Mapping Catalyst‐Solvent Interplay in Competing Carboamination/Cyclopropanation Reactions

Nicolai Cramer, Matthew Wodrich, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Miyeon Chang, Simone Gallarati

Group 9 metals, in particular Rh III complexes with cyclopentadienyl ligands, are competent C–H activation catalysts. Recently, a Cp*Rh III catalyzed reaction of alkenes with N -enoxyphthalimides showed divergent outcome based on the solvent, with carboami ...

Mediated water electrolysis in biphasic systems

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Lucie Josette Renée Rivier

The concept of efficient electrolysis by linking photoelectrochemical biphasic H2 evolution and water oxidation processes in the cathodic and anodic compartments of an H-cell, respectively, is introduced. Overpotentials at the cathode and anode are minimis ...

Tribocorrosion and electrochemical behaviour of nanocrystalline diamond coated Ti based alloys for orthopaedic application

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

Metallic implants such as hip and knee often fail due to the combined action of wear and corrosion. Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings on metallic implants can be a potential candidate to overcome this issue. In this work, we investigated the tribocorr ...

A β-Carbon elimination strategy for convenient in situ access to cyclopentadienyl metal complexes

Nicolai Cramer, Matthew Wodrich, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Benoît Daniel Bertrand Audic, Gints Smits

The electronic and steric properties of tailored cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands are powerful handles to modulate the catalytic properties of their metal complexes. This requires the individual preparation, purification and storage of each ligand/metal combi ...

Chiral Cyclopentadienyls: Enabling Ligands for Asymmetric Rh(III)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalizations

Nicolai Cramer, Baihua Ye

Transition-metal catalyzed C-H functionalizations became a complementary and efficient bond-forming strategy over the past decade. In this respect, Cp*Rh(III) complexes have emerged as powerful catalysts for a broad spectrum of reactions giving access to s ...

Iron Complexes for Hydrogen Activation and Catalytic Hydrogenation

Simona Mazza

Inspired by Nature several groups have developed structural and functional iron complexes mimicking the active site of the iron-hydrogenases, which show high reactivity in the H2 cleavage. Usually pendant bases have been incorporated onto families of Fe co ...

Chiral Cp-Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydroarylations of 1,1-Disubstituted Alkenes

Nicolai Cramer, Baihua Ye, Pavel Alexandrovich Donets

Metal-catalyzed functionalizations at the ortho position of a directing group have become an efficient bond-forming strategy. A wide range of transformations that employ Cp*Rh-III catalysts have been described, but despite their synthetic potential, enanti ...

Modulating the Steric, Electronic, and Catalytic Properties of Cp* Ruthenium Half-Sandwich Complexes with β-Diketiminato Ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Andrew Douglas Phillips, Katrin Anne Thommes, Dominique Schreiber

Five different types of β-diketiminate ligands, bearing electron-donating to strongly electron-withdrawing substituents, were synthesized and used in the synthesis of Cp* ruthenium complexes (Cp* = η5-C5Me5). One series consists of complexes with a covalen ...

Reactions of Alkynes with [RuCl(cyclopentadienyl)] Complexes: The Important First Steps

Rosario Scopelliti, Ursula Röthlisberger, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Basile Curchod, Pablo Campomanes Ramos, Barnali Dutta

Cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium half-sandwich complexes with 2-bound alkyne ligands have been suggested as catalytic intermediates in the early stages of Ru-catalyzed reactions with alkynes. We show that electronically unsaturated complexes of the formula [RuCl ...

Novel Ruthenium Complexes with Sterically Demanding Cyclopentadienyl Ligands : Syntheses, Reactivity and Catalytic Applications

Barnali Dutta

Investigations of ruthenium halfsandwich complexes have mostly focused on Cp and Cp* based derivatives due to the availability of easily accessible starting materials. However, it is interesting to have complexes with substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands i ...
