ABSTRACTA series of novel compounds was isolated in the course of exploratory work on the chemistry of titanium halides in liquid ammonia. This work was undertaken to study synthetic approaches to titanium-containing precursors of ceramic materials. Representative of these compounds is a mixed valence Ti(III)-Ti(IV) tetramer, [NH4+·NH3]2[Ti4Br4 (NH2)12]−2, which was produced by the reaction of potassium borohydride and titanium IV bromide in liquid ammonia at room temperature. Similar ammonium salts of either Ti(IV) or Ti(III) were also prepared. The reaction of the ammonium salts with sodium acetylide in liquid ammonia evolves acetylene in an amount equivalent to the ammonium ion present. This provided the charge of the complex and yielded novel titanium acetylide derivatives. The acetylides convert into titanium carbonitrides upon thermal treatment to 800°C.The reaction of titanium halides of their ammonolytic products with sodium acetylide in liquid ammonia to yield halogen-free acetylide precur-sors having a relatively high titanium content appears to be a convenient synthetic approach. This is made possible by the fact that the alkali metal halide by-products are soluble and easily separated in that reaction medium. This approach appears to be a generalized route applicable to a number of transition metal elements of interest.

We report on the first synthesis and structural characterization of the iron based aminoborane complexes. These species are formed upon protonation of a borohydride complex by ammonium salts.<br>

Palladium catalysts have been used to study the hydrogenation of 1-phenyl-2-butene-1-ol which is accompanied by several side reactions considered to be acid-catalysed. Another model reaction studied was dehydration and subsequent hydrogenation or hydrogenolysis of 1-phenyl-1,3-propanediol to 3-phenyl-1-propanol, accompanied by formation of propylbenzene. The dehydration and propylbenzene formation can be again classified as acid-catalysed reactions. Another one is methanolysis of styrene oxide taking place under conditions of liquid phase hydrogenation due to the acid properties of Pd-H systems. Hydrogenation activity of Pd catalysts was tested by hydrogenation of cyclohexene. Sixteen Pd catalysts on different supports and with different content of active component were used, their activity and selectivity was determined and the effect of variable parameters in the synthesis of these catalysts on the activity and selectivity is discussed.
