In the 1:1 reaction of XeF(2) with 1,4-(F(2)B)(2)C(6)F(4) in 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane the insoluble zwitterion 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenylene-1-xenonium-4-trifluoroborate, 1-(Xe(+))C(6)F(4)-4-(BF(3)(-)), was formed as the main product (77%) along with the zwitterion, 1-(Xe(+))-cyclo-1,4-C(6)F(6)-4-(BF(3)(-)), the [BF(4)](-) salts of the dication, [1,4-(Xe)(2)C(6)F(4)](2+), and the cation, [1-Xe-cyclo-1,4-C(6)F(6)-4-H](+). The isolation of pure 1-(Xe(+))C(6)F(4)-4-(BF(3)(-)) was feasible after extraction of the byproduct with 27% aq HF. The zwitterion, 1-(Xe(+))C(6)F(4)-4-(BF(3)(-)), was characterized by multi-NMR and Raman spectroscopy and by DSC. The zwitterion, 1-(Xe(+))C(6)F(4)-4-(BF(3)(-)), reacted with halide nucleophiles (in excess) in 27% aq HF to form [4-HalC(6)F(4)BF(3)](-) (Hal = I, Br, Cl) along with [2,3,5,6-C(6)F(4)HBF(3)](-), whereas with fluoride ions [2,3,5,6-C(6)F(4)HBF(3)](-) was obtained exclusively. Reactions of XeF(2) with 1,4-(F(2)B)(2)C(6)F(4) in the molar ratio 2:1 did not allow for improving the yield of the tetrafluoroborate salt with the dication [1,4-(Xe)(2)C(6)F(4)](2+). Instead, addition of fluorine to the phenylene unit was increased with the formation of 1-(Xe(+))-cyclo-1,4-C(6)F(6)-4-(BF(3)(-)), [1-Xe-cyclo-1,4-C(6)F(6)-4-H](+), and [1,4-(Xe)(2)-cyclo-1,4-C(6)F(6)](2+). After enrichment in an anhydrous hydrogen fluoride extract, the dication, [1,4-(Xe)(2)C(6)F(4)](2+), was characterized by multi-NMR spectroscopy and by means of chemical proof (reaction with an excess of KI to 1,4-I(2)C(6)F(4)).

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have attracted significant interest in material chemistry, particularly if they own extremely low band gaps and magnetic properties. However, challenges remain regarding the synthetic accessibility and energy saturation issues. In this study, we introduce NR-11, which consists of eleven aromatic rings in its main conjugation and is separately doped with two electron-rich nitrogen atoms.

The synthesis of the cluster complexes [(Cp'''Co)(μ,η:η:η-E)(μ-E)] (E=P (3), As (4)) starting from the anionic triple-decker complexes [K(18cr6)(dme)][(Cp'''Co)(μ,η:η-E)] (E=P (1), As (2)) by electrophilic quenching with the Co dimer [(Cp'''CoCl)] is reported. Both complexes show a distinct redox chemistry, which was first investigated by cyclic voltammetry. Subsequently, the monoanions [K(L)(sol)][(Cp'''Co)(μ,η:η:η-E)(μ-E)] (E=P, L=18cr6, sol=dme, n=2 (5), E=As, L=2,2,2-crypt, n=0 (6)), the monocations [(Cp'''Co)(μ,η:η:η-E)(μ-E)][FAl] (E=P (7), As (8)) and the dications [(Cp'''Co)(μ,η:η:η-E)][TEF] (E=P (9), As (10)) could be realized experimentally and isolated in moderate to good yields.

The formation of following the double ionization of small organic compounds via a roaming mechanism, which involves the generation of H and subsequent proton abstraction, has recently garnered significant attention. Nonetheless, a cohesive model explaining trends in the yield of characterizing these unimolecular reactions is yet to be established. We report yield and femtosecond time-resolved measurements following the strong-field double ionization of CHX molecules, where X = OD, Cl, NCS, CN, SCN, and I.

Distortions in the porphyrin core from planarity can trigger a unique structure-property relationship, imparting its basicity, chemical stability, redox potential, and excited-state energetics, among other properties. The colour change promoted by such distortion is signed by red shifts in its electronic absorption spectra. The adsorption of guest -substituted free-base porphyrin species onto inorganic hosts, such as clay minerals (layered aluminium or magnesium silicates), is known to further promote colour changes.

Seventeen electronic states of the dication VH were characterized by the SA-CASSCF/icMRCI methodology using very extended basis sets; 11 were described for the first time. Potential energy curves were constructed and the associated spectroscopic parameters evaluated. Triplet and quintet states correlating with the V + H channel are thermodynamic stable.
