description: Background: A growing number of studies observe associations between the amount of green space around a mother’s home and positive birth outcomes; however, the robustness of this association and potential pathways of action remain unclear. Objectives: To examine associations between mother’s residential green space and term birth weight within the Canadian Healthy Infant Longitudinal Development (CHILD) study and examine specific hypothesized pathways. Methods: We examined 2510 births located in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Toronto Canada. Green space was estimated around mother’s residences during pregnancy using Landsat 30 m normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). We examined hypothesized pathways of: (1) reduction of environmental exposure; (2) built environment features promoting physical activity; (3) psychosocial conditions; and (4) psychological influences. Linear regression was used to assess associations between green space and term birth weight adjusting first for a comprehensive set of confounding factors and then incrementally for pathway variables. Results: Fully adjusted models showed non-statistically significant increases in term birth weight with increasing green space. For example, a 0.1 increase in NDVI within 500 m was associated with a 21.5 g (95% CI − 4.6, 47.7) increase in term birth weight. Associations varied by city and were most robust for high-density locations. For the two largest cities (Vancouver and Toronto), we observed an increase in birth weight of 41.2 g (95% CI 7.8, 74.6) for a 0.1 increase in NDVI within 500 m. We did not observe substantial reductions in the green space effect on birth weight when adjusting for pathway variables. Conclusion: Our results highlight the need to further characterize the interactions between green space, urban density and climate related factors as well as the pathways linking residential green space to birth outcomes.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This dissertation is concerned with speech enhancement based on the statistical and loudness models. We will study the field of speech enhancement with the objective of improving the quality of speech signals in noisy environments. First, speech enhancement based on the Laplacian model for speech signais is reviewed. The performance is shown to be limited by the accuracy of the Laplacian parameter estimation in the noisy environment. A recursive version is proposed to estimate the Laplacian model parameters using the enhanced speech and then use these estimated parameters to re-enhance the original noisy speech again. This approach achieves better parameter estimation and hence further improvements of speech quality. Next, loudness models for speech are reviewed. Considering that it describes the human hearing system better than the spectrum, the fundamental approaches of spectral subtraction are extended to the loudness domain. We propose the loudness subtraction approach. The tests are done for subtraction with different a values in the loudness model. Simulations show that the quality of enhanced speech can be optimized by choosing the appropriate a for a given input SNR. Thus, an adaptive-a subtraction model is proposed. The simulations show it can further improve the performance of spectral subtraction. Then, the proposed loudness subtraction with fixed a is shown to provide better results overall than the classical spectral subtraction, even though noise residue and unpleasant artifacts are still high in the enhanced signal. Loudness over-subtraction is then proposed to further reduce these artifacts/noise. Extensive simulation studies are conducted showing clear improvement over other subtraction type approaches. Finally, we proposed a Maximum Likelihood-based (ML) speech enhancement algorithm in the loudness domain. It is an optimal speech enhancement algorithm based on the ML criteria in the loudness domain, given the loudness of the noisy speech and the noise estimate. The Laplacian model and the Gaussian model of speech are used separately for comparison. Both approaches shows significant improvement of quality. It is shown that the Laplacian model leads to better preservation of the speech and the Gaussian model leads to better noise reduction.
Informal urban citizenship in the multicultural city: Literary representations of second-generation youth in Toronto and London
Creators: name: Tavares, David
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Geography.

description: This thesis studies the representation of second-generation characters (i.e. the children of immigrants) in three recent novels: What We All Long For (2005) by Dionne Brand (set in Toronto), Tourism (2006) by Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal and Londonstani (2006) by Gautam Malkani (both set in London, UK). The analysis of these novels focuses on the textual relationships established between the experience of everyday urban spaces and the production of identity among the characters. The politics that emerge from the spatial negotiation of identity depicted in the novels is taken as a point of departure for considering how the novels represent 'informal urban citizenship' among second generations in multicultural Toronto and London. The relevance of the representations identified is considered in terms of how they contribute to current scholarly debates on the politics of cultural pluralism in Canada and the UK. In this way the politics of identity in urban space are vertically connected to those surrounding diversity and difference at the national scale. Further justification for the study is offered on the basis that literary representations can contribute to the constitution of powerful socio-geographical imaginaries surrounding second generations in the multicultural city. In terms of its contributions, the thesis builds on several bodies of contemporary scholarship. First, it contributes a new thematic dimension (centred on the representation of second generations) and theoretical dimension (centred on the concept of informal urban citizenship) to recent geographical scholarship on the politics of space and identity associated with literary representations. Second, it advances the theorization of literature as an object of study for geographers. Third, it adds the perspective of representational analysis to a growing body of scholarship on the spatial dimensions of informal urban citizenship among communities of recent immigrant origin. Fourth, and finally, it furthers a geographical perspective on the politics of cultural pluralism in Canada and the UK discussed in a large, interdisciplinary body of literature.

description: The wine industry is a multi-billion product value category worldwide with a significant part being sales through hospitality service providers. Although wine sales add considerably to the profitability of many restaurants, hotels, bars and other hospitality establishments, few studies have been conducted into wine purchasing behaviour within hospitality settings. This study identifies the factors that influence consumers to purchase wine and attempts to demonstrate how the basic demographic characteristic of age is a useful variable for segmentation purposes. The study reveals that there are six dominant factors that influence wine purchasing behaviour and that significant differences in purchase motivation exist between three age segments, 18 to 25 years, 26 to 34 years and 34+years. The results of this research have significant implications for hospitality operators who, with a basic knowledge of the demographic characteristics of their guests, can develop marketing strategies to maximise the sale of wine and wine products.

description: The Nash equilibrium is one of the most central solution concepts to study strategic interactions between multiple players and has recently also been shown to capture sensorimotor interactions between players that are haptically coupled. While previous studies in behavioral economics have shown that systematic deviations from Nash equilibria in economic decision-making can be explained by the more general quantal response equilibria, such deviations have not been reported for the sensorimotor domain. Here we investigate haptically coupled dyads across three different sensorimotor games corresponding to the classic symmetric and asymmetric prisoner’s dilemma, where the quantal response equilibrium predicts characteristic shifts across the three games, although the Nash equilibrium stays the same. We find that subjects exhibit the predicted deviations from the Nash solution. Furthermore, we show that taking into account subjects’ priors for the games, we arrive at a more accurate description of bounded rational response equilibria that can be regarded as a quantal response equilibrium with non-uniform prior. Our results suggest that bounded rational response equilibria provide a general tool to explain sensorimotor interactions that include the Nash equilibrium as a special case in the absence of information processing limitations.

description: We present MUSE observations of the field of the quasar Q0152-020, whose spectrum shows a Lyman limit system (LLS) at redshift z(abs) = 0.38, with a metallicity Z greater than or similar to 0.06 Z(circle dot). The low-ionization metal lines associated with the LLS present two narrow distinct absorption components with a velocity separation of 26 km s(-1). We detect six galaxies within 600 km s(-1) from the absorption redshift; their projected distances from the quasar sightline range from 60 to 200 kpc. The optical spectra of five of these galaxies exhibit prominent nebular emission lines, from which we deduce extinction-corrected star formation rates in the range SFR = 0.06-1.3 M-circle dot yr(-1), and metallicities between 0.2 Z(circle dot) and Z(circle dot). The sixth galaxy is only detected in the stellar continuum. By combining our data with archival Keck/HIRES spectroscopy of the quasar and Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 imaging of the field, we can relate absorption line and galaxy kinematics; we conclude that the LLS is most likely associated with the galaxy closest to the quasar sightline (galaxy 'a'). Our morphokinematic analysis of galaxy 'a' combined with the absorption line kinematics supports the interpretation that one of the absorption components originates from an extension of the stellar disk of galaxy 'a', while the other component may arise in accreting gas in a warped disk with specific angular momentum similar to 3 times larger than the specific angular momentum of the galaxy halo. Such warped disks are common features in hydrodynamical simulations of cold-flow accretion on to galaxies; the data presented here provide observational evidence in favour of this scenario.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

Se presenta el caso de una mujer con antecedentes de Trastorno Bipolar inducido por corticoides con características maniacas. El objetivo es mostrar la asociación de este fármaco con trastornos neuropsiquiátricos, siendo este caso de especial interés por la aparición a dosis bajas y el antecedente de otro episodio.

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CASO:

Mujer de 49 años ingresada involuntariamente en UHB a través del servicio de Urgencias por episodios de agresividad y agitación. Cuadro de un mes de evolución de irritabilidad, disminución del sueño e ideas delirantes de perjuicio y autorreferenciales. Su marido relaciona el inicio del cuadro con la vuelta de un viaje de trabajo, cuando presentó un cuadro catarral, siendo tratada con un nebulizador nasal (con corticoide como principio activo).

EXPLORACIÓN Y PRUEBAS COMPLEMENTARIAS:

-EPP: Consciente, desorientada parcialmente en tiempo, bien orientada en espacio y persona. Abordable. Moderadamente colaboradora. Discurso desorganizado, limitado a preguntas, respuestas tangenciales. Hipertímica. Disfórica e irritable. No ideación autolítica. Ideas delirantes de perjuicio y autorreferenciales. No auto ni heteroagresividad. Nula conciencia de enfermedad. Sueño disminuido.

-TAC craneal: no hallazgos significativos. Sin alteraciones respecto al previo (2017).

-Analítica: no hallazgos significativos

DIAGNÓSTICO DIFERENCIAL Y TRATAMIENTO:

Se establece diagnóstico de Trastorno del estado del ánimo con síntomas maniacos. Como primer paso se retiran los corticoides intranasales. Se inicia tratamiento con Olanzapina 15 mg/24 horas y Valproato 500mg/12 horas, con mejoría del cuadro.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES:

Efectos neuropsiquiátricos son reconocidos efectos secundarios del uso de corticoides. A corto plazo, el más frecuente es la manía/hipomanía; mientras que un tratamiento a largo plazo se relaciona más con síntomas depresivos. Pueden ocurrir hasta en un 60% de los casos, observándose una relación dosis-respuesta. Sin embargo, dosis bajas (corticoide nasal) puede provocar esta afección.

La recuperación completa ocurre en más del 90%, siendo un pequeño porcentaje recurrente o permanente.

Además, el haber presentado un cuadro neuropsiquiátrico inducido por corticoides, se asocia con un aumento de la recurrencia. Se puede plantear contraindicación de los corticoides o, si es posible, profilaxis con un antipsicótico de segunda generación.

title: Extreme Event Reconstructions for the Upper Fraser River Basin, British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Homfeld, Inga
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Spring freshets and summer droughts have recently worsened in the Fraser River Basin, British Columbia, Canada, with significant impacts to the keystone Pacific salmon populations, the food and economic sovereignty of over eighty First Nations, and the western Canadian economy. These extreme events present a potential risk since, unlike many large and less hydroclimatically-complex and/or empounded watersheds, the Fraser River Basin is susceptible to a combination of unregulated spring freshet and summer drought events even within the same year. A major limitation for understanding past and future extreme event risk in the Fraser River Basin is that observational streamflow datasets are both short in duration and potentially forced by anthropogenic warming. They therefore provide a potentially incomplete record of natural hydrological variability and inaccurate benchmarks of long-term natural runoff extremes. While longer-term, highly-resolved (annual), tree ring (TR) based paleohydrological reconstructions are increasingly being used worldwide by water managers and stakeholders to extend short observational streamflow records, this approach is difficult in complex temperate watersheds like the Fraser. For this study I developed the first multi-century, sub-annual resolution (seasonal), paired freshet and drought reconstructions within a single watershed. I targeted the Upper Fraser Basin since it represents the headwaters and primary runoff source of the greater Fraser Basin. By focusing on sub-annual streamflow seasons, I was able to both independently reconstruct seasonal extreme flow events, and also overcome methodological limitations that precluded prior attempts to reconstruct total water-year runoff in this watershed. Newly developed and existing TR chronologies from multiple species were used as proxies for seasonal temperature and cool-season precipitation which are, in turn, drivers of streamflow in each reconstruction season. I analyzed the magnitudes, durations, and statistical probabilities of high freshets and droughts over the past 140 years. My results suggest that the instrumental records do not accurately reflect the full variability of high freshet events or drought events as both duration and magnitudes of past events are higher than any during the observed time period. There is also a change in the frequency of high freshet events towards more frequent occurrences since 1950 AD. The new extreme event reconstructions presented here provide paleoenvironmental benchmarks that can be used by water managers and stakeholders to significantly change and improve water management-relevant statistical analyses such as frequency analysis and return periods calculation, and adapt to future freshets and droughts on the Fraser River under climate change.

description: The European Joint Programme HBM4EU coordinated and advanced human biomonitoring (HBM) in Europe in order to provide science-based evidence for chemical policy development and improve chemical management. Arsenic (As) was selected as a priority substance under the HBM4EU initiative for which open, policy relevant questions like the status of exposure had to be answered. Internal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs), measured as Toxic Relevant Arsenic (TRA) (the sum of As(III), As(V), MMA, DMA) in urine samples of teenagers differed among the sampling sites (BEA (Spain) > Riksmaten adolescents (Sweden), ESTEBAN (France) > FLEHS IV (Belgium), SLO CRP (Slovenia)) with geometric means between 3.84 and 8.47 mikrog/L. The ratio TRA to TRA + arsenobetaine or the ratio TRA to total arsenic varied between 0.22 and 0.49. Main exposure determinants for TRA were the consumption of rice and seafood. When all studies were combined, Pearson correlation analysis showed significant associations between all considered As species. Higher concentrations of DMA, quantitatively a major constituent of TRA, were found with increasing arsenobetaine concentrations, a marker for organic As intake, e.g. through seafood, indicating that other sources of DMA than metabolism of inorganic As exist, e.g. direct intake of DMA or via the intake of arsenosugars or -lipids. Given the lower toxicity of DMA(V) versus iAs, estimating the amount of DMA not originating from iAs, or normalizing TRA for arsenobetaine intake could be useful for estimating iAs exposure and risk. Comparing urinary TRA concentrations with formerly derived biomonitoring equivalent (BE) for non-carcinogenic effects (6.4 mikrog/L) clearly shows that all 95th percentile exposure values in the different studies exceeded this BE. This together with the fact that cancer risk may not be excluded even at lower iAs levels, suggests a possible health concern for the general population of Europe. © 2023 The Authors

A high-pressure study of the heavy alkaline earth hydrides
Creators: name: Smith, Jesse S
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Physics, Low Temperature.

description: The heavy alkaline earth hydrides consist of the Group II (alkaline earth metal) hydrides, namely CaH2, SrH2, and BaH2, which adopt the cotunnite-type structure at ambient pressure and temperature conditions. There has been much recent research interest in these compounds; in the past decade numerous experimental and theoretical studies exploring the hydrides in both applied and fundamental respects have been added to the literature. The present work constitutes a study of the heavy alkaline earth hydrides subjected to extreme pressure conditions (at ambient temperature). Specifically, pressure-dependent angle-dispersive powder x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy experiments, as well as first-principles calculations, have been carried out to explore the structural stability, compressibility, and optical phonon spectra of the heavy alkaline earth hydrides. To complement the work on the hydrides, a companion study on BaF2---a structural analogue---is presented, as well as a description of some selected experimental techniques used to carry out the research. The powder x-ray diffraction results reveal that all of the heavy alkaline earth hydrides undergo a pressure-induced, first-order structural phase transition. The proposed Ni2ln structure for the high-pressure phase is based on both the results of first-principles calculations and an isostructural comparison with BaF2. The transition pressures and the proposed high-pressure structure are corroborated by the results of the Raman spectroscopy measurements. Where applicable, equation of state parameters from both the experimental and theoretical studios are reported, and a comparison of these respective parameters at ultra-high pressures (greater than 50 GPa) suggests that the experimentally observed bulk moduli are overestimated due to the presence of non-hydrostatic pressure conditions.
Electrodeposition of bilayers of dithiols: A new route to complex organic interfaces
Creators: name: Rifai, Sandra
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Chemistry, Physical.

description: Organized organic films form a new class of nanomaterials, having potential applications in biosensing and molecular electronics. The development of such devices is impeded by the lack of simple and reliable methods for depositing molecular assemblies. An original electrodeposition scheme that allows for the formation of functionalized organic monolayers has been developed. With this method, it is possible to create organic interfaces that can be made to selectively react through application of an electric field. This electrochemical approach has been used to form reproducible monolayers and bilayers of aromatic and alkyl dithiols. The mechanism guiding the adsorption of dithiols at the gold surface (from basic aqueous electrolyte solution) proceeds in two steps. First, a monolayer of vertically oriented dithiols (i.e. attached with a single S-Au bond) is formed via a nucleation and growth process. Next, the unreacted sulfur end groups dimerize with dithiolates in solution to form a bilayer. More specifically, bilayer formation occurs through the nucleophilic attack of an activated thiolate end group by a dithiolate from solution and follows a Langmuir process. The extent of bilayer formation depends on the accessibility of the unbound thiolate and its distance from the electrode surface. The interaction between the negatively charged thiolate and the aqueous electrolyte plays a major role in the assembly of these compounds. In addition, intermolecular interactions are influential in the packing of rigid (i.e. aromatic) and flexible (i.e. alkyl) dithiol films.

description: Aim: Individuals experience differential risks in their initiation into drug injecting based on their gender. Data suggest women are more likely to be injected after their initiator and to share injection equipment. Little is known, however, regarding how gender influences the risk that people who inject drugs (PWID) may assist others into injection initiation. We therefore sought to investigate the role of “initiator” gender in the provision of injection initiation assistance across multiple settings. Methods: We employed data from PReventing Injecting by Modifying Existing Responses (PRIMER), a multi-cohort study investigating factors influencing injection initiation assistance provision. Data were drawn from three cohort studies of PWID in San Diego, USA (STAHR II); Tijuana, Mexico (El Cuete IV); and Vancouver, Canada (VDUS). Site-specific logistic regression models were fit, with lifetime provision of injection initiation assistance as the outcome and gender as the independent variable. Results: Overall, 3.2% (24/746) of the women and 4.6% (63/1367) of the men reported providing injection initiation assistance. In Tijuana, men were more than twice as likely to have provided injection initiation assistance after controlling for potential confounders (adjusted odds ratio = 2.17, 95% confidence interval: 1.22–3.84). Gender was not significantly associated with providing injection initiation assistance in other sites. Conclusion: We identified that being male in Tijuana, specifically, was associated with providing injection initiation assistance, which could inform targeted outreach aimed at reducing the influence of PWID populations on non-injectors in this site. This will likely require that existing interventions address gender- and site-specific factors for effectiveness.
LEVERAGING THE HILL RESTRICTED FOUR-BODY MODEL TO INVESTIGATE THE EARTH-MOON L1/L2 REGION

description: The Earth-Moon L1, L2 halo orbit families support a variety of options for lunar surface activities as well as other developments in the cislunar region. The planned operational orbit for NASA's Gateway facility is the 9:2 L2 synodic resonant halo orbit. Furthermore, orbits from this family could serve as staging locations for future missions to near-Earth asteroids and Mars, hubs for servicing logistics, and nodes for sensor networks. Therefore, it is essential to understand the dynamics that govern the halo orbit regions. Previously, a sub-region in the L2 halo family of the Earth-Moon system, termed the ``Interface Region'' was identified to be particularly challenging when transitioning the solutions from this L2 halo family sub-region to the Higher-Fidelity Ephemeris model (HFEM). Recent research suggests that the intermediate models incorporating pulsation in the Earth-Moon motion offer more insight into the dynamics governing this general underlying flow. This investigation aims to characterize the interface region by understanding the dynamical structures via the Hill Restricted Four-Body Problem (HR4BP). The HR4BP accommodates for pulsation in the Earth-Moon motion as well as the net solar gravity, two significant sources of perturbations in cislunar space. However, the Earth-Moon distance variations and the lunar inclination are not fully captured via the HR4BP model. To address the limitations of the HR4BP, two coherent quasi-periodically perturbed models are introduced: the In-Plane Quasi-Hill Restricted Four-Body Problem (I-QHR4BP), that captures realistic Earth-Moon eccentricity variations, and the Out-of-Plane Quasi-Hill Restricted Four-Body Problem (O-QHR4BP), that accommodates the lunar inclination variations. These models altogether incorporate the top three dominant perturbing frequencies for the realistic Earth-Moon motion. A Unified Transition Scheme (UTS) is proposed to systematically connect various dynamical models in cislunar space. The UTS enables the decomposition of complex HFEM behaviors into intuitive dynamical patterns using lower-fidelity models, facilitating a robust transition between the CR3BP and HFEM. This framework is demonstrated in a Lunar Free-Return Trajectory (LFRT), effectively capturing key dynamical features across models. Furthermore, an HFEM transition scheme is developed within the UTS to transition trajectories from the HR4BP. These advancements provide a unified numerical formulation to examine complex solution behaviors across multiple dynamical regimes, enhancing mission design capabilities for cislunar space.

description: The worldwide plasticizer markets are facing constant substitution processes. Many classic ortho-phthalate plasticizers like di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) are phased out, due to their proven toxicity to reproduction. Assumedly less critical, less regulated plasticizers such as di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHTP) are increasingly applied in consumer near products like toys, food contact materials, and medical devices. With the increasing use of DEHTP, increasing exposures of the general population have to be expected likewise. Human biomonitoring is a well-established tool to determine population exposures. In the present study we investigate the time trend of exposure to DEHTP using 24-hour urine samples of the German Environmental Specimen Bank (ESB) collected from 1999 to 2017. In these samples (60 per odd-numbered year, 600 samples in total) collected from young German adults (20-29 years, equal gender distribution) we determined four specific urinary metabolites as biomarkers of DEHTP exposure. From 1999 to 2009, the main specific urinary metabolite 5cx-MEPTP was quantifiable in <10% of the samples. Thereafter, detection rates and levels constantly increased, in line with rapidly increasing DEHTP consumption volumes. In 2017, all samples had 5cx-MEPTP levels above the limit of quantification (LOQ) with a median concentration of 3.35 ng/L (95th percentile: 12.8 ng/L). The other metabolites were detected less frequently and at lower levels but correlated well with 5cx-MEPTP robustly confirming the increasing DEHTP exposure. All 5cx-MEPTP concentrations were well below the German health based guidance value (HBM-I) of 2800 ng/L for adults. Likewise, the median calculated daily intake, based on 5cx-MEPTP measured in 2017, was 0.74 ng/kg bw*d (95th percentile: 3.86 ng/kg bw*d), still well below the tolerable daily intake (TDI) of 1000 ng/kg bw*d. Based on current toxicological knowledge we can hence conclude that for the population investigated, DEHTP exposure gives no reason for immediate concern. However, the steep ongoing increase of DEHTP exposure warrants further close monitoring in the future, preferably also in sub-populations with known higher exposures to plasticizers, especially children. © 2019 The Authors.

description: In this study, operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements were carried out on a newly developed O2 bi-functional gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for rechargeable Zn-air batteries, consisting of a mixture of α-MnO2 and carbon black. The architecture and composition of the GDE, as well as the electrochemical cell, were designed to achieve optimum edge-jumps and signal-to-noise ratio in the absorption spectra for the Mn K-edge at current densities that are relevant for practical conditions. Herein, we reported the chemical changes that occur on the MnO2 component when the GDE is tested under normal operating conditions, during both battery discharge (ORR) and charge (OER), on the background of more critical conditions that simulate oxygen starvation in a flooded electrode.

description: One common problem of frequency modulated continuous wave radar is leakage from the transmitter to the receiver. The leakage power is orders of magnitude larger than the target return power and appears as a very strong signal in the first few range bins. Additionally, the residual phase noise density of the local oscillator occurs around the leakage signal, which often raises the noise floor and limits the dynamic range of a radar system at the close proximity of the sensor. In this paper a novel system concept that cancels the phase noise around the dominating leakage path is proposed, mathematically derived, and proven by radar measurements with a radar demonstrator at 77 GHz.

description: A facile one‐pot gram‐scale synthesis of tetraalkylammonium tetrafluoridochlorate(III) [cat][ClF4] ([cat]=[NEt3Me]+, [NEt4]+) is described. An acetonitrile solution of the corresponding alkylammonium chloride salt is fluorinated with diluted fluorine at low temperatures. The reaction proceeds via the [ClF2]− anion which is structurally characterized for the first time. The potential application of [ClF4]− salts as fluorinating agents is evaluated by the reaction with diphenyl disulfide, Ph2S2, to pentafluorosulfanyl benzene, PhSF5. The CN moieties in acetonitrile and [B(CN)4]− are transferred in CF3 groups. Exposure of carbon monoxide, CO, leads to the formation of carbonyl fluoride, COF2, and elemental gold is dissolved under the formation of tetrafluoridoaurate [AuF4]−.
