Peroxy radical hydrogen shift (H-shift) reactions are key to the formation of highly oxidized organic molecules and particle growth in atmosphere. In an H-shift reaction, a atom is transferred peroxy from within same molecule form hydroperoxy alkyl radical, which can undergo O2 uptake further reactions. Here we use experimentally verified theoretical approach based on multi-conformer transition state theory calculate rate constants for systematic set H-shifts. Our results show that...
Hydroperoxides are formed in significant amounts the atmosphere by oxidation of volatile organic compounds and key aerosol formation. In a room-temperature experiment, we detected formation bimolecular complexes tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) corresponding alcohol tert-butanol (t-BuOH), with dimethyl ether (DME) as hydrogen-bond acceptor. Using combination Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy quantum chemical calculations, compare strength OH-O hydrogen bond total complexation. We...
We report the synthesis, characterization, and magnetic properties of eight neutral functionalized trigonal lanthanide coordination complexes LnL with Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), Er (5), Tm (6), Yb (7), Lu (8). These were prepared through a one-pot synthesis where, first, ligand H3L was synthesized in situ Schiff base reaction tris(2-aminoethyl)amine 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol. Following addition Ln(OTf)3·xH2O base, obtained. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms that all are isostructural....
BINOL N-triflylphosphoramides are versatile organocatalysts for reactions of carbonyl compounds. Upon activation by N-triflylphosphoramides, divinyl ketones undergo rapid and highly enantioselective (torquoselective) Nazarov cyclizations, making one the most important classes catalysts cyclization. However, mechanism factors that determine enantioselectivity have not been established until now. Theoretical calculations with ONIOM M06-2X reported which examine how activate control...
We present a synthetic strategy to prepare the first heterodinuclear lanthanide(<sc>iii</sc>) cryptate complexes. The design ensures that complexes are stable in solution for days. exchange coupling YbYb, GdGd and YbGd is investigated.
Heterolanthanide complexes are difficult to synthesize owing the similar chemistry of lanthanide ions. Conse-quently, very few purely heterolanthanide have been synthesized. This is despite fact that such hold inter-esting optical and magnetic properties. To fine-tune these properties, it important one can choose with any given combination lanthanides. Herein we report a synthetic procedure which yields pure heterodinuclear cryptates LnLn*LX3 (X = NO3- or OTf-) based on cryptand H3L...
