People are one of the biggest risks to businesses. From health and wellbeing to unethical behaviour and more. In this episode I talk about the top 10 risks identified from a Mercer report to the UK and slightly differently, globally. I'll be talking over a further 10 episodes about these specifically. This relates to so much of my thinking and some of my recent work. M&As will be on the horizon, businesses have been relaunched, but these are the risks to manage and the opportunities for the future. If you'd like to be a guest on the show to discuss any of these 10 points, please get in touch. I'll be kicking off next week with the first. Thanks for tuning in! Please remember to leave me a lovely review and some feedback plus, remember to subscribe to get the next episode directly to your app!

O2 and Virgin have almost 40 million customers between them, so it will be a huge challenge to bring their records into one platform. Of course M&As have become increasingly common in the telco industry in recent years, and tongues continue to wag about potential activity involving both BT and Nokia over the next few months. Data solutions provider Sagacity work with leading telcos, so I invited Harry Dougall, CFO and founding partner at on the podcast to discuss the typical challenges companies face when merging. We explore some of the mammoth data tasks that could make or break M&As, such as joining all the data together in a unified format. A merger of this scale often takes years, especially if customer information is spread across siloed departments. We talk about the importance of checking for accuracy and records that need to be merged (if somebody was a customer of both organizations). We also discuss how making decisions about which packages are appropriate for which type of customer, where they could be cross-selling services, and identify the most valuable customers to focus on retaining them.

Dans Le Coin des Confidences, on dit tout à VERO au Boudu fil ! Chaque semaine, un artiste parle de son projet musical et dévoile sa playlist perso. Cette semaine : Gabrielle du solo Ma Soeur pages Artistes : https://www.radiolocalitiz.fr/ma-soeur/ Chanson et Poésie Gabrielle Gonin : Contrebasse, voix. Elle s'est mêlée à mes cheveux. Longtemps avant de naître elle était déjà là, à m'attendre, à me regarder vivre, à me prêter son aile où je m'appuie tout doucement... Elle me pousse, elle me tire, et me chuchote à l'oreille les mots que je vais vous dire : "Laisse toi faire, la route est longue, ici hier, demain le monde. L'eau de la mer est si profonde, ouvre ton cœur à la terre gironde. » « Ma Sœur » est un solo porté par une contrebasse et une voix. Tantôt jouée à l'archet, tantôt aux doigts, la contrebasse embrasse avec force et délicatesse une voix puissante et simple. La musicienne nous emmène dans un tourbillon rythmique aux sons graves, un groove souple aux textures inattendues, multiples. Parfois, accompagnée de quelques objets sonores, Ma Sœur s'allège jusqu'à la nudité. Elle aime la musique des mots. Son chant fait naître en nous des images. Celles d'histoires intimes et collectives, de personnages intemporels. Ses mots ouvrent de grands espaces, nous rappellent à nos paysages intérieurs. Nous sommes assis là, et nous voyageons, immobiles, embarqués dans une danse intime et singulière.

Listen on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms. Scot Chisholm is one of the original founders of Classy, the highly successful San Diego social enterprise named after none other than “Anchorman”. Classy helps nonprofit organizations maximize their fundraising through its online tools targeted at a younger generation. So far, Classy has helped nonprofits raise $3 billion dollars in the last 10 years, and the company doesn’t anticipate slowing down anytime soon. Classy was founded in 2011 after founders hosted a pub crawl to raise money for cancer research. Originally called Stay Classy, the company was mission-driven, focused on helping nonprofits raise funds in a rather unique way. When Scot had originally visited the Tacos and Tech podcast back in 2018, the company was unknowingly in turmoil with a private equity firm. This was just the beginning of a long battle to separate the firm from Classy. Scot explained how hard it originally was to raise funds. For some reason, firms didn’t want to touch Classy. The majority of the startup’s investors were angels, but later larger venture capital firms like Salesforce Ventures and Hinge Capital bought in. For a young, growing company, the private equity firm was not the right match. This resulted in the team buying out these Series C investors and bringing the partnership to an end. At this point, Scot and the team could have given up, and sold the business entirely. Instead, they proved that it was a phenomenal business, raising money through insider investments to prevent selling. Shortly after, the team shifted from shareholder to stakeholder primacy, a model that elevates metrics other than revenue up to the board. Metrics utilized include the Net Promoter Score, Employee Net Promoter Score (Classy boasts over a 50), and Benefit Score. To become a certified benefit corporation, a company must receive a score over 80 - Classy sits at 115 for its focus on social and environmental impact. Going into 2020, the team was feeling great, but the world stopped in March and donations ceased with it, thanks to the pandemic. However, the lull was short-lived as giving came back in a big way, with citizens of all income backgrounds giving to food banks, hospitals, and others who were particularly hit by the pandemic. With the turn of the social justice movement, Classy saw new donors who had never participated in donations prior. Nonprofits who were not directly in line with COVID relief that traditionally focused on in-person events - opera houses, symphonies, ballet - had their revenue streams reduced to close to nothing. They were forced to pivot to online fundraising, taking part in what Scot calls ‘the Zoom effect of the fundraising world’. Before 2020, only 10% of giving was online, but the number has grown tremendously in recent months. Classy is in the business of helping nonprofits raise funds. When organizations win, so does the team. With a modernized platform appealing to millennials, the company has been able to raise a whopping $3 billion for causes across the globe. Classy has also been raising funds - the company recently closed a Series D for $118 million. Scot recently stepped down from his CEO role, putting Chris Himes, who has both nonprofit and for-profit experience at the helm. As an executive chair member, Scot will be working on company expansion, particularly with M&As. Pulling ideas from Atlassian’s M&A strategy, Scot plans to look at all of the friction points in Classy’ clients’ workflow to seek out the next opportunity. Listen in to hear about how Classy defied all odds, coming out as one of San Diego’s most well-known social enterprises.

Yael Cabilly is the Co-founder of Fortunet, a boutique investment banking firm that specializes in the sales of e-commerce businesses. As a leading e-commerce attorney, Yael also owns the law firm Cabilly & Co. She and her team represent thousands of Amazon sellers in all legal issues, including listing and account suspensions, intellectual property enforcement, e-commerce transactions, and IP registration. Michal Baumwald Oron is the CEO and Co-founder of Fortunet. With over 23 years of experience as a lawyer and manager, Michal has held senior positions in international leading companies and brands such as VP Business Development and General Counsel. She has also led various projects in both the US and Israel, including M&As, joint ventures, and public offerings. In this episode… How do private label sellers on Amazon go about selling their businesses? What resources and tools do they need in order to prepare their business for a sale? And, once they are ready to find a buyer, how do they choose between an FBA broker and an investment banking firm? Selling a business requires a thorough analysis of its value, competitors, and the story that differentiates it from the rest—so sellers need an expert that is not only a great broker, but also an effective analyst and advisor. According to Yael Cabilly and Michal Baumwald Oron, this is where investment banking firms come in. E-commerce investment bankers, such as the ones at Fortunet, provide valuable services for private label sellers, including business analysis, price negotiation, and the facilitation of the sale. With this help, sellers can remain confident that their sale will be a success. In this episode of the Buy Box Experts podcast, host James Thomson interviews Yael Cabilly and Michal Baumwald Oron, the Co-founders of Fortunet, about the valuable role of investment bankers in the sale of an FBA private label business. Yael and Michal talk about the increased popularity of FBA businesses and their advice to private label sellers on how to successfully make a sale. They also discuss their projections for the future of e-commerce amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Stay tuned.

¿Cómo era el cortejo antes de las redes sociales? ¿Has utilizado las apps de citas? ¿Qué pasa cuando publicamos todo de nuestras relaciones en redes sociales?

The son of two doctors, Tom Fencl recalls that while growing up in communist Czechoslovakia, to him a free market economy was more “an intellectual curiosity” than a possible career destination. “When the Berlin Wall came down, I was midway through high school—it was a very formative experience,” remembers Fencl, who says that the historic happening suddenly released “a market economy spirit.” After studying at Prague’s University of Economics, Fencl says, he was “drawn to the big financial centers” and worked in London for 2 years at Stern Stuart & Co. as a consultant before heading to the University of Michigan for an MBA. “From a university standpoint, the University of Michigan may not be the most obvious place for a European to go—but they found me more than I found them,” explains Fencl, who notes that years earlier in Prague he had met students from the University of Michigan who were involved in a study of post-communist economies. “They were virtually the first MBA students that I had ever met,” he observes. From Michigan, he went directly to New York and Wall Street, where roughly 10 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall Czech-born and -raised Fencl became an investment banker. “I worked as sort of a traditional investment banker, meaning that I covered everything from capital market transactions to M&As,” says Fencl, who worked for Salomon Smith Barney (later acquired by Citigroup) and Bank of America. “I left Wall Street just before the 2008 meltdown,” he reports. “That was some lucky timing. I moved back to my home country, the Czech Republic, with my newborn and my wife, and there I joined a private equity boutique,” explains Fencl, who over the next 10 years migrated from what he describes as “transaction-driven” finance roles to more traditional CFO posts. “I joined Pricefx in Prague—which was its largest office and where a lot of the banking office functions are,” says Fencl, who was named CFO of the company in 2017 and subsequently relocated with his family back to the U.S.—a market that Pricefx now views as a primary source of future growth. –Jack Sweeney Fencl: To remind your listeners, we're a SaaS company. So that is a subset of the industry where there's one metric above all, which is ARR, annual recurring revenue, and more specifically the growth of ARR. And then you rank companies based on where they are. For the past few years, we've been somewhere around 80% year over year. So that's a pretty decent clip. Now, you ask what did I change since I arrived? I didn't have to introduce that. They were told already by the very first investors, "You need to watch your ARR growth." The thing that I had to work on doing, and it is obviously a cultural shift, is understanding that particularly when you're using other people's money, where you're not regulated by, do I have the cash or not ... Now, you have a lot of cash, but the right question is how are you deploying it? How efficiently are you using that capital? So, the metric that I had to work and make sure that the organization understand is payback, customer acquisition cost payback. So understanding how the growth ... How much did I have to spend to get that growth? And that of course is something that then leads to further analysis because you break down the metrics into its components. And that's something where you can't just buy the growth, right? You have to have a certain level of patience. Well, for us, we mentioned before that we just finished fundraising. So we have plenty of cash to give us the, what they say, runway; meaning, we don't have to worry immediately on the short-term of funding the business. But conversely, we need to deploy that capital and, what we say, that's to scale up. And as I was saying before about it's not just growth, but how efficiently it grows. So I guess the biggest priority is make sure that we deployed efficiently, that we do achieve the growth, but we do it in a way that will satisfy sort of the requirements of the return on capital. And to do that, one of the key areas of our focus today is work with data. There's obviously a lot of data in the business, but not all of it is structured perfectly. And not all of it is organized in the right way. So we're currently spending a lot of effort on making sure that we clean that up and that we, going forward, make the decisions based on data. Data-driven decision-making is a big priority internally.

Ira Pastor, ideaXme life sciences ambassador and founder of Bioquark, interviews Dr. Hamed Faridi, Chief Science Officer of McCormick. Ira Pastor comments: Many scientists believe that we have only touched the surface with what the botanical world, and its unique ways to naturally manufacture complex, phyto-chemical cocktails, with novel bio-activities, has to teach us. Additionally, while we all may keep our pharmaceuticals, and dietary supplements, and related health products, tucked away within our medicine cabinets, we tend to forget about that other cabinet of health that we all have in our homes, which is a treasure trove of phyto-medicinal possibilities - the spice cabinet. Dr. Hamed Faridi is the Chief Science Officer Emeritus, McCormick & Company, the world's largest spice company (HQ - Maryland USA), a Fortune 1000 company, with 11,700 employees, which manufactures, markets, and distributes spices, seasoning mixes, condiments, and other flavoring products for the industrial, restaurant, institutional, and home markets. A renowned food industry leader, Dr. Faridi has led a global team of 500+ scientists responsible for thought leadership, scientific research, product development, health & wellness, and sustainability to support the global businesses of McCormick. Dr. Faridi has been referred to as the “voice of science” for McCormick & Company and advises the company’s CEO, and senior executives on strategic corporate initiatives such as technology investment and potential M&As and serves on several business councils. Under his leadership, McCormick’s R&D program has been transformed and is rated by investors and global customers as one of the most innovative in the industry. His science-based approach to “Flavorful Healthy Eating” is recognized as a groundbreaking platform for improving public health. His vision led to the formation of the McCormick Science Institute (MSI) as a research-driven organization to advance scientific understanding of the potential health benefits of culinary spices and herbs. This research prompted a close partnership with US Departments of Agriculture (USDA), Health and Human Services (HHS) and the White House, to help in the implementation of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In 2013, in partnership with IBM, he initiated the creation of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform for food and flavor product development with the potential to change the course of the industry and enhance the universal eating experience of consumers around the world, by tapping in on over 40 years of sensory, culinary, chemistry and scientific data collected by McCormick R&D scientists in 14 countries. He has published six books and dozens of scientific articles in food science and technology, and has been a guest lecturer at conferences and research institutions in 22 countries. He has also served on several boards of professional and trade associations in the U.S. and Europe. He was elected and served as president of the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACCI) and the Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA). In addition, he has served on Advisory Councils of food science departments for four major universities. He is the recipient of numerous awards and was honored as a Fellow by the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and the AACCI. Dr. Faridi is on the Board of Trustees at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) in Laurel, MD, and has served on the Board of Directors of the St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, Maryland. Prior to joining McCormick & Company, Dr. Faridi served on the faculty of Washington State University and held R&D executive positions at Nabisco Food Group where he received several awards for innovation and business impact. Dr. Faridi received his MS and Ph.D both in food science from Kansas State University, and an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. On this show we will hear from Dr. Faridi: About his background and how he developed an interest in food, science, herbs, and medicinal plants, and rose to a position of leadership in McCormick. About the importance of the study of the combinatorial phytochemical mixtures found in culinary herbs and spices and his work in AI to come up with novel flavor combinations. He’ll discuss the anti-microbial potential of culinary herbs and spices and sustainability practices in the herb and spice industry. Finally, we’ll hear about the use of flavor science to impact eating behavior, obesity, and other metabolic disorders.

The Transformation of Fire Protection and Fire Safety, with Shane Ray Building Materials Industry | The Evolution of the Fire Safety Industry As president of the NFSA and a former fire marshall in South Carolina, Shane Ray has dedicated his life to fire safety. Prior to coming into his role at the National Fire Sprinkler Association, Shane served as a firefighter for most of his career. He familiarized himself with a handful of different fire protection device and equipment manufacturers that were used both in the field and in the structures themselves. But when it comes to fire protection in the building materials industry, the NFSA is down to just four major players: Tyco, Globe, Reliable, and Viking. M&As and Consolidation in Fire Safety Every member of the National Fire Sprinkler Association is devoted to fire protection and saving lives. And while the mergers, acquisitions, and overall consolidation of the equipment manufacturers has resulted in fewer brands, they are leveraging each others strengths to build higher quality components and make the equipment better. We have seen this trend many times in the building materials industry, but in this case, it comes from a combined interest of preventing and suppressing fires. The Future of Fire Protection and Fire Safety If you are in the building materials industry, you understand that evolution sparks a grow-or-die mentality. But sometimes it’s a matter of niching down to drive new trends that serve the greater good. The same holds true in fire protection, and tech is another factor that has come into play. Most of the modern sprinkler systems are incorporating more and more electronic components, smart technology, and IoT, so it is creating new opportunities for the NFSA to collect data and determine where they are performing and where they need improvement. To learn more about the transformation of the fire protection industry, listen to the latest episode of GWP’s Constructing Brands. About Shane Ray Shane Ray has been a volunteer firefighter since 1984 and a career firefighter since 1994. He has also served as a mayor for six years and the Tennessee Fire Chief’s Legislative Chairman for 12 years. Ray’s love for politics started as fire chief of the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department in Tennessee, where he served 13 years. He then served under Governor Nikki Haley in South Carolina as superintendent and state fire marshal. He currently serves as the president of the National Fire Sprinkler Association and is a lifetime member of the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department. Throughout his career, he has been committed to public service with a “Do It Different” mentality and that all stakeholders are important. What You Will Learn: Shane’s role as the president of the National Fire Sprinkler Association What influenced the consolidation of suppliers, contractors, and manufacturers in the fire protection industry How technology has played a role in the evolution of the fire protection industry What the future holds for fire protection equipment based on current trends How the NFSA is utilizing data and analytics to identify new opportunities for improvement Resources: Website: https://nfsa.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-ray-9b82786/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/national-fire-sprinkler-association/ Twitter: @chiefrays @NFSAorg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NFSA.org/ Email: ray@NFSA.org Phone: 845-745-2671

Jason Davis is co-founder and CEO of Simon Data. Simon Data is a customer data platform (CDP) that provides enterprise marketers at brands including Blue Apron, Venmo, Equinox, and Peloton with live and personalized data to monitor purchasing trends and predict customer behavior. These transformative brands are part of the fuel behind Simon's success recently marked with a fast follow $25M Series C funding round. On today's podcast, Jason discusses the state of the CX today – where it fails us, how CDPs are delivering on the promise of Big Data and Business Intelligence solutions. “Over the last year or so, we have seen an uptick in older companies positioning themselves as CDPs to try to take advantage of the buzz around the category, without offering the capabilities of a true CDP. As the market matures, these follower companies have struggled to keep up - recent acquisition news around Acquia/AgilOne and Amperity/Custora is evidence of this. However, these acquisitions do highlight the increasingly critical role customer data plays in driving marketing strategy, as well as the importance of having a competitive product in this new category." – Josh Neckes, President/Cofounder, Simon Data After the recent Acquia / AgileOne acquisition news. Jason also shares his perspective on what this means for the industry and why we can expect to see more M&As in 2020. I also learn how Simon Data his helping brands across industries achieve a unified customer view. On the subject of customer data privacy, we also discuss if CDPs will get to a place where we're not just okay for data to be shared.

Episode 499 of “Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do” is co-produced in partnership with the Austin Technology Council, the largest tech industry organization in Central Texas. ATC empowers members by using insights, resources, and connections so their members can succeed and thrive. This conversation is with long-time ATC member (back to the days when it was the Austin Software Council) Jean Anne Booth - CEO and Founder of UnaliWear. In this episode Jean Anne talks to Cool Things host, Thom Singer, about business, Austin, and the changes in technology. She shares her story from working at NASA in college, to engineering jobs, to a career as a serial entrepreneur. About UnaliWear Focus groups have named our Kanega watch a wearable “OnStar for People” because we provide discreet support for falls, medication reminders, and a guard against wandering in a classically-styled watch featuring an easy-to-use speech interface rather than buttons. Thanks to our patented battery system in the band, you never have to take your watch off to charge – and unlike Apple watch or Samsung Gear, we don’t require a smart phone (because it’s built in). We combine cellular, Wi-Fi, GPS, BLE (for hearing aids and telemedicine devices), an accelerometer for automatic fall detection, and continuous speech to provide an active medical alert that works anywhere, along with data-driven artificial intelligence that learns the wearer’s lifestyle (think “NEST for people”) to provide predictive, pre-emptive support. Our naming derives from Cherokee: “Unalii” is “friend”, and “Kanega” is “speak”, so we are the friend that speaks to you. OnStar is a registered trademark of OnStar, LLC. UnaliWear has no affiliation with OnStar. About Jean Anne Booth (CEO and Founder) A serial entrepreneur, Jean Anne started UnaliWear after selling previous startups to Texas Instruments and Apple. Jean Anne was the founder of Luminary Micro, the creators of the Stellaris microcontroller platform and the first to market with ARM Cortex-M3-based microcontroller solutions. Luminary Micro was purchased by Texas Instruments in May 2009, and was one of the top VC-backed M&As of 2009. Jean Anne retired from TI in 2012 after serving as the general manager for TI’s Stellaris family of products. Jean Anne was also a founder at Intrinsity, the creators of the graphics chip in Apple iPad products. Intrinsity sold to Apple in 2010. Jean Anne holds a BSEE from the University of Texas at Austin, and an MSCE from National Technical University. https://thomsinger.com/podcast/unaliwear

Season 1, Episode 2: Psychopathy In this episode we discuss psychopathy. You would never know given all the attention psychopathy receives that it only occurs in 1% of males in the general population. Cleckley and others have explained psychopathy as being a personality disorder defined by a constellation of characteristics occurring on the interpersonal, affective, and lifestyle levels. There is considerable confusion regarding the construct given its history and its common, if not pejorative use of the label.

Brad Post Michael D. Kenny, Attorney Brad Post: Welcome to the floridadefense.com podcast. We are speaking to Tampa robbery charges defense lawyer Mike Kenny. And Mike we’re going to be going over, in the next series, just going over theft crimes. Correct? Michael D. Kenny, Attorney: That's right. B: You want to give us an overview of the theft crimes, and then we’ll dive into robbery. M Sure. So there is, like you're mentioning it, you call them theft crimes, and these crimes we’re going to talk about all have to do with a taking of something from somebody else. Whether it's a permanent taking, or a temporary taking of some item. And depending on how the taking occurs, or where the taking comes from, kind of changes the severity of the crime and the name the crime. A robbery, which is what we’re going to talk about today, is essentially taking something from another person, but there's an added set of elements, of using force to take that item, or the threat of force. The robbery statute in the state of Florida's is under statute section 812.13, and defines robbery. It says it means the taking of money or other property, which may be the subject of larceny, which basically means theft, from the person or custody of another, with the intent to either permanently or temporarily deprive the person, or the owner, of the money or other property, when in the course of the taking there is the use of force, violence, assault, or putting in fear. That’s the actual definition of robbery. Robbery has different levels. The most basic type of robbery is a third-degree robbery, and that’s called a robbery by sudden snatching. And the name kind of implies that something is taken quickly from another individual. And the way that a person gets charged with a robbery by sudden snatching, the thing that I always kind of think about is a pickpocket. Pickpockets are kind of notorious. The people who are pickpockets are notorious for being a pretty good about sneaking up beside somebody and taking something. There is no threat of violence. There is no force used. There really is no action on the part of the person, other than taking the item from the person. But a robbery from sudden snatching comes up when in the course of that either by snatching a purse from somebody, or taking a wallet from somebody, the “victim” becomes aware some point during the taking that something's being taken from them. So, let’s say a guy's a purse snatcher. Say he goes in and grabs the purse off of someone, and begins to walk away. If he doesn't use any force to remove that purse, but maybe unclips the purse, somehow takes it from a person. And that person, at some moment, becomes aware that “Oh, my gosh! Someone’s taken my purse!” At that moment, that transitions from theft to a robbery by sudden snatching. Because there's no violence used. There's no force used. The only thing that happens is the person who’s being victimized here realizes that he or she is the victim of a theft. And the legislature has decided that we’re going to punish those crimes a little more seriously. Because, obviously, once a victim realizes he's being robbed from, everything can potentially escalate to another level. So, that’s a robbery by sudden snatching. It is a third-degree felony. And it’s punishable by a maximum of five years in the Florida Department of Corrections. It doesn't score any type of mandatory prison sentencing, but you can get anywhere from probation to five years. Now, the next level is the type of robbery that we hear about most often, is what's called a strong-arm robbery. That’s a second-degree felony. And, a strong-arm robbery is your basic definition of a robbery, as how most people commonly understand it. That is, the taking of an item from some person, by using force, or threat of force. This can come up, and the most common situation a person is what we use the term ‘mugged’. A person is confronted by another individual, and that individual demands money. He can either use force, and get into fight, and attack somebody and take that. And that’s a robbery by sudden snatching. Or, he can use a threat of force. Say, “I'm going to harm you if you don't give me this money!” That’s a second-degree felony. And that’s punishable by up to 15 years in prison. You can get anything from probation to 15 years in prison for that. Then there is a next level from that, which things begin to change dramatically as far as the sentence. And that’s if the person is armed. If, in the course of committing the robbery, the offender carries a firearm, or other deadly weapon, then the robbery is a felony of the first degree, and is punishable by a term of imprisonment not exceeding life. So, that’s a punishable by life crime. So, if you take that same situation you look at the three different robberies we talked about: a guy runs up and snatches a purse off somebody, and that person doesn't become aware of until he’s running away. That could potentially be a robbery by sudden snatching. Then you graduate another level where a guy walks up to someone, and says, “Hey, listen! Give me your purse, or I’m going to hit you!” And the person gives the purse. That’s a second degree robbery. That’s known as a strong-arm robbery. Then, you get to this next level. A person points a firearm at someone and says, “Give me your purse!” That crime is now punishable by life in prison. The first one punishable by five years. The second one punishable by 15. And, obviously the third one punishable by life in prison. That doesn’t have to be a firearm. It could even be a knife. It could be a weapon of some sort. The firearm is still punishable by life, but it changes because there’s a 10/20/life statute in Florida. Anytime firearm is used in the commission of a felony there is a 10 year minimum mandatory prison sentence. B: Mike, one thing that I like about talking to you, and we’ve talked about this in the previous podcast, is that you’ve worked on both sides of the courtroom. M That’s right. B: The plaintiff side, and also the defense side. Do you see very many of these being repeat offenders, very often? And, is there an additional charge, or imprisonment, on repeat offenders? M: As a prosecutor, obviously I’ve seen pretty much every type of crime you can imagine. Everything from misdemeanor to a capital murder. But, as far as robberies are concerned, those are usually, in my experience as the prosecutor and as a defense lawyer, those are usually crimes of desperation. And, so you don't typically find that people do them regularly. Unless, we’re talking about a serial bank robber which we may have run into those a couple times. Usually, you don't find the same person having a history of committing robberies. What I can tell you is that there are specific penalties, and Florida's pretty tough for people who get convicted of serious crimes, and then when they come out they’re back in the system again. There's one specific, very simple enhancement called the prison releasee re-offender. And, a person who’s a prison releasee re-offender is anybody who gets sentenced to the Department of Corrections for anything. Say you go to prison for any type of charge whatsoever, but within three years of your release, you are convicted of committing a violent felony, basically a forcible felony, and that’s anything like a robbery, a burglary, an arson, any kind of specific crimes known as forcible felonies. But, these are specifically designated by statute. But, if you commit these violent felonies, or forcible felonies, you get the maximum sentence day for day, and the judge has no discretion. As long as the state has served notice that you qualify for prison releasee reoffender, you get the maximum sentence day for day. So a person who may have got a prison for something in the past, and ends up committing armed robbery, even if the judge wanted to, if you get convicted of an armed robbery, the judge has no discretion, but to give you life. B: All right. We've got a few other topics that we’re going to discuss. So, join us on our next edition of floridadefense.com podcast. We’ve been speaking to Tampa robbery charges defense attorney Mike Kenny.

W: That's just it. We're on our own now. We've taken so many things for granted until now. M: Like what? W: Free meals. I can't cook to save my life, but my Mom always made dinner the best part of my day. M: You can just go to McDonalds or something. You're free to do whatever you please! W: It's not as simple as picking what you want to eat. We have to pay for it out of our own pockets now. M: Don't your parents give you money? It's no different from an allowance. W: Well, mine just told me to get a job. They're cutting my allowance. M: That's harsh. What are you going to do? W: Face the music. I'm becoming an adult and its time that I start acting like one. M: You're growing up too fast for me. W: Or maybe you're not growing up at all? M: Hey, that's deep. W: I know. Oh, that reminds me, you going to the party at the Frat House? M: What happened to all that talk about acting like an adult? W: I figure I have a couple of more years to grow up, so why spoil it now. I'm young and free. Why be tied down by responsibility? M: Well, that didn't last long. Hey, lets go! (Written by Tijan Nicholson) 2. やさしい英語会話 (70) Handing in Homework M: Umm…Ms. Yamada? I’m sorry. I can’t hand in my homework today. Um, I think…the sheep took it from my bag on my way to school. W: What? How can sheep take your homework? You forgot your homework last week as well. Calvin, you need to work harder. M: I didn’t forget it last week. Last week… my dog ate it all up! W: Yeah, yeah, yeah…Calvin, you need to take more responsibility for what you do when you go to college or the workplace. You could get kicked out of school, or even lose your job! M: OK…but I’m still a kid. W: You’re already 18!! You’ll be out in the work force soon! Now, I want you to sit here and write “I’LL HAND IN MY HOMEWORK NEXT WEEK” 100 times. M: What!? Now? Here? W: Yes. Just sit here, write them on this paper. M: (in an adult-like way) Um, Ms. Yamada, I think this is meaningless. There is no guarantee that I’ll hand in my homework next week even if I write that sentence 100 times. It’s just a waste of time, paper, and ink. You will pollute the earth by making me do this thing. W: ……Calvin, that was the most logical thing I’ve heard you say in the last 10 months! M: Yeah?? So…can I go now? W: No. Now, I’d like to hear your story more. How can I get you to hand in last week’s homework? M: (in an adult-like way) Ms. Yamada, you need to keep moving forward. Some people say we should learn from the past, but I don’t think that’s always the case. We shouldn’t let the past pull us down. There is no future behind us; it’s ahead of us! So just forget about it and let’s move on! W: No! Now, you do last week’s homework right here, right now, and hand it in. Is that clear? M: Yes, Ms. Yamada.

M: Hmm… That's a tough one. I think I'd try to get to the high ground. When I was a kid, I used to spend summers at my grandparents' place, a small village in the mountains. One time I found this awesome rock. When I lay on that rock, the deep blue sky stretched endlessly all around. W: And, as I imagine, you would go directly to the sky from that rock? M: Exactly! What about you? W: I would behave like nothing's gonna happen. Cook my meal, surf the Internet, sit on the toilet. I mean, that's what my life is about, right? And I don't want it any other way. M: You have a point, unlike a certain person here. W: Mr. Jones IS a guru of boring lectures! Look how many students have fallen asleep under his hypnotizing gaze! 18 out of 20! M: Ha-ha, no way! Wait, are we the only ones awake now? W: Yep. M: And he doesn't seem to have a clue. How is that even possible? W: Maybe his sleeping magic backfired? Somniloquy in action! M: Hey, talking in your sleep is just one of the lesser wonders you can witness in class early on a Monday morning. W: Other wonders include a mass disappearance and/or a mass hangover! M: Anyway, what's with the question about the final 14 minutes? W: Oh, that's easy. Look at the clock. What do you see? M: As a student craving a cup of foul vending-machine coffee more than anything in the world, I see only how much time is left till the end of this lecture. And that is... exactly 13 minutes! Ah, got it. W: Now it's your turn to come up with a conversation topic we could use to pass the remaining, almost infinite amount of time! M: Hmm, what would you do if you had only 13 minutes left to live? (Written by Dmitry Mamchur) 4. やさしい英語会話 (202) Drinking In Class M: Hey! What are you doing?! W: (gulp, gulp) Um…drinking coffee? M: Hey, we're in the middle of class!! W: And that is related to this conversation how? M: You can't drink in the middle of a lecture! W: Really? Not even water, or coffee? M: No! W: Oh, that's strange… M: Why? Can you drink during class in America? W: Of course! You can drink water, tea, coffee, almost anything. Depending on the teacher and how discreet you are, you can even eat snacks! M: No way! You gotta be kidding. W: Well, sometimes there are a couple of teachers that won't let you drink or eat anything. But most teachers are very understanding, and even drink water or coffee themselves. M: Wow, that certainly sounds nice. W: Yes, but I've seen a few students fall asleep in the middle of a lecture here in Japan, and if that happened in a lecture in America the teacher would be furious! M: Is that so? Hmm, I guess it's give and take, though I could really go for something to eat now over taking a nap! W: Well, we only have about ten more minutes left in class, so I'm guessing we can both hold out for a few more minutes. M: True. Hey, do you want to catch some lunch after this? Maybe even head off campus and eat some curry? W: Sure, sounds good! Although I think maybe we should quiet down, the teacher's glaring at us and walking this way! (Written by Matthew Bola)

W: That's just it. We're on our own now. We've taken so many things for granted until now. M: Like what? W: Free meals. I can't cook to save my life, but my Mom always made dinner the best part of my day. M: You can just go to McDonalds or something. You're free to do whatever you please! W: It's not as simple as picking what you want to eat. We have to pay for it out of our own pockets now. M: Don't your parents give you money? It's no different from an allowance. W: Well, mine just told me to get a job. They're cutting my allowance. M: That's harsh. What are you going to do? W: Face the music. I'm becoming an adult and its time that I start acting like one. M: You're growing up too fast for me. W: Or maybe you're not growing up at all? M: Hey, that's deep. W: I know. Oh, that reminds me, you going to the party at the Frat House? M: What happened to all that talk about acting like an adult? W: I figure I have a couple of more years to grow up, so why spoil it now. I'm young and free. Why be tied down by responsibility? M: Well, that didn't last long. Hey, lets go! (Written by Tijan Nicholson) 2. やさしい英語会話 (70) Handing in Homework M: Umm…Ms. Yamada? I’m sorry. I can’t hand in my homework today. Um, I think…the sheep took it from my bag on my way to school. W: What? How can sheep take your homework? You forgot your homework last week as well. Calvin, you need to work harder. M: I didn’t forget it last week. Last week… my dog ate it all up! W: Yeah, yeah, yeah…Calvin, you need to take more responsibility for what you do when you go to college or the workplace. You could get kicked out of school, or even lose your job! M: OK…but I’m still a kid. W: You’re already 18!! You’ll be out in the work force soon! Now, I want you to sit here and write “I’LL HAND IN MY HOMEWORK NEXT WEEK” 100 times. M: What!? Now? Here? W: Yes. Just sit here, write them on this paper. M: (in an adult-like way) Um, Ms. Yamada, I think this is meaningless. There is no guarantee that I’ll hand in my homework next week even if I write that sentence 100 times. It’s just a waste of time, paper, and ink. You will pollute the earth by making me do this thing. W: ……Calvin, that was the most logical thing I’ve heard you say in the last 10 months! M: Yeah?? So…can I go now? W: No. Now, I’d like to hear your story more. How can I get you to hand in last week’s homework? M: (in an adult-like way) Ms. Yamada, you need to keep moving forward. Some people say we should learn from the past, but I don’t think that’s always the case. We shouldn’t let the past pull us down. There is no future behind us; it’s ahead of us! So just forget about it and let’s move on! W: No! Now, you do last week’s homework right here, right now, and hand it in. Is that clear? M: Yes, Ms. Yamada.

M: Hmm… That's a tough one. I think I'd try to get to the high ground. When I was a kid, I used to spend summers at my grandparents' place, a small village in the mountains. One time I found this awesome rock. When I lay on that rock, the deep blue sky stretched endlessly all around. W: And, as I imagine, you would go directly to the sky from that rock? M: Exactly! What about you? W: I would behave like nothing's gonna happen. Cook my meal, surf the Internet, sit on the toilet. I mean, that's what my life is about, right? And I don't want it any other way. M: You have a point, unlike a certain person here. W: Mr. Jones IS a guru of boring lectures! Look how many students have fallen asleep under his hypnotizing gaze! 18 out of 20! M: Ha-ha, no way! Wait, are we the only ones awake now? W: Yep. M: And he doesn't seem to have a clue. How is that even possible? W: Maybe his sleeping magic backfired? Somniloquy in action! M: Hey, talking in your sleep is just one of the lesser wonders you can witness in class early on a Monday morning. W: Other wonders include a mass disappearance and/or a mass hangover! M: Anyway, what's with the question about the final 14 minutes? W: Oh, that's easy. Look at the clock. What do you see? M: As a student craving a cup of foul vending-machine coffee more than anything in the world, I see only how much time is left till the end of this lecture. And that is... exactly 13 minutes!

Fakultät für Chemie und Pharmazie - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU - Teil 01/06
Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, Arsen- bzw. Antimonverbindungen zu synthetisieren und zu charakterisieren, die Chemiker aufgrund allgemeiner Erfahrungen als instabil bzw. explosiv bezeichnen würden. Dabei wurden vier verschiedene Schwerpunkte gesetzt. (a) binäre Arsenazide und Antimonazide (b) gemischte Halogen/Azid-Verbindungen von Arsen und Antimon (c) Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte von As(N3)5 und Sb(N3)5 (d) Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte von AsCl5 und SbCl5 (a) binäre Arsenazide und Antimonazide Die binären Arsenazid- und Antimonazid-Verbindungen M(N3)3, M(N3)4 + , M(N3)4 – , M(N3)5 und M(N3)6 – (M = As, Sb) wurden durch Reaktion der entsprechenden Chlorid-Verbindungen mit TMS-N3 oder aktiviertem NaN3 synthetisiert. Die Verbindungen wurden als reine Substanzen bzw. als Salze isoliert. Die Isolation der reinen Pentaazide gelang aufgrund der extremen Explosivität nicht. Die Strukturen und Normalschwingungen aller binären Verbindungen wurden auf B3LYP-Niveau berechnet. Die kationischen Spezies zeigen S4-Symmetrie, die monomeren M(N3)4 – -Anionen und die neutralen M(N3)5-Spezies Cs-Symmetrie, die dimeren [M(N3)4 – ]2-Anionen S2-Symmetrie und die M(N3)6 – -Anionen S6-Symmetrie. Abbildung 46 zeigt die berechneten Strukturen und die explosiven Eigenschaften der Verbindungen. Die berechneten durchschnittlichen M-N-Bindungslängen steigen in der Reihenfolge M(N3)4 + < M(N3)5 < M(N3)3 < M(N3)4 – < M(N3)6 – . Die N-N-Bindungslängen innerhalb der Azidgruppen zeigen eine ähnliche Tendenz. Die kationischen Verbindungen zeigen die längsten N -N - und die kürzesten N -N -Bindungslängen (Konnektivität: M–N –N –N ) gefolgt von den Neutral-verbindungen und den anionischen Spezies. Dementsprechend ist die Bindungsordnung zwischen dem N und N -Stickstoffatom (vgl. Lewisformel III, Schema 1) für die kationischen Azidverbidungen am höchsten und für die anionischen am geringsten. Diese Tendenzen stimmen gut mit den experimentell bestimmten und berechneten Schwingungsdaten für die Azidgruppen überein.Die ionischen Verbindungen werden durch voluminöse Gegenionen im Kristall stabilisiert. Die relativen kurzen N -N -Bindungslängen erklären dennoch die gesteigerte Explosivität der kationischen Verbindungen gegenüber den anionischen Spezies. Eine Eliminierung von N2 ist aufgrund dieser kurzen N -N -Bindungslängen erleichtert. Die neutralen Triazide sind außerordentlich explosiv und die Pentaazide zersetzen sich aufgrund des extrem hohen Stickstoffgehalts spontan. Es gelang erstmals eine Arsenazidverbindung durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse zu charakterisieren. Die Struktur des As(N3)6 – -Anions wurde als desses PPh4 + - und Py-H + -Salz geklärt. Das Arsenatom ist von sechs Stickstoffatomen oktaedrisch umgeben. Das Anion zeigt im Kristall zentrosymmetrische S2-Symmetrie. Die experimentell bestimmten Struktur-parameter stimmen mit den auf B3LYP-Niveau berechneten gut überein. Abbildung 47 zeigt die Molekülstruktur des As(N3)– -Anions. Die 14 N-NMR-Spektren aller Verbindungen zeigen drei Resonanzen für die nichtäquivalenten Stickstoffatome der kovalent gebundenen Azide. In den 75 As- bzw. 121 Sb-NMR-Spektren konnten nur im Falle der Hexaazidoanionen Resonanzen aufgelöst werden, da diese Kerne nur in hochsymmetrischer Umgebung aufgrund ihres hohen Quadrupolmoments detektiert werden können. (b) gemischte Halogen/Azid-Verbindungen von Arsen und Antimon Gemischte Halogen- bzw. Halogen/Azid-Verbindungen von Arsen und Antimon in der Oxidationsstufe (III) konnten bisher nicht isoliert werden, da diese Verbindungen leicht in die jeweiligen Trihalogenide bzw. Pseudohalogenide dismutieren. Deratige Dismutierungen wurden in dieser Arbeit bei Reaktionen von MX3 (M =As, Sb; X = F, Br, I) mit azidübertragenden Reagentien beobachtet. Gemischte Halogen/Azid-Verbindungen von Arsen und Antimon konnten nur im Falle des Chlorids eindeutig isoliert werden. Die Dismutierungsneigung ist aufgrund der chemischen Ähnlichkeit von Chlorid und Azid am geringsten. SbCl(N3)2 wurde durch Reaktion von SbCl3 und zwei Äquivalenten NaN3 synthetisiert. SbCl2N3 konnte nur in Gegenwart von Pyridin als Lewis-Base kristallisiert werden, wobei das Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukt SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin entstand. Eine gemischte Chlorid/Azid-Verbindung von Arsen konnte ebenfalls in Gegenwart von Pyridin als Lewis-Base isoliert werden. Es wurde die Verbindung AsCl(N3)2 · 2 Pyridin durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse eindeutig charakterisiert. Abbildung 48 zeigt die Molekülstruktur von SbCl(N3)2. Die Molekülstrukturen der beiden anderen gemischten Chlorid/Azid-Verbindung von Arsen und Antimon sind in Kap. 3.2.4 abgebildet. Die Zentralatome sind in Übereinstimmung mit dem VSEPR-Konzept in SbCl(N3)2 Ψ -tetraedrisch, in AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin Ψ -trigonal-bipyramidal, und in SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin Ψ -toktaedrisch umgeben. Die Schwingungsspektren von AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin und SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin zeigen Banden bei 216 cm –1 und 139 cm –1 (As) und 166 cm –1 und 109 cm –1 (Sb). Diese Banden werden den Streck- bzw. Deformationsschwingung der M-NPy-Bindungen (M = As, Sb) zugeordnet. Die 14 N-NMR-Spektren von AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin und SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin zeigen zusätzlich zu den Resonanzen die den Azid-Stickstoffatomen zugeordnet werden, breite Resonanzen bei einer chemischen Verschiebung von δ = –164 ppm (As) und –157 ppm (Sb). Diese Resonanzen werden den Stickstoffatomen der Pyridinmoleküle zugeordnet. Sie sind im Vergleich zu freiem Pyridin deutlich verschoben (–63 ppm). Es folgt, dass die Addukte ebenso in Lösung stabil sind. Auf der Grundlage der experimentell bestimmten Atomkoordinaten von AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin und SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin wurden NBO-Analysen (B3LYP) berechnet, um einen Einblick in die Bindungssituation solcher schwach gebundenen Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte zu erhalten. In AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin werden 0.20 Elektronen vom Pyridin auf AsCl(N3)2 übertragen und in SbCl2N3 · 2 Pyridin 0.27 Elektronen von den beiden Pyridinmolekülen auf SbCl2N3. Die Wechselwirkung pro Molekül Pyridin ist damit im Vergleich zu AsCl(N3)2 · Pyridin schwächer. Dieses Ergebnis spiegelt sich in den experimentell bestimmten M-NPy-Bindungslängen wieder. (c) Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte von As(N3)5 und Sb(N3)5 Die Isolation der binären Spezies As(N3)5 und Sb(N3)5 gelang aufgrund der spontanen Explosionen nicht. Daher wurden die Verbindungen in situ durch Reaktion von AsF5 bzw. SbF5 mit TMS-N3 dargestellt und mit Lewis-Basen stabilisiert. Die Verbindungen As(N3)5 · LB bzw. Sb(N3)5 · LB (LB = Pyridin, Chinolin, NH3, N2H4 und NH2CN) wurden auf diese Weise synthetisiert. Die Verbindungen sind bei Raumtemperatur stabil, explodieren jedoch heftig bei Reibung oder höheren Temperaturen. Die Strukturen und Normalschwingungen wurden auf B3LYP-Niveau berechnet. Die Zentralatome sind jeweils okatedrisch von sechs Stickstoffatomen umgeben. Fünf stammen dabei von Azidliganden und eines von der jeweiligen Lewis-Base. In Abbildung 49 ist die Struktur von As(N3)5 · N2H4 abgebildet. Die berechneten Strukturen der anderen Addukte sind in Kap. 3.3.5 zu finden. Die Schwingungsspektren zeigen alle Schwingungen die auf kovalent gebundene Azide schließen lassen. Zusätzlich sind im Bereich von 111 cm –1 bis 430 cm –1 Banden ersichtlich, die den Streck- bzw. Deformationsschwingungen der M-NLB-Bindungen zugeordnet werden. Die 14 N-NMR-Spektren von As(N3)5 · LB bzw. Sb(N3)5 · LB (LB = Pyridin, Chinolin, NH3, N2H4 und NH2CN) zeigen zusätzlich zu den Resonanzen die den Azid-Stickstoffatomen zugeordnet werden, Signale, die den Stickstoffatomen der jeweiligen Lewis-Basen zugeordnet werden. Diese Resonanzen sind im Vergleich zu den Resonanzen der freien N-Basen deutlich verschoben. Es folgt, dass die Addukte ebenso in Lösung stabil sind. Aufgrund der 14 N-NMR-Spektren von As(N3)5 · NCNH2 bzw. Sb(N3)5 · NCNH2 kann gefolgert werden, dass die Cyanamid-Verbindungen über die Cyanid-Einheiten an die Zentralatome koordinieren. Die 75 As- bzw. 121 Sb-NMR-Spektren belegen eine oktaedrische Koordination an den Zentral-atomen. Es konnten für alle Addukte Resonanzen in den Spektren detektiert werden. Die Bindungsdissoziationsenthalpien für die Dissoziation der Addukte gemäß Gleichung 25 wurden quantenmechanisch berechnet. M(N3)5 · LB → M(N3)5 + LB (25) (M = As,Sb; LB = Pyridin, NH3, N2H4 und NH2CN) Die Bindungsdissoziationsenthalpie ist ein Maß für die As- bzw. Sb-NLB-Bindungsstärke dieser Addukte. Die Stabilität der Addukte steigt in der Reihenfolge NH2CN < Pyridin < NH3 < N2H4 und As(N3)5 < Sb(N3)5. Die Bindungsdissoziationsenthalpien stimmen qualitativ gut mit den berechneten As- bzw. Sb-NLB-Bindungslängen überein. Die schwächsten Cyanamid-Addukte zeigen die längsten As- bzw. Sb-NLB-Bindungslängen, die stärksten Hydrazin-Addukte zeigen die kürzesten. (d) Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte von AsCl5 und SbCl5 AsCl5 ist aufgrund der d-Blockkontraktion und der damit verbundenen geringer Abschirmung der hohen Kernladung sehr instabil. Addukte von AsCl5 wurden ebenso wenige beschrieben. SbCl5 hingegen ist stabil. In dieser Arbeit wurde das Koordinationsverhalten schwacher Lewis-Basen gegenüber MCl5 (M = As, Sb) sowohl experimentell als auch theoretisch untersucht. Die Verbindungen MCl5 · LB (M = As, Sb; LB = ClCN, BrCN, ICN, 1 /2(CN)2, NH2CN und Pyridin) wurden auf B3LYP-Niveau berechnet, die Verbindungen SbCl5 · LB (LB = ClCN, BrCN, ICN, 1 /2(CN)2, NH2CN und Pyridin) und AsCl5 · NCI konnten synthetisiert werden. Strukturen, die ein lokales Minimum (NIMAG = 0) aufweisen, wurden für alle Addukte berechnet. Die Übereinstimmung der berechneten Strukturparameter für SbCl5 · NCCl und SbCl5 · NCCN · SbCl5 mit den durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse bestimmten Bindungs-längen und -winkel ist außerordentlich gut. Abbildung 50 zeigt die Molekülstruktur des 2:1 Addukts SbCl5 · NCCN · SbCl5. Die Strukturen zeigen eine sechsfache Koordination mit nahezu idealer oktaedrischer Umgebung an den Zentralatomen. Sie sind umgeben von fünf Chloratomen und jeweils einem Stickstoffatom der entsprechenden Lewis-Basen. Die Ramanspektren zeigen bei ca. 200 cm –1 Banden für die ν SbN-Streckschwingungen und von 83 cm –1 bis 134 cm –1 Banden für die δ SbN-Deformationsschwingungen. Die ν CN-Streckschwingungen der Addukte ergeben Banden zwischen 2187 cm –1 und 2352 cm –1 und sind damit um 18 - 76 cm –1 zu höheren Wellenzahlen im Vergleich zu den freien Cyaniden verschoben. Die 14 N-NMR-Spektren zeigen deutlich verschobene Resonanzen der Stickstoffatome im Vergleich zu den freien Lewis-Basen. Auf der Grundlage der experimentell bestimmten Atomkoordinaten von SbCl5 · NCCl und SbCl5 · NCCN · SbCl5 wurden NBO-Analysen (B3LYP) berechnet, um einen Einblick in die Bindungssituation dieser schwach gebundenen Lewis-Säure-Base-Addukte zu erhalten. Die Wechselwirkung der Lewis-Base Dicyan mit SbCl5 ist geringer als die Wechselwirkung von ClCN mit SbCl5. Basierend auf quantenmechanischen Rechnungen (B3LYP) wurde die Bindungs-dissoziationsenthalpien, die der thermodynamische Stabilität der Addukte entspricht, aller Addukte bestimmt. Die Stabilität steigt in der Reihenfolge (CN)2 < ClCN < BrCN < ICN < NH2CN < Pyridin und AsCl5 < SbCl5. Ferner wurden in dieser Arbeit die Molekülstrukturen der Verbindungen [NEt4][SbCl6], [PPh4][SbCl4] · CHCl3 (Kap. 3.1.7), [NH4][SbCl6] (Kap. 3.6.3) und[NMe4]2[As4O2Cl10] (Kap. 3.5.3) durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse gelöst. Das As4O2Cl10 2– -Anion weist eine ungewöhnliche Struktur auf. Das Anion besitzt im Kristall D2h-Symmetrie, in denen vier Arsenatome und zwei Sauerstoffatome coplanar angeornet sind. Jedes Arsenatom weist eine lokale Ψ -oktaedrische Geometrie auf, in denen es von vier Chloratomen in nicht-äquivalenten äquatorialen Positionen (zwei verbrückende- und zwei terminalen Chloratome) und einem stereochemischen aktivem Elektronenpaar in trans Position zu dem axial verbrückendem Sauerstoffatom umgeben ist. Die Bindungssituation dieses Anions wurde durch NBO-Analyse geklärt. Die verbrückenden Chloratome übertragen jeweils eine Ladung von 0.374 Elektronen auf eine Cl2As-O-AsCl2-Einheit. Dabei sind hauptsächlich Wechselwirkungen der s-LP´s der verbrückenden Chloratome mit den antibindenden σ∗-Orbitalen der As-Clterm.-Bindungen erkennbar. Diese Wechselwirkungen spiegeln sich in den relativ langen As-Clterm.-Bindungen (2.219(1) Å) wieder. Ein weiters Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Synthese und strukturelle Charakterisierung von Azid-Komplexen der Metalle Palladium und Platin. Die Palladiumazid-Komplexe L2Pd(N3)2 (L = 2-Chloropyridin, 3-Chloropyridin, Chinolin) wurden erstmalig synthetisiert und eindeutig mittels IR-, Raman- und 14 N-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die Ergebnisse dieser spektroskopischen Untersuchungen deuten auf trans-stehende Azidliganden. Diese Ergebnisse konnten teilweise durch Röntgenstrukturanalyse bestätigt werden. Ferner wurden die von Beck et al. synthetisierten Palladiumazid-Komplexe L2Pd(N3)2 (L = PPh3, AsPh3) strukturell charaktersisiert. Ähnlich wie in L2Pd(N3)2 (L = 2-Chloropyridin, 3-Chloropyridin, Chinolin) sind die Azidgruppen trans zueinander angeordnet. Die Struktur von Pd(PPh3)2(N3)2 ist hier als Beispiel angegeben (Abbildung 51). In dem gemischt valenten Chlorid/Azid-Komplex [AsPh4]2[Pd2(N3)4Cl2] liegen die Pd(N3)2Cl – -Anionen als azidverbrückte Dimere vor, die einen planaren Pd2N2-Ring ausbilden. Desweiteren wurden in vorliegender Arbeit die binären Palladiumazid- und Platinazid- Anionen Pd(N3)4 2– , Pt(N3)4 2– und Pt(N3)6 2– strukturell charakterisiert. Auftretende Probleme bezüglich N-N-Abständen innerhalb der Azid-Einheiten konnten durch quantenmechanische Rechnungen auf HF- und B3LYP-Niveau gelöst werden. Die Tetraazid-Anionen weisen im Kristall beinahe ideale C4h-Symmetrie, und das Hexaazid-Anion annähernd ideale S6- Symmetrie auf. Für die Tetraazid-Anionen resultiert dadurch eine molekulare Struktur, die dem eines "Windrades" sehr ähnlich ist (vgl. Kap. 3.7.7). Zusammenfassend sind die in der vorliegenden Arbeit dargestellten Verbindungen und ihre Charakterisierung in Tabelle 45 aufgeführt. Sofern die Verbindungen bereits publiziert wurden sind die Originalarbeiten als Literaturstelle angegeben.
