Collaborative Boron Cluster Paper Published

7/9/2021

0 Comments

 
A collaborative paper involving the Piotr Kaszyński group at the Center for Marcomolecular and Molecular Chemistry, Łódź, Poland, Prof. Michael Sponssler at Syracuse, and the Shaughnessy group was recently published in Organometallics.  The paper is entitled, "Decaborate [closo-B10H10]2– as an efficient conduit of electronic effects: Comparative studies of Fe…Fe communication in [{(η5-Cp)(dppe)Fe}2{μ2-(NC-X-CN)}]n+ (n =0,2)."  A portion of the experimental work on this project was completed during Kevin Shaughnessy's Fulbright stay in Łódź in spring 2020.

Hu paper on structural characterization of trineopentylphosphine complexes published.

9/25/2019

0 Comments

 
A paper by Dr. Ethan Hu entitled, "Synthesis, Structural Characterization, and Coordination Chemistry of (Trineopentylphosphine)palladium(aryl)bromide Dimer Complexes ([(Np3P)Pd(Ar)Br]2)," was published in Inorganic Chemistry.  Co-authors on the paper are, Monica Vasiliu, Deidra Gerlach, Fengrui Qu, Trent Stein, Dr. David Dixon, and Kevin Shaughnessy.  The paper describes the structure of the trineopentylphosphine ligand in [(Np3P)Pd(Ar)Br]2 complexes as a function of the steric demand of the aryl group.  The trineopentylphosphine is highly flexible allowing it to accommodate other sterically demanding ligands.

Precatalyst activation paper published in Organometallics

4/16/2018

0 Comments

 
A paper authored by Kerry Barnett, James Howard, Renee Stullich, Adam Shipley, and Colin Treager entitled, "Air-Stable [(R3P)PdCl2]2 Complexes of Neopentylphosphines as Cross- Coupling Precatalysts: Catalytic Application and Mechanism of Catalyst Activation and Deactivation," was published in Organometallics.  This paper describes the use of [(R3P)PdCl2]2 complexes as catalysts in the Suzuki coupling.  A study of the mechanism of conversion of the Pd(II) precatalyst to the Pd(0) active species showed that palladacycle formation was a competitive pathway in acetonitrile.  Switching the solvent to toluene eliminated formation of the palladacycle byproduct.  This solvent switch allowed a 50-fold decrease in catalyst loading.
