Hydrogenation Catalysis by the Dimethylglyoxime Cobalt Complex

E-Selective Semi-Hydrogenation of Alkynes by Heterobimetallic Catalysis.

A unique cooperative H2 activation reaction by heterobimetallic (NHC)M'-MCp(CO)2 complexes (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene, M' = Cu or Ag, M = Fe or Ru) has been leveraged to develop a catalytic alkyne semi-hydrogenation transformation. The optimal Ag-Ru catalyst gives high selectivity for converting alkynes to E-alkenes, a rare selectivity mode for reduction reactions with H2. The transformation...

Studies in Asymmetric Catalysis: Supramolecular Catalysis and Borane-assisted Hydrogenation

Efficient Bimolecular Mechanism of Photochemical Hydrogen Production Using Halogenated Boron-Dipyrromethene (Bodipy) Dyes and a Bis(dimethylglyoxime) Cobalt(III) Complex.

A series of Boron-dipyrromethene (Bodipy) dyes were used as photosensitizers for photochemical hydrogen production in conjunction with [Co(III)(dmgH)2pyCl] (where dmgH = dimethylglyoximate, py = pyridine) as the catalyst and triethanolamine (TEOA) as the sacrificial electron donor. The Bodipy dyes are fully characterized by electrochemistry, X-ray crystallography, quantum chemistry calculations...

Regioselective Hydroacylation of 1,3-Dienes by Cobalt Catalysis

We describe a cobalt-catalyzed hydroacylation of 1,3-dienes with non-chelating aldehydes. Aromatic aldehydes provide 1,4-addition products as the major isomer, while aliphatic aldehydes favor 1,2-hydroacylation products. The kinetic profile supports an oxidative cyclization mechanism involving a cobaltacycle intermediate that undergoes transformation with high regio- and stereoselectivity.

Determination of the stability constant of Cobalt (ІІ) – Piroxicam complex by spectrophotometery

In this work, a new spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amount of Cobalt (ІІ) ionwas investigated and the stability constant of the related complex was evaluated 2.174 × 104. In the Cobalt(ІІ)-piroxicam complex, the maximum absorbance wavelength is 570 nm and the linearity of calibrationcurve was investigated (5-10 ppm). The relative standard deviation for seven replicate e...
