Journal ArticleDOI
A phenol–imidazole pro-ligand that can exist as a phenoxyl radical, alone and when complexed to copper(II) and zinc(II)
Laurent Benisvy,Alexander J. Blake,David Collison,E. Stephen Davies,C. David Garner,Eric J. L. McInnes,Jonathan McMaster,Gavin Whittaker,Claire Wilson +8 more
TL;DR: A new N,O-bidentate, phenol-imidazole pro-ligand 2′-(4′,6′-di-tert-butylhydroxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenyl imidazoles (LH) has been designed, synthesised, and characterised as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones by catecholborane catalysed by chiral group 13 complexes
TL;DR: LiGaH4, in combination with the S,O-chelate 2-hydroxy-2'-mercapto-1,1'-binaphthyl (MTBH2), forms an active catalyst for the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones, with catecholborane as the hydride source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic and Structural Studies of Copper–Lanthanoid Complexes; the Synthesis and Structures of New Cu3Ln Complexes of 6-chloro-2-Pyridone (Ln = Gd, Dy and Er) and Magnetic Studies on Cu2Gd2, Cu4Gd2 and Cu3Gd Complexes
Cristiano Benelli,Alexander J. Blake,Paul E. Y. Milne,Jeremy M. Rawson,Richard E. P. Winpenny +4 more
TL;DR: The first magneto-structural correlation reported for mixed d-block/f-block metal complexes was reported in this article, where three copper-lanthanoid complexes are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of the U=C double bond: pushing the stability of high-oxidation-state uranium carbenes to the limit.
Oliver Cooper,David P. Mills,Jonathan McMaster,Floriana Tuna,Eric J. L. McInnes,William Lewis,Alexander J. Blake,Stephen T. Liddle +7 more
TL;DR: Theoretical calculations have enabled a qualitative bracketing of the extent of covalency in early-metal carbenes as a function of metal, oxidation state and the number of phosphanyl substituents, revealing modest covalent contributions to U=C double bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore with Gate: Enhancement of the Isosteric Heat of Adsorption of Dihydrogen via Postsynthetic Cation Exchange in Metal−Organic Frameworks
Sihai Yang,Gregory S B Martin,Jeremy J. Titman,Alexander J. Blake,David R. Allan,Neil R. Champness,Martin Schröder +6 more
TL;DR: By modulating the pore environment via postsynthetic cation exchange, the gas adsorption properties of the resultant MOF can be fine-tuned, which affords a methodology for the development of high capacity storage materials that may operate at more ambient temperatures.
