Photocatalytic CO 2 Reductions Catalyzed by meso ‐(1,10‐Phenanthrolin‐2‐yl)‐Porphyrins Having a Rhenium(I) Tricarbonyl Complex

Copper complex catalyzed asymmetric monosulfonylation of meso-vic-diols

Photoinduced CO release, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of a tris(pyrazolyl)methane (tpm) manganese tricarbonyl complex.

Cell viability studies of HT29 colon cancer cells treated with the CO-releasing compound [Mn(CO)(3)(tpm)]PF(6) revealed a significant photoinduced cytotoxicity comparable to that of established agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), while controls kept in the dark were unaffected at up to 100 microM.

Guanidine-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-aziridines.

An amino-indanol derived chiral guanidine was developed as an efficient Brønsted base catalyst for the desymmetrization of meso-aziridines with both thiols and carbamodithioic acids as nucleophiles, which provided 1,2-difunctionalized ring-opened products in high yields and enantioselectivities.

Mechanistic study of CO/CO2 conversion catalyzed by a biomimetic Ni(II)iminothiolate complex

Funding information AFOSR, Grant/Award Number: FA9550-170198; National Science Foundation, Grant/ Award Number: CNS08-21132; NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Grant/Award Number: DGE-1122492 Abstract We investigate the CO oxidation into CO2 catalyzed by a biomimetic Ni(II)-iminothiolate complex in the presence of the sacrificial oxidizing agent methylviologen. We propose a catalytic mechanism s...

Synthesis of a Brominated Biphenyl Chromium Tricarbonyl Complex

Hydroxycarbene complexes have been proposed as intermediates in industrial processes such as the Fischer-Tropsch process and hydroformylation. As part of the overall synthesis of an aryltethered version of a chromium hydroxycarbene complex we have examined three synthetic routes toward the brominated biphenyl chromium tricarbonyl compound (η-2’-bromobiphenyl)Cr(CO)3, which is an immediate precu...
