The heterogeneous solid-gas reactions of crystals of [Rh(L)(propene)][BAr] (, L = BuPCHCHPBu) with H and propene, 1-butene, propyne, or 1-butyne are explored by gas-phase nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy under batch conditions at 25 °C. The temporal evolution of the resulting parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) effects measures catalytic flux and thus interrogates the efficiency of catalytic pairwise -H transfer, speciation changes in the crystalline catalyst at the molecular level, and allows for high-quality single-scan H, C NMR gas-phase spectra for the products to be obtained, as well as 2D-measurements. Complex reacts with H to form dimeric [Rh(L)(H)(μ-H)][BAr] (), as probed using EXAFS; meanwhile, a single-crystal of equilibrates NMR silent -H with its NMR active ortho isomer, contemporaneously converting into , and and each convert -H into -H at different rates.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the reactivity of the Ir(I) PONOP pincer complex in both solution and solid state using various experimental and computational methods, highlighting the complex's synthesis and transformation processes.
  • The research reveals that, in solution, the pincer complex reacts quickly with hydrogen to form intermediate dihydride complexes, with a significant energy barrier for further reactions involving propene insertion.
  • In solid state, the reaction shows different behavior, as it leads to structural changes without ongoing reactions due to higher barriers, indicating that the surrounding environment influences the complex's reactivity significantly.

Although HIV infection inhibits interferon responses in its target cells in vitro, interferon signatures can be detected in vivo soon after sexual transmission, mainly attributed to plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). In this study, we examined the physiological contributions of pDCs to early HIV acquisition using coculture models of pDCs with myeloid DCs, macrophages and the resting central, transitional and effector memory CD4 T cell subsets. pDCs impacted infection in a cell-specific manner.

Rhodium-alkene complexes of the pincer ligand κ-CHN-2,6-(OPPr) (PONOP-Pr) have been prepared and structurally characterized: [Rh(PONOP-Pr)(η-alkene)][BAr] [alkene = cyclooctadiene (COD), norbornadiene (NBD), ethene; Ar = 3,5-(CF)CH]. Only one of these, alkene = COD, undergoes a reaction with H (1 bar), to form [Rh(PONOP-Pr)(η-COE)][BAr] (COE = cyclooctene), while the others show no significant reactivity. This COE complex does not undergo further hydrogenation.
