Journal ArticleDOI
A retro Diels-Alder route to diphosphorus chemistry: molecular precursor synthesis, kinetics of P2 transfer to 1,3-dienes, and detection of P2 by molecular beam mass spectrometry.
Alexandra Velian,Matthew Nava,Manuel Temprado,Yan Zhou,Robert W. Field,Christopher C. Cummins +5 more
TL;DR: A molecular beam mass spectrometry study on the thermolysis of solid P2A2 reveals the direct detection of molecular fragments of only P2 and anthracene, thus establishing a link between solution-phase P2-transfer chemistry and production of gas- phase P2 by mild thermal activation of a molecular precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphinidentantal(v)‐Komplexe des Typs [(N3N)TaPR] als Phospha‐Wittig‐Reagentien (R = Ph, Cy, tBu; N3N = (Me3SiNCH2CH2)3N)
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-electron reduction of a vanadium(V) nitride by CO to release cyanate and open a coordination site.
TL;DR: It is reported that the terminal nitride complex Na[NV(N[t-Bu]Ar)(3)] (Na[1-VN], Ar = 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3)) reacts with CO over the course of 24 h to generate V(N-Bu) ( 1-V) and sodium cyanate in an isolated yield of 77%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactions of Organic Nitriles with a Three-Coordinate Molybdenum(III) Complex and with a Related Molybdaziridine-Hydride
Yi-Chou Tsai,Frances H. Stephens,Karsten Meyer,Arjun Mendiratta,and Mircea D. Gheorghiu,Christopher C. Cummins +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sterically hindered RCN with Me2NCN was used to give the diiminato product analogous to the one mentioned for the tert-butyl system, where molybdaziridine-hydride 2 has provided access to the threecoordinate Mo(N[i-Pr]Ar)3 (3) moiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
P2 Addition to Terminal Phosphide M≡P Triple Bonds: A Rational Synthesis of cyclo-P3 Complexes
TL;DR: The rate constants for the fragmentation of 1 and 1-W(CO)5 were unchanged in the presence of the terminal phosphide 3-Mo, supporting the hypothesis that molecular P2 and (P2)W( CO)5, respectively, are reactive intermediates.
