The ongoing study is a Ugi-azide four-component reaction for the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted tetrazole(1,5-DST), which involves an aldehyde, different amines, isocyanides, and as azide’s source Trimethylsilylazide (TMSN3), in water solvent using catalyst tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) with load (10% mole), provides hydrophobic micellar site. This approach step toward green chemis...

Despite extensive structural dissimilarities, iron . bleomycin complexes and heme-containing oxygenases display remarkable similarities in binding oxygen antagonists and in spectral properties deriving from bound iron. Fe(II)-bleomycin reversibly forms a complex with either CO or isocyanide (lambda max = 384 and 497 nm, respectively), either of which interfere with its oxygen-dependent cleavage...

The bis-(1,1-dimethylethylisocyanide) (tert-butylisocyanide) complexes of three iron porphyrinates (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, OETPP; 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octamethyl-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, OMTPP; and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-tetra-beta,beta'-tetramethylene-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, TC(6)TPP) have been prepared and studied by EPR and (1)H NMR spectr...

Design and measurements of molecular wires, switches, and memories offer an increased device capability with reduced elements. We report: Measurements on through-bond electronic transport properties of nanoscale metal-1,4-phenylene diisocyanide-metal junctions are reported, where nonohmic thermionic emission is the dominant process, with isocyanide-Pd showing the lowest thermionic barrier of 0....

The present work provides a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study of the vibrational circular dichroism of (S)-α-phenylethyl isocyanide in chloroform. The structure in solution is investigated systematically by density functional theory calculations starting from the isolated molecule and then by considering solvent effects implicitly using the PCM and explicitly by taking into accou...

The coordination chemistry of 1,1'-diisocyanoferrocene (1) was investigated. Its reaction with Cr(CO)5(THF) (2 equiv) affords (1)[Cr(CO)5]2, which exhibits eclipsed cyclopentadienyl rings with a synclinal arrangement of the two substituents. 1 behaves like an aryl isocyanide in this compound according to IR spectroscopic data, and its oxidation leads to a marked decrease of net electron donor a...

The methyl–amide complex [TaCp*(NBu)Me(NMe2)] (1a) was isolated by reaction of the chloro–methyl [TaCp*(NBu)MeCl] complex with LiNMe2. Reaction of the mono-amide compounds [TaCp*(N Bu)XY] (X=NMe2, Y=Me (1a); X=NHBu, Y=Me (1b), Cl (1c)) with CO2 gives the h-carbamate derivatives [TaCp*(NBu)(h-O2CX)Y] (X=NMe2, Y=Me (2a); X=NHBu, Y=Me (2b), Cl (2c)). A similar reaction with the di-amide complex [T...
