The heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts can be achieved by immobilization, grafting, anchoring or encapsulating them in an inert solid like organic polymer or inorganic support. Transition metal complexes having good catalytic properties are immobilized through encapsulation in the super cages of zeolites is called zeolite encapsulated metal complexes (ZEMC) or ship-in-the-bottle complexe...

Association of enantiopure TRISPHAT anion (1) with chiral spiro [Cu(LL')2] complexes (LL' = 2-R-phen, 2, 6-R-bpy, 3, and 2-iminopyridine, 4) leads to an efficient NMR enantiodifferentiation. Variable temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy has been used to determine the isomerisation kinetics of these pseudo-tetrahedral complexes and to evaluate their configurational stability; the latter depending on ...

We explored the reaction mechanism of the cationic rhodium(I)–BINAP complex catalysed isomerisation of allylic amines using the artificial force induced reaction method with the global reaction route mapping strategy, which enabled us to search for various reaction paths without assumption of transition states. The entire reaction network was reproduced in the form of a graph, and reasonable pa...

Unsaturated [Tp(Me2)Ir(III)] fragments, readily generated from compounds [Tp(Me2)Ir(C(6)H(5))(2)(N(2))], (1a) and [Tp(Me2)Ir(η(4)-CH(2)=C(Me)C(Me)=CH(2)] (1b) (Tp(Me2) = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), induce the isomerisation of the polypyridines, 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2':6'2''-terpyridine, to form complexes that contain the carbene tautomer of these ligands. For ...

The aza-Michael addition is a versatile reaction for the modification of ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with amines. reactivity dimethyl itaconate as bio-based Michael acceptor explored in this work. Through its reactions piperidine and dibutylamine, it was found that order can be changed by choice catalyst, solvent, or concentration amine reactant. effectiveness catalysts proportional to t...
