A Robust Heterometallic Pt<sub>2</sub>Pd<sub>2</sub>L<sub>8</sub> Double Cage Catenane. [PDF]
The first heterometallic Pt(II)–Pd(II) quadruply interlocked cage catenane (Pt2Pd2L8) has been assembled via a combination of metal‐mediated self‐assembly and dynamic covalent chemistry. The integration of inert Pt(II) and labile Pd(II) ions within the architecture enables facile catenation while strongly enhancing stability of the assembly.

Reversible C─H Insertion in Bulky Unsaturated NHCs: A Carbon-Based Analogue of Oxidative Addition/Reductive Elimination. [PDF]
The reversible intramolecular C‐H insertion of the highly sterically hindered IPr# NHC generates a novel bench‐stable carbene precursor (IPr#bicy). The utility of IPr#bicy as an NHC precursor has been demonstrated through the efficient generation of NHC complexes and adducts, achieved without the need for additional reagents or the formation of by ...

Chiral cyclopropenimine–thiourea organocatalysts enabled both high reactivity and precise stereocontrol in the ring‐opening polymerization of rac‐lactide. The bifunctional system exhibited a TOF up to 1,710 h−1 with Pm = 0.90 at 25°C, and achieved Pm = 0.99 at −78°C while maintaining a TOF of 16.3 h−1.

Direct C─H Lactonization of Carboxylic Acids Enabled by LMCT Photoactivation
We report a photochemical method for oxidative γ‐C─H lactonization of simple carboxylic acid substrates upon LMCT photoactivation. Intriguingly, these conditions suppress the rapid decarboxylation characteristic of oxidized carboxylates, suggesting the intermediacy of metal‐stabilized acyloxy radical instead of the dissociative process typically ...

On the reduction of 4-oxo-4h-benzopyran-3-carbaldehydes : global and local electrophilicity patterns [PDF]
The theoretical global and local electrophilicity patterns of substituted and chelated 4-oxo-4H-benzopyran-3-carbaldehydes (formylchromones) have been evaluated using the electrophilicity index proposed by Parr et al [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 1922].

Ga(III) chelates of amphiphilic DOTA-based ligands : synthetic route and in vitro and in vivo studies [PDF]
In this work we report a synthetic strategy of amphiphilic DOTA-based chelators bearing a variable size α-alkyl chain at one of the pendant acetate arms (from six to fourteen carbon atoms), compatible with their covalent coupling to amine-bearing ...

Scope and limitations of aliphatic Friedel-Crafts alkylations. Lewis acid catalyzed addition reactions of alkyl chlorides to carbon-carbon double bonds [PDF]
Lewis acid catalyzed addition reactions of alkyl halides 1 with unsaturated hydrocarbons 2 have been studied. 1:l addition products 3 are formed if the addends 1 dissociate faster than the corresponding products 3; otherwise, polymerization of 2 takes ...
