Here we report the reaction of diaryl substituted esters with frustrated Lewis pairs. Interestingly this results in divergent pathways, one whereby the diaryl moiety is stabilized by the Lewis basic phosphine or the alternative pathway, wherein a single-electron transfer process occurs generating the [Mes3P]+·/[C(H)Ar2]· radical ion pair. The latter species undergoes a homocoupling reaction to yield tetraphenylethane derivatives. In the presence of olefins, this reactivity can be harnessed through an sp2-sp3 C–C heterocoupling reaction to...

Herein, we disclose the utilisation of iodonium ylides to access a range of boron dienolates. Heating of acyclic iodonium ylides in the presence of different aryl boranes leads to the formation of rare 1,3-carboboration products. This methodology could not be expanded to cyclic iodonium ylides which instead formed a Lewis acid–base adduct. Products proved to be remarkably stable under a wide range of conditions allowing for their long term storage. The data included consists of...

A manganese-catalyzed one-pot conversion of nitroarenes into N-methylarylamines has been developed. This transfer hydrogenation method employs a well-defined bench stable Mn PN3P pincer precatalyst in combination with methanol as both the reductant and the C1 source. A selection of commercially available nitroarenes was converted into N-methylarylamines in synthetically useful yields. Analysis of reaction products from this methodology resulted in the following data: 1H, 19F and 13C NMR raw data files IR spectra High resolution mass...

The direct C3 alkylation of indoles and oxindoles is a challenging transformation and only a few direct methods exist. Utilizing the underexplored ability of triaryl boranes to mediate the heterolytic cleavage of α-nitrogen C–H bonds in amines, we have developed a catalytic approach for the direct C3 alkylation of a wide range of indoles and oxindoles using amine based alkylating agents. We also employed this borane-catalyzed strategy in an alkylation-ring opening cascade. Analysis of reaction...

Laboratory shearing experiments were conducted on samples of chlorite schist, epidotite, and a hornblende-rich amphibolite. The samples were powdered to a starting grain size of < 125 µm before experiments were started. The experiments were conducted at room temperature, under fluid-saturated conditions and an applied normal stress of 10 MPa in a single-direct shear device at Marum Research Faculty at the University of Bremen, Germany. This apparatus induces planar shear by displacing the plates relative...

Two healing agents used in this study, cyanoacrylate (CA) and sodium silicate (SS). The files correspond to: i) Channel and connection design images. ii) Parametric study on capillary rise and surface coverage of SS healing agent in...

This is a cross-disciplinary work at the physics/life science interface which addresses an important question in the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugated to fluorescent molecules for cell biology, namely whether the fluorophore is a faithful reporter of the nanoparticle location. AuNPs are among the most widely investigated systems in nano-medicine research for applications in intracellular imaging and sensing, drug delivery and photothermal therapy, owing to their small sizes, biocompatibility, ease of surface functionalisation and...

We synthesised cyanine dye derivatives and investigate their capability for mitochondrial targeting and organelle-specific delivery of different cargoes.

Single site catalysts can present high activity and selectivity in many catalytic reactions. The synthesis of these materials by impregnation from strongly oxidising aqueous solutions or pH-controlled deposition often leads to low metal loadings or a range of metal species. We have prepared single site catalyts by a simple impregnation of the metal precursors onto activated carbon from a low boiling point, low polarity solvent, such as acetone, results in catalysts with an atomic dispersion...

Polymorphism in a multicomponent crystal system of trimesic acid (TMA) and t-butylamine (TBA) with stoichiometry (TMA)2(TBA)3 is reported, with the discovery and structural characterization of two polymorphs with rhombohedral and triclinic symmetries. In each polymorph, the TBA molecules exist as protonated cations, and the two independent TMA molecules are deprotonated by loss of a total of three protons (the specific protonation state of each TMA anion depends on the interpretation of hydrogen-bond disorder in the...

A base-mediated a-C-alkylation of ketones with secondary alcohols has been developed. This transition metal free approach employs KOt-Bu as the base and exhibits a broad scope, allowing a range of commodity aliphatic secondary alcohols and 1-arylethanols to be employed as alkylating agents. Aryl methyl ketones undergo selective mono-a-C-alkylation in high isolated yields (23 examples, 65% average yield). Analysis of reaction products from this methodology resulted in the following data: 1H, 19F and 13C NMR raw...
