Sodium formate (SF) has been used for a long time as a technological additive for H2 release from the dehydrogenation of formic acid . Formic acid is often synthesized from...
Triangular all‐metal complexes have aroused our research interest due to their unique structural and properties. Herein, through the facile reduction of μ3‐oxo complex [μ3‐O(PPh3Au)3]+BF4− (1), we synthesized and isolated the triphenylphosphine stabilized triangular tri‐gold complex [(PPh3Au)3]+BF4− (2) for the first time (yield=90 %). Both complexes showed interesting photochemical sensitivity to temperatures and solvents. The cyclic voltammetry of these complexes showed one single oxidation process in CH3CN. These tri‐gold complexes (2 mol % based on the complex itself) were further applied in the catalytic hydroaminations for substituted phenylacetylenes with anilines and gave the corresponding imine products with great catalytic reactivity and regioselectivity without aiding any promoters or additives. When the loading of the tri‐gold complexes was decreased to 1.0 mol%, 95 % and 97 % of conversions were obtained using 1 and 2, respectively. When further decreased the catalyst loading to 0.5 mol% in preparative scale, 83 % and 80 % of isolated yields were achieved, respectively. This method presented great significance for the syntheses of a series of imine‐containing pharmaceutical intermediates even in preparative scale. Moreover, the investigations of catalytic mechanisms of this reaction indicated that these tri‐gold complexes played important roles as efficient pre‐catalysts in hydroaminations.
An efficient and stable CdS@MoS2 core@shell heterostructure was prepared by using a facile solvothermal approach. The MoS2@CdS heterostructure reveals efficient charge separation, giving rise to excellent performance on H2 generation...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
