Mechanistic investigations of the Fe(ii) mediated synthesis of squaraines (2024)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Coles, N. T., Cajiao, N., Taylor, L. J., Davies, E. S., Barbour, A., …Kays, D. L. (2024). Mechanistic investigations of the Fe(ii) mediated synthesis of squaraines. Chemical Science, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4SC01286K

The scission and homologation of CO is a fundamental process in the Fischer–Tropsch reaction. However, given the heterogeneous nature of the catalyst and forcing reaction conditions, it is difficult to determine the intermediates of this reaction. He...

Highly selective, reversible water activation by P,N-cooperativity in pyridyl-functionalized phosphinines (2024)
Journal Article
Kopp, R. O., Kleynemeyer, S. L., Groth, L. J., Ernst, M. J., Rupf, S. M., Weber, M., …Müller, C. (2024). Highly selective, reversible water activation by P,N-cooperativity in pyridyl-functionalized phosphinines. Chemical Science, 15, 5496-5506. https://doi.org/10.1039/d3sc05930h

Tetrapyridyl-functionalized phosphinines were prepared and structurally characterized. The donor-functionalized aromatic phosphorus heterocycles react highly selectively and even reversibly with water. Calculations reveal P,N-cooperativity for this p...
