Pivotal Role of the Basic Character of Organic and Salt Catalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Organocatalysts promote a range of C-N bond forming reactions of amines with CO2. Herein, we review these reactions and attempt to identify the unifying features of the catalysts that allows them to promote a multitude of seemingly unrelated reactions. Ana ...

Specific Ion Effects at the Interface of Nanometer-Sized Droplets in Water: Structure and Stability

Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali

The interaction of ions with interfaces influences numerous processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, while different ion species behave differently at hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces. Despite its importance, ion specificity and its relation to s ...

Leaching from Palladium Nanoparticles in an Ionic Liquid Leads to the Formation of Ionic Monometallic Species

Paul Joseph Dyson

Molecular dynamics simulations and DFT calculations suggest that leaching of palladium species from Pd nanoparticles in ionic liquids does not involve "naked" Pd(0) atoms or neutral ArPdX species formed by oxidative addition of arylhalides. Instead, the io ...

The Intricate Chemistry of Cobalt(II) Halides and Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Heron Vrubel, Gregor Kiefer

Phosphane complexes of the putative formula [CoX2(dppe)] [X = Cl, Br, I; dppe = bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane] are frequently used catalyst precursors in cobalt-catalyzed reactions. Despite their widespread use, these complexes have not been structurally c ...

Extraordinarily efficient conduction in a redox-active ionic liquid

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Guido Rothenberger, Verner Thorsmolle

Iodine added to iodide-based ionic liquids leads to extraordi- narily efficient charge transport, vastly exceeding that expect- ed for such viscous systems. Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, in conjunction with dc conductivity, diffusivity and visc ...

Crystallisation of inorganic salts containing 18-crown-6 from ionic liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Gabor Laurenczy, Zhaofu Fei, Ning Yan

Reaction of the zwitterionic imidazolium salt [(CH2COOH)(CH2COO)i.m.] with K2CO3 or BaO in the presence of 18-crown-6 affords the salts [(CH2COO)2i.m.][K(18-crown-6)] and [(CH2COO)2i.m.]2[Ba(18-crown-6)]. Recrystn. of these crown complexes from the ionic l ...

simple physical model for the simultaneous rationalisation of melting points and heat capacities of ionic liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson

The anal. of potential energy surfaces of ion pairs within the framework of an anharmonic oscillator model allows rationalization and prediction of m.ps. (Tmp) and heat capacities (Cp) of ionic liqs. (ILs) comprising di- and trialkylimidazolium or tetraalk ...

Tetraalkylammonium Salts of Weakly Coordinating Aluminates: Ionic Liquids, Materials for Electrochemical Applications and Useful Compounds for Anion Investigation

Michael Graetzel, Mingkui Wang, Ines Raabe

In this study, we investigated the tetraalkylammonium salts of the weakly coordinating fluorinated alkoxyaluminates pftb (Al(O(C(CF3)(3))(4)) hfip (Al(OC(H)-(CF3)(2))(4)) and hftb (Al(OC(CH3)(-) (CF3)(2))(4)) in order to obtai ...

Exploring the potential of europium(III) luminescence for the detection of phase transitions in ionic liquid crystals

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Frédéric Gumy, Joël Kocher

The ionic liquid crystal [C12-mim]Cl has been doped with 5 mol% europium nitrate and the photophysical properties of both the ionic liquid and the trivalent europium ion have been monitored with respect to temperature in the range of 248 to +120 uC. The re ...

Heterogeneous dehalogenation of arylhalides in the presence of ionic liquids

Gabor Laurenczy

Dehydrohalogenation of haloaromatics in ionic liquids derived from ethylmethylimidazolium or similar salts has been performed using Pd-C, Pd(OAc)2 and other catalysts using formate salts as a hydrogen source. In the ionic liquid [emim][BF4< ...

Switching the Mechanism of Catalyst Activation by Ionic Liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson, Corinne Daguenet

In ionic liqs. (ILs), the activation of a ruthenium(II) catalyst precursor occurs via an unexpected mechanism, which is different from the activation mechanism that takes place in water. The effectiveness of a biphasic catalytic hydrogenation reaction usin ...

Structure of nitrile-functionalized alkyltrifluoroborate salts

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Zhaofu Fei, Dongbin Zhao

Two nitrile-functionalized alkyltriflouroborate anion based complexes [(Ph3P)(2)N][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] and [K(18-crown-6)][CH3CH(BF3)CH2CN] were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and single X-ray diffraction analysis. In the former comple ...

Searching for molecular arene hydrogenation catalysis in ionic liquids

Paul Joseph Dyson

Arene hydrogenation by homogeneous catalysts is a highly controversial area of research, with many of the mononuclear complexes shown to catalyse the reaction, being found to be pre-catalysts to nanoparticles, on closer examination. The solvent properties ...
