Carbon K-edge x-ray emission spectroscopy of gas phase ethylenic molecules

Majed Chergui, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Rebecca Ann Ingle, Luca Longetti, Thomas Roland Barillot

We report on the C K-edge x-ray absorption spectra and the resonant (RXES) and non-resonant (NXES) x-ray emission spectra of ethylene, allene and butadiene in the gas phase. The RXES and NXES show clear differences for the different molecules. Overall both ...

C-C bond activation enabled by dyotropic rearrangement of Pd(iv) species

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Hua Wu, Jian Cao

The weak carbon-metal bond combined with the kinetic inertness of the carbon-carbon bond renders metal-catalysed C-C bond activation to be highly challenging. Most of the reported C-C bond activation methodologies involve strain-releasing cleavage of small ...
