Naturforsch. 34b, 700-705 (1979); received January 9, 1979 Metallocycles, Organo-Iridium Compounds, Oxidative Addition The reaction between (h5-cyclopentadienyl)carbonyl(triphenylphosphine)iridium and bis(pentafluorophenyl)acetylene has been investigated in detail. As in ...

Computational estimates have been made for the P=S and As=S bond strengths in triphenylphosphine sulfide and triphenylarsine sulfide, on the basis of G3 calculations for the methyl analogues and isodesmic-exchange reactions. Also, with the performance of the G3 method level for related compounds taken into consideration, the best estimates are 82 and 68 kcal/mol, respectively. While the value f...

A trinucleating framework was assmbled by templation of a heptadentate ligand around yttrium and lanthanides. The generated complexes orient three sets of two or three N-donors each for binding additional metal centers. Addition of three equivalents of copper(I) leads to the formation of tricopper(I) species. Reactions with dioxygen at low temperatures generate species whose spectroscopic featu...

Statistical copolymers of norbornene (NBE) with cyclopentene (CP) were prepared by ring-opening metathesis polymerization, employing the 1st-generation Grubbs' catalyst, in the presence or absence of triphenylphosphine, PPh₃. The reactivity ratios were estimated using the Finemann-Ross, inverted Finemann-Ross, and Kelen-Tüdos graphical methods, along with the computer program COPOINT, which eva...

A new esterification method was investigated using triphenylphosphz'ne dibromide as a dehydrating agent. This investigation has established that the method is useful when the acid is aromati~ or arylallylic. That primary and secondary alcohols esteTZfy acid satisfactorily whereas tertiary alcohols fail to react was also established in this experiment.

Thermal treatment of the Pd complex bearing triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and acetate as ligands (bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) diacetate, Pd(PPh3)2(OAc)2) in toluene resulted formation aggregated nanoparticles (Pd-NPs). The dispersion could be achieved after addition *BEA zeolite during thermal Pd(PPh3)2(OAc)2 (Pd/*BEA). Further, Suzuki cross-coupling was performed on prepared catalysts uti...

7-hydroxy coumarin undergoes neutral conditions with alkyl propiolates in the presence of triphenylphosphine, and bysubstituation the corresponding aryl vinyl ethers was obtained in good yields

Protonation of the reactive intermediates generated in the raction between dalkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine by isonitrosoacetophenone leads to vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo intramolecular Wittig reaction to produce dalkyl 4-phenyl-N-hydroxypyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylates in moderate yields.
