The conversion of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole, an exceptionally acidic arene, via a 4-lithiated intermediate into more than three dozen new derivs. was conceived as a case study. The lithiated species was trapped by C0-electrophiles (4-toluenesulfonyl az ...
The reaction of the anilines RNH2 [R = C6H4(o-CN), C6H4(p-CN), C6H4(m-CN), C6H4(o-C6H5), C6F5 and C6H4(o-CF3)] with Ph2PCl and inorganic or organic bases in differing stoichiometry and in different solvents has been studied. The electronic properties and s ...
The reactivity of the iminodiphosphane C6H4(o-CN)N= PPh2-PPh2, which contains an N=P-P unit, has been investigated. Reaction with small molecules, [viz. H2O/O-2, H2O2, CH3OH, C6H4(o-CN)NH2] and elemental sulfur result in cleavage of the P-P bond to give am ...
A series of imidazolium salts with the nitrile functional group attached to the alkyl side chain, viz. [C(n)CNmim][X] (where C(n)CNmim is the 1-alkylnitrile-3-methylimidazolium cation and C-n = (CH2)(n), n = 1-4; X = Cl, PF6, and BF4) and [C(3)CNdmim][X] ( ...
Strontium lanthanum manganite (LSM) and lanthanum ferrite (LSF) perovskite cathode and oxygen membrane materials were synthesized using different techniques: spray pyrolysis, a modified citrate route, oxalate and carbonate co-precipitations. The use of Ca, ...
The reaction of the aminophosphane C6H4(o-CN)NHPPh2 with elemental potassium in the presence of 18-crown-6 affords the phosphinoamide-containing complex [C6H4(o-CN)N-PPh2(THF)(18-Crown-6)K] which has been fully characterised in solution and the solid state ...
The synthesis of the potentially nonadentate ligand 1,4,7-tris[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (H3tpatcn), a new derivative of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane N-functionalised with three pyridinecarboxylate arms, is described. The complexes ...
Upon reacting P4S3 with AgAl(hfip)4 and AgAl(pftb)4 [hfip = OC(H)(CF3)2; pftb = OC(CF3)3], the compds. Ag(P4S3)Al(hfip)4 (1) and Ag(P4S3)2+[Al(pftb)4]- (2) formed in CS2 or CS2/CH2Cl2 soln., resp. Compds. 1 and 2 were characterized by single-crystal x-ray ...
Carbamoylphosphate has been shown to be the educt for the synthesis of the CN ligands of the NiFe metal centre of hydrogenases from Escherichia coli. In the absence of carbamoylphosphate, cells accumulate a complex of two hydrogenase maturation proteins, n ...
The dynamics of the ferric CN complexes of the heme proteins Myoglobin and Hb I from the clam Lucina pectinata upon Soret band excitation is monitored using IR and broad band visible pump-probe spectroscopy. The transient response in the UV-vis spectral re ...
