Lewis base-free thiophosphonium ion: a cationic sulfur atom transfer reagent

Metal-free atom transfer radical polymerization.

Overcoming the challenge of metal contamination in traditional ATRP systems, a metal-free ATRP process, mediated by light and catalyzed by an organic-based photoredox catalyst, is reported. Polymerization of vinyl monomers are efficiently activated and deactivated with light leading to excellent control over the molecular weight, polydispersity, and chain ends of the resulting polymers. Signifi...

Selective halogenation at the pnictogen atom in Lewis-acid/base-stabilised phosphanylboranes and arsanylboranes.

The halogenation of Lewis-acid/base-stabilised phosphanylboranes () and arsanylboranes () with CX4 (X=Cl, Br) leads selectively to the substitution of both protons at the pentel atom and the new compounds [(CO)5W(X2PBH2.NMe3)] (:X=Cl, :X=Br) and [(CO)5W(X2AsBH2.NMe3)] (:X=Cl, :X=Br), respectively, are obtained. The new products were comprehensively characterised by spectroscopic methods and by ...

Monomeric siliconthiodichloride trapped by a Lewis base.

Thiophosgene (CSCl2), a chemical reagent used in numerous organic syntheses, exists in the monomeric form while its heavier silicon analogue [siliconthiodichloride (SiSCl2)] has been isolated so far as a dimer at room temperature and as a tetramer at 180 °C. Herein, we report on the first synthesis, isolation, and characterization of cyclic alkyl(amino) carbene (cAAC) stabilized siliconthiodich...

Lewis‐Acid‐assisted Hydrogen Atom Transfer to Manganese(V)‐Oxo Corrole through Valence Tautomerization

The kinetics of formation of the valence tautomers (tpfc⋅)MnIV(O-LA)] n+ [where LA=ZnII, CaII, ScIII, YbIII, B(C6F5)3, and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); tpfc=5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl) corrole] from (tpfc)MnV(O) were followed by UV/Vis spectroscopy, giving second-order rate constants ranging over five orders of magnitude from 10-2 for Ca to 103  m -1 s-1 for Sc. Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) ...
