Thionated perylene diimide–phenothiazine dyad: synthesis, structure, and electrochemical studies (2018)
Journal Article
Pearce, N., Davies, E. S., Lewis, W., & Champness, N. R. (2018). Thionated perylene diimide–phenothiazine dyad: synthesis, structure, and electrochemical studies. ACS Omega, 3(10), 14236-14244. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.8b02457

Perylene diimides (PDIs) are promising candidates for n-type semiconductor materials and, thus, for use in organic electronics. Thionation of the imide moiety provides an efficient strategy to control the donor−acceptor gap of these types of compounds...

Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes (2018)
Journal Article
Sharpe, H. R., Geer, A. M., Taylor, L. J., Gridley, B. M., Blundell, T. J., Blake, A. J., Davies, E. S., Lewis, W., McMaster, J., Robinson, D., & Kays, D. L. (2018). Selective reduction and homologation of carbon monoxide by organometallic iron complexes. Nature Communications, 9, Article 3757. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-06242-w

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.

Influence of hydrogen-bonding interactions on nuclearity and structure of palladium tiara-like complexes (2018)
Journal Article
Martin, H. J., Pfeiffer, C. R., Davies, E. S., Davis, A. L., Lewis, W., & Champness, N. R. (2018). Influence of hydrogen-bonding interactions on nuclearity and structure of palladium tiara-like complexes. ACS Omega, 3(8), 8769-8776. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.8b01133

The role of intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions upon the nuclearity of palladium tiara-like complexes is reported herein. The synthesis of three palladium tiaras is described with three related thiolate ligands that vary in their hydrogen-bo...

Characterisation of redox states of metal-organic frameworks by growth on modified thin-film electrodes (2018)
Journal Article
Mitra, T., Moreau, F., Nevin, A., Perotto, C. U., Summerfield, A., Davies, E. S., Schröder, M., Gibson, E., & Easun, T. L. (in press). Characterisation of redox states of metal-organic frameworks by growth on modified thin-film electrodes. Chemical Science, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8SC00803E

The application of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials in electrochemical and electrochromic devices remain rare. One of the main reasons for this is the inability to readily access their detailed electrochemistry. The inherent insolubility of th...

Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases (2018)
Journal Article
Perotto, C. U., Sodipo, C. L., Jones, G. J., Tidey, J. P., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., Davies, E. S., McMaster, J., & Schröder, M. (in press). Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases. Inorganic Chemistry, 57(5), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b02905

The development of synthetic analogs of the active sites of [NiFe] hydrogenases remains challenging and, in spite of the number of complexes featuring a [NiFe] center, those featuring CO and CN− ligands at the Fe center are under-represented. We repo... Read More about Heterobimetallic [NiFe] complexes containing mixedCO/CN− ligands: analogs of the active site of the [NiFe]hydrogenases.
