Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective synthesis of phospholanes using chiral lithium amide desymmetrisation
TL;DR: In this paper, the enantioselective deprotonation of 1,2,5-triphenylphospholane oxide with a chiral base, followed by electrophilic quenching, gives a range of chiral products in good yield and in ca. 85% ee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heteronuclear cluster formation: the synthesis and structure of the chloro-bridged tetranuclear complex [TlCl2Ru(PPh3)([9]aneS3)]2(PF6)2 incorporating a [RuCl2Tl2Cl2Ru] ladder ([9]aneS3= 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that TIPF6 in CH2Cl2 at 273 K affords the yellow hetero-cluster species [TlCl2Ru(PPh3)([9]aneS3)]2(PF6)2 incorporating a [RuCl2Tl2Cl 2Ru] ladder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox non-innocence of thioether crowns: elucidation of the electronic structure of the mononuclear Pd(III) complexes [Pd([9]aneS3)2]3+ and [Pd([18]aneS6)]3+.

TL;DR: Multifrequency (Q, X, S, and L-band) EPR spectroscopic analysis of the Pd(II) complexes shows a one-electron oxidation process in MeCN, consistent with Jahn-Teller distortion at a low-spin d(7) Pd (III) center.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alkyne-based derivatives of [Ru6C(CO)17] and thestepwise synthesis of[Ru6C(CO)13(η5-C5H3Ph2)(µ3-CPh)]
TL;DR: A systematic synthetic route to the hexanuclear cluster compound has been elaborated in this paper, in which a number of stable intermediates have been isolated and============characterised, and the molecular structure of one of the isomers has been established by single-crystal X-ray crystallography.
