Jan C. A. Boeyens,Leanne M. Cook,Paul A. Duckworth,Sentot Budi Rahardjo,Max R. Taylor,Kevin P. Wainwright +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability constants of two bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-substituted cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) 1,4-bis(2hydroxy methyl)-8, 11-dimethylcyclam and 1,11,bis( 2-hydroxyl)-4, 8, 8 -dimethyl cyclam) were measured by potentiometric titration and are generally intermediate between those shown by TMC-14 and tetrakis(2 -hyd
Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of the chemistry of ferrocenoyl derivatives. The synthesis and reactions of ferrocenoyl imidazolide and its derivatives
TL;DR: Ferrocenoyl imidazolide as mentioned in this paper is a red crystalline compound that is stable at <5°C in the dark and it acts as an efficient ferrocinoyl equivalent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal oligomerisation of aryl isocyanides: formation of pyrazino[1,2-a:4,5-a′]diindoles and indigo diarylimines
TL;DR: The aryl isocyanides 1-4 are converted at 150 degrees C into the hexameric pyrazino[1,2-a:4,5-a']diindoles 15-19 and Mechanisms are proposed for the oligomerisation reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid-state isomerisation reactions of (η5-C5H4R)M(CO)2(PR3′)I (M=W, Mo; R=tBu, Me; R′=Ph, OiPr3)
