Critical analysis of the spin-rotation constants of CF2 and CCl2: A theoretical investigation
2005
Quantum chemical ab initio calculations for the spin-rotation constants of difluorocarbene (CF2) and dichlorocarbene (CCl2) were carried out using coupled-cluster techniques with sequences of correlation-consistent basis sets. Theoretical best estimates were obtained using extrapolation to the complete basis-set limit and taking into account corrections for core correlation, additional diffuse functions and zero-point vibrational effects. It is demonstrated that such accurate theoretical estimates can be used either to support or to challenge the analysis of the experimental spectra and the reliability of the resulting data. 2005 Elsevier B.V.

First donor stabilized-phosphenium copper(I) complexes
2012
Abstract The preliminary studies of coordination properties of one donor stabilized-phosphenium adduct have been explored in copper chemistry. The preparation as well as the characterization of first examples of donor stabilized-phosphenium copper(I) complexes is reported in the paper. Thus, the direct addition of CuBr.SMe2 to an equivalent amount of cationic P‐ligands (L1+ or L2+)(PF6), with and , following by a crystallization in acetonitrile/Et2O led to first copper complexes [(L1,2+)CuBr2−] 1 and 3 and [(L1,2+)Cu+(NCMe)3+](PF6−)2 2 and 4 in a 1:1 ratio. However, when DMF/Et2O mixture was used as crystallization solvent, a stable bromo-bridged copper(I) dimer 5 [(L2+)CuBr(DMF)]2 was obta…
Carbene-metal complexes as molecular scaffolds for construction of through-space TADF emitters
2021
Through-space charge transfer (CT) process is observed in Cu(I) carbene-metal-amide complexes, where conventional imidazole or imidazoline N-heterocyclic (NHC) carbene fragments act as inert linkers and CT proceeds between a metal-bound carbazole donor and a distantly situated carbene-bound phenylsulfonyl acceptor. The resulting electron transfer gives a rise to efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), characterized with high photoluminescence quantum yields (ΦPL up to 90 %) and radiative rates (kr) up to 3.32×105 s-1. TADF process is aided by fast reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) rates of up to 2.56×107 s-1. Such emitters can be considered as hybrids of two existing TA…
A crystalline radical cation derived from Thiele’s hydrocarbon with redox range beyond 1 V
2021
Thiele’s hydrocarbon occupies a central role as an open-shell platform for new organic materials, however little is known about its redox behaviour. While recent synthetic approaches involving symmetrical carbene substitution of the CPh2 termini yield isolable neutral/dicationic analogues, the intervening radical cations are much more difficult to isolate, due to narrow compatible redox ranges (typically 1 V), permitting its isolation in crystalline form. Further single-electron oxidation affords borenium dication 12+, thereby establishing an organoboron redox system fully characterized in all three redox states. We perceive that this strategy can be extended to other transient organic rad…
A theoretical study on NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes and 3-aroylcoumarins: mechanism and enantioselectivity.
2018
NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes to 3-aroylcoumarins to yield dihydrocoumarin-fused dihydropyranones has been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* and MPWB1K/6-311G** computational levels. Two plausible mechanisms have been studied: the “ketene-first” mechanism A and the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. An analysis of the activation Gibbs free energies involved in the two competitive pathways makes it possible to rule out the pathway associated with the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. The first step of the “ketene-first” mechanism A is the formation of zwitterionic intermediate IN1-Zvia a nucleophilic attack of NHC 1 on ketene 2. A [4 + 2] cycloaddition throu…
Synthèse et réactivité chimiques et électrochimiques de dérivés d'imidazoliums : vers des procédés éco-responsables
2015
This work deals with the use of electrochemistry as a tool for alternative synthesis of new azolium-based molecules.A new electrosynthesis method was developed for the synthesis of imidazolium carboxylates (masked carbenes) leading to a wide library of compounds. This approach was compared to already reported chemical syntheses. In the current context of sustainable development, bio based products have been synthesized and optimization of the process was achieved in order to reduce waste and energy consumption.The key role of the hydrogenoxalate anion was demonstrated in the synthesis of ionic liquids and/or imidazolium salts. Some of them were employed as recyclable catalysts for Fischer e…
Pyridylcarbene formation by thermal decomposition of 7-bromo-3-methyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine under pressure
2007
7-Bromo-3-methyl-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridine 1 at 1.7 atm and 100ºC decompose to form a pyridylcarbene intermediate by nitrogen expulsion. The carbene stabilization give 2-bromo-6- vinylpyridine 2, 1-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanol 3, 1-(6-Bromopyridin-2-yl)ethanone 4, 2- bromo-6-[2-(6-bromopyridin-2-yl)-2-methyl-trans-cyclopropyl]pyridine 5, and 2-bromo-6-[2-(6- bromopyridin-2-yl)-2-methyl-cis-cyclopropyl]pyridine 6.

Synthesis, reactivity, crystal structures and catalytic activity of new chelating bisimidazolium-carbene complexes of Rh
2003
A series of new bridging, chelating and pincer N-heterocyclic carbenes of RhI and RhIII have been obtained under mild conditions. The compounds have been fully characterised and their crystal structures determined. The chelate-pincer coordination of the ligands means that the stability of these compounds is significantly greater than other carbene complexes of Rh. The compounds have been tested in catalytic reactions such as hydrogen transfer from alcohols to ketones, and hydrosilylation of terminal olefins and alkynes; they show a high activity for both processes.

124I Radiolabeling of a AuIII‐NHC Complex for In Vivo Biodistribution Studies†
2020
Abstract AuIII complexes with N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have shown remarkable potential as anticancer agents, yet their fate in vivo has not been thoroughly examined and understood. Reported herein is the synthesis of new AuIII‐NHC complexes by direct oxidation with radioactive [124I]I2 as a valuable strategy to monitor the in vivo biodistribution of this class of compounds using positron emission tomography (PET). While in vitro analyses provide direct evidence for the importance of AuIII‐to‐AuI reduction to achieve full anticancer activity, in vivo studies reveal that a fraction of the AuIII‐NHC prodrug is not immediately reduced after administration but able to reach the major…
Synthesis of 2-anilinobenzimidates, anthranilamides, and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones from N-heterocyclic carbenes of indazole
2015
N-Heterocyclic carbenes of indazole (indazol-3-ylidenes), which are substituted at N1 with aromatics were generated in situ from the corresponding indazolium salts. At 60 °C the indazol-3-ylidenes underwent a ring-opening under N–N bond cleavage to intermediary N-(6-methylenecyclohexa-2,4-dien-1-ylidene)anilines. Trapping of these intermediates by alcohols proved to be a convenient method for the preparation of 2-anilinobenzimidates, which have scarcely been described in the literature. The reaction temperature avoids carbene dimerization, which occurs at −80 °C or rearrangement of the ring-opened intermediate to acridines, which affords 100 °C. Water converted the ring-opened products into…
