Journal ArticleDOI
Triethylsilyl Perfluoro-Tetraphenylborate, [Et(3)Si][F(20)-BPh(4)], a widely used Non-Existent Compound.
Matthew Nava,Christopher A. Reed +1 more
TL;DR: The commonly used triethylsilyl per-fluoro-tetraphenylborate salt, [Et(3)Si(+)][F(20)-BPh(4) (-)], has been misidentified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism and Scope of Phosphinidene Transfer from Dibenzo-7-phosphanorbornadiene Compounds
Wesley J. Transue,Alexandra Velian,Matthew Nava,Cristina García-Iriepa,Manuel Temprado,Christopher C. Cummins +5 more
TL;DR: The breadth of phosphinidene acceptors is expanded to unsaturated substrates beyond 1,3-dienes to include olefins and alkynes; this provides a new synthetic route to valuable amino-substituted phosphiranes and phosphirenes, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous and Selective Formation of HSNO, a Crucial Intermediate Linking H2S and Nitroso Chemistries
Matthew Nava,Marie-Aline Martin-Drumel,Christopher A. Lopez,Kyle N. Crabtree,Caroline C. Womack,Thanh L. Nguyen,Sven Thorwirth,Christopher C. Cummins,John F. Stanton,Michael C. McCarthy +9 more
TL;DR: It is established that HSNO is spontaneously formed in high concentration when NO and H2S gases are mixed at room temperature in the presence of metallic surfaces and the length of the S-N bond is found to be unusually long: 1.84 Å.
Journal ArticleDOI
A retro Diels-Alder route to diphosphorus chemistry: molecular precursor synthesis, kinetics of P2 transfer to 1,3-dienes, and detection of P2 by molecular beam mass spectrometry.
Alexandra Velian,Matthew Nava,Manuel Temprado,Yan Zhou,Robert W. Field,Christopher C. Cummins +5 more
TL;DR: A molecular beam mass spectrometry study on the thermolysis of solid P2A2 reveals the direct detection of molecular fragments of only P2 and anthracene, thus establishing a link between solution-phase P2-transfer chemistry and production of gas- phase P2 by mild thermal activation of a molecular precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Strongest Brønsted Acid: Protonation of Alkanes by H(CHB11F11) at Room Temperature
Matthew Nava,Matthew Nava,Irina V. Stoyanova,Steven P. Cummings,Evgenii S. Stoyanov,Christopher A. Reed +5 more
TL;DR: By protonating alkanes at room temperature, the reactivity of H(CHB11 F11 ) opens up new opportunities for the easier study of acid-catalyzed hydrocarbon reforming.
