Synthesis and Reactivity of an Anionic Diazoolefin
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Bastiaan Kooij, Zhaowen Dong
Bent (hetero)allenes such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes can act as neutral C-donor ligands, and diverse applications in coordination chemistry have been reported. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins are heterocumulenes, which can function in a similar ...
2023A Route to Stabilize Uranium(II) and Uranium(I) Synthons in Multimetallic Complexes
Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic
Herein, we report the redox reactivity of a multimetallic uranium complex supported by triphenylsiloxide (−OSiPh3) ligands, where we show that low valent synthons can be stabilized via an unprecedented mechanism involving intramolecular ligand migration. T ...
2023Multiple Surface Site Three-Dimensional Structure Determination of a Supported Molecular Catalyst
Moreno Lelli, Pierrick Berruyer, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan, Zhuoran Wang
The structural characterization of supported molecular catalysts is challenging due to the low density of active sites and the presence of several organic/organometallic surface groups resulting from the often complex surface chemistry associated with supp ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2022Vanadium complexes with N-heterocyclic vinylidene ligands
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Laura Piveteau, Bastiaan Kooij, Zhaowen Dong, Paul Varava
The preparation and the structural characterization of vanadium complexes with terminal and bridging N-heterocyclic vinylidene ligands is reported. The synthesis of the complexes was enabled by utilization of diazoolefins as ligand precursors. Structural d ...
2022Synthesis, structural characterization, and coordination chemistry of imidazole-based alkylidene ketenes
Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Paul Varava, Wolfram Feuerstein
Alkylidene ketenes typically display high intrinsic reactivity, impeding isolation on a preparative scale. Herein, we report the synthesis of alkylidene ketenes by reaction of imidazole-based diazoolefins with carbon monoxide. The good thermal stability of ...
2021Structure and Reactivity of N-Heterocyclic Alkynyl Hypervalent Iodine Reagents
Rosario Scopelliti, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Matthew Wodrich, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du
Ethynylbenziodoxol(on)e (EBX) cyclic hypervalent iodine reagents have become popular reagents for the alkynylation of radicals and nucleophiles, but only offer limited possibilities for further structure and reactivity fine-tuning. Herein, the synthesis of ...
2021Synthetic methodologies for C-C and C-N bond formation involving alkyl radicals
C-C and C-N bonds are some of the most common structures in molecules ranging from drugs to catalysts and to food additives. Many coupling reactions were developed to form these types of bonds with excellent selectivity and good performance. Still, the syn ...
EPFL2020Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl electrophiles via nickel hydride catalysis
Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera
Cross-coupling of two alkyl fragments is an efficient method to produce organic molecules rich in sp(3)-hybridized carbon centres, which are attractive candidate compounds in drug discovery. Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) coupling is challenging, espec ...
