Hydration of terminal alkynes catalyzed by a water-soluble salen-Co(III) complex

Alternating copolymerization of carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide catalyzed by salen CoIII(acetate) complexes

A series of CoIII carboxylate based upon N,N,O,O-tetradentate Schiff base ligand framework have been prepared. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that these Schiff base CoIII carboxylate are all monomeric species with a six-coordinated central Co in their solid structures. The activities and polycarbonate selectivity of these complexes toward the copolymerization of epoxide (cyclohexene oxide ...

Mild chemo-selective hydration of terminal alkynes catalysed by AgSbF6.

The chemo-selective hydration of a wide range of non-activated terminal alkynes catalysed by AgSbF(6) under mild conditions is reported.

Hydration of epoxides on [CoIII salen)] encapsulated in silica-based nanoreactors.

Electrochemical-driven water reduction catalyzed by a water soluble cobalt(III) complex with Schiff base ligand

A new molecular catalyst based on cobalt complex [LCoCl] (1) is formed by the reaction of N, N-dimethylethylenediamino-N,N-bis(2,4-dimethyl) phenol (H2L) with CoCl2 6H2O for electrolytic water reduction. To our knowledge 1 is by far the most active electrocatalyst for hydrogen generation from water with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 2744 mol of hydrogen per mole of catalyst per hour at an overp...

Rhodium-catalyzed (E)-selective cross-dimerization of terminal alkynes.

Cross-dimerization of various terminal alkynes with different bulky terminal alkynes such as triisopropylsilylacetylene and 1-trimethylsilyloxy-1,1-diphenyl-2-propyne efficiently proceeds in the presence of a rhodium catalyst system to produce the corresponding (E)-enynes with high regio- and stereoselectivity.
