Abstract:The incorporation of boron functionalities into transition-metal catalysts has become a promising strategy to improve catalytic performance, although their synthesis typically entails the preparation of sophisticated bifunctional ligands. We report here the facile and direct postsynthetic functionalization of rhodium(I) compound [(η 5 -C 9 H 7 )Rh(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (1) by treatment with perfluorinated boranes. Borane addition to 1 results in an unusual C(sp 2 )-H hydride migration from the indenyl ligand to the meta… Show more
Octahedral Mn(I) complexes bearing tridentate donor ligands [(L∩L’∩L’’)(CO)2MnX] have recently emerged as major players in catalytic (de)hydrogenation processes. While most of these systems are still based on structurally rigid pincer...
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.
