Photocatalyzed [2σ + 2σ] and [2σ + 2π] Cycloadditions for the Synthesis of Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes and 5- or 6-Membered Carbocycles

Jérôme Waser, Matthew Wodrich, André Bossonnet

We report the use of photocatalysis for the homolytic ring-opening of carbonyl cyclopropanes. In contrast to previous studies, our approach does not require a metal cocatalyst or a strong reductant. The carbonyl cyclopropanes can be employed for both [2σ + ...

Tuning the reactivity of uranium towards small molecules in multimetallic complexes

Nadir Jori

One of the main goals of organometallic chemistry in the last decades was the activation of small molecule in mild reaction conditions. Even though multiple examples of catalytic cycles able to produce fine chemicals from cheap and abundant sources using t ...

C-H Bond Activation by an Isolated Dinuclear U(III)/U(IV) Nitride

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic

Synthetic studies of bimetallic uranium nitride complexes with the N(SiMe3)(2) ligand have generated a new nitride complex of U(III), which is highly reactive toward C-H bonds and H-2. Treatment of the previously reported U(IV)/U(IV) nitride complex [Na(DM ...

Trisubstituted geminal diazaalkene derived transient 1,2-carbodications

Shubhajit Das

The coulombic repulsion between two adjacent cation centres of 1,2-carbodications is known to decrease with pi- and/or n-donor substituents by a positive charge delocalization. Here we report the delocalization of the positive charge of transient 1,2-carbo ...

Chemical Oxidation of Dissolved Organic Matter by Chlorine Dioxide, Chlorine, And Ozone: Effects on Its Optical and Antioxidant Properties

Urs von Gunten, Silvio Canonica

In water treatment dissolved organic matter (DOM) is typically the major sink for chemical oxidants. The resulting changes in DOM, such as its optical properties have been measured to follow the oxidation processes. However, such measurements contain only ...

Heterolytic N-Calpha Bond Cleavage in Electron Capture and Transfer Dissociation of Peptide Cations

Yury Tsybin, Matthew Wodrich, Konstantin Zhurov, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Aleksey Vorobyev

Mass spectrometry techniques employing electron capture and electron transfer dissociation represent powerful approaches for the analysis of biological samples. Despite routine employment in analytical fields, the underlying physical processes dictating pe ...

First-Principles Simulations of C-S Bond Cleavage in Rhenium Thioether Complexes

Ursula Röthlisberger

We present first-principles mol. dynamics studies of the reductive C-S bond cleavage reaction in hexathioether complexes of the form [Re(9S3)2]m+ (with 9S3 = 1,4,7 trithiacyclononane and m = 1,2). Our calcns. show that electron transfer and bond dissocn. t ...
