Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Synthesis of Graphene Oxide
Daniela C. Marcano,Dmitry V. Kosynkin,Jacob M. Berlin,Alexander Sinitskii,Zhengzong Sun,Alexander S. Slesarev,Lawrence B. Alemany,Wei Lu,James M. Tour +8 more
TL;DR: An improved method for the preparation of graphene oxide (GO) is described, finding that excluding the NaNO(3), increasing the amount of KMnO(4), and performing the reaction in a 9:1 mixture of H(2)SO(4)/H(3)PO(4) improves the efficiency of the oxidation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Efficient Ruthenium Catalysts for the Formation of Tetrasubstituted Olefins via Ring-Closing Metathesis
TL;DR: A series of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been prepared in which the N-aryl groups have been changed from mesityl to mono-ortho-substituted phenyl, offering an exceptional increase in activity for the formation of tetrasubstituting olefins via ring-closing metatheses (RCM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly active chiral ruthenium catalysts for asymmetric ring-closing olefin metathesis.
TL;DR: Mechanistic explanations for the large sodium iodide effect as well as possible mechanistic pathways leading to the observed products are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction to Improved Synthesis of Graphene Oxide
Daniela C. Marcano,Dmitry V. Kosynkin,Jacob M. Berlin,Alexander Sinitskii,Zhengzong Sun,Alexander Slesarev,Lawrence B. Alemany,Wei Lu,James M. Tour +8 more
TL;DR: In the Experimental Procedures section, the order of addition of reagents in the description of the improved method is incorrect and is important because, in the instances where there would be different addition order, the KMnO4 might be in high concentration in the acid mixture, and this can become explosive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis to form tetrasubstituted olefins.
Jacob M. Berlin,Katie Campbell,Tobias Ritter,Timothy W. Funk,Anatoly Chlenov,Robert H. Grubbs +5 more
TL;DR: Increased efficiency for ring-closing metathesis to form tetrasubstituted olefins using N-heterocyclic carbene ligated ruthenium catalysts was achieved by reducing the size of the substituents at the ortho positions of the N-bound aryl rings.
