Chiral trivalent phosphorus species are the dominant class of ligands and the key controlling element in asymmetric homogeneous transition-metal catalysis. Here, novel chiral diaminophosphine oxide ligands are described. The arising catalyst system with ni ...
Hqpzc has been synthesized by a highly efficient procedure using the ionic liquid TBAB as an environmentally benign reaction medium. [Cu(qpzc)(OAc)]H2O (1) and [Zn(qpzc)(OAc)(H2O)] (2), complexes of the deprotonated ligand, qpzc [qpzc ...
A facile method to coordinate transition metal complexes (TMCs) on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been developed. Reaction of Zn(OAc)2 with carboxylic acid functionalized SWNTs (SWNT-COOH) affords SWNT complexes zipped-together' by zinc carboxy ...
Hexanuclear coordination cages of the formula [(C5Me4R)M(C7H3NO 4)]6 (M = Rh, Ir; R = Me, H) were obtained by stepwise reaction of [(C5Me4R)M(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with, first AgOAc and then pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. Crystallographic analyses show that the cages ...
An improved synthesis of 2-(2′-benzothiazole)- and 2-(2′-benzoxazole)-8-hydroxyquinoline ligands that combine a tridentate N,N,O-chelating unit for metal binding and extended chromophore for light harvesting is developed. The 2-(2′-benzoxazole)-8-hydroxyqu ...
The isomerization dynamics of five labile octahedral Co(II) compounds have been investigated by variable temperature and pressure 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy in dichloromethane solution. The X-ray crystal structure of the two tris-chelates, [Co(HFA)2bpic] ...
A novel ruthenium(II) compound, trans-cis-cis-[Ru(II)Cl-2(DMSO)(2)(2-amino-5-methyl-thiazole)(2)], (I), PMRu52 hereafter, that may be obtained from the previously described (cis and trans)[Ru(II)Cl-2(DMSO)(4)] complexes, was designed, synthesized and chara ...
Dibenzoylmethanate replaces the bridging triflate ligands in uranium triflate polyoxo-clusters and cleaves the U12O20 core yielding the new [U6O4(OH)4(η-dbm) 12] dibenzoylmethanate (dbm-) cluster which slowly dissociates into a monomeric complex. This reac ...
The development of efficient chiral monodentate phosphine ligands lags behind that of the bidentate congeners. This holds especially true for highly electron rich chiral phosphine analogues able to replace the ubiquitous tricyclohexylphosphine and tri-tert ...
Chemosensors based on indicator displacement were developed for the optical detection of different analytes in aqueous solution. The sensing of carbohydrates, including glucose, in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 was achieved by a fluorescent indicator displace ...
