Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are among the most important and useful methods for organic synthesis. During the last years, significant progress has been made in this field. Whereas many catalysts were developed for the coupling of aryl, alkenyl, an ...
The synthesis of the first π-extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) ligand featuring a furanoquinonoid spacer and pyridyl functional groups is described. This compound shows an unprecedented electrochemical sensing behavior and excellent coordinating properties ...
The catalytic activity of a ruthenium(II)-p-cymene complex containing a partially coordinated triphosphine ligand, [RuCl(kappa(2)-triphos)(p-cymene)]PF6 1, has been investigated in the hydrogenation of styrene to ethylbenzene. The influence of arene dissoc ...
Phosphorus-based ligands are an extremely important class of ligand and they have found many applications, especially in homogeneous catalysis. In addition, a phosphine ligand is found in a gold drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Since metal compound ...
Hydrogen can be generated from formic acid in aq. phase homogeneous catalytic reactions using ruthenium catalysts with water-sol. phosphine ligands. A comparison of tri-, di-, and mono-sulfonato triphenylphosphine, disulfonato diphenyl-alkyl-phosphines (Ph ...
Formic acid, containing 4.4 wt% of hydrogen, is a non-toxic liquid at ambient temperature and therefore an ideal candidate as potential hydrogen storage material. Formic acid can be generated via catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 or bicarbonate in the presenc ...
Gold(I) complexes bearing water-sol. phosphine ligands, including 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (DAPTA), and sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate (TPPTS), in combination with thionate liga ...
The reaction of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with some bis(phosphane) ligands (dppm, dppe, dppv, dppa, dpp14b, dppf) has been investigated. In general mixtures of products were obtained, although the pendant phosphane complexes [( ...
The potentially hexadentate ligand L, which contains two terminal coumarin fluorophores, forms dinuclear double-stranded helicates with dicationic metal ions, giving species of the generic form M2L2. In solution the free ligand was fluorescent with e ...
Homo- and heterobimetallic complexes of the late transitions metals have been synthesized by metathesis reactions of the corresponding chloro-bridged dimers. These reactions have the advantage of being fast and giving rise to structurally defined products ...
