Metal-catalyzed functionalizations at the ortho position of a directing group have become an efficient bond-forming strategy. A wide range of transformations that employ Cp*Rh-III catalysts have been described, but despite their synthetic potential, enanti ...
Rh-III-catalyzed directed C-H functionalizations of arylhydroxamates have become a valuable synthetic tool. To date, the regioselectivity of the insertion of the unsaturated acceptor into the common cyclometalated intermediate was dependent solely on intri ...
A new series of donor–bridge–acceptor (D–B–A) compounds consisting of π-conjugated oligofluorene (oFL) bridges between a ferrocene (Fc) electron-donor and a fullerene (C60) electron-acceptor have been synthesized. In addition to varying the length of the b ...
Metal complexes coordinated by a single cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand are widely used, versatile catalysts, but their application to asymmetric reactions has been hindered by the difficulty of designing Cp substituents that effectively bias the coordination ...
In this work Fe-Cr compounds, as model alloys for the ferritic base steels that are considered as main candidates for the structural materials of the future fusion reactors, are studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The Cr or so-called alpha' preci ...
Investigations of ruthenium halfsandwich complexes have mostly focused on Cp and Cp* based derivatives due to the availability of easily accessible starting materials. However, it is interesting to have complexes with substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands i ...
Paramagnetic solid-state NMR, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and Raman spectroscopies, along with detailed quantum mechanical calculations performed with different density functional theory (DFT) functionals, are successfully applied to ...
Directed Cp*Rh-III-catalyzed carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bond functionalizations have evolved as a powerful strategy for the construction of heterocycles. Despite their high value, the development of related asymmetric reactions is largely lagging behind due to ...
Pyridylferrocene and imidazolylferrocene arene-Ru complexes [Ru(η6-arene)(L)Cl2] where L = NC5H4CH2NHOCC5H4FeC5H5, arene = p-iPrC6H4Me (1) or C6Me6 (2); L = NC3H3N(CH2)2O2CC5H4FeC5H5, arene = p-iPrC6H4Me (3) or C6Me6 (4), and diruthenium-arene complexes [R ...
