Journal ArticleDOI
Atomically precise organomimetic cluster nanomolecules assembled via perfluoroaryl-thiol SNAr chemistry
Elaine A. Qian,Alex I. Wixtrom,Jonathan C. Axtell,Azin Saebi,Dahee Jung,Pavel Rehak,Yanxiao Han,Elamar Hakim Moully,Daniel Mosallaei,Sylvia Chow,Marco S. Messina,Jing Yang Wang,A. Timothy Royappa,Arnold L. Rheingold,Heather D. Maynard,Petr Král,Alexander M. Spokoyny +16 more
TL;DR: A new approach to form atomically precise and highly tunable hybrid nanomolecules with well-defined three-dimensionality is reported, which allows the rapid generation of precise molecular assemblies for investigating multivalent interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organometallic Gold(III) Reagents for Cysteine Arylation.
Marco S. Messina,Julia M. Stauber,Mary A. Waddington,Arnold L. Rheingold,Heather D. Maynard,Alexander M. Spokoyny +5 more
TL;DR: The selective and efficient arylation procedures presented in this work broaden the synthetic scope of cysteine bioconjugation and serve as promising routes for the modification of complex biomolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of Biomolecule-Polymer Conjugates by Grafting-From Using ATRP, RAFT, or ROMP.
Marco S. Messina,Kathryn M.M. Messina,Arvind Bhattacharya,Hayden R. Montgomery,Heather D. Maynard +4 more
TL;DR: This review presents recent progress in the development of biomolecule-polymer conjugates with a focus on works that have detailed the use of grafting-from methods employing ATRP, RAFT, or ROMP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cage-Walking: Vertex Differentiation by Palladium-Catalyzed Isomerization of B(9)-Bromo-meta-Carborane
Rafal M. Dziedzic,Joshua L. Martin,Jonathan C. Axtell,Liban M. A. Saleh,Ta-Chung Ong,Yun-Fang Yang,Marco S. Messina,Arnold L. Rheingold,Kendall N. Houk,Alexander M. Spokoyny +9 more
TL;DR: This "cage-walking" process provides a unique pathway to preferentially introduce functional groups at the B(2) vertex using B(9)-bromo-meta-carborane as the sole starting material through substrate control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible-Light-Induced Olefin Activation Using 3D Aromatic Boron-Rich Cluster Photooxidants
Marco S. Messina,Jonathan C. Axtell,Yiqun Wang,Paul Chong,Alex I. Wixtrom,Kent O. Kirlikovali,Brianna M. Upton,Bryan M. Hunter,Oliver S. Shafaat,Saeed I. Khan,Jay R. Winkler,Harry B. Gray,Anastassia N. Alexandrova,Heather D. Maynard,Alexander M. Spokoyny +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown how these species, photo-excited with a benchtop blue LED source, can exhibit excited-state reduction potentials as high as 3 V and can participate in electron-transfer processes with a broad range of styrene monomers, initiating their polymerization.
