The manufacturing of biopharmaceutical drug solutions can involve close contact with various polymeric components, including common filter membranes. Potential leachable substances from filters may interact with the protein and thereby increase the structural damage and aggregation. The main aim of the study deals with the assessment of extractable and leachable (E/L) from different filters and the potential effect of E/Ls on protein (human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (rh-GCSF) stability.

Previous reports in the literature describe that the crystallization of hexaphenyl carbodiphosphorane (CDP) from a variety of solvents gives a "bent" geometry for the P-C-P moiety as the solid-state molecular structure. However, a linear structure is observed when CDP is crystallized from benzene. Here, we report detailed spectroscopic and theoretical studies on the linear and bent structures.

We present the syntheses of trigonal planar coordinated Fe(ii) carbodiphosphorane (CDPR) complexes, starting from iron(ii)-bis(trimethylsilylamide) [Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2] and hexaphenyl-(CDPPh) and sym-dimethyltetraphenyl-carbodiphosphoranes (CDPMe), respectively. Both complexes [CDPPh-Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2] (1) and [CDPMe-Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2] (2) were examined in solution and in the solid state. 1 shows a dissociation equilibrium in solution which we monitored by variable temperature 1H-NMR spectroscopy.

Herein, we present a series of hexaphenyl carbodiphosphorane (CDP) adducts of heavier group 15 trichlorides ECl (E = P-Bi). The reaction with PCl yields the known salt [CDP-PCl][Cl] ([1][Cl]), the heavier element trichlorides ECl (E = Sb (4), Bi (5)) give the neutral adducts CDP-ECl which were characterised crystallographically and spectroscopically. The reaction of CDP with AsCl does not yield CDP-AsCl (2), but in the presence of GaCl the corresponding salt [CDP-AsCl][GaCl] ([3][GaCl]) is formed.

This work reports the syntheses and the first crystal structures of the cationic carbone adducts [FC(PPh3 )2 ](+) and [BrC(PPh3 )2 ](+) and the protonated dication [FC(H)(PPh3 )2 ](2+) , which are derived from the carbone C(PPh3 )2 . Quantum chemical calculations and bonding analyses were carried out for the series of cations [AC(PPh3 )2 ](+) and dications [AC(H)(PPh3 )2 ](2+) , where A=H, Me, F, Cl, Br, I. The bonding analysis suggests that the cations are best described as phosphane complexes L→(CA)(+) ←L (L=PPh3 ), which are related to the neutral borylene adducts L→(BA)←L (L=cyclic carbene; A=H, aryl) that were recently isolated.
