Zirconium-Mediated Synthesis of Arsaalkene Compounds from Arsines and Isocyanides

N-Heterocyclic carbene-stabilised arsinidene (AsH)

N-Heterocyclic carbene adducts of the parent arsinidene (AsH) were prepared by two different synthetic routes, either by reaction of As(SiMe₃)₃ with 2,2-difluoroimidazolines followed by desilylation or by reaction of [Na(dioxane)_3.31][AsCO] with imidazolium chlorides.

Triamidoamine-supported zirconium: hydrogen activation, Lewis acidity, and rac-lactide polymerization

Investigation of a triamidoamine-supported zirconium hydride intermediate, important to a range of catalytic reactions, revealed the potential Lewis acidity of [κ⁵-N,N,N,N,C-(Me₃SiNCH₂CH₂)₂NCH₂CH₂NSiMe₂CH₂]Zr (1).

Insertion of tBuNC into thorium–phosphorus and thorium–arsenic bonds: phosphaazaallene and arsaazaallene moieties in f element chemistry

The reactivity of thorium–phosphido and thorium–arsenido bonds was probed using tert-butyl isocyanide, ^tBuNC.

Isocyanide-based multicomponent reactions in the synthesis of heterocycles

In this review, we update our previous presentation, underscoring the recent applications of isocyanides as privileged synthons in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, especially focused on those synthesizedviamulticomponent reactions.

Metal carbonyl complexes of phosphaamidines. Coordinative integrity detected in C-amino(λ3,σ2)-phosphaalkene isomers coordinated through n(P) HOMO−1 donor orbitals

L(Cr,Mo,W)(CO)₅coordination ofN,P-disubstituted phosphaamidines stabilizes molecules prone to isomerization. NMR spectra are consistent with the average mirror symmetry.
