(C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) reacted with trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Ar\(^F\))F] (iPr2Im=1,3-diisopropylimidazolin-2-ylidene; Ar\(^F\)=C\(_6\)F\(_5\), 1 a; 4-CF\(_3\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 b; 4-C\(_6\)F\(_5\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 c) through fluoride transfer to form the complex salts trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(solv)(Ar\(^F\))]FAP (2 a-c[solv]; solv=Et\(_2\)O, CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\), THF) depending on the reaction medium. In the presence of stronger Lewis bases such as carbenes or PPh\(_3\), solvent coordination was suppressed and the complexes trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(PPh\(_3\))(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (trans-2 a[PPh\(_3\)]) and cis-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Dipp\(_2\)Im)(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (cis-2 a[Dipp\(_2\)Im]) (Dipp\(_2\)Im=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) were isolated. Fluoride abstraction from [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)CuF] (3) in CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\) or 1,2-difluorobenzene led to the isolation of [{(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu}\(_2\)]\(^2\)\(^+\)2 FAP\(^-\) (4). Subsequent reaction of 4 with PPh\(_3\) and different carbenes resulted in the complexes [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(LB)]FAP (5 a-e, LB=Lewis base). In the presence of C6Me6, fluoride transfer afforded [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(C\(_6\)Me\(_6\))]FAP (5 f), which serves as a source of [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu)]\(^+\). Fluoride abstraction of [Cp\(_2\)TiF\(_2\)] (7) resulted in the formation of dinuclear [FCp\(_2\)Ti(μ-F)TiCp\(_2\)F]FAP (8) (Cp=η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\)) with one terminal fluoride ligand at each titanium atom and an additional bridging fluoride ligand.},

  abstract  = {Some Bravais lattices have a particular geometry that can slow down the motion of Bloch electrons by pre-localization due to the band-structure properties. Another known source of electronic localization in solids is the Coulomb repulsion in partially filled d or f orbitals, which leads to the formation of local magnetic moments. The combination of these two effects is usually considered of little relevance to strongly correlated materials. Here we show that it represents, instead, the underlying physical mechanism in two of the most important ferromagnets: nickel and iron. In nickel, the van Hove singularity has an unexpected impact on the magnetism. As a result, the electron-electron scattering rate is linear in temperature, in violation of the conventional Landau theory of metals. This is true even at Earth's core pressures, at which iron is instead a good Fermi liquid. The importance of nickel in models of geomagnetism may have therefore to be reconsidered.},

  abstract  = {Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of microanalytical methods with high spatial resolution to the characterization of the composition and corrosion behavior of two bracket systems. Material and methods: The surfaces of six nickel-free brackets and six nickel-containing brackets were examined for signs of corrosion and qualitative surface analysis using an electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), prior to bonding to patient's tooth surfaces and four months after clinical use. The surfaces were characterized qualitatively by secondary electron (SE) images and back scattered electron (BSE) images in both compositional and topographical mode. Qualitative and quantitative wavelength-dispersive analyses were performed for different elements, and by utilizing qualitative analysis the relative concentration of selected elements was mapped two-dimensionally. The absolute concentration of the elements was determined in specially prepared brackets by quantitative analysis using pure element standards for calibration and calculating correction-factors (ZAF). Results: Clear differences were observed between the different bracket types. The nickel-containing stainless steel brackets consist of two separate pieces joined by a brazing alloy. Compositional analysis revealed two different alloy compositions, and reaction zones on both sides of the brazing alloy. The nickel-free bracket was a single piece with only slight variation in element concentration, but had a significantly rougher surface. After clinical use, no corrosive phenomena were detectable with the methods applied. Traces of intraoral wear at the contact areas between the bracket slot and the arch wire were verified. Conclusion: Electron probe microanalysis is a valuable tool for the characterization of element distribution and quantitative analysis for corrosion studies.},

  abstract  = {A nickel/N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalytic system has been developed for the borylation of aryl sulfoxides with B\(_{2}\)(neop)\(_{2}\) (neop=neopentyl glycolato). A wide range of aryl sulfoxides with different electronic and steric properties were converted into the corresponding arylboronic esters in good yields. The regioselective borylation of unsymmetric diaryl sulfoxides was also feasible leading to borylation of the sterically less encumbered aryl substituent. Competition experiments demonstrated that an electron-deficient aryl moiety reacts preferentially. The origin of the selectivity in the Ni-catalyzed borylation of electronically biased unsymmetrical diaryl sulfoxide lies in the oxidative addition step of the catalytic cycle, as oxidative addition of methoxyphenyl 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfoxide to the Ni(0) complex occurs selectively to give the structurally characterized complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(4-CF\(_{3}\)-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)){(SO)-4-MeO-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{4}\)}] 4. For complex 5, the isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I was structurally characterized in which the phenyl sulfinyl ligand is bound via the oxygen atom to nickel. In solution, the complex trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(OSC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5-I is in equilibrium with the S-bonded isomer trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(SOC\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))] 5, as shown by NMR spectroscopy. DFT calculations reveal that these isomers are separated by a mere 0.3 kJ/mol (M06/def2-TZVP-level of theory) and connected via a transition state trans-[Ni(ICy)\(_{2}\)(C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))(η\(^{2}\)-{SO}-C\(_{6}\)H\(_{5}\))], which lies only 10.8 kcal/mol above 5.},

  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der C-F Bindungsaktivierung von teil und perfluorierten Aromaten an NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexen, sowohl in st{\"o}chiometrischen als auch in katalytischen Reaktionen. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit lag auf der Aufkl{\"a}rung der Mechanismen der C-F Bindungsaktivierungsschritte von teil und perfluorierten Aromaten an ein und zweifach NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexen, auf dem Einsatz dieser Komplexe in katalytischen Kreuzkupplungs- und Borylierungsreaktionen sowie in der Aufkl{\"a}rung der Mechanismen solcher katalytischen Prozesse. Die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erzielten Ergebnisse belegen wesentliche Unterschiede im Reaktionsverhalten von Nickel Komplexen in der C-F Bindungsaktivierung: Die Reaktionsmechanismen der mit zwei sterisch unterschiedlich anspruchsvollen NHC Liganden stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplexe [Ni(iPr2Im)2] (1a) und [Ni(Mes2Im)2] (5) weisen deutliche Unterschiede auf. So erfolgt die Insertion von [Ni(iPr2Im)2] (1a), dem Komplex mit dem weniger anspruchsvolleren Carbenliganden iPr2Im, in die C-F-Bindung von C6F6 nach einem konzertierten und/oder NHC assistierten Reaktionsmechanismus, wohingegen der Nickel(0) Komplex 5 nach einem radikalischen und/oder NHC assistierten Reaktionsmechanismus insertiert. Die Experimente am einfach NHC stabilisierten Nickel(0) Komplex [Ni(Dipp2Im)(η6 C7H8)] 6 belegen, dass die C-F Bindungsaktivierung zun{\"a}chst zu reaktiven mononuklearen Komplexen [Ni(Dipp2Im)(F)(ArF)] f{\"u}hrt, die jedoch allm{\"a}hlich zu dinuklearen, Fluorido verbr{\"u}ckten Nickel(II) Komplexen dimerisieren, die katalytisch nicht aktiv sind. Erst die Aufspaltung dieser Dimere in mononukleare Komplexe mit terminalen Fluoridoliganden f{\"u}hrt zur katalytischen Aktivit{\"a}t. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass 5 und 6 vergleichbar gute Katalysatoren in der Nickel vermittelten C-F Borylierung sind und der kritische Schritt der Katalyse die Bereitstellung eines katalytisch aktiven, dreifach koordinierten Nickel Komplexes der Form [Ni(NHC)(F)(ArF)] ist.},
