A Diels–Alder Reaction Triggered by a [4 + 3] Metallacycloaddition
(American Chemical Society, 2015)
The TpMe2Ir(III) complex 1-OH2 (TpMe2 = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate), which contains a labile molecule of water and an iridium-bonded alkenyl moiety (−C(R)═C(R)–(R=CO2Me)) as part of a benzo-annulated five-membered ...

Hydroboration of carbon dioxide with catechol- and pinacolborane using an Ir–CNP* pincer complex. Water influence on the catalytic activity
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
Iridium complexes based on deprotonated lutidine-derived CNP* pincers 2a/2b selectively catalyzed the hydroboration of CO2 under mild conditions (1–2 bar CO2, 30 °C) to methoxyborane using HBcat (TOF up to 56 h−1 ) and ...

Hydrogenation of an iridium-coordinated imidazol-2-ylidene ligand fragment
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
An iridium complex featuring a metalated lutidine-derived CNP ligand reacts with KOt Bu to yield a dimeric species with the two metal centers bound to the opposite ligands through the CHN arms. Furthermore, reaction ...

Tuning Activity and Selectivity during Alkyne Activation by Gold(I)/Platinum(0) Frustrated Lewis Pairs
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
Introducing transition metals into frustrated Lewis pair systems has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Here we report a selection of three metal-only frustrated systems based on Au(I)/Pt(0) combinations and ...

Double asymmetric hydrogenation of conjugated dienes: a self-breeding chirality route for C2 symmetric 1,4-diols
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019)
The synthesis and double asymmetric hydrogenation of (Z,Z)-1,3- diene-1,4-diyl diacetates is described. In this reaction C2/meso ratios up to 85 : 15 and enantioselectivities up to 97% ee have been achieved. As the ...

Selective reduction of carbon dioxide to bis(silyl)acetal catalyzed by a PBP-supported nickel complex
(American Chemical Society, 2016)
Selective reduction of CO2 to the formaldehyde level remains an important challenge and to date only a few catalysts have been developed for this reaction. Herein, we report an efficient catalyst that consists of a ...

Evidence for Genuine Bimetallic Frustrated Lewis Pair Activation of Dihydrogen with Gold(I)/Platinum(0) Systems
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
A joint experimental/computational effort to elucidate the mechanism of dihydrogen activation by a gold(I)/platinum(0) metal-only frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) is described herein. The drastic effects on H2 activation derived ...
Article
Metal-only Lewis Pairs of Rhodium with s, p and d-Block Metals
(Wiley, 2020)
Metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) in which the two metal fragments are solely connected by a dative M→M bond represent privileged architectures to acquire fundamental understanding of bimetallic bonding. This has important ...
