A Structurally Characterized Cobalt(I) σ-Alkane Complex

A cobalt σ-alkane complex, [Co(Cy₂P(CH₂)₄PCy₂)(norbornane)][BAr^F₄], was synthesized by a single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas hydrogenation from a norbornadiene precursor, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Magnetic data show this complex to be a triplet. Periodic DFT and electronic structure analyses revealed weak C−H→Co σ-interactions, augmented by dispersive stabilization between the alkane ligand and the anion microenvironment. The calculations are most consistent with a η¹:η¹-alkane binding mode.

Phospholenes from Phosphabenzenes by Selective Ring Contraction

A 3-amino-functionalized phosphabenzene (phosphinine) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The pyramidalized nitrogen atom of the dimethylamino substituent indicates only a weak interaction between the lone pair of the nitrogen atom and the aromatic phosphorus heterocycle, resulting in somewhat basic character. It turned out that the amino group can indeed be protonated by HCl. In contrast to pyridines, however, the phosphabenzene-ammonium salt undergoes a selective ring contraction to form a hydroxylphospholene oxide in the presence of additional water. Based on deuterium labeling experiments and quantum chemical calculations, a rational mechanism for this hitherto unknown conversion is proposed.     

Carbon–Carbon Bond Forming Reactions Promoted by Aluminyl and Alumoxane Anions: Introducing the Ethenetetraolate Ligand

[K{Al(NON^Dipp)}]₂ (NON^Dipp=[O(SiMe₂NDipp)₂]²⁻, Dipp=2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃) reacts with CS₂ to afford the trithiocarbonate species [K(OEt₂)][Al(NON^Dipp)(CS₃)] 1 or the ethenetetrathiolate complex, [K{Al(NON^Dipp)(S₂C)}]₂ [ 3 ]₂. The dimeric alumoxane [K{Al(NON^Dipp)(O)}]₂ reacts with carbon monoxide to afford the oxygen analogue of 3 , [K{Al(NON^Dipp)(O₂C)}]₂ [ 4 ]₂ containing the hitherto unknown ethenetetraolate ligand, [C₂O₄]⁴⁻.     

tert‐Butyl 2‐[2‐(ethoxy­carbo­thio­yl­amino)‐3‐pyridyl­oxy]acetate and tert‐butyl 2‐(3‐thio­xopyrido­[2,1‐c][1,2,4]thia­diazol‐8‐yl­oxy)­acetate

Compounds (I), C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₄S, and (II), C₁₂H₁₄N₂O₃S₂, are two minor products of the same reaction. Both structures contain identical ester functionalities in similar orientations. Both independent mol­ecules of (I) contain an ethoxy­carbo­thio­yl­amine moiety, whilst (II) possesses a novel exocyclic thione system fused with a pyridine ring.     

Effect of Spontaneous Emission on Both Atomic Dynamics and Momentum Transfer of an Atom-cavity System

The dynamics of an atom coupling to a quantized cavity field have been studied. The atom is treated as a two-level system with a spontaneous emission rate. The transition probabilities have been given for both adiabatic and non-adiabatic situations. For a special Λ-type atom with dark state, the problem of momentum transfer is discussed in details. The influence of spontaneous emission on validity of the adiabatic approximation is also discussed.     

Dynamic properties of blue-phase mixtures

The dynamics of electric-field-induced lattice distortions and phase transitions in the BPI, BPII and BPIII (fog) phases of blue-phase mixtures, which include low-molar-mass and/or polymeric components, have been studied. Several electric-field-induced effects have been observed in the blue phases, and the electro-optic characteristics of the driven and non-driven responses of each are considered. Anomalous behaviour in BPIII, where driven response times were measured to be slower than the relaxation responses, is described and considered with respect to relaxation processes previously observed in BPII. Finally, we present data for a mixture containing 40 per cent by weight of a side-chain-polymer liquid crystal. In this case only BPI was observed, and it appears that the increased viscosity had little effect on the response times of the system. These data are discussed.
