A review. The catalytic activation of C-C single bonds represents a major challenge in organometallic chem. Strained ring substrates occupy in this respect a privileged role as their inherent ring strain facilitates the desired metal insertion. Employing s ...
A rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective insertion into the C-C bond of tert-cyclobutanols and subsequent proto-demetalation provides access to Me substituted quaternary stereogenic centers in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The reaction was used fo ...
H-1-C-13 two-dimensional magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR correlation spectra, recorded with the MAS-J-HMQC experiment, are presented for campho[2,3-c]pyrazole. For each C-13 moiety, there are six resonances associated with the six distinct molec ...
We address the issue of the low electrical conductivity observed in carbon nanotube networks using first-principles calculations of the structure, stability, and ballistic transport of different nanotube junctions. We first study covalent linkers, using th ...
The incommensurately modulated structure of the mineral natrite has been refined for the first time. Two single-crystal grains, Lv and Kh, from two different occurrences [Mt. Karnasurt, Lovozero massif (Lv), Kola peninsula, Russia, and the pegmatite of Mt. ...
Dimethylaminonitrene complexes of IMesM+ (IMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)- imidazol-2-ylidene; M = Cu, Ag, Au) were prepared in the gas phase and structurally characterized by high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of the cold species, ion-molecule re ...
The ring strain energies of carbomeric-cycloalkanes (molecules with one or more acetylene spacer units placed into carbon single bonds) are assessed using a series of isodesmic, homodesmotic, and hyperhomodesmotic chemical equations. Isodesmic bond separat ...
Using high resolution transmission electron microscopy. we identify the specific atomic scale features in chemically derived graphene monolayers that originate from the oxidation-reduction treatment of graphene. The layers are found to comprise defect-free ...
needed. By an optimized patterning of the evaporated indium film and the lid, surface hermetic bonding on wafer level is reached without exceeding 140 °C in any step of the procedure. Different designs of the indium metallization and lid were tested to imp ...

Enantioselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed reactions of tert-cyclobutanols, e.g. I, lead to indanones with quaternary stereogenic centers, e.g. II, via consecutive C-C/C-H/C-C bond activations. ...
