Structural diversity and magnetic properties of copper(ii) quinaldinate compounds with amino alcohols
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
The reactions between [Cu(quin)2(H2O)] (quin− = the anionic form of quinoline-2-carboxylic acid) and a series of aliphatic amino alcohols have yielded structurally very diverse copper(II) complexes, labelled a–g. Single-crystal ...

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 ...

Ir-Catalyzed Atroposelective Desymmetrization of Heterobiaryls: Hydroarylation of Vinyl Ethers and Bicycloalkenes
(American Chemical Society, 2020)
A highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective, scalable Ir-catalyzed hydroarylation of electron-rich acyclic and tensioned cyclic olefins with heterobiaryls is described. The reaction of acyclic vinyl ethers, dihydrofuran, ...

From cyclic amines and acetonitrile to amidine zinc(II) complexes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
A seemingly simple combination of [Zn(quin)2(H2O)] (quin− = quinaldinate) and a selected secondary cyclic amine, piperidine (pipe), pyrrolidine (pyro) or morpholine (morph), afforded in acetonitrile a number of products: ...

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 ...

Metalated Ir–CNP Complexes Containing Imidazolin-2-ylidene and Imidazolidin-2-ylidene Donors – Synthesis, Structure, Luminescence, and Metal–Ligand Cooperative Reactivity
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
The iridium complex 1 based on a metalated CNP ligand containing an imidazolin-2-ylidene fragment has been prepared by treatment of the ligand precursor 4 with Ag2O followed by reaction with [IrCl(COE)2]2. The chlorohydride ...

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 ...
Article
A Genuine Germylene PGeP Pincer Ligand for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation with Iridium
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
We report an iridium system constructed around a long-tethered PGeP ligand that facilitates access to the less common germylene form, so far unreported for an ‘NHC-type’ Ge ligand. Its bonding is substantiated by computational ...
Article
Mechanism of Dihydrogen Splitting by An Apparent Bimetallic Frustrated Lewis Pair based on Ir(III)/Pt(0)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)
The incorporation of transition metals into frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) offers multiple opportunities for bond activation and catalysis. In this work, we explore the combination of the Lewis acidic Ir(III) cation ...
