Examples of simple, separable, unital, purely infinite ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras are constructed, including:

  1. (1) some that are not approximately divisible;

  2. (2) those that arise as crossed products of any of a certain class of ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras by any of a certain class of non–unital endomorphisms;

  3. (3) those that arise as reduced free products of pairs of ${{C}^{*}}$-algebras with respect to any from a certain class of states.
