We report the synthesis of cyclic cobaltocenium olefins (cationic cobaltocenophane or ansa-cobaltocenium). This is prepared by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) diallyl cobaltocenium, which isomerizes into two different dienes. The isomerization terminal alkene at higher temperature results in thermodynamically more stable internal alkene, supported computational calculation. RCM these isomers prod...

In this paper, Grubbs- and Hoveyda–Grubbs-type olefin metathesis catalysts featuring N-cyclopentyl/N’-mesityl backbone-substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized. Their propensity to promote the alternating ring-opening copolymerization (ROMP) of norbornene (NBE) with cyclooctene (COE) or cyclopentene (CPE) was evaluated compared that shown by analogous N-cyclohexyl compl...

Post-synthesis DNA modification is a very useful method for DNA functionalization. This is achieved by using a modified NTP, which has a handle for further modifications, replacing the corresponding natural NTP in polymerase-catalyzed DNA synthesis. Subsequently, the handle can be used for further functionalization, preferably through a very fast reaction. Herein we describe polymerase-mediated...

Abstract Using a magnetron sputtering approach that allows size-controlled formation of nanoclusters, we have created palladium nanoclusters combine the features both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Here report atomic structures electronic environments series metal in ionic liquids at different stages formation, leading to discovery Pd with core ca . 2 nm surrounded by diffuse dynamic ...
