Thiol–nitrite interactions at systematically tuned zinc(II) sites illustrate that the availability of a hemilabile site for the Lewis-acidic activation of thiol governs the intramolecular proton-transfer, providing S-nitrosothiol via nitrous acid.
Population-weighted principal moments of inertia and exit vectors analyses of shapeshifting bullvalenes reveals the diversity in their 3D structures.
A set of five nonsymmetrical 1,2-bis(arylimino)acenaphthene–nickel complexes, incorporating 2,6-bis(bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxyaniline, was designed and prepared to tailor the catalytic attributes for ethylene polymerization.
2-Substituted pyrrolinium cations are reduced to air and moisture stable 2,2′-bipyrrolidines − the newly formed carbon–carbon single bond is electron-rich and may be utilized as an organic electron donor for various chemical transformations.
A tricyclononene and tricyclononadiene monomer library is studied experimentally and computationally to deepen understanding of structure propagation rate relationships in ROMP. A novel poly(tricyclononadiene) post-ROMP functionalization is explored.
