A new example of a structurally characterized conjugated bis-guanidinate (CBG) supported zinc(I) dimer, , LZnZnL (3) (L = {(ArNH)(ArN)-CN-C(NAr)(NHAr)}; Ar = 2,6-Et-CH) with a Zn-Zn bond is reported. Moreover, homoleptic (3) and heteroleptic (Cp*ZnZnL, 2, (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethyl cyclopentadienide)) zinc(I) dimers are used as precatalysts in the dehydroborylation of a wide array of terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the active catalyst, CBG zinc acetylide (LZn-CC-Ph-4-Me), (5), is isolated which is confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. A series of stoichiometric experiments have been performed to propose a plausible reaction mechanism.

The development of a metallic copper-based catalyst system remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly stable, active, and reusable Cu0 catalyst for the carboboration of alkynes using carbon electrophiles and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as chemical feedstocks to afford di- and trisubstituted vinylboronate esters in a regio- and stereoselective manner with appreciable turnover number (TON) of up to 2535 under mild reaction conditions. This three-component coupling reaction works well with a variety of substituted electrophiles and alkynes with broad functional group tolerance.

There has been a long search for a simple preparation of new cyclic analogues of ionophore antibiotics. We report a simple and general synthesis of three new cyclic derivatives of polyether ionophore, monensin A (MON). The application of the Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and terminal alkynes to macrocyclization results in a concise, synthetic route to monensin lacton or lactam in only 4 steps.

In this work, coixalkyne A (), a natural polynuclear calcium complex with a novel cross-shaped molecular architecture, was isolated from L. along with the undescribed analogue coixalkyne B (). Their structures were identified by means of NMR spectroscopy, ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The reaction between 1,3-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolylmethyl)hexahydropyrimidine L and Mo(CO) in CHCN at 130 °C afforded a binuclear Mo(0) complex 1 containing a new macrocycle formed upon C-N bond cleavage in L in good yield. Conversely, a clean reaction takes place between L and [Mo(CO)(COD)] in THF at 60 °C to give a new metalloligand complex [Mo(CO)(κ-,-L)] 2 containing a spectator pyrazole arm in 83% yield. Their structures were determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and a plausible mechanism is proposed for the C-N bond cleavage leading to complex 1.

Metal-organic frameworks generated from oligomeric ligands with functionalized tethers.

Chem Sci

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, San Diego La Jolla California 92093 USA

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be prepared from oligomeric organic ligands to prepare materials referred to as oligoMOFs. Studies of oligoMOFs are relatively limited, with most existing reports focused on fundamental structure-property relationships. In this report, functional groups, such as terminal alkynes and pyridine groups, are installed on the tether between 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid (Hbdc) groups of the dimer ligands.
