Delivery of a Masked Uranium(II) by an Oxide-Bridged Diuranium(III) Complex

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Dieuwertje Katelijn Modder

Oxide is an attractive linker for building polymetallic complexes that provide molecular models for metal oxide activity, but studies of these systems are limited to metals in high oxidation states. Herein, we synthesized and characterized the molecular an ...

Nickamine and Analogous Nickel Pincer Catalysts for Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Halides and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes

Xile Hu, Renyi Shi, Zhikun Zhang

CONSPECTUS: Ligand development plays an essential role in the advance of homogeneous catalysis. Tridentate, meridionally coordinating ligands, commonly termed pincer ligands, have been established as a privileged class of ligands in catalysis because they ...

Facile N-functionalization and strong magnetic communication in a diuranium(v) bis-nitride complex

Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Lucile Sylvie Danielle Chatelain, Luciano Barluzzi

Uranium nitride complexes are of high interest because of their ability to effect dinitrogen reduction and functionalization and to promote magnetic communication, but studies of their properties and reactivity remain rare. Here we have prepared in 73% yie ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

Dyes, Radicals and Nitrous Oxide Adducts Derived from N-Heterocyclic Carbenes

Léonard Yannick Maurice Eymann

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are able to form covalent adducts with nitrous oxide (N2O) under ambient conditions. This thesis summarizes the studies of these adducts and their reactivity. A ditopic carbanionic N-heterocyclic carbene was found to react with nit ...

High-pressure NMR spectroscopic and calorimetric studies on formic acid dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide hydrogenation

Cornel Fink

Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...
