ABSTRACT
We demonstrate that a time of flight (TOF) camera can be used to perform range selective temporal-heterodyne frequency-modulated continuous wave digital holography (TH FMCW DH). The modulated arrayed detection of a TOF camera allows efficient integration of holograms at a selected range with range resolutions significantly less than the optical system's depth of field. TH FMCW DH also allows for on-axis geometries to be achieved, where background light not at the internal modulation frequency of the camera is filtered out. Range selective TH FMCW DH imaging was achieved for both image holograms and Fresnel holograms using on-axis DH geometries. A 2.39 GHz FMCW chirp bandwidth resulted in a DH range resolution of 6.3 cm.
ABSTRACT
The oxidation of an acetonitrile ligand coordinated to ruthenium is explored in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide by 1H NMR spectroscopy. When oxidized with an iodosoarene oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reagent, kinetic studies demonstrate that the nitrile ligand does not dissociate before reacting. Instead, OAT to the central nitrile carbon is implicated (nitrile oxidation), and is further supported by the product of the reaction, N-acyl-dimethylsulfoximine. The N-acyl-dimethylsulfoximine likely formed by an imido group transfer reaction from ruthenium to the NMR solvent, and the product was synthesized independently to verify its identity in the reaction. This reaction represents the first time that a nitrile oxidation reaction has resulted in intermolecular imido group transfer to a substrate, presumably through a reactive ruthenium(IV)imido intermediate. This suggests that nitrile oxidation is a plausible route into reactive metal-imido intermediates for amination and aziridination reactions.
