1:1 and 1:2 lead(II) complexes with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Dmphen), {[Pb(Dmphen)(NO3)n] and [Pb(Dmphen)2(ClO4)2]} have been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 207Pb NMR spectroscopy. The structure of these complexes was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The single crystal X-ray data of [Pb(Dmphen)(NO3)n] show the complex to be polymeric...

Depending on reaction conditions, the phosphonylation of N-alkylacetamides with H3PO3-P C I3 in B-HC1 media (B = Py, Bu3N) gives either l-alkylaminoethylidene-l,l-bisphosphonic acids (la—e) or previously unknown l-alkylaminobutane-l,l,3,3-tetrayl-tetrakisphosphonic dianhydrides (2a-e). The latter convert into monocyclic forms (3a-e) under mild acidic hydrolysis. Acyclic forms (4a-e) cannot be i...

The construction of carbon-carbon bonds, particularly with concomitant control of newly formed asymmetric centers, is of paramount importance for the development of synthetic routes to complex organic molecules. While cross-coupling reactions for the generation of sp(2) carbon centers are well established, similar methodology for the formation and control of sp(3)-hydridized carbon stereocenter...

Unsymmetrical functionalised cyanine dyes, covering the whole colour range, were readily synthesised (in 100 mg amounts) by a combination of microwave and solid-phase methodologies.
