Journal ArticleDOI
Stable GaX2, InX2 and TlX2 radicals
Andrey V. Protchenko,Deepak Dange,Jeffrey Harmer,Jeffrey Harmer,Christina Y. Tang,Andrew D. Schwarz,Michael J. Kelly,Nicholas Phillips,Rémi Tirfoin,Krishna Hassomal Birjkumar,Cameron Jones,Nikolas Kaltsoyannis,Philip Mountford,Simon Aldridge +13 more
TL;DR: The first thermally robust monomeric MX2 radicals of gallium, indium and thallium are reported, which reveal facile one-electron shuttling processes at the metal centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Versatile Catalytic Hydrogenation Using A Simple Tin(IV) Lewis Acid
Daniel J. Scott,Nicholas Phillips,Joshua S. Sapsford,Arron C. Deacy,Matthew J. Fuchter,Andrew E. Ashley +5 more
TL;DR: This highly thermally robust LA is found to be competent in the hydrogenation of a number of different unsaturated functional groups (which is unique to date for main‐group FLP LAs not based on boron), and also displays a remarkable tolerance to moisture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dimethylamine borane dehydrogenation chemistry: syntheses, X-ray and neutron diffraction studies of 18-electron aminoborane and 14-electron aminoboryl complexes
Christina Y. Tang,Nicholas Phillips,Joshua I. Bates,Amber L. Thompson,Matthias J. Gutmann,Simon Aldridge +5 more
TL;DR: Neutron diffraction studies have been used for the first time to define H-atom locations in metal complexes of this type formed under catalytic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal boryl chemistry: complexes of cadmium, mercury and lead.
Andrey V. Protchenko,Deepak Dange,Andrew D. Schwarz,Christina Y. Tang,Nicholas Phillips,Philip Mountford,Cameron Jones,Simon Aldridge +7 more
TL;DR: Synthetic routes to the first boryl complexes of cadmium and mercury are reported via transmetallation from boryllithium; the syntheses of related group 14 systems highlight the additional factors associated with extension to more redox-active post-transition elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling fundamental arene–borane contacts: spontaneous formation of a dibromoborenium cation driven by interaction between a borane Lewis acid and an arene π system
Hassanatu B. Mansaray,Alexander D. Rowe,Nicholas Phillips,Jochen Niemeyer,Michael E. Kelly,David A. Addy,Joshua I. Bates,Simon Aldridge +7 more
TL;DR: Systematic structural and computational studies, and the reactivity displayed by a closely related N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) donor, reveal the role played by arene-borane interactions in this chemistry.
