Journal ArticleDOI
Olefin Metathesis-Active Ruthenium Complexes Bearing a Nucleophilic Carbene Ligand
TL;DR: In this article, a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study has been performed on 6.5-C5Me5-RuCl2(C(H)Ph)(PCy3)2 (1) and the carbene ligand 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (IMes)Cl (3) in 86% isolated yield, where the thermochemical information is used to predict the magnitude of the enthalpic driving force behind substitution reactions
Journal ArticleDOI
"Silver effect" in gold(I) catalysis: an overlooked important factor.
Dawei Wang,Rong Cai,Sripadh Sharma,James Jirak,Sravan K. Thummanapelli,Novruz G. Akhmedov,Hui Zhang,Xingbo Liu,Jeffrey L. Petersen,Xiaodong Shi +9 more
TL;DR: This investigation has revealed a long-overlooked "silver effect" in gold catalysis and should lead to revision of the actual mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study Examining the Binding of N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC) to the Cp*RuCl (Cp* = η5-C5Me5) Moiety: Insight into Stereoelectronic Differences between Unsaturated and Saturated NHC Ligands
Anna C. Hillier,William Sommer,Ben S. Yong,Jeffrey L. Petersen,Luigi Cavallo,Steven P. Nolan +5 more
TL;DR: Combined solution calorimetric and quantum mechanics studies of reactions involving saturated and unsaturated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands show that the difference in their relative bond dissociation energies is very small (1 kcal·mol-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Triazole−Au(I) Complexes: A New Class of Catalysts with Improved Thermal Stability and Reactivity for Intermolecular Alkyne Hydroamination
TL;DR: Variable-temperature NMR studies revealed dynamic triazole-Au cation coordination in solution, indicating that these new catalysts possess much better thermal stability than literature-reported Au catalysts, including IPrAu x NTf(2).
