Crystal Structures of XeF2·2PtF4 and XeF2·2PdF4 Determined by 3D Electron Diffraction and Structural Models of XePtF6 Although the demonstration of noble-gas reactivity represents one of the most significant breakthroughs of 20th-century inorganic chemistry, the first noble-gas compound, XePtF6 (XeF2·PtF4), lacks com...

We used 3D electron diffraction to elucidate the crystal structures of XePt₂F₁₀ and XePd₂F₁₀. Based on these findings, we propose structural models for the first noble-gas compound, XePtF₆.

The Hexaphenyl-1,2-Diphosphonium Dication [Ph3P–PPh3]2+ The oxidation of triphenylphosphine by perfluorinated phenaziniumF aluminate in difluorobenzene affords the hexaaryl-1,2-di¬phosphonium dialuminate 1. Dication 12+ is isoelectronic with elusive hexaphenylethane, where instead the formation of a mixture of the trityl radical and Gomberg’s dimer is favored. Quantum-chemical calculations in combination with Raman/IR spectroscopies rationalize the stability of the P–P bonded dimer in 12+ and suggest, akin to the halogens, facile homolytic as well as heterolytic scission. Thus, 12+ serves as a surrogate of both the triphenylphosphorandiylium dication (Ph3P2+) and the triphenylphosphine radical monocation (Ph3P•+). Treating 1 with dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) replaces triphenylphosphine under heterolytic P–P bond scission. Qualifying as a superoxidant (E vs. Fc/Fc+ = +1.44 V), 1 oxidizes trimethylphosphine. Based on halide abstraction experiments (−BF4, −PF6, −SbCl6, −SbF6) as well as the deoxygenation of triethylphosphine oxide, triflate anions as well as toluic acid, 1 also features Lewis superacidity. The controlled hydrolysis affords Hendrickson’s reagent, which itself finds broad use as dehydration agent. Formally homolytic P–P bond scis¬sion is induced by diphenyldisulfide (PhSSPh), dihydrogen, and the triple bond in acetonitrile. The irradiation by light cleaves the P–P bond homolytically and generates transient triphenylphosphine radical cations, which engage in H-atom abstraction as well as CH phosphoranylation.

Here’s a little pottery piece I made pre-bisque firing… the colours will change.. as they include titanium, chromium, iron, copper and zinc based pigments
Quiz question… which pigment should show the biggest colour change and why?

Cu-Promoted ipso-Hydroxylation of sp2 Bonds with Concomitant Aromatic 1,2-Rearrangement Involving a Cu-oxyl-hydroxo Species Herein, we report the first example of Cu-promoted β ipso-hydroxylation of substituted benzophenones using a bidentate directing group (DG) and H2O2 as an oxidant. In addition to the new C–O bond form...

Happy to see this out. Collaboration with Isaac Garcia-Bosch, carried forward by Sunipa Goswami.

An unprecedented 1,2-rearrangement.

I was super happy after purchasing Pfennig's fancy #InorgChem book and was quite surprised to receive it today. It took less than a week for FedEx to bring it from the USA to Brazil.
The funny part is that #Wiley decided to give me someone else's engineering book and someone will receive MY book.
