Thermodynamics and kinetics of protonated merocyanine photoacids in water

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Euro Solari, Daniel Maria Busiello, Cristian Pezzato, Stefano Zamuner, Cesare Berton

Metastable-state photoacids (mPAHs) are chemical species whose photo-activated state is long-lived enough to allow for proton diffusion. Liao's photoacid (1) represents the archetype of mPAHs, and is being widely used on account of its unique capability to ...

Pattern-Based Sensing with Metal−Dye Complexes: Sensor Arrays versus Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries

Kay Severin, Sébastien Rochat

The dyes Methyl Calcein Blue, Arsenazo I, and Xylenol Orange, and the metal salts CuCl2 and NiCl2 were used to generate colorimetric sensors for peptides. Two different approaches were followed: (1) Sensors based on dynamic combinatorial libraries of metal ...

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 ...

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 ...

Selective Recognition and Extraction of Short‐Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylates by a Supramolecular Receptor

Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Damien Wen Chen

A supramolecular receptor for short‐chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylates was developed. The receptor displays a cage‐like geometry, with a defined binding site for the carboxylate head groups and an opening for the perfluoroalkyl side chains. The anionic gues ...

Pattern-Based Sensing of Sulfated Glycosaminoglycans with a Dynamic Mixture of Iron Complexes

Kay Severin

A dynamic mixture of iron complexes was used as a colorimetric sensor for sulfated glycosaminoglycans. The sensing ensemble was prepared by mixing [FeCl2(H2O)4] with dipicolylamine, the functionalized bipyridyl ligand N-(6-aminohexyl)-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyri ...

Sequential ATRA-Reductive Cyclopropanation Reactions with a Ruthenium Catalyst in the Presence of Manganese

Kay Severin

Atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) reactions of ethyl trichloroacetate, dichloromalononitrile, or diethyl 2,2-dichloromalonate with olefins followed by dechlorination have provided functionalized cyclopropanes in one step. The RuIII complex [Cp*RuCl2(PP ...
