Recent Advances in Group 14 and 15 Lewis Acids for Frustrated Lewis Pair Chemistry

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP) which rely on the cooperative action of Lewis acids and Lewis bases, played a prominent role in the advancement of main-group catalysis. While the early days of FLP chemistry witnessed the dominance of boranes, there is a growi ...

Investigating Tetrel-Based Neutral Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Hydrogen Activation

Shubhajit Das

Tetrel Lewis acids are a prospective alternative to commonly employed neutral boranes in frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) chemistry. While cationic tetrylium Lewis acids, being isolobal and iso(valence)electronic, are a natural replacement to boranes, neutral t ...

Bronsted and Lewis acid adducts of triazenes

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Iris Roswitha Landman, Frederick Mark Chadwick

The synthetic utility of triazenes rests on the fact that the triazene function can be cleaved by BrOnsted or Lewis acids, liberating diazonium compounds. However, the preferred coordination site of the acid is still a matter of debate. We have analyzed tr ...

Dyes, Radicals and Nitrous Oxide Adducts Derived from N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are able to form covalent adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under ambient conditions. This thesis summarizes the studies of these adducts and their reactivity. A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with nit ...

Fixation of nitrous oxide by mesoionic and carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbenes

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Euro Solari, Giacomo Cecot, Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with the inert gas nitrous oxide, resulting in a stable covalent adduct with two intact N2O groups attached to the heterocycle. Mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbenes derived from C2-arylated 1,3-b ...

Protons and Hydroxide Ions in Aqueous Systems

Sylvie Roke

Understanding the structure and dynamics of water's constituent ions, proton and hydroxide, has been a subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies over the last century. Besides their obvious importance in acid-base chemistry, these ions play ...

Supramolecular assemblies of organotin(IV)-diphosphoryl adducts: insights from X-rays and DFT

Kurt Schenk

Mono-, di- and tri-phenyltin(IV) adducts containing a neutral diphosphoryl ligand, Ph2P(O)OC6H4OP(O) Ph-2, were synthesized and characterized. These 2 : 1 adducts of two trans-organotin(IV) moieties and the bridging ligand all crystallize around a centre o ...

On the cause of the tailing phenomenon during virus disinfection by chlorine dioxide

Tamar Kohn, Qingxia Zhong, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Moritz Brennecke, Andreas Rohatschek

This study investigates the mechanisms underlying the deviation from Chick-Watson kinetics, namely a tailing curve, during the disinfection of viruses by chlorine dioxide (ClO2). Tailing has been previously reported, but is typically attributed to the deca ...

Conformational control of anticancer activity: the application of arene-linked dinuclear ruthenium(II) organometallics

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Laure Menin, Benjamin Samuel Murray

Dinuclear metal complexes have emerged as a promising class of biologically active compounds which possess unique anticancer activity. Here, we describe a novel series of arene-linked dinuclear organometallic Ru(II) complexes, where the relative conformati ...

Adducts of Nitrous Oxide and N-Heterocyclic Carbenes: Syntheses, Structures, and Reactivity

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Basile Vuichoud, Alexander Tskhovrebov

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) react at ambient conditions with nitrous oxide to give covalent adducts. In the crystal, all compounds show a bent N2O group connected via the N-atom to the former carbene carbon atom. Most adducts are stable at room temperat ...
