A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI” (2020)
Journal Article
Blundell, T. J., Taylor, L. J., Valentine, A. J., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., McMaster, J., & Kays, D. L. (2020). A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI”. Chemical Communications, 56(58), 8139-8142. https://doi.org/10.1039/d0cc03559a

The reaction between a two-coordinate Co(II) diaryl complex and “GaI” affords 2,6-Pmp2C6H3CoGa3I5, in a new geometry for a heavier group 13-transition metal cluster. Experimental and computational investigations show that this compound is best descri... Read More about A transition metal–gallium cluster formed via insertion of “GaI”.

The enantioselective synthesis of densely functionalized polycarbocycles by the rhodium(I)-catalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with 1,3-diketones is described. The key step in these desymmetrizing domino addition–cyclization reactions is an alken...
