Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses of Bis(aryloxo)halogenoytterbium(III) Complexes: [Yb(OAr)2X(THF)2] (X = Cl, Br, I; OAr = OC6H2–2,6‐tBu2–4‐R; R = H, Me, tBu) and the X‐Ray Crystal Structures of [Yb(OC6H2–2,6‐tBu2‐4‐Me)2I(THF)2] and [Yb(OC6H3‐2,6‐tBu2)2OH(THF)]2
TL;DR: In this paper, an X-ray crystal structure determination has shown [Yb(OArMe)2I(THF)2] to be a five coordinate monomer, in which ytterbium has distorted square pyramidal stereochemistry with mutually trans OArMe and THF ligands in the square plane and an apical iodide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative Dimerization of Aryldiynyl–Ruthenium Complexes
Michael I. Bruce,Karine Costuas,Frédéric Gendron,Jean François Halet,Martyn Jevric,Brian W. Skelton +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure determinations of 72+asym(PF6)-2 and 82+sym(AsF6-2) were obtained, showing that the precursor cationic diynyl complexes show important electron density on Cβ and Cδ.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gem - aluminium(III)/antimony(III)C centre incorporated in a bimetallic six-membered heterocycle
TL;DR: In this article, the carboalumination product containing a Gem-Al/Sb C center as part of a six-membered heterocycle, was structurally authenticated as the (RS,SR) diastereoisomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lewis-Base Adducts of Main Group 1 Metal Compounds. IV. Synthesis and Structure of the XLiL3 System (X = Cl, Br, I, L = 4-t-Butylpyridine, and X = I, L = Quinoline)
TL;DR: In this article, the first XML3 derivative for a quinoline -type ligand is described. But it is a monoquinoline solvate and not an XML3 ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster chemistry: LX. Reactions of the complex Ru5(μ5-η2,P-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)13 with CO or dihydrogen. X-Ray crystal structures of Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-CCHPPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)13, Ru5(μ-H)2(μ4-CCH2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)12 and Ru5C(μ-H)3(μ-PPh2)(CO)11(PMePh2)☆
TL;DR: In this article, the complex Ru5(μ5-C2PPh2), which is converted under CO (12 atm, 70°C, 22 h) into an isomeric cluster, both clusters containing Ru2-spiked Ru3 cores.
