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., …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.

Dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane mediated by Group 1 pincer complexes (2018)
Journal Article
Nolla-Saltiel, R., Geer, A. M., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., & Kays, D. L. (2018). Dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane mediated by Group 1 pincer complexes. Chemical Communications, 54(15), https://doi.org/10.1039/c7cc08385h

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...
