Substitution of tetracyanoethene by ethynyl-metal complexes gives tricyanovinylethynyl (tricyanobutenynyl) derivatives: Syntheses, protonation, and addition of metal-ligand fragments

TL;DR: A series of tricyanovinylethynyl (3,4,4-tricyanobut-3-en-1-ynyl) ligands have been obtained by substitution of a CN group in tetracyanoethene upon reaction with the ethynyl complexes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactions of electron-rich indoles with triflic anhydride

TL;DR: The first reported synthesis of these compounds under basic conditions was reported in this article, where the reaction of electron-rich 3-aryl-substituted 4-6-dimethoxyindoles in the presence of base with triflic anhydride results in biaryl coupling, producing both 2,2′- and 2,7′-biindoles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterization of some novel adducts of copper(II) salts with unidentate nitrogen bases

TL;DR: In this paper, the 1:4 adduct of copper sulfate with 3,5-dimethylpyridine (m2py) takes the form [(O3SO)Cu(m 2py)4], the Cu-O vector of the square-pyramidal coordination environment being disposed on the 4-axis in tetragonal space group Pnma, excepting the pair of pyridine ligands disposed to either side.
