Role of Donor and Acceptor Substituents on the Nonlinear Optical Properties of Gold Nanoclusters
2018
In recent years, a large number of monolayer-protected clusters (MPCs) have been studied by means of single crystal structure characterization. A central aspect of research on MPCs is the correlation of their interesting optical properties with structural features and the formulation of a theoretical framework that allows interpretation of their unique properties. For this, superatom and jellium models have been proven successful. Little attention, however, has been paid to the influence of the protecting ligands. Here, we investigate the effect of changes in [Au25(SR)18-x(SR′)x]−, where SR′ represents a para-substituted thiophenolate derivative (SPh-4-X). We computed the first hyperpolariz…
Thioetherification of Chloroheteroarenes: A Binuclear Catalyst Promotes Wide Scope and High Functional-Group Tolerance
2014
A constrained binuclear palladium catalyst system affords selective thioetherification of a wide range of functionalized arenethiols with chloroheteroaromatic partners with the highest turnover numbers (TONs) reported to date and tolerates a large variety of reactive functions. The scope of this system includes the coupling of thiophenols with six- and five-membered 2-chloroheteroarenes (i.e., functionalized pyridine, pyrazine, quinoline, pyrimidine, furane, and thiazole) and 3-bromoheteroarenes (i.e., pyridine and furane). Electron-rich congested thiophenols and fluorinated thiophenols are also suitable partners. The coupling of unprotected amino-2-chloropyridines with thiophenol and the s…
Trapping AsPh3 via reaction with NiS/γ-Al2O3 in the presence of H2: Reaction mechanism and kinetics
2021
International audience; Removal of As from petroleum feedstocks is an important process which can be realized using As trapping mass containing supported nickel sulfide. In order to understand the mechanism of the trapping we studied the reaction of AsPh3 with NiS/γ-Al2O3 in the presence of H2 in a batch reactor in toluene solution at 230 °C. This reaction results in formation of NiAs, benzene and H2S. Also, the intermediate species, thiophenol and diphenylsulfide, were observed. Despite formation of NiAs layer in the course of reaction, the rate of AsPh3 decomposition is not affected by the solid state diffusion up to ∼ 50 % of nickel conversion. The rate determining step in these conditio…
The catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene at the [MoVIO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2]2? complex intercalated in a Zn(II)-Al(III) layered double hydroxide host: A …
2001
The heterogeneous reduction of nitrobenzene by thiophenol catalyzed by the dianionic bis(2-sulfanyl-2,2-diphenylethanoxycarbonyl) dioxomolybdate(VI) complex, [MoVIO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2]2−, intercalated into a Zn(II)–Al(III) layered double hydroxide host [Zn3−xAlx(OH)6]x+, has been investigated under anaerobic conditions. Aniline was found to be the only product formed through a reaction consuming six moles of thiophenol for each mol of aniline produced. The kinetics of the system have been analyzed in detail. In excess of thiophenol, all reactions follow first-order kinetics (ln([PhNO2]/[PhNO2]0) = −kappt) with the apparent rate constant kapp being a complex function of both initial nitrobenz…
Cooperative Effects in Aminothiols: Acid-Base Equilibria and the Molecular Structure of 2-(N, N-Dimethylaminomethyl)thiophenol
2008
Abstract 2-(N,N-Dimethylaminomethyl)thiophenol, (1, HL), is present as a non-zwitterionic aminothiol in the solid state, exhibiting an intramolecular S-H···N hydrogen bond. The S···N distances of the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are 2.929(10) and 3.050(10) Å. This structural feature is also present in an ab initio (MP2/6-31G*) optimized molecular structure. The investigation of the hydrogen bond by ab initio methods supports an n(N)-σ *(S-H) interaction as the reason for this bond type. On the basis of data from potentiometric acid-base titrations of a 0.01 M aqueous solution of [H2L]Cl with a 0.1 M aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, values of 4.09±0.01 and 11.50±0.01…
