Journal ArticleDOI
Platinum thioether macrocyclic chemistry: synthesis and electrochemistry of [PtL][PF6]2(L =[12]-, [14]- or [16]-aneS4) and [Pt2([28]aneS8)][PF6]4. Crystal structure of [Pt([12]aneS4)][PF6]2·MeCN
TL;DR: A series of mono-and bi-nuclear platinum(II) complexes [PtL][PF6]2(L =[12]-, [14]- or [16]-aneS4) and [PT2([28]aneS8)][PF 6]4 have been synthesised by reaction of the crown thioethers with platinum (II) salts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular isomers of metal-organic frameworks: the role of a new mixed donor imidazolate-carboxylate tetradentate ligand.
Victoria J. Richards,Stephen P. Argent,Adam Kewley,Alexander J. Blake,William Lewis,Neil R. Champness +5 more
TL;DR: Five new metal-organic frameworks prepared from the ligand 5-bis(3-(1-imidazolyl)propylcarbamoyl)terephthalate and transition metal salts are reported, revealing that the bipta(2-) ligand acts as a tetradentate ligand and combines with four-coordinate cationic metal nodes to give four-connected framework structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two approaches to the aromatic core of the aminonaphthoquinone antibiotics.
TL;DR: Two complementary approaches are presented for the synthesis of the quinone chromophores of the naphthoquinone ansamycins and related natural products using an improved protocol for the manganese(III) acetate mediated cyclization of 5-aryl-1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to β-naphthols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and Characterisation of Lanthanide N-Trimethylsilyl and -Mesityl Functionalised Bis(iminophosphorano)methanides and -Methanediides
George Marshall,Ashley J. Wooles,David P. Mills,William Lewis,Alexander J. Blake,Stephen T. Liddle +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the extension of the series of {BIPMTMSH}− (BIPMR = C{PPh2NR}2, TMS = trimethylsilyl) derived rare earth methanides by the preparation of [Ln(BIPMMesH)(I)2(THF)] (Ln = Nd, Gd, Tb), 1a-c, in 34-50% crystalline yields via the reaction of [ln(I)3 (THF)3.5
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, structure and redox properties of bis(cyclopentadienyl)dithiolene complexes of molybdenum and tungsten
Alexandra L. Whalley,Alexander J. Blake,David Collison,E. Stephen Davies,Helen J. Disley,Madeleine Helliwell,Frank E. Mabbs,Jonathan McMaster,Claire Wilson,C. David Garner +9 more
TL;DR: Results have been interpreted successfully within the framework provided by DFT calculations and the EPR spectra of each of the Mo cations show that the unpaired electron is coupled to the dithiolene proton but relatively weakly to (95,97)Mo.
