Journal ArticleDOI
What can NMR spectroscopy of selenoureas and phosphinidenes teach us about the π-accepting abilities of N-heterocyclic carbenes?
Sai V. C. Vummaleti,David J. Nelson,Albert Poater,Adrián Gómez-Suárez,David B. Cordes,Alexandra M. Z. Slawin,Steven P. Nolan,Luigi Cavallo +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the link between the shielding of the selenium center and the electronic properties of the NHCs was explored, and it was shown that dSe is correlated to the energy gap between a filled lone pair orbital on Se and the empty p* orbital corresponding to the Se-NHC bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ascorbic Acid as a Bifunctional Hydrogen Bond Donor for the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonates from CO2 under Ambient Conditions
Sunatda Arayachukiat,Chutima Kongtes,Alexander Barthel,Sai V. C. Vummaleti,Albert Poater,Sippakorn Wannakao,Luigi Cavallo,Valerio D'Elia +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the ascorbic acid/TBAI binary system was applied for the cycloaddition of CO2 to various epoxides under ambient or mild conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative Effect of Monopodal Silica-Supported Niobium Complex Pairs Enhancing Catalytic Cyclic Carbonate Production.
Valerio D'Elia,Hailin Dong,Aaron J. Rossini,Cory M. Widdifield,Sai V. C. Vummaleti,Yury Minenkov,Albert Poater,Edy Abou-Hamad,Jérémie D. A. Pelletier,Luigi Cavallo,Lyndon Emsley,Lyndon Emsley,Jean-Marie Basset +12 more
TL;DR: With the support of a systematic DFT study carried out on model silica surfaces, the observed differences in catalytic efficiency were correlated with an unprecedented cooperative effect between two neighboring Nb centers on the surface of 2a, in an excellent agreement with previous discoveries regarding the mechanism of NbCl5-catalyzed cycloaddition in the homogeneous phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the pKa‐Dependent Activity of Hydroxyl Hydrogen Bond Donors in the Organocatalyzed Cycloaddition of Carbon Dioxide to Epoxides: Experimental and Theoretical Study
Prapussorn Yingcharoen,Chutima Kongtes,Sunatda Arayachukiat,Kittipong Suvarnapunya,Sai V. C. Vummaleti,Sippakorn Wannakao,Luigi Cavallo,Albert Poater,Valerio D' Elia +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Thailand Research Fund (Grant No. RSA6080059) for funding their work and the Spanish MINECO for a project CTQ2014-59832-JIN, the Generalitat de Catalunya for the project 2017SGR39 and EU for a FEDER fund (UNGI08-4E-003).
Journal ArticleDOI
