It turns out there is nothing special about potassium after all: Sodium and lithium metal reduce AlIII iodide precursors to the M2[Al(NONDipp)]2 aluminyls (M=Li, Na). Addition of Et2O afforded monomeric ion pairs (NONDipp)Al-M(Et2O)2 containing unsupported Al−Li Al−Na bonds. All species activate dihydrogen, albeit at significantly different rates reaction.

Non-ideal behaviour of mixed ions is disclosed in skin absorption experiments halide anions excised pig skin. Comparison pure and shows enhanced penetration chaotropic from solutions. An experimental design statistical analysis using a Scheffé {3,2} simplex-lattice allows investigating the full ternary diagram anion mixtures fluoride, bromide iodide. Synergism observed for iodide anions. A refi...

The solvation of the ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridine) ion ([Ru(bpy)3](2+)) is investigated with molecular dynamics simulations of lithium halide solutions in polar solvents. The anion distribution around the [Ru(bpy)3](2+) complex exhibits a strong solvent dependence. In aqueous solution, the iodide ion forms a solvent shared complex with [Ru(bpy)3](2+), but not in the other solvents. Between Cl(...

In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(C(4)H(9)N(3)S)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], the Cu(I) ion displays a distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry involving two P atoms of two triphenyl-phosphane mol-ecules, one S atom of a 1-(propan-2-yl-idene)thio-semicarbazide mol-ecule and one iodide ion. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions [C-H⋯centroid distances = 3.443 (3) and 3.788 (3) Å] and N-H⋯S hydrogen ...

In the title compound, [CuI(C(13)H(12)N(2)S)(2)]·H(2)O, each Cu(I) ion is coordinated by two S atoms [Cu-S 2.2282 (16), 2.2377 (15) Å] from two N,N'-diphenyl-thio-urea ligands and one iodide ion [Cu-I 2.5170 (11) Å] in a trigonal planar geometry. The uncoordinated water mol-ecules are involved in N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding [N⋯O 2.947 (5), 3.055 (5) Å], which link the mol-ecules into chains extended...
