FLUOROSULFANYLIMINATIONINCLUDING RELATED REACTIONS ANDSTRUCTURAL PROBLEMS AND THIAZYLTRIFLUORIDE COI1PLEXES OF THETRANSrrION METALS by Abraham Shanzer Dissertation Subnitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the dec7ee of DOCTOROF PHILOSOPHY in Chemistry APPROVED, Dr. A. F. Clifford, otfo.1/.rman:-- Dr. R. E. Dessy Dr. M. Hudlicky Dr. H. H. McNair Dr. T. c. Ward December, 1976 Blacksburg, Virginia ACKNOWLEDGENENTS I wish to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to Dr. Alan F. Clifford for the opportunity of working on very stimulating problems and for his invaluable guidance, advice and encouragement throughout the course of this study. His perceptive sugeestions and constructive criticisms are greatly appreciated. To Dr. J. C. Schug and my colleague Dana Brewer, I am deeply indebted for their immense patience in performing the molecular orbital calculations and the physical interpretation of the results. Deep appreciation is extended to Dr. R. E. Dessy, Dr. M. Hudlicky, Dr. H. M. McNair and Dr. G. Sanzone for their constant guidance and interest. I am most grateful for the many hours they so kindly spent in stimulating and constructive discussions. I would like to thank most sincerely Victoria Kok, who has given invaluable help with proofreading the thesis in all its stages of preparation. Ny profound gratitude is to my parents, Jacob and Hella Shanzer and to a very special friend, for their continuous encouragement and for providing the motivation to seek a little higher. To them I dedicate this thesis much much love. ii TABLEOF CONTENTS Page ii ACKNOWLI!.'DG}1ENTS• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • LIST OF TABLES • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • , • • • • vii LIST OF FIGURES • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • viii INTRODUCTION • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1 Unique Properties of Pentafluorosulfanyl Group • • • • • • • 6 Classification of SFc;-Nitrogen Compounds •••••••••• 8 a.
