Reactions of polyaromatic molecules in crystals under electron beam of the transmission electron microscope (2022)
Journal Article

Reactivity of a series of related molecules under the 80 keV electron beam have been investigated and correlated with their structures and chemical composition. Hydrogenated and halogenated derivatives of hexaazatrinaphthylene, coronene, and phthaloc...

Catalysis enabled synthesis, structures, and reactivities of fluorinated S8-corona[n]arenes (n = 8–12) (2022)
Journal Article

Previously inaccessible large S8-corona[n]arene macrocycles (n = 8-12) with alternating aryl and 1,4-C6F4 subunits are easily prepared on up to gram scales, without the need for chromatography (up to 45% yield, 10 different examples) through new high...

Slow magnetic relaxation in Fe(ii) m-terphenyl complexes (2022)
Journal Article

Two-coordinate transition metal complexes are exciting candidates for single-molecule magnets (SMMs) because their highly axial coordination environments lead to sizeable magnetic anisotropy. We report a series of five structurally related two-coordi... Read More about Slow magnetic relaxation in Fe(ii) m-terphenyl complexes.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution over micro and mesoporous cobalt metal-organic frameworks (2022)
Journal Article

The development of water electrolysis devices is crucial for the sustainable production of green hydrogen fuel. However, the slow kinetics and high overpotential are key shortfalls for hydrogen production during the half-cell hydrogen evolution react...

Bismuth-Mediated α-Arylation of Acidic Diketones with ortho-Substituted Boronic Acids (2022)
Journal Article

The α-arylation of cyclic and fluoroalkyl 1,3-diketones is made challenging by the highly stabilized nature of the corresponding enolates, and is especially difficult for sterically demanding aryl partners. As a general solution to this problem, we r... Read More about Bismuth-Mediated α-Arylation of Acidic Diketones with ortho-Substituted Boronic Acids.

A Coordination Network Featuring Two Distinct Copper(II) Coordination Environments for Highly Selective Acetylene Adsorption (2022)
Journal Article

Single crystals of 2D coordination network {Cu2L2 ⋅ (DMF)3(H2O)3}n (1-DMF) were prepared by reaction of commercial reagents 3-formyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (H2L) and Cu(NO3)2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). The single-crystal structure shows two distinct... Read More about A Coordination Network Featuring Two Distinct Copper(II) Coordination Environments for Highly Selective Acetylene Adsorption.

Synthesis of New Morphinan Opioids by TBADT‐Catalyzed Photochemical Functionalization at the Carbon Skeleton (2022)
Journal Article

The synthesis of new morphinan opioids by the addition of photochemically generated carbon-centered radicals to substrates containing an enone in the morphinan C-ring, is described. Using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate (TBADT) as a hydrogen atom tr... Read More about Synthesis of New Morphinan Opioids by TBADT‐Catalyzed Photochemical Functionalization at the Carbon Skeleton.

Structural and Electronic Studies of Substituted m-Terphenyl Group 12 Complexes (2022)
Journal Article

The effects of para-substitution on the structural and electronic properties of four series of two-coordinate m-terphenyl Group 12 complexes (R-Ar#)2M (M = Zn, Cd, Hg; R = t-Bu 1-3, SiMe34-6, Cl 7-9, CF310-12, where R-Ar#= 2,6-{2,6-Xyl}2-4-R-C6H2and...

Calcium coordination compounds of anionic forms of hydrogen dipicolinate and quinolinate: synthesis, characterization, crystal structures and DFT studies (2022)
Journal Article

Two calcium coordination compounds [Ca(2,6-Hpdc)2(H2O)2] 1 and [Ca2(2,3-pdc)2(H2O)6]n2 (where 2,6-H2pdc = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and 2,3-H2pdc = 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) were grown at room temperature. The compounds were characterized us...

Gold(I)-Catalyzed Nucleophilic Allylation of Azinium Ions with Allylboronates (2022)
Journal Article

Gold(I)-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of pyridinium and quinolinium ions with allylboronates are reported. Transmetalation of the allylboronate with gold produces nucleophilic allylgold(I) species that add to the 4-position of the azinium ion wi...

A Mixed‐Addenda Mo/W Organofunctionalised Hybrid Polyoxometalate (2022)
Journal Article

Substitution of metal addenda was explored as a method to modulate the electronic structure of organofunctionalised hybrid polyoxometalate clusters. Here we study the effects of Mo substitution into a W-based cluster. Through a range of spectroscopic... Read More about A Mixed‐Addenda Mo/W Organofunctionalised Hybrid Polyoxometalate.

Selective photoinduced charge separation in perylenediimide-pillar[5]arene rotaxanes (2022)
Journal Article

The ability to control photoinduced charge transfer within molecules represents a major challenge requiring precise control of the relative positioning and orientation of donor and acceptor groups. Here we show that such photoinduced charge transfer... Read More about Selective photoinduced charge separation in perylenediimide-pillar[5]arene rotaxanes.
