Since the initial preparation of (η5‐C5H5)Mn(CO)3 by Fischer and Jira in 1954, many methods have been developed for the synthesis of this compound (often referred to as “cymantrene”) and its C5 substituted derivatives. Interestingly, each of these preparations has at least one significant drawback from a preparative perspective (thallium reagents, high pressures, poor yields, or reactants that require significant preparative investment). Surprisingly missing from this collection of preparative methods is the direct reaction between commercially available Mn(CO)5Br and NaC5H5. In 1988, however, Smart and coworkers found …
Cucurbit[8]Uril Rotaxanes, Vijayakumar Ramalingam, Adam R. Urbach
Cucurbit[8]Uril Rotaxanes, Vijayakumar Ramalingam, Adam R. Urbach
Chemistry Faculty Research
The synthesis of [2]rotaxanes, each comprising a viologen core threaded through a cucurbit[8]uril (Q8, Figure 1) macrocycle and stoppered by tetraphenylmethane groups, and their binding to second guests as inclusion complexes in organic and aqueous media are described. Stoppering was observed to have little effect on binding. Chemical modification of the threaded guest was used to control solubility and binding characteristics, thus demonstrating a novel approach to making artificial receptors with readily modifiable properties.
Antiaromatic Dianions: Dianions Of Dixanthylidene By Reduction And Attempted Excited-State Deprotonation, Mary Black, Clifford Woodford, Nancy S. Mills
Antiaromatic Dianions: Dianions Of Dixanthylidene By Reduction And Attempted Excited-State Deprotonation, Mary Black, Clifford Woodford, Nancy S. Mills
Chemistry Faculty Research
Reduction of dixanthylidene with potassium or lithium resulted in formation of the antiaromatic dianion in high yield. Attempts to form the dianion by excited-state deprotonation of dixanthene with n-butyllithium/TMEDA resulted in formation of the tetraanion from deprotonation ortho to the oxygen. Orientation of the sp3 hydrogens presumably allows preferential deprotonation of the xanthene rings.
Air And Water Free Solid-Phase Synthesis Of Thiol Stabilized Au Nanoparticles With Anchored, Recyclable Dendrimer Templates, John D. Gilbertson, G. Vijayaraghavan, K. J. Stevenson, Bert D. Chandler
Air And Water Free Solid-Phase Synthesis Of Thiol Stabilized Au Nanoparticles With Anchored, Recyclable Dendrimer Templates, John D. Gilbertson, G. Vijayaraghavan, K. J. Stevenson, Bert D. Chandler
Chemistry Faculty Research
Solid-phase synthetic templates for Au nanoparticles were developed using Merrifield resins and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. This synthetic scheme affords the opportunity to prepare metal nanoparticles in the absence of air and water, and it does not necessitate phase transfer agents that can be difficult to remove in subsequent steps. Amine-terminated generation 5 PAMAM (G5NH2) dendrimers were grafted to anhydride functionalized polystyrene resin beads and alkylated with 1,2-epoxydodecane to produce G5C12anch. The anchored dendrimers bound both CoII and AuIII salts from toluene solutions at ratios comparable to those of solution phase alkyl-terminated PAMAM dendrimers. The encapsulated AuIII salts could be reduced …

Reaction of [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 with K(η5-C5HPh4) in refluxing diglyme yields (η5-C5Ph4)2Ru in ca 50% yield. The complex was not susceptible to oxidation or reduction. (C5HPH4)2Ru crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group with a = 8.549(4), b = 10.793(4), c = 12.842(5) Å, α = 65.98(3), β = 73.10(3), γ = 83.49(3)° and Z = 1. The least-squares data refined to R(F) = 3.53% and R(wF = 3.82% for the …
