Reactions of niobium-containing met-cars and titanium carbide clusters with acetone

3 Reactions of niobium-containing met-cars and titanium carbide clusters with acetone 

4 Reaction of Ti8Ci2+ and other met-cars with methyl iodide 

The only abstraction reaction of TigCi2 characterized to date occurs with methyl iodide and involves the breaking of the I-C bond to give the mono adduct TigCi2+I  

Oxidation-induced reactions of TigCii and other metal-carbide clusters 

TigCn seems to be inert to molecules, such as oxygen and methane, which have neither a permanent dipole moment nor a 7r-bonding systemJ Neutral metal-carbon species produced in a LAVA source, however, rearrange in the presence of oxygen to yield selectively and exclusively To better understand this
