A blue photoluminescent [Zn(L)(CN)2] (L = 2,2′-dipyridylamine) material with a supramolecular one-dimensional chain structure

Three green luminescent cadmium complexes containing 8-aminoquinoline ligands: Syntheses, crystal structures, emission spectra and DFT calculations

“…Highly luminescent coordination compounds have recently attracted much attention [1][2][3][4][5] due to interest in applications such as biological imaging [6], photochemical catalysis [7], light-driven fuel production [8], highly efficient luminescent devices [9][10][11][12], and luminescent chemosensors [13][14][15]. Such chemosensors have the advantage of possessing high sensitivity and selectivity, as well as providing online and real-time analysis that has revolutionized the field of chemical analysis, particularly in critical care analysis of blood and serum samples [16][17][18].…”

Ruthenium and Iridium Dipyridylamine Catalysts for the Efficient Synthesis of γ-Valerolactone by Transfer Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid

“…In a general manner, N , N -chelating ligands such as bis-pyridines, bis-imines, or bis-oxazolines play a pivotal role in organometallic chemistry for the synthesis of compounds with luminescent or catalytic properties. Despite the structural diversity now easily accessible by catalytic amination reactions, dipyridylamine (dpa) has received little attention as ligand in homogeneous catalysis or luminescent materials . In 2010, we reported the aqueous phase transfer hydrogenation of ketones by ruthenium­(dpa) complexes demonstrating the potential of dpa ligands in such transformations .…”

Off-Cycle Processes in Pd-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling of Carboranes

“…Although Zn­(CN) 2 is insoluble in most organic solvents because of the bridging μ 2 coordination of CN – across zinc centers, forming Zn–CN–Zn-based coordination polymers in the solid state, Zn­(CN) 2 can be solubilized in alkaline and ammoniacal environments. − However, alkaline conditions may lead to undesirable OH-mCB formation or deboronation, as observed with the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions (vide supra). Alternatively, trialkylamines are suitable ligands for Zn­(CN) 2 because they do not inhibit Br-mCB cage-walking, do not readily participate in the cross-coupling reaction, and can partially solubilize Zn­(CN) 2 . , Initially we used NEt 3 as a base to activate the [XPhos-Pd-G3] precatalyst and solubilize Zn­(CN) 2 , which led to a modest yield (<30% by GC–MS) of CN-mCB isomers (Figure , entry 1).…”
