Carboxamidate Ligand Noninnocence in Proton Coupled Electron Transfer
McDonald, Aidan; McManus, Caitlín; Mondal, Prasenjit; Lovisari, Marta; Twamley, Brendan (2019)Recent breakthroughs have brought into question the innocence (or not) of carboxamidate donor ligands in the reactivity of high-valent oxidants. To test the reactivity properties of high-valent carboxamidate complexes, ... -
Investigating the Impact of Conformational Molecular Engineering on the Crystal Packing of Cavity Forming Porphyrins
Senge, Mathias; Flanagan, Keith J.; Twamley, Brendan (2019)Herein we report the synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetraaryl-(X)-substituted- 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrins (OETArXPs) and a structural investigation of their solid-state properties via small molecule X-ray diffraction. ... -
Perfluorinated phosphine and hybrid P-O ligands for Pd catalysed C-C bond forming reactions in solution and on Teflon supports
Baker, Robert; Begum, Farzana; Ikram, Muhammad; Twamley, Brendan (2019)The synthesis of two types of phosphine ligands that feature perfluorinated ponytails is reported. A bidentate (RfCH2CH2)2PCH2CH2P(CH2CH2Rf)2 (Rf = CF3(CF2)n; n = 5, 7) and an alkoxyphosphine made by ring opening a fluorous ... -
Preparation and Characterisation of a Bis‐μ‐Hydroxo‐NiIII2 Complex
McDonald, Aidan; Spedalotto, Giuseppe; Gericke, Robert; Lovisari, Marta; Farquhar, Erik R.; Twamley, Brendan (2019)Hydroxide‐bridged high‐valent oxidants have been implicated as the active oxidants in methane monooxygenases and other oxidases that employ bimetallic clusters in their active site. To understand the properties of such ... -
Synthesis and Properties of BODIPY Appended Tetraphenylethylene Scaffolds as Photoactive Arrays
Senge, Mathias; Khurana, Bhavya; Grover, Nitika; Twamley, Brendan; Emandi, Ganapathi; Sample, Harry C. (2021)Tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and its derivatives exhibit excellent aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties. The TPE unit is easily accessible, and many functional groups can be introduced in a facile manner to yield ...
