Crystalline gas of 1,1,1-trichloroethane
2011
Isobaric freezing of 1,1,1-trichloroethane yields crystals where all the intermolecular contacts are much longer than the sums of the van der Waals radii and only in the structure compressed to ca. 1.2 GPa do the first Cl⋯Cl contacts become commensurate with this sum. This sheds new light on the range of intermolecular interactions that are capable of controlling molecular re-orientation and arrangement.
Gold(I)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Cycloaddition of Allenamides with α,β-Unsaturated Hydrazones: Efficient Access to Highly Substituted Cyclobutanes
2014
α,β-Unsaturated N,N-dialkyl hydrazones undergo a mild [2 + 2] cycloaddition to allenamides when treated with a suitable gold catalyst. The method, which represents the first application of N,N-dialkyl hydrazones in gold catalysis, is compatible with a wide variety of substituents at the alkenyl moiety of the hydrazone component, proceeds with excellent levels of regio- and diastereoselectivity, and provides densely substituted cyclobutanes with good to excellent yields.
Enantio- and Diastereocontrol in Intermolecular Cyclopropanation Reaction of Styrene Catalyzed by Dirhodium(II) Complexes with Bulky ortho-Metalated …
2006
Enantiomerically pure dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated para-substituted aryl phosphines have been shown to lead to an enantio- and diastereoselective cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. Enantioselectivities up to 91% and diastereoselectivities up to 90% are observed for ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate. High enantio- and diastereoselectivities are observed for the synthesis of ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate using water as solvent. Additionally, a (+)-nonlinear effect, (+)-NLE, has been observed and studied in the asymmetric catalytic reaction developed in n-pentane.
Synthesis, reactions and structural features of monofluorinated cyclopropanecarboxylates
2002
Abstract Monofluorinated cyclopropanecarboxylates are available in racemic or optically active form by transition metal-catalyzed reactions of vinylfluorides with diazoacetates. From α-fluorostyrene and tert-butyl diazoacetate in the presence of 2 mol% of an enantiopure bis(oxazoline) copper complex, a 81:19 mixture of tert-butyl trans- and cis-2-fluoro-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylates was obtained with high enantiomeric excess (ee) of 93 or 89%, respectively. The corresponding racemic ethylesters were used as starting materials for the synthesis of carboxamides, of the cis- and trans-isomers of analogues of tranylcypromine, an anti-depressive drug and several of its homologous fluorinated …
Enantiocontrol in the intermolecular cyclopropanation reaction catalyzed by dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated aryl phosphine ligands
2001
(P) and (M) dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated aryl phosphines are assessed as chiral catalysts in the enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrenes by ethyl diazoacetate; enantioselectivities up to 91% and up to 87%, respectively, for cis- and trans-2-arylcyclopropanecarboxylates are observed.

Enantio- and diastereocontrol in intermolecular cyclopropanation reaction of styrene catalyzed by dirhodium(II) complexes with bulky ortho-metalated …
2004
Enantiomerically pure dirhodium(II) complexes with ortho-metalated p-substituted aryl phosphines have been shown to be enantio- and diastereoselective in the cyclopropanation of styrene by ethyl diazoacetate. Enantioselectivities up to 91% and diastereoselectivities up to 90% are observed for ethyl cis-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate.

Monolayer Formation of Molybdenum Carbonyl on Cu(111) Revealed by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Density Functional Theory
2012
International audience; Molybdenum carbonyl Mo(CO)(6) was adsorbed on the Cu(111) surface at 160 K in the monolayer coverage range and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. A well-ordered monolayer of hexacarbonyl molecules was observed experimentally for the first time. The monolayer has a hexagonal structure compatible with a (root 7 x root 7)R19 superlattice on the copper (111) plane. The arrangement and orientation of the molecules on the surface were determined by density functional theory calculations, including van der Waals interactions. The comparison of adsorption and cohesive energies reveals that the molecule-substrate interaction is stronger than the intermolecular one, whi…
Partitioning study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons between water and some selected water-insoluble phases
2007
An investigation on the partitioning of naphthalene and phenanthrene between water and some water-insoluble phases has been carried out by Uv-vis-NIR spectrophotometry. The analysis of the experimental results emphasized the role of intermolecular interactions and structural features of the hosting phases as driving forces of the partitioning of these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The critical comparison of the resulting distribution constants allowed to evaluate the potentials of some extracting phases to set up sensitive analytical methods and/or effective environment remediation technologies.
Conformational analysis of α,β-dehydropeptide models at the HF and DFT levels
2004
Abstract The Ramachandran potential energy surfaces of N-acetyl-α,β-dehydroamino acid N′-monomethylamides Ac-ΔXaa-NHMe (ΔXaa=ΔAla, (Z)-ΔPhe; 1, 2) and N-acetyl-α,β-dehydroamino acid N′,N′-dimethylamides Ac-ΔXaa-NMe2 (ΔXaa=ΔAla, (Z)-ΔPhe, (Z)-ΔAbu; 3–5) were calculated at the HF/6-31G*//HF/3-21G level. The conformers localised were fully optimised at the DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G** level and their relative stabilities were analysed in terms of both π-conjugation and internal hydrogen bonding. The Ac-ΔXaa-NMe2 molecules reveal the low-energy conformer H/F, φ=−41±4°, ψ=128±4°, which is not too easily accessible for common amino acid residues. This conformer is stabilised by the bifurcated N2–CH3 O1 int…
Effects of electron donating/withdrawing groups in the 5-substituted-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde on the synthesis of neutral cubanes with a NiII4O4core: sy…
2016
Two tetranuclear cubane-like nickel(II) complexes of formula [Ni4(CH3O)4(L1)4(CH3OH)4] (1) and [Ni4(CH3O)4(L2)4(CH3OH)4] (2) (HL1 = 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and HL2 = 2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde) have been prepared by the reaction of NiCl2·6H2O with methanolic solutions of HL1 and HL2 in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature. Complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that 1 and 2 have a cubane-type structural topology with four Ni(II) ions and four methoxo-oxygen atoms regularly alternating at the corners. Each metal ion in 1 and 2 is six-coordinate in a distorte…
