TL;DR: In this paper, a variable-temperature study revealed a dynamic process in solution attributed to the presence of three isomers, namely, cis-fac, cismer, and trans-mer, which were observed in a 0.11:1:0.05 ratio at 298 K, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binuclear cobalt complexes of Schiff-base calixpyrroles and their roles in the catalytic reduction of dioxygen.
Manuel Volpe,Heather Hartnett,James Leeland,James Leeland,Kathryn Wills,Marianne Ogunshun,Bridgette J. Duncombe,Claire Wilson,Alexander J. Blake,Jon McMaster,Jason B. Love +10 more
TL;DR: The syntheses and characterization of a series of binuclear cobalt complexes of the octadentate Schiff-base calixpyrrole ligand L are described, and collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry experiments showed that, while [Co(2)(O(2))(L)]H(+) ions readily lose a single O atom, the resulting Co-O(H)-Co core remains resistant to further fragmentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen-bonding interactions between linear bipyridinium cations and nitrate anions
TL;DR: In this article, a series of diprotonated bipyridium nitrates has been synthesized and a total of seven structures are discussed: two polymorphs of each of H2bipy(NO3)2 and H2diazobpe(NO 3)2, H2pbpeb(NO2), H2ipd(NO1), and one crystal form of each polygonal form of poly(H2dizobpe)2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidovanadium(V) complexes containing hydrazone based O,N,O-donor ligands: Synthesis, structure, catalytic properties and theoretical calculations
Hassan Hosseini-Monfared,Rahman Bikas,Parisa Mahboubi-Anarjan,Alexander J. Blake,Vito Lippolis,N. Burcu Arslan,Canan Kazak +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two new mono oxidovanadium (V) complexes, [VOL1(OEt)] (1) and [VOL2(OMe)] (2), of the tridentate Schiff base hydrazone-type O,N,O-donor ligands H2L1 andH2L2, obtained by monocondensation of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide with 5-bromo-2hydroxybenzaldehyde and benzoylacetone, respectively, have been synthesized starting from VO
Journal ArticleDOI
The Nature of Unsupported Uranium–Ruthenium Bonds: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
Benedict M. Gardner,Dipti Patel,Andrew D. Cornish,Jonathan McMaster,William Lewis,Alexander J. Blake,Stephen T. Liddle +6 more
TL;DR: Structural, spectroscopic, and computational analyses of 9-12 shows the formation of unsupported uranium-ruthenium bonds with no isocarbonyl linkages in the solid state and closed-shell uranium-RUThenium interactions that can be classified as predominantly ionic with little covalent character.
