Fluoride-Ion Donor Properties of AsF.

Arsenic pentafluoride undergoes ligand-induced autoionization in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in a SOClF solution to form the donor-stabilized [AsF(phen)][AsF] salt. Reacting [AsF(phen)][AsF] with the strong Lewis acid SbF·SO yields the mixed arsenic-antimony salt [AsF(phen)][SbF]. These salts are the first examples of crystallographically characterized donor-stabilized [AsF] cations.

Unmet Need for Outpatient Occupational Therapy Services Among Veterans With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in the Veterans Health Administration: The Role of Facility Characteristics.

Design: In a secondary analysis of national VHA data, we used modified Poisson regression to model OT utilization (yes/no) as a function of participation restrictions (Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory Participation Index [M2PI]), facility characteristics, and covariates. Facility characteristics included complexity, geographic region, and self-reported access to specialty care.

Interaction Modes Between SF and Ketones; Study of Intermediates in Deoxofluorination Reactions.

Interactions between ketones and SF are studied for the simplest ketone, acetone, and the bulky polycyclic 2-adamantanone. Acetone forms the 1 : 2 adduct SF  ⋅ [O=C(CH ) ] as well as the dimeric 1 : 1 adducts [SF  ⋅ O=C(CH ) ] as identified by low-temperature Raman spectroscopy and, for the latter, X-ray crystallography. In both adducts, SF acts as a double chalcogen-bond donor to two keto groups.

Donor-Stabilised [SbF ] : SbF as a Fluoride-Ion Donor.

Antimony pentafluoride is a strong Lewis acid and fluoride-ion acceptor that has not previously demonstrated any discreet fluoride-ion donor properties. The first donor-stabilised [SbF ] cations were prepared from the autoionisation of SbF in the presence of bidentate N-donor ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as their [SbF ] salts. The [SbF (N-N)][Sb F ] (N-N=bipy, phen) salts were synthesised by the addition of one equivalent of SbF ⋅SO to [SbF (N-N)][SbF ] in liquid SO The salts show remarkable stability and were characterised by Raman spectroscopy and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.
