Abstract:
The synthesis and characterization of an (arsino)phosphaketene, As(PCO){[N(Dipp)](CH2 )}2 (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) is reported along with its subsequent reactivity with B(C6 F5 )3 . When reacted in a stoichiometric ratio, B(C6 F5 )3 drove the insertion of the P=C bond of the phosphaketene into one of the As-N bonds of the arsino functionality, affording an acid-stabilized, seven-membered, cyclic arsaphosphene. In contrast, when catalytic amounts of B(C6 F5 )3 were employed, dimeric species, which formed through a formal [2+2] cycloaddition of the cyclic arsaphosphene, were generated. The cyclic arsaphosphene product represents the first example of such a compound in which the two substituents are arranged in a cis-configuration.

01:19Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
