The reaction of \(^{Me}\)CAAC with trimethylsilyl azide afforded the N-silylated 2-iminopyrrolidine (\(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\)), which was fully characterized. This compound undergoes hydrolysis to afford the 2-iminopyrrolidine and trimethylsiloxane which co-crystallize as a hydrogen-bonded adduct. The N-silylated 2-iminopyrrolidine was used to transfer the novel pyrrolidine-2-iminato ligand onto both main-group and transition-metal centers. The reaction of the tetrabromodiborane bis(dimethyl sulfide) adduct with two equivalents of \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\) afforded the disubstituted diborane. The reaction of \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NSiMe\(_{3}\) with TiCl\(_{4}\) and CpTiCl\(_{3}\) afforded \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NTiCl\(_{3}\) and \(^{Me}\)CAAC=NTiCl\(_{2}\)Cp, respectively.}, language = {en} } @article{GerlachMonningerSchleieretal.2021, author = {Gerlach, Marius and Monninger, Sophie and Schleier, Domenik and Hemberger, Patrick and Goettel, James T. and Braunschweig, Holger and Fischer, Ingo}, title = {Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence Spectroscopy of NCl\(_{3}\) and NCl\(_{2}\)}, series = {ChemPhysChem}, volume = {22}, journal = {ChemPhysChem}, number = {21}, doi = {10.1002/cphc.202100537}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-257322}, pages = {2164-2167}, year = {2021}, abstract = {We investigate NCl\(_{3}\) and the NCl\(_{2}\) radical by photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation.

An ionization energy of 9.7±0.1 eV is estimated from the spectrum and supported by computations. NCl2 is generated by photolysis at 213 nm from NCl\(_{3}\) and its ms-TPES shows an extended vibrational progression with a 90 meV spacing that is assigned to the symmetric N-Cl stretching mode in the cation. An adiabatic ionization energy of 9.94 ± 0.02 eV is determined.}, language = {en} }
