Conformational Analysis of 1,4-Disilabutane and 1,5-Disilapentane by Combined Application of Gas-Phase Electron Diffraction and ab Initio Calculations and the Crystal Structure of 1,5-Disilapentane at Low Temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the conformers of 1,4-disilabutane and 1,5disilapentane were analyzed from electron-diffraction data augmented by flexible restraints derived from ab initio calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compartmental Schiff-base ligands as selective double-loaded extractants for copper(II)
Daniel Black,Alexander J. Blake,Rachel L. Finn,Leonard F. Lindoy,Azizollah Nezhadali,Gholamhossein Rougnaghi,Peter A. Tasker,Martin Schröder +7 more
TL;DR: The Robson compartmental macrocyclic ligand derived from the condensation of derivatives of 2,6-diformylphenol and diamines has been prepared for the first time in its free ligand form; competitive threephase transport and two-phase extraction studies confirm high double-loaded selectivity for the binding and delivery of Cu(II) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
C–H Activation of co-ordinated crowns thioethers: deprotonation and ring-opening of [M([9]aneS3)2]3+(M = Co, Rh, Ir). Crystal structure of [Rh(H2CCHS(CH2)2S(CH2)2S)([9]aneS3)](PF6)2([9]aneS3= 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)
Alexander J. Blake,Alan J. Holder,Timothy I. Hyde,Heinz-Josef Küppers,Martin Schröder,Stefan Stötzel,Karl Wieghardt +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbanion was re-arranged to obtain a vinyl thioether complex via C-S bond cleavage, and this process was reversed in acidic medium to regenerate [Co([9]aneS3)2]3+
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore with gate: modulating hydrogen storage in metal-organic framework materials via cation exchange
Sihai Yang,Samantha K. Callear,Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta,William I. F. David,Junliang Sun,Alexander J. Blake,Neil R. Champness,Martin Schröder +7 more
TL;DR: A range of anionic metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have been prepared by combination of In(III) with tetracarboxylate isophthalate-based ligands as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The syntheses and structures of Group 1 expanded dipyrrolides: the formation of a 12-rung amidolithium circular ladder
Jason B. Love,Alexander J. Blake,Claire Wilson,Stuart David Reid,Andrew Novak,Peter B. Hitchcock +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, meso-disubstituted dipyrromethanes to incorporate imino or amino donors results in ligands that adopt unique, aggregated structures with Group 1 metals.
