- Two flavors of PEPPSI-IPr: Activation and diffusion control in a single NHC-ligated Pd catalyst?
-
Abnormal reactivity has been observed in Negishi, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-couplings in which PEPPSI-IPr (where PEPPSI stands for pyridine enhanced precatalyst preparation, stabilization, and initiation and IPr refers to the NHC ligand) is employed, implicating the presence of two distinct Pd0 species in the catalytic cycle. Polybrominated arenes and organometallic reagents react selectively to give the product of exhaustive polysubstitution regardless of the initial reaction stoichiometry. Competition experiments suggest that, after an initial activation controlled oxidative addition, reductive elimination produces an ultrareactive Pd0 species which consumes all remaining C-Br bonds in the molecule under diffusion control.

- Discotic liquid crystals of transition metal complexes, 31: Establishment of mesomorphism and thermochromism of bis[1,2-bis(4-n-alkoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene]nickel complexes
-
Two series of bis[1,2-bis(4-n-alkylphenyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene]nickel, Cn-Ni (n= 1-12), and bis[1,2-bis(4-n-alkoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-dithiolene]nickel, CnO-Ni(n = 1-12, 14, 16, 18), have been synthesized. Their mesomorphism, thermochromism, supramolecular structures and π-acceptor property have been investigated by using different scanning calorimetry, polarizing microscopy, temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction technique, electronic spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. From the X-ray diffraction and electronic spectral results, it was established that the CnO-Ni complexes for n ≤ 10 exhibit two differently colored discotic lamellar (DL) mesophases whereas none of the Cn-Ni complexes has a mesophase, and that the thermochromism (brown→green) is attributable to a slow transformation from the Ni-Ni bonded dimers to the Ni-S bonded dimers.

- The Synthesis and Transition Temperatures of Some 4,4"-dialkyl- and 4,4"-Alkoxyalkyl-1,1':4',1"-terphenyls with 2,3- or 2',3'-difluoro Substituents and of their Biphenyl Analogues
-
The tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(o)-catalysed coupling of arylboronyc acids with aryl halides is used to prepare several 4,4"-dialkyl- and 4,4"-alkoxyalkyl-1,1':4',1"-terphenyls with 2,3- or 2',3'-difluoro substituents and their related biphenyl systems.Lithiation ortho to a 1,2-difluoroaromatic unit provides the route to the 2,3-difluoroarylboronic acids.The 2,3-difluoro substituted terphenyls are low-melting liquid crystals with wide-range Sc phases and no underlying smectic phase; these compounds are excellent hosts for ferroelectric systems.The compounds with widest Sc ranges are those with the difluoro substituents in an end ring and the compounds with difluoro substituents in the central ring show more nematic character and so are useful for ECB devices.

- Preparation and Properties of Tertiary p-Alkylarylphosphines containing Straight-chain Alkyl Groups
-
A series of tris(p-alkylaryl)phosphines with straight-chain alkyl groups, P(p-C6H4-CnH2n+1)3 where n=2-9, have been prepared by reaction of phosphorus trichloride with the Grignard reagent derived from the corresponding p-bromoalkylbenzene.When n=2 and 3 the phosphines are crystalline solids, but for n>3 they are viscous oils up to n=9, which is a waxy solid.The phosphines have been characterised by microanalysis, and i.r., 1H and 31P n.m.r., and mass spectrometry.The p-substituted-arylphosphines are more sensitive than triphenylphosphine to air; aerial oxidation converts them exclusively into the corresponding phosphine oxides, in contrast to trialkylphosphines which are oxidised to a complex mixture of products.The complexing ability of the new phosphines (PAr3) is demonstrated by their ready displacement of 1,5-cyclo-octadiene (cod) from (M=Pd and Pt) to yield trans- and cis-, respectively.
