effects of imidazoles and substituted pyridines and pure s-donors on the oxidation of cyclooctene with naio4 by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tpp)oac, and 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tmp)oac, catalysts in ch2cl2-h2o solvent are studied. coordination of the nitrogen donors to the mn-catalysts generally caused a reduction in the e...

The Ru(II) atom in the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(15)H(10))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]·2C(4)H(8)O, has a distorted square-pyramidal conformation. The P and Cl atoms are at the base of the pyramid and the Ru-C(indenyl-idene) bond is in the axial position. The two Cl ligands and the two phosphane ligands are in trans positions. The Cl-Ru-Cl and P-Ru-P angles are 157.71 (2) and 166.83 (2)°, respectively. Th...

Sterically crowded diimine ligands with five aryl rings were prepared in one step in good yields using a micro-flow technique. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the detailed structure of the bulky ligands. The nickel complexes prepared from the ligands exerted high polymerization activity in the ethylene homopolymerization and copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers.

This study presents a new reaction of cationic vinylidene complexes with Me₃SiN₃ (TMSN₃), which yields N-coordinated nitrile complexes 3. Treatment of a ruthenium acetylide precursor containing indenyl and dppe ligands with a series of organic halides produced the corresponding vinylidene complexes 2 in good yield. Further reaction of 2 with TMSN₃ at room temperature produced N-coordinated ruth...

The stereospecific hydrolysis of bulky aminophosphine boranes is reported for the first time. The resulting phosphinous acid boranes, upon activation, undergo stereospecific nucleophilic substitution reaction at the phosphorous center with amine nucleophiles. The combination of these two processes provides a novel access to bulky P*-ligands.

Framework Ti-substituted, 3-D hexagonal mesoporous, Ti-SBA-12, obtained for the first time by direct hydrothermal synthesis, oxidises bulky molecules such as cyclohexene and cyclooctene to the epoxides with >96% selectivity at high conversion levels (>60%).

Three new Au(I) complexes of the formula [Au(NHC)(NTf2)] (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) bearing bulky and flexible ligands have been synthesised. The ligands studied are IPent, IHept and INon which belong to the 'ITent' ('Tent' for 'tentacular') family of NHC derivatives. The effect of these ligands in gold-promoted transformations has been investigated.

Although various complex, bulky ligands have been used to functionalize plasmonic gold nanoparticles, introducing them to small, atomically precise gold clusters is not trivial. Here, we demonstrate a simple one-pot procedure to synthesize fluorescent magic number Au25 clusters carrying controlled amounts of bulky calix[4]arene functionalities. These clusters are obtained from a synthesis feed ...

Bulky 4-tritylphenylethynyl substituted boradiazaindacene with pure red emission, relatively large Stokes shift, high fluorescence quantum yield, and low self-quenching was efficiently synthesized and qualified as a potential EL dopant.
