	abstract = {The development of new synthetic technologies for the selective fluorination of organic compounds has increased with the escalating importance of fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals. Traditional methods potentially applicable to drug synthesis rely on the use of ionic forms of fluorine (F(-) or F(+)). Radical methods, while potentially attractive as a complementary approach, are hindered by a paucity of safe sources of atomic fluorine (F({\textbullet})). A new approach to alkyl fluorination has been developed that utilizes the reagent N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide as a fluorine transfer agent to alkyl radicals. This approach is successful for a broad range of alkyl radicals, including primary, secondary, tertiary, benzylic, and heteroatom-stabilized radicals. Furthermore, calculations reveal that fluorine-containing ionic reagents are likely candidates for further expansion of this approach to polar reaction media. The use of these reagents in alkyl radical fluorination has the potential to enable powerful new transformations that otherwise would take multiple synthetic steps.},

	abstract = {The electronic structure of organic sulfonyl compounds of the form RSO(2)G (G = -Cl, -OH, -CH(3)) is investigated to evaluate the effect of aryl R groups on photocleavage of the S-G bond. Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides a direct measure of the empty low-lying molecular orbitals in these complexes and, in combination with DFT calculations, a detailed description of the bonding in these compounds. The presence of an aryl group bound to the sulfonyl moiety has a significant impact on the spectroscopy and electronic structure of the site. The analysis suggests that the SCl(sigma*) orbital is significantly affected by mixing with the aryl pi* manifold. This mixing is dependent upon the nature of G and is most pronounced in the sulfonyl chlorides, where the energy of the SCl(sigma*) orbital is lowered by approximately 0.5 eV. The observed mixing is best described as excited-state hyperconjugation of the aryl pi system into the SCl(sigma*) orbital. The magnitude of the effect can be estimated directly from the S K-edge XAS spectra. These results are discussed in relation to the observed photochemistry of RSO(2)Cl, which is significantly enhanced when R = aryl as compared to alkyl substituents.},

	abstract = {Thiolate ligand oxygenation is believed to activate cytotoxic half-sandwich [(eta(6)-arene)Ru(en)(SR)](+) complexes toward DNA binding. We have made detailed comparisons of the nature of the Ru-S bond in the parent thiolato complexes and mono- (sulfenato) and bis- (sulfinato) oxygenated species including the influence of substituents on the sulfur and arene. Sulfur K-edge XAS indicates that S(3p) donation into the Ru(4d) manifold depends strongly on the oxidation state of the sulfur atom, whereas Ru K-edge data suggest little change at the metal center. DFT results are in agreement with the experimental data and allow a more detailed analysis of the electronic contributions to the Ru-S bond. Overall, the total ligand charge donation to the metal center remains essentially unchanged upon ligand oxygenation, but the origin of the donation differs markedly. In sulfenato complexes, the terminal oxo group makes a large contribution to charge donation and even small electronic changes in the thiolato complexes are amplified upon ligand oxygenation, an observation which carries direct implications for the biological activity of this family of complexes. Details of Ru-S bonding in the mono-oxygenated complexes suggest that these should be most susceptible to ligand exchange, yet only if protonation of the terminal oxo group can occur. The potential consequences of these results for biological activation are discussed.},

In an attempt to extend the addition of hydride reagents E-H (where E = BR2, AIR(2), and SiR3) to the dinitrogen complex ([NPN]Ta)(2)(mu-H)(2)(mu-eta(2):eta(2)-N-2) [1; where NPN = (PhNSiMe2CH2)(2)PPh], the reaction with zirconocene chlorohydride, [Cp2Zr(Cl)H](x), was examined. The crystalline product formed in 35\% yield was determined to be ([NP(N)N]Ta)(mu-H)(2)(mu-N)(Ta[NPN])(ZrCP2) (2) in which the coordinated N-2 has been cleaved to form a phosphinimide bridging between Ta and Zr and a triply bridging nitride. The mechanism of this reaction was examined to determine the fate of the chloride and hydricle ligands attached to Zr in the starting zirconocene reagent. Using the zirconocene dihydride dimer ([Cp2ZrH2](2)), a higher yield of 2 was obtained (76\%), and H-2 was also observed by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. To probe the origin of the eliminated H-2, the dideuterated dinitrogen complex ([NPN]Ta)(2)(tLID)(2)(mu-eta(1):n(2)-N-2) (d(2)-1) was allowed to react with ([CP2ZrH2](2)), which resulted in the formation of ([NP(N)N]Ta)(mu-D)(2)(mu-N)(Ta[NPN]) (ZrCP2), (d(2)-2), with no evidence of hydrogen for deuterium scrambling between the starting zirconocene dihydride and the ditantalum dinitrogen complex. Studies into the use of preformed Zr(II) and Ti(II) reagents were also performed. The proposed mechanism involves initial adduct formation that facilitates inner-sphere electron transfer to cleave the N-N bond to form a species with bridging nitrides, one of which is transformed by nucleophilic attack of a phosphine donor to generate the observed phosphinimide.},

(Our designation of a particular geometrical isomer as cis or trans in this family of complexes indicates the relative positions of the hydrocarbyl and the hydrido ligands in the base of a four-legged piano-stool molecular structure.) The use of D-2 in place of H-2 during these syntheses affords the corresponding trans-Cp*W(NO)(CH2EMe3)(D)(PMe3) (E = C, Si) complexes. The cis-Cp*W(NO)(CH2EMe3)(H)(PMe3) isomers are obtainable by C-H bond-activation reactions of the trans precursors. Thus, activation of SiMe4 by trans-Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)(H)(PMe3) under ambient conditions produces cis-Cp*W(NO)(CH2SiMe3)(H)(PMe3). Similarly, activations of C6H6 and C6D6 at 20-27 degreesC by the trans-Cp*W(NO)(CH2EMe3)(H)(PMe3) complexes produce cis-Cp*W(NO)(C6H5)(H)(PMe3) and cisCp*W(NO)(C6D5)(D)(PMe3), respectively, and the solid-state molecular structure of the latter complex has been established by a single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. Kinetic, mechanistic, and theoretical investigations of these benzene C-H activation processes are consistent with initial trans to cis isomerization of the reactants followed by intramolecular reductive elimination of EMe4 to form the 16-electron Cp*W(NO)(PMe3) intermediate. Subsequent oxidative addition of the incoming benzene substrate to this coordinatively unsaturated intermediate produces the final cis hydrido phenyl complex. These single C-H activation processes are the requisite first steps in the development of these organometallic complexes as catalysts for the selective functionalization of hydrocarbons. All new complexes have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods.},

	abstract = {Detailed spectroscopic and computational studies of the low-spin iron complexes [Fe(III)(S2(Me2)N3 (Pr,Pr))(N3)] (1) and [Fe(III)(S2(Me2)N3 (Pr,Pr))]1+ (2) were performed to investigate the unique electronic features of these species and their relation to the low-spin ferric active sites of nitrile hydratases. Low-temperature UV/vis/NIR and MCD spectra of 1 and 2 reflect electronic structures that are dominated by antibonding interactions of the Fe 3d manifold and the equatorial thiolate S 3p orbitals. The six-coordinate complex 1 exhibits a low-energy S(pi) {\textendash}> Fe 3d(xy) (approximately 13,000 cm(-1)) charge-transfer transition that results predominantly from the low energy of the singly occupied Fe 3d(xy) orbital, due to pure pi interactions between this acceptor orbital and both thiolate donor ligands in the equatorial plane. The 3d(pi) {\textendash}> 3d(sigma) ligand-field transitions in this species occur at higher energies (>15,000 cm(-1)), reflecting its near-octahedral symmetry. The Fe 3d(xz,yz) {\textendash}> Fe 3d(xy) (d(pi) {\textendash}> d(pi)) transition occurs in the near-IR and probes the Fe(III)-S pi-donor bond; this transition reveals vibronic structure that reflects the strength of this bond (nu(e) approximately 340 cm(-1)). In contrast, the ligand-field transitions of the five-coordinate complex 2 are generally at low energy, and the S(pi) {\textendash}> Fe charge-transfer transitions occur at much higher energies relative to those in 1. This reflects changes in thiolate bonding in the equatorial plane involving the Fe 3d(xy) and Fe 3d(x2-y2) orbitals. The spectroscopic data lead to a simple bonding model that focuses on the sigma and pi interactions between the ferric ion and the equatorial thiolate ligands, which depend on the S-Fe-S bond angle in each of the complexes. These electronic descriptions provide insight into the unusual S = 1/2 ground spin state of these complexes: the orientation of the thiolate ligands in these complexes restricts their pi-donor interactions to the equatorial plane and enforces a low-spin state. These anisotropic orbital considerations provide some intriguing insights into the possible electronic interactions at the active site of nitrile hydratases and form the foundation for further studies into these low-spin ferric enzymes.},

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on model NiAz structures establish that orbitals 3d(x2-y2) and 3d(z2) are the two valence holes in the high-spin Ni(II) ground state, and in accord with the experimentally determined orbital magnetic moment, the DFT results also demonstrate that both holes are highly delocalized, with 3d(x2-y2) having much greater ligand character.},

Complex 1 is thermally sensitive both as a solid and in solutions, and is best handled below -20 degreesC. To isolate 1 reproducibly from MeNO2 solutions it is necessary to remove all traces of propionitrile, which often occurs as an impurity in MeNO2, because it reacts with Lewis-acidic 1 to form [Fe(NO)(3)(EtCN)][PF6] (2). If trace H2O is present during the synthesis of 1, some of the PF6- is converted to PO2F2-, which is sufficiently Lewis basic that it captures two Fe(NO)(3)(+) fragments and forms [(ON)(3)Fe(mu-PO2F2)Fe(NO)(3)]-[PF6] (3). Finally, Fe(NO)(3)(eta(1)-BF4) (4) can be obtained as a green microcrystalline powder by employing the same synthetic methodologies used to prepare 1. The new complexes 1-4 have been characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods, and the solid-state molecular structures of 2, 3, and 4 and their parent compound, Fe(NO)(3)Cl, have been established by X-ray diffraction methods. The iron centers in the Fe(NO)(3) fragments in all these structures exhibit approximately tetrahedral coordination geometries, and the Fe-N-O linkages are distinctly nonlinear with bond angles in the range of 159 to 169degrees. DFT calculations on Fe(NO)(3)(eta(1)-BF4) (4) confirm that its bent Fe-N-O links have an electronic origin and need not be attributed to other factors, such as packing forces in the crystal. Interestingly, the bending of the NO ligands results in an increase in the energy of the HOMO, relative to the linear case, but at the same time causes a decrease in energy of the HOMO-1 and the HOMO-2 molecular orbitals. This more than compensates for the higher energy of the HOMO, resulting in a lower energy structure.},

Al-27 MAS and DOR experiments at three different magnetic field strengths together with simulations show the presence of two tetrahedral sites, one pentacoordinated and one octahedral aluminum site. The Al-27 quadrupolar coupling constants and the P-31 isotropic chemical shifts of the tetrahedral sites correlate well with tetrahedral shear-strain parameters and mean P-O-Al bond angles, respectively. These correlations allow one to assign all of the NMR resonances to specific T-sites in the proposed framework structure. The assignments are then further confirmed by the application of three different two-dimensional heteronuclear correlation methods (i.e., Al-27 {\textendash}> P-31 TEDOR, CP, and INEPT) which reveal the connectivities between AlOx and PO4 polyhedra.

Their W-VIS spectra are compared with a series of blown alkyl-substituted dipyrrin chelates and, based oil the W-VIS spectral analysis, the dihedral angle between the two ligands iri the bis[meso-phenyldipyrrinato]Ni(II) complex was calculated to be 42 degrees. The molecular structure of this complex was determined by X-ray crystallography, essentially confirming the calculation. Crystals of C30H22N4Ni are orthorhombic},
