The following gold(I) and silver(I) complexes of the tritertiary phosphine 1,1,1- tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane, tripod , have been synthesised: Au3(tripod)X3 [X = Cl(1), Br(2), I(3)]; [Au3  (tripod)2Cl2  ]Cl (4); Au(tripod)X [X = Br(5), I(6)]; Ag3(tripod)(NO3)3 (7), Ag(tripod)NO3 (8). They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (complexes 2, 3 and 4), P31 NMR spectroscopy, electrospray and FAB mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. Complexes 2 and 3 show a linear coordination geometry for Au(I), with relatively short Au-P bond distances. Complex 3 has a Au•••Au intramolecular distance of 3.326 A° , while complex 2 had a short Au•••Au intermolecular interaction of 3.048 A° . Complexes 4-6 were found by P31 NMR spectroscopy studies to contain a mixture of species in solution, one of which crystallised as [Au3(tripod|)2Cl2]Cl which was shown by X-ray diffraction to contain both tetrahedral and linear Au(I), the first example of a Au(I) complex containing such a mixture of geometries. The reaction of [Au3(tripod)Cl3] (1) with tripod led successfully to the formation of [Au3(tripod)Cl3][Au3(tripod|)2Cl2]+ and [Au3(tripod|)3Cl]2+ . The silver(I) complexes, 7 and 8 appear to contain linear and tetrahedral Ag(I), respectively.

Novel rhenium complexes with terminal thiocarbonyl groups have been synthesized from ReCl3(Me2PhP)3 and sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. mer-(Diethyldithiocarbamato)tris-(dimethylphenylphosphine)(thiocarbonyl)rhenium(I), mer-[Re(CS)(Me2PhP)3(Et2dtc)], and tris(diethyldithiocarbamato)(thiocarbonyl)rhenium(III), [Re(CS)(Et2dtc)3] have been studied by infrared and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray diffraction.mer-[Re(CS)(Me2PhP)3(Et2dtc)] crystallizes orthorhombic in the space group Pna21 with a = 1516.1(2), b = 2189.8(2) and c = 1035.6(1) pm. Structure solution and refinement converged at R = 0.042. The coordination geometry is a distorted octahedron. The Re—C bond length is found to be 184(2) pm.[Re(CS)(Et2dtc)3] crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P21/c with a = 962.2(6), b = 1744.0(2), c = 1537.4(6) pm and β = 96.21(1)°. The final R value is 0.028. In the monomeric complex the rhenium atom is seven-coordinate with an approximate pentagonal-bipyramidal coordination sphere and a rhenium-carbon distance of 181(1) pm.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

This paper describes the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)germane. In addition to a complete NMR spectroscopic characterization, including the rarely used 73Ge NMR spectroscopy, Ge(C2F5)4 was studied by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as X-ray diffraction analysis. A 73Ge NMR investigation as well as an X-ray diffraction study of the related germane Ge(CF3)4 are also included.

ABSTRACTBoron carbide is a ceramic material with excellent high temperature physical properties. As compared to conventional techniques, the preparation of boron carbide from polymeric precursors is attractive as this technique offers a number of unique advantages. In this paper, the screening of polymeric precursors to boron carbide will be discussed. Two promising boron carbide, carborane containing polymeric precursors have resulted in 60-70 wt.% ceramic yields. The chemistry of polymer synthesis and the transformations from the polymer to amorphous and crystalline boron carbide were investigated with infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and x ray diffraction.

In the functionalization of salicylaldehyde to give 5-(chloromethyl)salicylaldehyde, two byproducts [5-(hydroxymethyl)salicylaldehyde and 5,5′-methylenebis(salicylaldehyde)] were also isolated. ­Detailed characterizations and structural analyses of all three products by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and IR spectroscopic techniques are presented and discussed. A strategy is presented for the preferential isolation of the two byproducts through column chromatography.
