A novel, versatile route to phosphorus- and carbon-substituted η(5)-phosphacyclohexadienyl complexes was developed. Reaction of the anionic 2,4,6-triphenylphosphinine iron complex [K([18]crown-6)(thf)2][Cp*Fe(PC5Ph3H2)] (1) with selected main group element electrophiles afforded the new complexes [Cp*Fe(2-endo-H-PC5Ph3H2)] (endo-3), [Cp*Fe(2-exo-H-PC5Ph3H2)] (exo-3), [Cp*Fe(1-Me-PC5Ph3H2)] (4),...

Two-dimensional real-time observation of potassium ion distributions was achieved using an ion imaging device based on charge-coupled device (CCD) and metal-oxide semiconductor technologies, and an ion selective membrane. The CCD potassium ion image sensor was equipped with an array of 32 × 32 pixels (1024 pixels). It could record five frames per second with an area of 4.16 × 4.16 mm(2). Potass...

The reaction of [Ru(C(9)H(10)BN(6))Cl(C(18)H(15)P)(2)] with benzo-nitrile leads to crystals of the title compound, [Ru(C(9)H(10)BN(6))Cl(C(18)H(15)P)(C(7)H(5)N)]·C(2)H(5)OH. In the crystal structure, the environment about the ruthenium metal center corresponds to a slightly distorted octa-hedron with an average N-Ru-N bite angle of the Tp ligand of 86.6 (2)°.

Electrochemical, acoustic wave and imaging (AFM) methods were used to characterize electroactive poly[Ni(3-Mesalophen-b15-c5)] films. The distinct physical principles of these techniques generate different responses to film characteristics, such that their simplistic correlation in the context of a single uniform film model does not adequately describe the data. Film behaviour can only be ratio...

We present the synthesis and characterization of (15-crown-5)BiI3 (1) ⋅ 0.5TIE (2), a halogen bonded adduct with tetraiodoethylene (TIE), typical bond donor. Single crystal structure analysis 2 suggests bonding interaction between crown ether complex TIE. The two compounds’ thermal, optical vibrational properties are investigated in comparison, differences pointing towards notable building bloc...
