Journal ArticleDOI
Methanolysis of nitrile-functionalised pendant arm derivatives of 1,4,7-triazacyclononane upon coordination to CuII
TL;DR: In this article, the three ligands 1,4,7-tris(cyanomethyl)-1, 4, 7-triazacyclononane (L1, L2 and L3) have been treated with CuCl2·2H2O in refluxing MeOH to afford complexes [Cu(1)](BF4)2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of transition metal atoms into carbon nanotubes: a supramolecular approach
Jian Fan,Thomas W. Chamberlain,Yu Wang,Sihai Yang,Alexander J. Blake,Martin Schröder,Andrei N. Khlobystov +6 more
TL;DR: A functionalised fullerene incorporating a double-chelating group binds transition metal cations and acts as an effective vehicle for delivering metals into carbon nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-coordinate cobalt(II) terphenyl complexes: precursors to sterically encumbered ketones
Benjamin M. Gridley,Alexander J. Blake,Adrienne L. Davis,William Lewis,Graeme J. Moxey,Deborah L. Kays +5 more
TL;DR: Cobalt(II) diaryl complexes react with CO to afford Co(2)(CO)(8) and sterically encumbered ketones whose structure varies depending on the nature of the aryl ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The enantioselective generation of bridgehead enolates
Alexander J. Blake,Gerard Martin Paul Giblin,Douglas T. Kirk,Nigel S. Simpkins,Claire Wilson +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the generation and silylation of bridgehead enolates has been accomplished in high enantiomeric excess using a chiral lithium amide base, which is used to generate bridgeheads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stacked amido macrocyclic complexes: synthesis and single crystal X-ray structure of Na[Cu(L)(NCMe)](BF4)2(NO3)[L = 1-formyl-4,7-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane]
Alexander J. Blake,Ian Andrew Fallis,Robert O. Gould,Simon Parsons,Steven A. Ross,Martin Schröder +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of bi-functional derivatives of [9]aneN3 is described; the structure of Na[Cu(L)(NCMe)](BF4)2(NO3) shows a central [Na(BF 4)2]− core with the O-donor of the amide moiety.
