Template Assembly of Polyiodide Networks at Complexed Metal Cations: Synthesis and Structures of [Pd2Cl2([18]aneN2S4)]1.5I5(I3)2 and [K([15]aneO5)2]I9
Alexander J. Blake,Robert O. Gould,Wan-Sheung Li,Vito Lippolis,Simon Parsons,Christian Radek,Martin Schröder +6 more
TL;DR: The cations [Pd2 Cl2 L]2+ and [KL2'++ (L = [18]aneN2 S4 , L' =[15]aneO5 ) have been used as templates for the synthesis of unique three-dimensional polyiodide networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enantioselective Total Syntheses of Omuralide, 7-epi-Omuralide, and (+)-Lactacystin
Christopher J. Hayes,Alexandra E. Sherlock,Martin P. Green,Claire Wilson,Alexander J. Blake,Matthew D. Selby,Jeremy C. Prodger +6 more
TL;DR: An alkylidene carbene 1,5-CH insertion has been used as a key step in an enantioselective total syntheses of omuralide, its C7-epimer, and (+)-lactacystin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Group 4 Imido Complexes Stabilized by a Tridentate Diamido-Donor Ligand
Alexander J. Blake,Philip E. Collier,Lutz H. Gade,Philip Mountford,Julian Lloyd,Stephen M. Pugh,Martin Schubart,and Michael E. G. Skinner,Dominique J. M. Trösch +8 more
TL;DR: The tridentate diamido-pyridine ligand adopts a facial coordination mode in the distorted trigonal bipyramidal complexes with the imido ligand occupying an equatorial position, as was established by X-ray diffraction for 3a and 5 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Versatility of 2,6-diacetylpyridine (dap) hydrazones in generating varied molecular architectures: synthesis and structural characterization of a binuclear double helical Zn(II) complex and a Mn(II) coordination polymer.
TL;DR: The ability of the 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(aroyl hydrazone) ligands to form double helical complexes is analyzed in terms of the conformational flexibility of the ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some tetrahydroborate derivatives of aluminium: crystal structures ofdimethylaluminium tetrahydroborate and the α and β phases ofaluminium tris(tetrahydroborate) at low temperature
Simon Aldridge,Alexander J. Blake,Anthony J. Downs,Robert O. Gould,Simon Parsons,Colin R. Pulham +5 more
TL;DR: The structure of dimethylaluminium tetrahydroborate has been investigated by X-ray diffraction of single crystals at low temperatures as discussed by the authors, with a transition temperature in the range of 180-195 K.
