The coplanar cluster compound [Et4N]4[(mu4-WSe4)Cu4I6] (1) was prepared from reaction of [Et4N]2[WSe4] with 4 equiv of CuI in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution in the presence of [Et(4)N]I. Treatment of 1 with pyridine (py) in dry MeCN gave the neutral cluster [(mu4-WSe4)Cu4(py)6I2] (2) in good yield. Recrystallization of 1 from py/i-PrOH resulted in the reorganization of the coplanar WSe4Cu4 core and the formation of a neutral polymeric cluster [(mu3-WOSe3)Cu3(py)3(mu-I)]n (3) containing a nest-shaped OWSe3Cu3 core and a terminal W=O bond. The interaction of cluster 1 with excess PPh3 in CH3Cl3 gave [(mu3-WSe4)Cu3(PPh3)3(mu3-I)] (4) which has a cubanelike SeWSe3Cu3I core. Treatment of 1 with 1 equiv of CuI in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) yielded [Et4N]4[(mu5-WSe4)(CuI)5(mu-I)2] (5) which has a crown-like core structure. Treatment of 1 in DMF with 2 equiv of CuI in the presence of py resulted in the formation of a two-dimensional polymeric cluster, [(mu6-WSe4)Cu6I4(py)4]n (6), consisting of an octahedral WSe4Cu6 repeating unit. The solid-state structures of clusters 3, 5, and 6 have been further established by X-ray crystallography. The nonlinear optical properties of 6 have been also investigated. Cluster 6 was found to exhibit good photostability and a large optical limiting effect with the limiting threshold being ca. 0.3 J cm(-2).

To date, a general approach for the direct α-acyloxylation of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyls remains challenging. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed α-acyloxylation of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl-derived hypervalent iodine compounds with highly abundant carboxylic acids. Our approach utilizes a commercially available Pd(OAc) catalyst, which exhibits mild reaction conditions, scalability, operational simplicity, and robustness against moisture and air.

The thorium bipyridyl metallocene (Cp)Th(bipy) (; Cp = η-1,2,4-(MeC)CH) shows a rich reactivity toward a series of small molecules. For example, complex may act as a synthon for the (Cp)Th(II) fragment as illustrated by its reactivity toward to CuI, hydrazine derivative (PhNH), Ph ( = S, Se), elemental sulfur (S) and selenium (Se), organic azides, CS, and isothiocyanates. Moreover, in the presence of polar multiple bonds, such as those in ketones PhCO and (CH)CO, aldehydes -MePhCHO and -ClPhCHO, seleno-ketone (-MeOPh)CSe, nitriles PhCN, PhCHCN, CHCN, and -(NC)Ph, and benzoyl cyanide PhCOCN, C-C coupling occurs to furnish (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)((CH)CO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(-MePhCHO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(-ClPhCHO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy){(-MeOPh)CSe}] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCN)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCHCN)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(CHCN)] (), [(Cp)Th]{μ-(bipy)[-Ph(CN)](bipy)} (), and (Cp)Th{(bipy)[PhC(CN)O]} (), respectively.

An eco-friendly selective hydrolysis of chain α-oxo ketene ,-acetals in water for the switchable synthesis of β-keto thioesters and β-keto amides is reported. In refluxing water, the hydrolysis reactions of α-oxo ketene ,-acetals in the presence of 1.0 equiv of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid effectively afforded β-keto thioesters in excellent yield, while β-keto amides were successfully obtained in excellent yield when the hydrolysis reactions were carried out in the presence of 3.

The Ir(I) complex [Ir(μ-Cl)(coe)] (coe = cyclooctene) is a catalyst precursor for benzene alkenylation using Cu(II) carboxylate salts. Using [Ir(μ-Cl)(coe)], propenylbenzenes are formed from the reaction of benzene, propylene, and CuX (X = acetate, pivalate, or 2-ethylhexanoate). The Ir-catalyzed reactions selectively produce anti-Markovnikov products, -β-methylstyrene, -β-methylstyrene, and allylbenzene, along with minor amounts of the Markovnikov product, α-methylstyrene.
