Donor-flexible ligands are an emerging class of noninnocent ligands. Their ability to adapt their donating strength toward a metal center has had numerous catalytic advantages yet never been utilized stabilize and isolate intermediate complexes within these processes. We demonstrate through the use pincer ligand containing two donor-flexible pyridylidene amide (PYA) arms in coordination with platinum(II) that this adaptability revealed remarkably stable hydride formate complexes. These...
The reason for the discrepancy in reaction rate hydrogenation reactions using cyclopentadienone iron complexes as catalysts, depending on absence or presence of a negative charge-tag (sulfonate phosphonate), was investigated experimentally. Based NMR and kinetic experiments, direct binding to active site catalyst electric field effects influencing transition state energies could be excluded. Preactivation catalysts monoacetonitrile dicarbonyl found superior situ activation tricarbonyl...
Abstract Sensors that can accurately assess oxygen (O 2 ) concentrations in real time are crucial for a wide range of applications spanning personal health monitoring, environmental protection, and industrial process development. Here high‐performance chemiresistive sensor allows the rapid detection O at room temperature under visible light illumination is described. Inspired by operating principles dye‐sensitized solar cells, chemiresistor based on single‐walled carbon nanotube‐titania...
