Photochemical Processes in a Rhenium(I) Tricarbonyl N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complex Studied by Time-Resolved Measurements.

TL;DR: The measurements of the temperature-dependent emission lifetime and analysis using transition-state theory revealed that the photochemical substitution reaction proceeds from a metal-to-ligand charge transfer excited state, the structure of which allows the potential coordination of a solvent molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbonylation of hydrocarbylpalladium(II) complexes containing substituted pyridinecarboxylate chelating ligands. Steric and electronic manipulation of the CO-insertion mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, a mechanism for insertion of CO involving partial dissociation of the N-O chelate is proposed for these complexes, and the crystal stucture of [PdMe(mpyca)(PPh3] has been determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syntheses and structures of adducts of stoichiometry MX:dpex (2:1)(n), M=CuI , AgI , X = (pseudo-) halogen,dppx = Ph2E(CH2)xEPh2, E=P, As

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystal X-ray studies have defined the structures of a number of adducts of the form MX:dpex (2:1), M = univalent coinage metal (Cu, Ag), X = pseudo-halide, dpex=bis(diphenylpnicogeno)alkane, Ph 2 E(CH 2 ) x EPh 2, E = P, As, of diverse types, some novel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-inclusion of proline-functionalised calix[4]arene leads to hydrogelation

TL;DR: Solution-phase and solid-state structural studies indicate that the remarkable hydrogelation properties of a proline-functionalised calix[4]arene emerge as a result of extended helical structures formed via inclusion of aproline moiety in a neighbouring calixarene cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure and E.S.R. of 2,2'-Bipyridylium Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)iron(III) tetraperchlorate

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the title compound (C10H9N2) [Fe(C 10H8N2), (ClO4)4 has been determined at c. 295 K from diffractometer data and refined by least squares to R 0.056 (7018 reflections with I > 3σ(I)).
