RhCl3-Mediated Coupling Reactions of tert-Butyl Acetylene

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Euro Solari, Gregor Kiefer, Barnali Dutta

RhCl3 is shown to mediate unusual coupling reactions of tert-butyl acetylene. When RhCl3(H2O)n was heated with four equivalents of tert-butyl acetylene in methanol, the dinuclear complex [{Rh(μ-Cl)(CH2tBu)(tBuC=CHCOCH2tBu)}2] (2) was isolated. A larger exc ...

Metal complexes for use as dopants and other uses

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Julian Burschka

The invention relates to electrochemical devices comprising complexes of cobalt comprising at least one ligand with a 5- or six membered, N-containing heteroring. The complex are useful as p- and n- dopants, as over of electrochemical devices, in particula ...

Carbon-Doped TiO2 and Carbon, Tungsten-Codoped TiO2 through Sol-Gel Processes in the Presence of Melamine Borate: Reflections through Photocatalysis

Ravindranathan Thampi, Michael Jon Mattle

A series of C-doped, W-doped, and C,W-codoped TiO2 samples have been prepared using modified sol-gel techniques. Reproducible inexpensive C-doping arises from the presence of melamine borate in a sol-gel mixture, whereas W-doping is from the addition of tu ...

Electrophilic alkynylation: the dark side of acetylene chemistry

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

In addition to the well-established nucleophilic alkynylation, the use of electrophilic alkynes can expand tremendously the scope of acetylene transfer reactions. The use of metal catalysis has recently led to a rebirth of this research area. Halogenoalkyn ...

Reactivity of a rhenium hydroxo-carbonyl complex toward carbon disulfide: insights from theory

Pablo Campomanes Ramos

The reaction mechanism on the formation of the hydrosulfido complex [Re(SH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] via the reaction of [Re(OH)(CO)(3)(bipy)] with carbon disulfide was theoretically investigated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d, p) (LANL2DZ+f for Re) level of theory taking int ...

Photoexcited carrier relaxation dynamics in pentacene probed by ultrafast optical spectroscopy: Influence of morphology on relaxation processes

We present a comparative study of ultrafast photoexcited state relaxation in pentacene single crystals and in pure and C-60-doped pentacene films using optical pump-probe spectroscopy. The photoinduced absorption spectra in pentacene crystals is consistent ...
