Cyclopentyl substituted silanetriol can be prepared and isolated. Its condensation yields the corresponding disiloxanetetrol as a primary condensation product. Further condensation leads to the hexameric polyhedral silsesquioxane cage T6. The latter has been mentioned in the literature before however, lacking structural data. All compounds have been characterized with multinuclear NMR spectrosc...

Inspired by the multicopper active site of laccase, which efficiently catalyzes the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), herein we report a novel bio-inspired ORR catalyst composed of a multinuclear copper complex that was immobilized on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via the covalently grafted triazole-dipyridine (TADPy) dinucleating ligand. This rGO-TADPyCu catalyst exhibited high OR...

The title compound (2) was prepared by reaction of 4-chlorocinnoline with glycidol/sodium hydride in dry DMF, since treatment of cinnolin-4-ol with epichlorohydrin as well as oxidation of 4-allyloxycinnoline did not succeed. Reaction of 2 with primary and secondary amines leads to aminoalcohols characterized by a high tendency to rearrangement and/or elimination. The obtained products were subj...
