Journal ArticleDOI
From molecular ribbons to a molecular fabric
Mark Mascal,J. Hansen,Philip S. Fallon,Alexander J. Blake,Brigid R. Heywood,Madeleine H. Moore,Johan P. Turkenburg +6 more
TL;DR: Ion-pair reinforced, hydrogen-bonded molecular ribbons are knitted together through ammonium carboxylate salt bridges into undulating sheets wherein each component participates in three ion-pairing interactions and up to twelve hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early–late, mixed-metal compounds supported by amidophosphine ligands
Q. Folashade Mokuolu,Paul A. Duckmanton,Peter B. Hitchcock,Claire Wilson,Alexander J. Blake,Lena Shukla,Jason B. Love +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series of discrete early-late mixed-metal complexes supported by the unique amidophosphine ligand m-(But2CH)N(C6H4)PPh2L1 is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid synthesis of the A-E fragment of ciguatoxin CTX3C.
TL;DR: The A-E fragment of the marine natural product CTX3C has been prepared in an efficient manner by using a strategy in which two-directional and iterative ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions were employed for ring construction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury thioether chemistry: the synthesis and structure of [Hg([9]aneS3)2(PF6)2([9]aneS3=1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of HgSO4 with 2 molar equivalents of [9]ANES3 in refluxing H2O-MeOH (1:1 v/v) for 1 h affords a colourless solution from which the complex [Hg([9]aneS3)2](PF6)2 can be isolated by addition of NH4PF6.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that, with the appropriate choice of supporting ligands, it is possible to cleave and homologate carbon monoxide under mild conditions using an abundant and environmentally benign low-coordinate, first row transition metal.
