Synthesis Of Novel Alkaline Earth Metal Acetylides, Eva Baker
Synthesis Of Novel Alkaline Earth Metal Acetylides, Eva Baker
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Acetylide complexes of the heavy alkaline-earth metals were first introduced by our group. With our group being interested in how the ligand and donor affect the structural chemistry of the resulting complexes, my project was focused on the detailed analysis of past work and the extension towards new ligand and donor sets. The work required the analysis and development of synthetic procedures towards these highly reactive species.
Past synthetic work in our group had established several synthetic routes towards the target compounds including transamination and toluene elimination. Using toluene elimination, I was able to reproduce the synthesis of M(C≡CSiPh3 …
