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 ...

Thermal activation and aging of a V2O3/WO3-TiO2 catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid, Adrian Marberger

Real-world vanadium-based catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH3 are occasionally exposed to high temperatures, which can induce catalyst aging. In this work, a 2.0 wt% V2O5/WO3-TiO2 catalyst based on commercial WO3-TiO2 was l ...

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl halides catalyzed by well-defined nickel pincer complexes

Thomas Clément Di Franco

Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are powerful and widespread methods for the carbon-carbon bond formation. Among the electrophile partners, non-activated alkyl halides remain challenging substrates because of their reluctance towards oxidative addi ...

A Structure-Activity Study of Nickel NNN Pincer Complexes for Alkyl-Alkyl Kumada and Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Marko Stojanovic, Thomas Clément Di Franco

A new series of Ni NNN pincer complexes were synthesized and characterized. The main difference among these complexes is the substituents on the side arm amino group(s). No major structural difference was found except for the C-N-C angle of the various sub ...
