Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes (2017)
Journal Article
Sharpe, H. R., Geer, A. M., Blundell, T. J., Hastings, F. R., Fay, M. W., Rance, G. A., …Kays, D. L. (in press). Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes. Catalysis Science and Technology, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/C7CY02086D

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
Sharpe, H. R., Geer, A. M., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., & Kays, D. L. (2017). Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 56(17), 4845-4848. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201701051

© 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.

1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions (2017)
Journal Article
Birchall, C., Bradley, M. A., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., Moxey, G. J., & Kays, D. L. (2017). 1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions. Dalton Transactions, 46(12), 4101-4110. https://doi.org/10.1039/c7dt00471k

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. The reactions between magnesium or zinc alkyls and 1,8-bis(triorganosilyl)diaminonaphthalenes afford the 1,8-bis(triorganosilyl)diamidonaphthalene complexes with elimination of alkanes. The reaction between 1,8-C10H6... Read More about 1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions.
