Taming a Blue Gas—Structure and Chemistry of Hexafluorothioacetone
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 40, 28 September 2026.Hexafluorothioacetone (1), a blue gas at r.t., was synthesized by flash vacuum pyrolysis of its cyclic dimer at 660°C. We discuss fundamental properties of elusive 1, including single‐crystal structure and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, despite its tendency to dimerize even at –74°C.

Catalytic Sulfur‐Atom Transfer Enabled by a Bis(disulfide) Titanium Complex
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.Multi‐electron transformations with titanium are underexplored due to limited access to low‐valent precursors. The four‐electron activation of elemental sulfur by a Ti(IV) complex yields a rare titanium bis(disulfide) complex, enabling the efficient catalytic synthesis of isothiocyanates from isonitriles under mild conditions.
