Synthesis, Photophysical, Electrochemical, and Non-linear Optical Properties of Triaryl Pyrazole-based B-N Coordinated Boron Compounds.

We report here a set of triaryl pyrazole based B-N coordinated boron compounds (11-17) synthesized by electrophilic aromatic borylation strategy. All the pyrazole boron compounds were thoroughly characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, LC-MS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (for 12-17). The photoluminescence measurements of 11-17 revealed that the emission peak maxima were tuned based on the substitution on N-phenyl.

Synthesis and characterization of N-heterocyclic carbene-MOEt complexes (M = Cu, Ag, Au). Analysis of solvated auxiliary-ligand free [(NHC)M] species.

We report the synthesis, characterization and computational analysis of coinage metal-ether complexes supported by N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC), SIPr and Et2CAAC. The related water adducts are also included. The [(NHC)M]+(M = Cu, Ag, Au) species show the noteworthy ability to bind Et2O and H2O.

Synthesis and characterization of heterometallic complexes involving coinage metals and isoelectronic Fe(CO), [Mn(CO)] and [Fe(CO)CN] ligands.

The chemistry of coinage metal ions with Fe(CO), [Mn(CO)] and [Fe(CO)CN] has been explored using MesP and N-heterocyclic carbene supporting ligands. A comparison of [(SIPr)Au-Fe(CO)][SbF], [(CAAC)Au-Fe(CO)][SbF] and [(MesP)Au-Fe(CO)][SbF] shows that the ligand donor strength towards Au(i) follows the order MesP > CAAC > SIPr. These Fe(CO) complexes show significant blue shifts in [small nu, Greek, macron] bands relative to those observed for free Fe(CO) as a result of it serving as a net electron donor to Au(i).
