To estimate adhesion at polymer]solid interfaces, model substrates with varying ]NH density on Al O were prepared by a 2 2 3 Ž . Ž . self-assembly of mixed amine terminated silanes AS and methyl terminated silanes MS . The density of ]NH groups on 2 Al O was varied by changing the mol.% of AS and MS in solution. The model surfaces were characterized by means of X-ray 2 3 Ž . Ž . photoelectron s...

An iridium-porphyrin ligand, Ir(TCPP)Cl (TCPP 1⁄4 tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin), has been utilized to react with HfCl4 to generate a stable Ir(III)-porphyrin metal–organic framework of the formula [(Hf6(m3O)8(OH)2(H2O)10)2(Ir(TCPP)Cl)3]$solvents (Ir-PMOF-1(Hf)), which possesses two types of open cavities (1.9 1.9 1.9 and 3.0 3.0 3.0 nm) crosslinked through orthogonal channels (1.9 1.9 nm)...

The conversion of renewable biomass resources to synthetically valuable chemicals is highly desirable, but remains a formidable challenge in regards to the substrate scope and reaction conditions. Here we present the development of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane-catalysed conversion of furans via ring-opening and closing cascade processes to afford silicon-functionalized synthetic chemicals unde...

A new and convenient protocol for the catalytic dehydration of aromatic and aliphatic amides using silanes in the presence of catalytic amounts of fluoride is presented. The synthesis of aliphatic and aromatic nitriles proceeds with high selectivity under mild conditions. Notably, a wide substrate range is converted in good to excellent yields.

The amino imidazolin-2-imine ligand [HAmIm, 1,2-(DippNH)–C6H4–N═C(NiPrCMe)2] is employed in the synthesis of paramagnetic cobalt(I) arene complex Co(AmIm)(η6-C6H6). latter was found to be a highly efficient (pre)catalyst H/D exchange reactions with deuterium (D2) hydrosilanes. scope comprises primary tertiary silanes at low catalyst loading 1 mol %. Additionally, same able catalyze hydrosilylat...

Dehydrogenative silylation, which produces vinyl silanes, was generally regarded as a side reaction in hydrosilylation of alkenes. However, due to utility transition-metal catalyzed dehydrogenative silylations have been developed. This mini-review focuses on recent developments manganese-catalyzed selective silylation

Chlorodefluorination reactions of fluoromethanes and fluoroolefins catalysed by the highly Lewis acidic nanoscopic aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF, AlClxF3−x, x≈0.05–0.3) in presence ClSiEt3 were studied. Both convert under mild reaction conditions fluorine-chlorine exchange steps into chlorinated fluoro derivatives. MAS NMR studies provided information on interaction silanes hexafluoropropene wit...
