The synthetic potential of thiophenols as a protic nucleophilic trigger in the transition-metal-free and Grignard-reagent-free three-component coupling involving arynes is demonstrated. Employing aldehydes as the third component, the reaction allowed the mild and broad scope synthesis of 2-arylthio benzyl alcohol derivatives in good yields. Moreover, selenophenol could be used as the nucleophilic trigger, and activated ketones could be used as the third component in this reaction.

pH-Induced Changes in the SERS Spectrum of Thiophenol at Gold Electrodes during Cyclic Voltammetry.

Thiophenol is a model compound used in the study of self-assembly of arylthiols on gold surfaces. In particular, changes in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of these self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with a change of conditions have been ascribed to, for example, differences in orientation with respect to the surface, protonation state, and electrode potential. Here, we show that potential-induced changes in the SERS spectra of SAMs of thiophenol on electrochemically roughened gold surfaces can be due to local pH changes at the electrode.

Cooperative Metal-Ligand Hydroamination Catalysis Supported by C-H Activation in Cyclam Zr(IV) Complexes.

Complexes of the type (RCyclam)ZrCl (where R = CH═C(H)CH (All), CH═C(Me)CH (All), and PhCH (Bn)) react with suitable Grignard reagents to produce the corresponding alkyl derivatives (RCyclam)ZrR' (R' = Me, CHPh). Thermally induced double metalation of the pending arms of the cyclam ligand led to the formation of complexes ((CH═C(H)CH)Cyclam)Zr, 14, ((CH═C(Me)CH)Cyclam)Zr, 15, or ((CHCH)Cyclam)Zr, 16. These reactions proceed through C(sp)-H bond activation and R'H elimination and convert the original dianionic tetracoordinated cyclam-based ligands in tetraanionic hexacoordinated ligands that establish two new Zr-C bonds.

Electrocatalytic proton reduction by dimeric nickel complex of a sterically demanding pincer-type NS2 aminobis(thiophenolate) ligand.

Basic methanolysis of a sterically hindered aminobis(S-arylthiocarbamate) affords a novel aminobis(thiophenolate) pincer-type ligand NS22–; the in situ generated dianion reacts cleanly with Ni2+ and Zn2+ resulting in dimeric complexes with bridging thiophenolate ligands, as determined spectroscopically and by X-ray crystallography. The C2-symmetric [Ni(NS2)]2 dimer (1) has a square planar coordination geometry around the Ni2+ ions, while the [Zn(NS2)]2 analogue (2) is characterized by a distorted tetrahedral geometry around each independent Zn2+ ion. Addition of the neutral monodentate donor L = 2,6-xylylisocyanide to [Ni(NS2)]2 affords the monomeric complex [LNi(NS2)] (3), which is characterized in the solid state by a square planar geometry with the isocyanide donor trans to the tertiary amine of NS2.

InP nanowires from surfactant-free thermolysis of single molecule precursors.

Indium phosphide nanofibres were grown from a single-molecule precursor, [(PhCH(2))(2)InP(SiMe(3))(2)](2), using hot injection techniques by a solution-liquid-solid (SLS) process, under "surfactant-free" conditions and without the use of protic additives. The fibres are 85-95 nm in diameter and grow from In metal droplets of 100 nm diameter. The length of the nanofibres is a function of the precursor injection temperature (rather than the growth temperature) and can be varied from 6000 nm at 210 °C to 1000 nm at 310 °C.
