High-yield synthesis of gold(I) thionato complexes, bis(pyridine-2-thionato)gold(I) chloride (1) and bis(pyridine-4-thionato)gold(I) chloride (2), are described. According to their solid-state structu
The reactions of [Cp*TiMe{(OCH2)2py}] (1) and [Cp*TiMe{(OOC)2py}] (2) with triflic acid (HOTf) in the presence of a series of Lewis bases, such as water, pyridine, and tert-butylpyridine, give rise to
The reductions of (Nacnac)Ti(III) complexes (Nacnac = (HC(CMeNC6H3(i-Pr)2)2) are examined. Treatment of (Nacnac)TiCl2 with K/Na alloy in the presence of CH2(PPh2)2 afforded the dark red product [K(C(M
The reaction between (C5Me5)2Y(μ–Ph)2BPh2 and NaC≡CH was explored to examine the reactivity of an intermediate like “(C5Me5)2Y(C≡CH).” One of the products identified from the reaction mixture is a bim
