Di- and triporphyrin arrays consisting of 5,15-diphenylporphyrinatomagnesium(II) (MgDPP) coordinated to free-base and Ni(II) porphyrinyl mono- and bis-phosphine oxides, as well as the self-coordinating diphenyl[10,20-diphenylporphyrinatomagnesium(II)-5-yl]phosphine oxide [MgDPP(Ph(2)PO)], were synthesised in excellent yields and characterised by various spectroscopic techniques. Phosphine oxide...

ammonia is the chief excretory product in fishes. however, non-availability of enough of water in the habitat, may lead to the formation of urea, in fishes. in the present study, the possible role of urea formation to avoid the toxicity of ammonia under water-restricted condition was tested in channa gachua. circulatory urea and ammonia were estimated in the blood of the fishes and glutamate de...

Monophosphines prepared by iron catalysed hydrophosphination have been used as pro-ligands in iron catalysed Negishi cross-coupling of alkyl bromides and diphenyl zinc reagents. The cross-coupling has been investigated with monophosphines with varying electronic properties and we find the simplest, unsubstituted phosphine to offer the optimum reaction conditions (both in terms of yield of diary...

The title complex, [Os(C(6)F(5)S)(3)Cl(C(18)H(12)F(3)P)], displays a trigonal-bipyramidal Os(IV) coordination geometry with the S atoms of three thiol-ate ligands occupying the equatorial positions. The thiol-ate penta-fluoro-phenyl substituents are all placed above the equatorial plane, forming a claw-like cavity which accommodates the chloride ligand with a normal Os-Cl bond length. The phosp...

Although nucleophilic phosphine-catalysis is a powerful tool for the construction of various carbocycles and heterocycles, the reactions in which phosphines are incorporated into the final product are rare, and the reports on phosphine addition to highly electrophilic arynes are scarce. Herein, we report the phosphine triggered multicomponent reaction of arynes and aldehydes, which takes place ...

In this work, reactive absorption of gases in aqueous electrolyte solutions has been investigated resulting in the development of a procedure in order to calculate the concentrations of ionic and molecular species in the liquid phase. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to investigate simultaneous reactive absorption of ammonia and carbon dioxide in partially carbonated ammonia solutio...

Several palladium complexes with bidentate phosphine ligands were tested for their activity in the O-allylation of phenols with allyl alcohol. The use of C3-bridged bidentate phosphine ligands results in very high selectivity for O-allylation. The reactions do not require stoichiometric amounts of additives to control the chemoselectivity. Especially, catalysts with gem-dialkyl substituted C3-b...

N-Phosphine oxide substituted imidazolylidenes (PoxIms) have been synthesized and fully characterized. These species can undergo significant changes to the spatial environment surrounding their carbene center through rotation of the phosphine oxide moiety. Either classical Lewis adducts (CLAs) or frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are thus formed with B(C6 F5 )3 depending on the orientation of the p...

The Mitsunobu reaction is renowned for its mild reaction conditions and broad substrate tolerance, but has limited utility in process chemistry and industrial applications due to poor atom economy and the generation of stoichiometric phosphine oxide and hydrazine by-products that complicate purification. A catalytic Mitsunobu reaction using innocuous reagents to recycle these by-products would ...

Well-behaved and reproducible n-type doping of Si and Sir -$e, by phosphine during gas-source molecular beam epitaxy is demonstrated. No significant reduction of growth rate of these materials in the presence of phosphine is recorded in the doping range of 1017-10’9 cmp3 and perfect surface morphologies are observed. The incorporated P atoms are fully activated without ex situ annealing. The do...
