Hydrogen holds the potential to be an alternative to replace fossil fuels in the future. The tremendous research effort dedicated to the issue of hydrogen storage has led to considerable advancements in the development of both adsorption materials and chem ...
Copper-catalyzed coupling of ortho-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol esters with β-ketoesters afforded, under mild base-free oxidative conditions, 2,3-disubstituted indoles featuring a key Chan-Lam type carbon-carbon bond forming reaction. ...
The oligomerization of propene was investigated over a series of nickel ion-exchanged Na-X zeolites with varying Ni loadings. Catalyst characterization by temperature-programmed reduction, elemental analysis, and XANES indicates that all of the exchanged N ...
Macrocyclization methodologies allowing access to macrocycles having an endo ary ether and an endo ary-aryl bond, especially those based on an intramolecular SNAr reaction and the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, were summarized. Total synthesis of complestatin, a ...
A copper-based method is highly efficient for the cross-coupling of alkyl electrophiles with secondary and tertiary alkyl Grignard reagents. The method is distinguished by its broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. ...
Motivated by the recent discovery of a spin-liquid phase for the Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice at half-filling (Meng et al 2010 Nature 88 487), we apply both perturbative and non-perturbative techniques to derive effective spin Hamiltonians descri ...
The present invention concerns a dual cure composition comprising a radiation curable polymer precursor, solid particles, an organometallic precursor and a coupling agent, a hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposite material produced using said dual cure comp ...
Oxidative addition of BrC CC(=O)O-menthyl (1a) to [Pd(PPh3)(4)] affords the alkynyl complex trans-[Br(PPh3)(2)Pd-C CC(=O)O-menthyl] (2a). Subsequent reaction of 2a with trifluoroacetate gives trans-[(F3CCOO)(PPh3)(2)Pd-C CC(=O)O-menthyl] (3a). Reaction of ...
Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with a small size and narrow size distribution were prepared from the decomposition of Pd(OAc)(2) in a series of hydroxyl-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) comprising the 1-(2'-hydroxylethyl)-3-methylimidazolium cation and various a ...
This work describes the use of boron-nitrogen dative bonds in supramolecular chemistry. Molecular tectons have been synthesized for crystal engineering. These tectons are linked via B-N dative bonds to form 1-dimensional polymers and macrocycles. B-N dativ ...
