Pd-mediated carbene polymerisation: activity of palladium(II) versus low-valent palladium

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation of Pd catalysed homopolymerisation of carbenes using both PdII and Pd0 complexes revealed that the active species in these reactions are most likely low-valent Pd species rather than Pd II-alkyl species generally assumed to mediate carbene polymerisation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conformational Behavior and Binding Properties of Naphthalene-Walled Clips

TL;DR: The conformational behavior and binding properties of various clip-shaped receptor molecules, based on the building block diphenylglycoluril, were studied by NMR, X-ray analysis, and computational techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rational Optimization of Supramolecular Catalysts for the Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation Reaction.

TL;DR: A catalyst in which a hydrogen bond between the substrate and the catalyst plays a crucial role in determining the selectivity and the rate of the catalytic hydrogenation reaction, as is evident from a combination of experiments and DFT calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remotely controlled iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of terminal 1,1-diaryl alkenes.

TL;DR: This strategy offers efficient synthetic pathways towards valuable enantiomerically enriched 1, 1-diaryl and 1,1-dialkyl alkanes and can be further functionalized.
Journal ArticleDOI

ROTACAT: A Rotating Device Containing a Designed Catalyst for Highly Selective Hydroformylation

TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneous catalyst was covalently anchored to monoliths that were constructed as the blades of a mechanical stirrer and used in a batch process for the hydroformylation of both higher and lower alkenes and showed a high regioselectivity for linear aldehyde.
