We have observed two high-valent arylpalladiumfluoride complexes that afford carbon-fluorine bond formation upon thermolysis.

The thermal decomposition of a number of nitramines was studied in dilute solution and in the melt. The nitramines included acyclic mononitramines [dimethylnitramine (DMN), diethylnitramine (DEN), dipropylnitramine (DPN), and diisopropylnitramine (DIPN)], cyclic mononitramines [N-nitro-piperidine (NPIP) and N-nitropyrrolidine (NPyr)], cyclic dinitramines [N-dinitropiperazine (pDNP), 1,3-dinitro...

Three molecular sulfido complexes containing a Cd-S-Sn structure motive, [{(tmeda)Cd}3(SnPh)2S6] (1), [{(tmeda)Cd}2(SnPh2)2S4] (2) and [{(iPr3P)Cd}3Cd4(SnPh2)6S13] (3), have been synthesized characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. So far, 2 is the first cadmium tin complex soluble in common organic solvents. Analysis 113Cd 119Sn NMR spectroscopy shows slow rearrangement solution, whi...

Three perchlorate salts of pyridine have been prepared and characterized by gravimetric and elemental analyses. Thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been carried out in static air, to examine the thermal decomposition process of these salts. Isothermal TG of these salts have been done to evaluate the kinetics of thermal decomposition in the temperature range 290-41...

Laser radiation-induced decomposition of gaseous organic selenides and tellurides resulting in chemical deposition of nanostructured materials on cold surfaces is reviewed with regard to the mechanism of the gas-phase decomposition and properties of the deposited materials. The laser photolysis and laser thermolysis of the Se and Te precursors leading to chalcogen deposition can also serve as a...

The AgBr and Ag(2)Se nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized for the first time from two single source precursors ([Ag(2)(L)(2)Br(2)] (1) and [Ag(L-HBr)(2)]BF(4) (2) respectively) designed using the same ligand 3-benzyl-1-(2-phenylselanyl-ethyl)-3H-imidazolium bromide (L). The ODE-ODA-OA (1 : 1 : 2) and TOP-OA (1 : 2) are most suitable solvents for thermolysis of 1 and 2 respectively, resulti...
