Merging antimicrobial and visible emission properties within 1,3,4-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazolium salts

Connor A. Lejcher, Eric M. Villa, James T. Fletcher

Summary: This study presents 1,3,4-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazolium salts exhibiting antimicrobial properties as well as visible emission characteristics. By incorporating various aryl units at the N1 position, visible emission properties were imparted to the salts with significant Stokes shifts. The hydrophobic aryl units showed impact on the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against bacteria and yeast, which could be adjusted by substituent variation to maintain bioactivity.

Divergent stereochemical outcomes in the insertion of donor/donor carbenes into the C-H bonds of stereogenic centers

Sarah N. Dishman, Croix J. Laconsay, James C. Fettinger, Dean J. Tantillo, Jared T. Shaw

Summary: Intramolecular C-H insertions with donor/donor dirhodium carbenes provide a concise and highly stereoselective method to set two contiguous stereocenters in a single step. The study demonstrates that donor/donor carbenes undergo uniquely stereoselective reactions that originate from a stepwise reaction mechanism, in contrast to the analogous concerted reactions of carbenes with one or more electron-withdrawing groups attached.

Dirac lines and loop at the Fermi level in the time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductor LaNiGa2

Jackson R. Badger, Yundi Quan, Matthew C. Staab, Shuntaro Sumita, Antonio Rossi, Kasey P. Devlin, Kelly Neubauer, Daniel S. Shulman, James C. Fettinger, Peter Klavins, Susan M. Kauzlarich, Dai Aoki, Inna M. Vishik, Warren E. Pickett, Valentin Taufour

Summary: Unconventional superconductors have Cooper pairs with lower symmetries compared to conventional superconductors. This article demonstrates that the time-reversal symmetry breaking in the superconductor LaNiGa2 is enabled by its previously unknown topological electronic band structure. These unique topological features allow LaNiGa2 to break time-reversal symmetry in the absence of other typical ingredients, providing a pathway for identifying a new type of unconventional superconductors based on nonsymmorphic symmetries.

Tuning the Intermediate Valence Behavior in the Zintl Compound Yb14ZnSb11 by Incorporation of RE3+[Yb14-XREXZnSb11 (0.2=X=0.7), RE = Sc, Y, La, Lu and Gd]

Rongqing Shang, Allan He, Elizabeth L. Kunz Wille, Na Hyun Jo, James C. Fettinger, Paul C. Canfield, Susan M. Kauzlarich

Summary: The solid solutions of Yb14ZnSb11 with different RE3+ elements were prepared to investigate the intermediate valency of Yb in Yb14ZnSb11. The substitution of Yb with RE3+ elements can impact the valency of Yb ions. Large crystals were grown using Sn-flux, the structure and magnetic susceptibility were studied. The results showed that all compounds crystallize in the Ca14AlSb11 structure type and the RE3+ ions exhibit a size-dependent preference for substitution at the Yb site.

Mn(II), Fe(II), and Co(II) Aryloxides: Steric and Dispersion Effects and the Thermal Rearrangement of a Cobalt Aryloxide to a Co(II) Semiquinone Complex

Connor P. McLoughlin, James C. Fettinger, Philip P. Power

Summary: Six new transition-metal aryloxides were synthesized and characterized to compare the steric and dispersive characteristics of their substituents. The results show that the -C6H2-2,4,6-Cy-3 substituent has higher dispersive energy donor properties and influences the thermal stability. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit high thermal stability and short-contact H···H interactions, while complexes 5 and 6 have a lower association number due to the lower dispersion energy donor properties of the -OC6H3-2,6-Pr-i (2) ligand.

Group 13 ion coordination to pyridyl models NAD+ reduction potentials

Leo W. T. Parsons, James C. C. Fettinger, Louise A. A. Berben

Summary: This study explores N-alkylation and N-metallation of pyridine to understand how metal-ligand complexes can mimic NAD(+) redox chemistry. The syntheses of substituted dipyrazolylpyridine (pz(2)P) compounds (pz(2)P)Me+ (1(+)) and (pz(2)P)GaCl2+ (2(+)) are reported and compared with previous transition element pz(2)P complexes. Cyclic voltammetry measurements show that cationic 1(+) and 2(+) exhibit irreversible reduction events at an anodic potential of SIM;900 mV, unlike the neutral pz(2)P complexes of divalent metals.

Catalytic generation of ortho-quinone dimethides via donor/donor rhodium carbenes

Mingchun Gao, Jose M. Ruiz, Emily Jimenez, Anna Lo, Croix J. Laconsay, James C. Fettinger, Dean J. Tantillo, Jared T. Shaw

Summary: Substrates designed for 1,4-C-H insertion to produce benzocyclobutenes underwent a unique elimination reaction, resulting in the formation of ortho-quinone dimethide (o-QDM) intermediates that further participated in Diels-Alder or hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadditions. The analogous benzylic acetals or ethers, on the other hand, bypassed the C-H insertion pathway and, after hydride transfer, underwent a de-aromatizing elimination reaction to form o-QDM at ambient temperature. The resulting dienes exhibited high diastereo- and regio-selectivity when involved in various cycloaddition reactions. This method represents a rare example of catalytic o-QDM generation without the involvement of a benzocyclobutene, and it offers a mild and ambient temperature approach to access these valuable intermediates. DFT calculations provided support for the proposed mechanism. Furthermore, this methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of (+/-)-isolariciresinol with an overall yield of 41%.

Unlocking the catalytic potential of gold(II) complexes: a comprehensive reassessment

Juan Carlos Perez-Sanchez, Raquel P. Herrera, M. Concepcion Gimeno

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Aryl selenonium vs. aryl sulfonium counterions in polyoxometalate chemistry: the impact of Se+ cationic centers on the photocatalytic reduction of dichromate

Mahender Singh, Aakash Yadav, Ranjit Singh, Chullikkattil P. Pradeep

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
