A series of iron complexes ligated by 2-imino-1,10-phenanthrolinyl ligands, LFeCl 2 (L ) 2-(ArNd CR)-1,10-phen), were synthesized and sufficiently characterized by elemental and spectroscopic analysis along with X-ray diffraction analysis. Activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), these iron(II) complexes show high catalytic activities up to 8.95 × 10 7 g mol -1 (Fe) h -1 for ethylene oligomerization. The distribution of oligomers produced follows Schluz-Flory rules with high selectivity for R-olefins. Both the steric and electronic effects of coordinative ligands affect the catalytic activity and the properties of the catalytic products. The parameters of the reaction conditions were also investigated to explore the catalytic potentials of these complexes.
Tetrathiometalates [WS4]2− are the nodal building blocks in a new kind of heterometallic interpenetrating three‐dimensional cluster coordination polymer (see picture) that has interesting nonlinear optical properties. The polymer exhibits optical self‐focusing behavior and reverse saturable absorption effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
