Vinyl Triflimides—A Case of Assisted Vinyl Cation Formation

A new concept for selectivity control in carbocation‐driven reactions has been identified which allows for the chemo‐, regio‐, and stereoselective addition of nucleophiles to alkynes—assisted vinyl cation formation—enabled by a Li⁺‐based supramolecular framework. Mechanistic analysis of a model complex (Li₂NTf₂⁺?3 H₂O) confirms that solely the formation of a complex between the incoming nucleophile and the transition state of the alkyne protonation is responsible for the resulting selective N addition to the vinyl cation. Into the bargain, a general, operationally simple synthetic procedure to previously inaccessible vinyl triflimides is provided.

Abläufe der Ammonolysen der Ammoniumhexafluorometallate des Aluminiums,Galliums und Indiums, (NH4)3MF6 (M = Al,Ga, In)

The Courses of the Ammonolyses of the Ammonium Hexafluorometalates of Aluminum, Gallium, and Indium, (NH₄)₃MF₆ (M = Al, Ga, In) The courses of the ammonolysis reactions of the ammonium hexafluorometalates (NH₄)₃MF₆ (M = Al, Ga, In) were investigated with the aid of in‐situ powder diffractometry and differential thermal analysis. Under these conditions, the reaction of (NH₄)₃AlF₆ with gaseous ammonia yields at about 360 °C AlF₃ via the intermediates NH₄AlF₄, Al(NH₃)₂F₃ and Al(NH₃)F₃. The ammonolysis of (NH₄)₃GaF₆ produces GaN at about 400 °C. Depending upon the actual reaction conditions, the intermediates NH₄GaF₄ and Ga(NH₃)F₃ as well as their ammonia adducts NH₄GaF₄ · NH₃ and Ga(NH₃)₂F₃ and the amide‐ammoniate Ga(NH₃)(NH₂)F₂ are observed. In the case of (NH₄)₃InF₆ the intermediates (NH₄)₃InF₆ · NH₃ and In(NH₃)F₃ may exist; there are also indications for the reduction of In(III) to In(I) and for the existence of In(NH₃)₂F and InF as products of the ammonolysis of (NH₄)₃InF₆.     

The solubility of Co in TiO2 anatase and rutile and its effect on the magnetic properties

Co-doped anatase and rutile bulk-samples prepared by the sol-gel technique are found to be paramagnetic at room-temperature. Only further annealing in Ar/H₂ gas results in a ferromagnetic behavior. X-ray diffraction and electron-microscope studies reveal for low doping levels <4% the formation of Co-doped rutile samples and the formation of CoTiO₃ as a new phase. Co₃O₄ can be detected in anatase samples with Co doping levels ?4%. The observed Co oxides are reduced by Ar/H₂ to Co metal. The room-temperature ferromagnetism can therefore be traced back to a segregation of metallic Co.
