Phosphine oxidation by MesCNO is rapid; however, an FLP strategy intercepts the 1,3 addition products including [MesC(R3P)NOB(C6F5)3] (R = Ph 1, p-tol 2), [MesC(Mes2PH)NOB(C6F5)3] 3 (MesC(NOB(C6F5)3)Ph2P)2(CH2)n (n = 2: 4, 3: 5) and [MesC(Ph3P)NOB(C6F4H)3] 6. These species are shown to react with tBuOK or [Bu4N]F permitting the oxidation to proceed via a process involving borane dissociation. Similarly, the equilibrium established by 1 with B(C6F4H)3 and 6 with B(C6F5)3 provides experimental support for the "Cummins mechanism" for these phosphine oxidations.

Functional pincer ligands that engage in metal-ligand cooperativity and/or are capable of redox non-innocence have found a great deal of success in catalysis. These two properties may be found in metal complexes of the 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (bpp) ligands. With this goal in mind, we have attempted the coordination of 2,6-bis(5-trifluoromethylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (LCF3) and its Bu analogue 2,6-bis(5--butylpyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (LtBu) to Mo(0) by reactions with mixed phosphine/carbonyl complexes [Mo(CO)(MeCN)(PMePh)] 1-3 (1 ≤ ≤ 3).

We synthesized a series of polychlorinated trityl radical substituted phenylphosphines. Through UV-vis photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry, we explored the influence of the chemical modifications (oxidation/reduction, coordination, and methylation) of the phosphorus center(s) on tuning the optical and redox properties of the tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical framework. Those compounds hold promise for applications in coordination chemistry and luminescent materials, particularly in systems where both radical and phosphine-based functionalities can be leveraged for innovative properties.

Interfacing metal frameworks with carbon-based materials is attractive for the bottom-up construction of nanocomposite functional materials. The stepwise layering of difunctionalized diamantanes and gold metal from physical and chemical vapor deposition for the preparation of nanocomposites inverts the conventional preparation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and self-assemblies, where the metal is introduced first, and this method delivers metal surfaces with modified properties originating from the sp-carbon core. However, appropriate diamondoid candidates for such an approach are rare.

Recent advances in redox flow batteries have made them a viable option for grid-scale energy storage, however they exhibit low energy density. One way to boost energy density is by increasing the cell potential using a nonaqueous system. Molecular engineering has proven to be an effective strategy to develop redox-active compounds with extreme potentials but these are usually challenged by resource sustainability of the newly developed redox materials.

The synthesis of phosphorous indenoquinolines and their biological evaluation as topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitors and antiproliferative agents were performed. First, the preparation of new hybrid 5-indeno[2,1-]quinolines with a phosphine oxide group was performed by a two-step Povarov-type [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction between the corresponding phosphorated aldimines with indene in the presence of BF·EtO. Subsequent oxidation of the methylene present in the structure resulted in the corresponding indeno[2,1-]quinolin-7-one phosphine oxides .
