Ethylene/Polar Monomer Copolymerization Behavior of Bis(phenoxy–imine)Ti Complexes: Formation of Polar Monomer Copolymers

Bis(phenoxy-imine) Ti complexes bearing a phenyl group ortho to the phenoxy-O can mediate the copolymerization of ethylene and 5-hexene-1-yl-acetate though they are group 4 transition metal catalysts.

Tetra-n-butyl­ammonium bis­(1,2-dimercaptoethene-1,2-dicarbo­nitrilato-S,S′)­nickel(III)

The crystal structure of the title compound, (C(16)H(36)N)[Ni(C(4)N(2)S(2))(2)], shows stacking of the dimerized anions, surrounded by columns of cations.

One-dimensional double chain composed of carbamoylmethylthio-substituted TTF-based donor in ion radical salt

Carbamoylmethylthio-substituted TTF-based donors afforded inclusion-type salts with a BF4 counter ion or an F4-TCNQ acceptor. The crystal structures of these salts are characterized by a one-dimensional double chain composed of singly-oxidized donors via SOMO–SOMO interaction and side-by-side S⋯S contacts. Counter ions of BF4 are hydrogen-bonded to the amide groups. On the other hand, F4-TCNQ acceptors are stacked in a channel created by a stair-like arrangement of donor chains. The thermally activating magnetic susceptibility of the F4-TCNQ complex was interpreted in terms of a double-chain frustrated spin system.

Polyhedral building block with specific facial interaction for conducting supramolecular self-assembly

A novel dimeric donor with an edge-sliced tetrahedral shape was synthesized. This dimeric donor consists of two donor planes which are connected in a perpendicular orientation by four diselenatrimethylene chains, and can be regarded as a pre-organized building block for constructing a conductive supramolecular self-assembly containing log-stack type channels of a three-dimensional topology.
