To bend or not to bend, the dilemma of multiple bonds

Michele Pizzochero

Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...

Small Molecule Activation by Multimetallic Uranium Complexes

Marta Falcone

The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...

DORI Reveals the Influence of Noncovalent Interactions on Covalent Bonding Patterns in Molecular Crystals Under Pressure

Berend Smit, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Benjamin André René Meyer, Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Senja Dominique Barthel

The study of organic molecular crystals under high pressure provides fundamental insight into crystal packing distortions and reveals mechanisms of phase transitions and the crystallization of polymorphs. These solid-state transformations can be monitored ...

Extending the Scope of the Density Overlap Region Indicator

Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay

In this thesis, original applications of the Density Overlap Region Indicator (DORI), a density dependent bonding descriptor capable of simultaneously capturing covalent and noncovalent interactions, are discussed. The use of scalar fields, such as DORI, w ...

Metathesis of a U(V) imido complex: a route to a terminal U(V) sulfide

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Marta Falcone, Rory Patrick Kelly

Herein, we report the synthesis and characterisation of the first terminal uranium(V) sulfide and a related UV trithiocarbonate complex supported by sterically demanding tris(tert-butoxy)siloxide ligands. The reaction of the potassium-bound UV imido comple ...

Copper-Catalyzed Three-Component Carboazidation of Alkenes with Acetonitrile and Sodium Azide

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Ala Bunescu, Minh Tu Ha

A copper-catalyzed three-component reaction of alkenes, acetonitrile, and sodium azide afforded gamma-azido alkyl nitriles by formation of one C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond and one C(sp3)-N bond. The transformation allows concomitant introduction of two highly versat ...

Promotion Effect of Alkali Metal Hydroxides on Polymer-Stabilized Pd Nanoparticles for Selective Hydrogenation of C–C Triple Bonds in Alkynols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lioubov Kiwi, Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel

Postimpregnation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized within hyper-cross-linked polystyrene with sodium or potassium hydroxides of optimal concentration was found to significantly increase the catalytic activity for the partial hydrogenation of the C–C tri ...

Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Domino Arylation/Semipinacol Rearrangement of Allylic Alcohols with Diaryliodonium Salts

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Hua Wu

A copper-catalyzed enantioselective arylative semipinacol rearrangement of allylic alcohols was developed. In the presence of a catalytic amount of an in situ generated chiral copper-bisoxazoline complex, reaction of allylic alcohols with diaryliodonium sa ...

"Palladium-Catalyzed Diamination of Alkynes in Synthesis of Tetracycles" and "Copper-Catalyzed Cyanoalkylation of Unactivated Alkenes"

Minh Tu Ha

The thesis deals with the development of transition metal-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes and alkynes, which can be categorized into two major topics: (1) palladium-catalyzed diamination of alkynes for the synthesis of tetracycles; (2) copper-cata ...

Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...
