A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI” (2020)
Journal Article

The reaction between a two-coordinate Co(II) diaryl complex and “GaI” affords 2,6-Pmp2C6H3CoGa3I5, in a new geometry for a heavier group 13-transition metal cluster. Experimental and computational investigations show that this compound is best descri... Read More about A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI”.

Influence of molecular design on radical spin multiplicity: characterisation of BODIPY dyad and triad radical anions (2020)
Journal Article

This journal is © the Owner Societies. A strategy to create organic molecules with high degrees of radical spin multiplicity is reported in which molecular design is correlated with the behaviour of radical anions in a series of BODIPY dyads. Upon re... Read More about Influence of molecular design on radical spin multiplicity: characterisation of BODIPY dyad and triad radical anions.

Corrigendum: A Highly Active Bidentate Magnesium Catalyst for Amine‐Borane Dehydrocoupling: Kinetic and Mechanistic Studies (2020)
Journal Article

In the published paper, we described the attempted synthesis of Me2NH⋅BD3, according to the method published by Webster et al., which in our hands afforded a mixture of Me2NH⋅BH3 and Me2NH⋅BD3. We would like to clarify that in the paper Webster et al...

Iron(II)-catalyzed hydroamination of isocyanates (2019)
Journal Article

A two-coordinate Fe(II) m-terphenyl complex acts as a precatalyst for the hydroamination of isocyanates, affording urea and biuret derivatives, with product selectivity accomplished via modification of the reaction conditions. Using a more nucleophil... Read More about Iron(II)-catalyzed hydroamination of isocyanates.

Low-coordinate first-row transition metal complexes in catalysis and small molecule activation (2019)
Journal Article

Enforcing unusually low coordination numbers on transition metals with sterically demanding ligands has long been an area of interest for chemists. Historically, the synthesis of these challenging molecules has helped to elucidate fundamental princip...

A Highly Active Bidentate Magnesium Catalyst for Amine‐Borane Dehydrocoupling: Kinetic and Mechanistic Studies (2019)
Journal Article

A magnesium complex (1) featuring a bidentate aminopyridinato ligand is a remarkably selective catalyst for the dehydrocoupling of amine-boranes. This reaction proceeds to completion with low catalyst loadings (1 mol%) und...

Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes (2018)
Journal Article

Carbon monoxide is a key C1 feedstock for the industrial production of hydrocarbons, where it is used to make millions of tonnes of chemicals, fuels, and solvents per annum. Many transition metal complexes can coordinate CO2 but the formation of new... Read More about Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes.

Dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane mediated by Group 1 pincer complexes (2018)
Journal Article

Group 1 salts containing carbazolido NNN pincer ligands are precatalysts for the dehydrogenation of Me2NH·BH3. NMR monitoring and DOSY studies show a heavy dependence on the metal and solvent, allowing in some cases selective formation of dehydrogena...

Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes (2017)
Journal Article

Two- and three-coordinate manganese m-terphenyl complexes are precatalysts for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane (Me2NH·BH3) affording one equivalent of molecular hydrogen and half an equivalent of [Me2N–BH2]2. Experimental studies into the... Read More about Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes.

Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The first transition metal catalyzed hydrophosphination of isocyanates is presented. The use of low-coordinate iron(II) precatalysts leads to an unprecedented catalytic double insertion of isocyanat... Read More about Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates.
