Cation assisted binding and cleavage of dinitrogen by uranium complexes

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Nadir Jori

The role of alkali promoters in N-2 cleavage by metal complexes remains poorly understood despite its relevance to the industrial production of ammonia from N-2. Here we report a series of alkali bound-oxo-bridged diuranium(iii) complexes that provide a un ...

Nitrogen activation and cleavage by a multimetallic uranium complex

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

Multimetallic-multielectron cooperativity plays a key role in the metal-mediated cleavage of N-2 to nitrides (N3-). In particular, low-valent uranium complexes coupled with strong alkali metal reducing agents can lead to N-2 cleavage, but often, it is ambi ...

Synthesis of Four-Membered BN3 Heterocycles by the Borylation of Triazenes

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Abdusalom Suleymanov

Borylated triazenes were synthesized by the dehydrocoupling of triazenes with 9-borabicyclo(3.3.1)nonane, by the condensation of triazenes with BEt3, or by the reaction of sodium triazenides with dialkyl- or diarylboron halides. The structures of the produ ...

The Chemistry of the Passivation Mechanism of Perovskite Films with Ionic Liquids

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Rosario Scopelliti, Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani

Passivation of perovskite films by ionic liquids (ILs)improves the performance (efficiency and stability) of perovskitesolar cells (PSCs). However, the role of ILs in the passivation ofperovskitefilms is not fully understood. Here, we report thereactions o ...

Reactivity of Multimetallic Thorium Nitrides Generated by Reduction of Thorium Azides

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Luciano Barluzzi, Fang-Che Hsueh

Thorium nitrides are likely intermediates in the reported cleavage and functionalization of dinitrogen by molecular thorium complexes and are attractive compounds for the study of multiple bond formation in f-element chemistry, but only one example of thor ...

Identification of a Heteroleptic Pd6L6L′6 Coordination Cage by Screening of a Virtual Combinatorial Library

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Sylvain Alexandre Marie Sudan, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Rujin Li

The design of structurally defined heteroleptic coordination cages is a challenging task, and only few examples are known to date. Here we describe a selection approach that allowed the identification of a novel hexanuclear Pd cage containing two types of ...

Nitride protonation and NH3 binding versus N-H bond cleavage in uranium nitrides

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti

The conversion of metal nitrides to NH3 is an essential step in dinitrogen fixation, but there is limited knowledge of the reactivity of nitrides with protons (H+). Herein, we report comparative studies for the reactions of H+ and NH3 with uranium nitrides ...

The roles of fused-ring organic semiconductor treatment on SnO2 in enhancing perovskite solar cell performance

Rosario Scopelliti

It took only 11 years for the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to increase from 3.8% to 25.2%. It is worth noting that, as a new thin-film solar cell technique, defect passivation at the interface is crucial for the PSCs. ...

Ligand Effects in Low-Valent Co(I) Clathrochelate Complexes

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Ophélie Marie Planes

Clathrochelate complexes of cobalt are known in the oxidation states I, II, and III. Low-valent Co(I) complexes are highly reactive compounds, and there is only limited knowledge about their structures in the solid state. Herein, we describe the crystallog ...

Single metal four-electron reduction by U(II) and masked "U(II)" compounds

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Dieuwertje Katelijn Modder

The redox chemistry of uranium is dominated by single electron transfer reactions while single metal four-electron transfers remain unknown in f-element chemistry. Here we show that the oxo bridged diuranium(iii) complex K(2.2.2-cryptand)[{((Me3Si)(2) ...

Isolation and characterization of diazoolefins

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Paul Varava, Zhaowen Dong

Diazoolefins tend to be highly reactive compounds that rapidly lose dinitrogen. So far, most experimental evidence for diazoolefins is indirect, via trapping experiments. Here we show that diazoolefins are observed to form in reactions of N-heterocyclic ol ...
