New unsymmetrical trans-stilbenes have been prepared by the sequential coupling reactions of bromobenzenesulfonate with formylarylboronic acids, benzylphosphonates and arylmagnesium bromides and characterized. The nickel-catalyzed reactions of stilbenesulfonates with aryl Grignard reagents produced the corresponding stilbenes via the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of the neopentyloxysulfony...

Cp*-Ir(III) complexes with additional chelating ligands are known active pre-catalysts for the oxygenation of C-H bonds. We present here eight examples of such complexes where the denticity of the chelating ligands has been varied from the well-known 2,2'-bpy through pyridyl-triazole, bi-triazole to ligands containing pyridyl-triazolylidene, triazolyl-triazolylidene and bi-triazolylidenes. Addi...

metal complexes, ml (m=ni, cu, co and zn) of unsymmetrical tetradentate schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of the half-units n-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine)(hl1) with 2-pyrroleca-rbaldehyde. the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, ir, 1h nmr and uv spectroscopy. the crystal structure of the ni(ii) complex has been determine...

The energy performance and radial force of a mixed flow pump with symmetrical and unsymmetrical tip clearance are investigated in this paper. As the tip clearance increases, the pump head and efficiency both decrease. The center of the radial force on the principal axis is located at the coordinate origin when the tip clearance is symmetrical, and moves to the third quadrant when the tip cleara...

A novel way of synthesizing unsymmetrical disulfides from thiols with DDQ is presented here. This procedure ran in a straightforward manner to give high product yields. Unsymmetrical disulfides were directly synthesized from the corresponding mixture of thiols in equimolar amounts under mild conditions. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Two new cobalt(II) complexes with an unsymmetrical bidentate ligand, 2-(1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-yl)-6-methoxyphenol (H2mthp), were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Tetra- hexa-coordinate mononuclear selectively obtained by adjusting the stoichiometry of base. The coordination geometry hexa-coordinated complex was severely distorted from ideal octahedron, due to NO5 envi...
