Abstract

Abstract: The novel nickel complex, LiA1H2 (THF),. C, oH8N2. Ni (2), which results from the interaction in a THF solution of (2, 2'-bipyridyl)(1, 5-cyclooctadiene) nickel (1) with LL41H4 in a 1: l molar ratio is a powerful desulfurizing agent in homogeneous solution for such aromatic sulfur heterocycles as dibenzothiophene (3), phenoxathiin (1 l), phenothiazine (12), and thianthrene (13). When employed in a 2: l molar ratio with the heterocyclic ...
