Journal ArticleDOI
The Ketimide Ligand is Not Just an Inert Spectator: Heteroallene Insertion Reactivity of an Actinide–Ketimide Linkage in a Thorium Carbene Amide Ketimide Complex
TL;DR: Reactivity studies of 2 with unsaturated substrates shows that insertion reactions occur preferentially at the Th—Nketimide bond rather than at theTh—Ccarbene or Th-Namide bonds, overturns the established view that metal-ketimides linkages are purely inert spectators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of Promoted Zinc Schlenk Equilibria, their Equilibrium Values and Derived Reactivity
TL;DR: The presence of promoted Schlenk equilibria for organozinc halide species has been explicitly demonstrated by 13C NMR studies and asymmetric conjugate addition in this system can be realised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thioether–iodine charge-transfer complexes. Synthesis and low-temperature single-crystal structures of complexes of penta-, hexa- and octa-dentate homoleptic thioether macrocycles
Alexander J. Blake,Francesco A. Devillanova,Alessandra Garau,Liam M. Gilby,Robert O. Gould,Francesco Isaia,Vito Lippolis,Simon Parsons,Christian Radek,Martin Schröder +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1∶1 I2∶macrocycle adduct was shown to have symmetrically bridging I2 molecules with a homoleptic thioether macrocycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses and structures of a new class of aza- and thio-ether macrocyclic d0 imido complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis and structures of a family of macrocyclic, d0 titanium imido complexes [Ti(NBut)(L)Cl2] (L = [9]aneN3, Me3[9]ANEN3 or Me2[9]-aneN2S) are reported; the new compounds are isolobal analogues of group 4 metallocene dichlorides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of [(L)Ni(μ2-S)x{Fe(CO)3}x] adducts (x = 1 or 2): analogues of the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase
Philip A. Stenson,Armando Marin-Becerra,Claire Wilson,Alexander J. Blake,Jonathan McMaster,Martin Schröder +5 more
TL;DR: The binuclear [Ni(L)Fe(CO)3], , and trinuclear complexes adopt unusual structural motifs whereby Fe( CO)3 units bind to [ Ni(L)] via mu2-S bridging modes, C=N imine pi-bonds and potential Ni-Fe bonding interactions.
