Cycloalkane Oxidation Catalyzed by Copper-based Catalysts with H2O2 under Mild Conditions

Copper-catalyzed cycloalkane oxidation using H2O2 as an oxidant was investigated under mild conditions. The copper catalysts studied in this work ranged from commercially-available copper(II) salts to copper(II) complexes containing polypyridyl ligands. Va ...

Mechanistic classification and benchmarking of polyolefin depolymerization over silica-alumina-based catalysts

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mounir Driss Mensi, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Wei-Tse Lee, Jed Russell Carullo

Carbon-carbon bond cleavage mechanisms play a key role in the selective deconstruction of alkanes and polyolefins. Here, we show that the product distribution, which encompasses carbon range and formation of unsaturated and isomerization products, serves a ...

Functional Models of the Nickel Pincer Nucleotide Cofactor of Lactate Racemase

Xile Hu, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Matthew Wodrich, Huijie Pan, Renyi Shi

A novel nickel pincer cofactor was recently discovered in lactate racemase. Reported here are three synthetic nickel pincer complexes that are both structural and functional models of the pincer cofactor in lactate racemase. DFT computations suggest the ip ...

Site-selective Synthesis of -[70]PCBM-like Fullerenes: Efficient Application in Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jiyoun Seo, Seckin Akin

We report on the site-selective synthesis of PCBM-like [70]fullerene site-isomers, where the elusive -site-isomers are, for the first time, the major product in a (cyclo)addition chemical reaction involving [70]fullerene. The reaction involves an straightf ...

Nickel pincer model of the active site of lactate racemase involves ligand participation in hydride transfer

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Tao Xu

Pincer complexes are widely applied in homogeneous catalysis. However, only very recently has the first pincer complex been discovered in the active site of a metalloenzyme, namely, lactate racemase. Here, we report a synthetic model of the active site of ...

Natural inspirations for metal–ligand cooperative catalysis

Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich

In conventional homogeneous catalysis, supporting ligands act as spectators that do not interact directly with substrates. However, in metal–ligand cooperative catalysis, ligands are involved in facilitating reaction pathways that would be less favourable ...

A Novel Nickel Pincer Complex in the Active Site of Lactate Racemase

Xile Hu, Tao Xu, Gerald Bauer

A recent study revealed the structure of the Ni-containing active site of lactate racemase. The Ni is coordinated by a SCS pincer ligand derived from a nicotinic acid mononucleotide. ...

Spectroscopy of 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) attached to rare gas samples: Clusters vs. bulk matrices. II. Fluorescence emission spectroscopy

Wolfgang Harbich, Alexandre Rydlo, Stefan Minniberger, Matthieu Dvorak

The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) molecules and solid rare gas samples is studied by means of fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Laser-excited PTCDA-doped large argon, neon, and para-hydrogen clusters along wi ...

Improving Protein Pharmacokinetics by Engineering Erythrocyte Affinity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Stephane Kontos

Poor pharmacokinetic profiles are often the underlying reason for the failure of novel protein drugs to reach clinical translation. Current passive half-life improvement methods focus on increasing the apparent hydrodynamic radius of the drug. We sought to ...

Synthesis of aza-C-disaccharides

Eliazar Rodriguez Garcia

Cell surface oligosaccharides control cell adhesion, fertilization, inflammation, the immune response and metastasis. Their biosynthesis implies sequences of reactions catalysed by glycosidases and glycosyltranferases. Inhibitors of these enzymes are there ...
