We demonstrate that non-stoichiometric lithium imide is a highly active catalyst for the production of high-purity hydrogen from ammonia, with superior ammonia decomposition activity to a number of other catalyst materials. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that the catalyst deviates from pure imide stoichiometry under ammonia flow, with active catalytic behaviour observed across a...

In this study the diffusion coefficient of neutral and cationic ferrocenyl-derivatives have been characterised in a range of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquids of the general form [C(n)C(1)Im](+)[X](-). The electrochemistry of ferrocene, 1-ferrocenylmethylimidazole (FcC(1)Im), 1-ferrocenylmethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([FcC(1)C(1)Im][Tf(2)N]) and N,N,N,N-trimethylf...

Three different kinds of cyclic imides with imido protons are chosen to interact with Hg(II): succinimide, the simplest cyclic imide (five-membered ring); phthalimide (conjugated five-membered ring); and 1,8-naphthalimide (conjugated six-membered ring). Based on the results of MS, (1)H-NMR, XPS, IR spectroscopy and fluorescence response analyses, it is suggested that N-unsubstituted cyclic imid...

The magnetic field effects (MFEs) on photoinduced hydrogen abstraction reactions of benzophenone (BP) with thiophenol (PhSH) in the ionic liquids (ILs) N,N,N-trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (TMPA TFSI), N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (P13 TFSI), and N-methyl-N-propylpiperidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (PP13 TFSI) we...

The title compound, C(30)H(22)N(2)O(4), is a derivative of the naphthalene-imide pigments that are characterized by significant overlap of the stacked mol-ecules. The mol-ecule has a centre of symmetry. Accordingly, the phenylethyl groups are arranged in a trans fashion across the skeleton. The phenyl rings are not parallel to the naphthalene-imide skeleton and are twisted in the same direction...

In the title compound, C16H11NO2·C5H9NO, the dihedral angles between the male-imide and phenyl rings are 34.7 (2) and 64.8 (2)°. In the crystal, the 2,3-di-phenyl-male-imide and 1-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-one mol-ecules form centrosymmetrical dimers via pairs of strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the two neighboring male-imide rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.495...

We investigate the pretilt characteristics of a nematic liquid crystal [LC] in terms of ion beam exposure conditions on the homeotropic polyimide alignment layer. The pretilt angle of LCs in the case of high-energy ion beam treatment was decreased considerably almost the same to that of the homogenous alignment layer though we used homeotropic polyimide film at first. Increasing irradiating ene...

In the title compound, [Li(2)(CF(3)SO(2)NSO(2)CF(3))(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)](n), two Li(+) cations reside on crystallographic inversion centers, each coordinated by six O atoms from bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI(-)) anions. The third Li(+) cation on a general position is four-coordinated by two anion O atoms and two N atoms from acetonitrile mol-ecules in a tetra-hedral geometry.

A new family of low-coordinate nickel imides supported by 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane was synthesized. Oxidation of nickel(II) complexes led to the formation of both aryl- and alkyl-substituted nickel(III)-imides, and examples of both types have been isolated and fully characterized. The aryl substituent that proved most useful in stabilizing the Ni(III)-imide moiety was the bulky 2,6...
