A large, symmetrically substituted triazine-based molecule, synthesized by a copper-free Sonogashira coupling procedure self-assembles to form a novel 1D channel structure that hosts chlorobenzene molecules as guests.

The Front Cover shows a public transportation map representing the synthetic trip from an aryl halide to heterocyclic diarylalkyne ligand. “multi-stop” route or conventional step-wise synthesis involves long reaction times and “stops” for isolation of intermediates. In contrast, reported “non-stop” via one-pot copper-free Sonogashira-type coupling is faster avoids formation Glaser products “acc...

The overview describes the industrial application of homogeneous catalysts for the chemical industry. In the first part, some theoretical background is given on organometallic complexes and homogeneous catalysis followed by a description of the prerequisites and current problems for their industrial application. Selected examples of industrially useful catalysts for the manufacture of bulk and ...

Versatile, iterative synthetic protocols to form expanded [n]radialenes have been developed (n=3 and 4), which allow for a variety of groups to be placed around the periphery of the macrocyclic framework. The successful use of the Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction to complete the final ring closure demonstrates the ability of this reaction to tolerate significant ring strain while producing m...

1-(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)-4-(phenylthio/selenomethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole (L1/L2) was synthesized by a 'Click' reaction and treated with [Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2] for 5 h or [(η(6)-C6H6)RuCl(μ-Cl)]2 for 8 h (followed by reaction with NH4PF6) at room temperature, resulting in complexes [Pd(L)Cl2] (1 and 2) or [(η(6)-C6H6)Ru(L)Cl]PF6 (3 and 4) (L = L1 or L2), respectively. The four complexes (1-4) and ligand...

Introduction The discovery of the conductive properties of conjugated organic polymers in the late 1970s initiated intense investigations of their synthesis, chemistry and physical properties. Today, they are widely studied for various applications, e.g. optoelectronics in displays or organic solar cells. Beyond academic interest in the generation and properties of unusual nanostructures, nanop...

Considerable efforts have been undertaken by numerous groups in academia and industry over the past decade to expand the repertoire of coupling reagents in palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. In particular, alkenyl phosphates and tosylates have proven their worth in various cross-coupling reactions, such as the Stille, Suzuki, 3] Negishi, Kumada, Sonogashira, b,e,f,5] Buchwald–Hart...
