TL;DR: In this paper, the stability properties of two new uraniumVI metal-organic compounds, (tataH)2[(UO2)2(pdtc) 2(μ-OH)2]·2H2O (1) and (AcrH 2[(PydcH2)(pydc)2 [(Pyridine-2,6-bis(monothiocarboxylate) 2] (2)] (3), were obtained via proton transfer methodology by reacting UO22+ with the preformed
Journal ArticleDOI
The first triazatrimethylenemethane dianion: crystal structure of dilithio-triphenylguanidine Li2[C(NPh)3] as its tetrahydrofuran solvate
TL;DR: In this article, the dilithiation of N,N′,N″-triphenylguanidine with n-butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran provides the first example of a triazatrimethylenemethane system [C(NPh)3]2], isoelectronic with both [CH2]2] and [CO3]
Journal ArticleDOI
On the transport and selective complexation of silver(I) by mixed thioether–oxa crowns. The single crystal X-ray structures of [Agn([15]aneS2O3)n](PF6)n and [Ag2([15]aneS2O3)3](PF6)2([15]aneS2O3= 1,4,7-trioxa-10,13-dithiacyclopentadecane)
TL;DR: In this article, reaction of AgNO3 with [15]aneS2O3 followed by addition of NH4PF6 affords the complexes [Agn([15]ANES 2O3)n](PF6)n and [Ag2([15]-aneS 2 O3)3]2+ with long-range interactions to three O-donors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five coordinate M(II)-diphenolate [M = Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)] Schiff base complexes exhibiting metal- and ligand-based redox chemistry.
Mark Franks,Anastasia Gadzhieva,Laura Ghandhi,David Murrell,Alexander J. Blake,E. Stephen Davies,William Lewis,Fabrizio Moro,Jonathan McMaster,Martin Schröder +9 more
TL;DR: Five-coordinate Zn(II, Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes containing pentadentate N(3)O(2) Schiff base ligands have been synthesized and characterized and it is confirmed that each oxidation process is ligand-based with sequential formation of mono- and bis-phenoxyl radical species.
