Journal ArticleDOI

4-Piperidinylpyridinium tetrachloroferrate(III): structure and low-temperature magnetic ordering

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependence of the Mossbauer spectra and AC susceptibility confirm a Neel temperature of approximately 2.5 K and an uncanted three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactions of 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene with Os3 (CO)12: C-H and C-P bond cleavage reactions

TL;DR: In this paper, a reaction carried out in refluxing toluene is described, and the reaction is shown to contain ligands formed by metallation of a Ph group of dppn.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chiral Sulfur Compounds. XV. Diastereoselective Additions of Lithiated S-Benzyl-N-t-butyldiphenylsilyl-S-methyl-sulfoximine to Imines and Aldehydes

TL;DR: In this paper, the lithium salt of S-benzyl-N-t-butyldiphenylsilyl-S-methylsulfoximine (2) undergoes 1,2-addition to imines that have been activated by precomplexation with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF3.Et2O), and aldehydes, with high diastereoselectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A metallotricycle: synthesis, one-electron reduction, and crystal structure of the thermally robust complex tris-o-xylidenetungsten(VI), [W(CH2C6H4CH2-o)3]

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermally robust, reversible one-electron-reducible complex of quasi 3/m symmetry with the o-xylidene ligand planes aligned parallel to the molecular axis and unusually folded, with significant, and possibly stabilising, W−π interactions was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of [LiPPh(SiMe3)(tmeda)]2 (from Mg(PHPh)2(tmeda) or Li(PHPh)(tmeda)) and the X-ray structure of the trans-isomer (tmeda=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine)

TL;DR: In this paper, the phosphido groups bridge two lithium centres to form Li2P2 rings, which is consistent with the dimeric structure found in the solid for the trans-isomer by an X-ray structure determination.
