Abstract A series of new Pd–PEPPSI complexes containing imidazolylidene ligands with a mixed 9-alkyl-9- fluorenyl/aryl N,N'-substitution pattern have been synthesised. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were carried out for four complexes, which revealed that the N-heterocyclic carbene…
Abstract Three new cis‐diquinoxaline spanned cavitands were successfully synthesized. These cis‐diphosphinated derivatives were applied in homogeneous gold‐catalyzed dimerization and hydration of alkynes as well as rhodium‐catalyzed styrene hydroformylation. The results were ranked with those…
Abstract A unique, covalently constructed capsular catalyst obtained by reaction of [Ni(η5‐C5H5)(1,5‐cyclooctadiene)] BF4 with the double‐calixarene‐derived diphosphine 1,3‐bis(5‐diphenylphosphino‐25,26,27,28‐tetrapropoxycalix[4]aren‐17‐yl)benzene (1) has been shown to polymerise butadiene at a…
