The weak carbon-metal bond combined with the kinetic inertness of the carbon-carbon bond renders metal-catalysed C-C bond activation to be highly challenging. Most of the reported C-C bond activation methodologies involve strain-releasing cleavage of small ...
The complexes Pd-II(qcq)(OAc) and Pt-II(qcq)Cl have been synthesized using environmentally benign synthesized ligands and characterized by elemental analyses: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, H-1 NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray ...
Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...
Two new bis(diphenylphosphino) amines, N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino) benzidine 1 and N, N-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 3,3-dimethoxybenzidine 2 were prepared by aminolysis. Their corresponding oxides, sulfides and selenides were readily prepared by reaction with h ...
Hydrogen holds the potential to be an alternative to replace fossil fuels in the future. The tremendous research effort dedicated to the issue of hydrogen storage has led to considerable advancements in the development of both adsorption materials and chem ...
Carbon-carbon bond forming reactions are among the most important and useful methods for organic synthesis. During the last years, significant progress has been made in this field. Whereas many catalysts were developed for the coupling of aryl, alkenyl, an ...
Four new bis(phosphino)amine ligands (Ph2P)2N-C6H3-R, where R = 3,5-OMe (1), 2,5-OMe (2), 2,4-OMe (3) or 3,4-OMe (4), were prepd. via aminolysis of the corresponding dimethoxyanilines with 2 equiv. of diphenylphosphine chloride in the presence of tri-Et am ...
The main obstacles in the widespread use of hydrogen as energetic alternative to fossil fuels are storage problems intrinsically linked to its extremely light and explosive nature. Since no ideal storage systems currently exist, reversible fixation of hydr ...
Complex of general formula I in which R1, R2 and R3, which may be identical or different, represent separately a linear or branched alkyl radical of 1 to 5 carbon atoms, or, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached, a heterocyclic ...
