By combining the information from 19F, 1H-HOESY and PGSE NMR methodologies, unprecedented direct evidence has been obtained for the formation of supramolecular assemblies in solution between the trinuclear cyclic AuI basic compounds ([Au(mu-C2,N3-bzim)]3 (bzim = 1-benzylimidazolate), 1, and [Au(mu-C,N-C(OEt)=N-p-C6H4-CH3)]3, 2, on one hand, and the trinuclear cyclic HgII acid complex [Hg(mu-C,C-C6F4)]3, 3, on the other hand. HOESY experiments indicate that a stacking similar to that observed in the solid state occurs. PGSE studies demonstrate the presence of an equilibrium between the free trinuclear entities and adduct A in the case of 2/3 admixtures (see Sketch) while for 1/3 admixtures, adducts A and B are mainly present in solution.

Synthesis of enones, pyrazolines and pyrrolines with gem-difluoroalkyl side chains.

Starting from easily accessible gem-difluoropropargylic derivatives, a DBU-mediated isomerisation affords enones in fair yields with a gem-difluoroalkyl chain. These derivatives were used to prepare pyrazolines and pyrrolines with the desired gem-difluoroalkyl side chain by cyclocondensations in good yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. A one-pot process was also successfully developed for these sequential reactions.

PGSE diffusion, 19F, 1H HOESY and 13C NMR studies for a series of [Ru(Cp*)(eta6-arene)][PF6] (1) salts are presented. The solid-state structure of [Ru(Cp*)(eta6-fluorobenzene)][PF6] (1 c) is reported. The extent of the ion pairing and the relative positions of the ions are shown to depend on the arene.

The aggregation tendency of complexes [Ru(eta6-cymene)(N,O)Cl]X [N,O = 2-benzoylpyridine (2-bzpy), 1, and 2-acetylpyridine (2-acpy), 2, X- = BPh4- or PF6-] has been studied by means of PGSE NMR experiments. It was found that complexes with PF6- as counterion are mainly present in CD2Cl2 as ion pairs at low concentration, as a mixture of ion triples and free anions at medium concentration and as ion quadruples at elevated concentration. 19F, 1H-HOESY NMR experiments revealed that in ion triples and ion quadruples two cationic Ru-units pair up.

Changing the counteranion along the series Br, BF4, PF6, SbF6 in their ion-paired 2-pyridylmethyl imidazolium salts causes the kinetic reaction products with IrH5(PPh3)2 to switch from chelating N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) having normal C2 (N path) to abnormal C5 binding (AN path). Computational work (DFT) suggests that the AN path involves C-H oxidative addition to Ir(III) to give Ir(V) with little anion dependence. The N path, in contrast, goes by heterolytic C-H activation with proton transfer to the adjacent hydride.

The complete assignment of 19F, 1H and 13C NMR spectra for a monosubstituted octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane derivative is described for the first time. The unambiguous assignments were achieved through the combination of 19F--1H HOESY, 1H COSY and 19F COSY techniques and then further confirmed employing a complementary approach using a Karplus-dependent 3JCF interaction.
