Pendant base

Cp2Zr(H)(Cl) (8). The apparent record for catalyzed double bond movement is on 9-decene-l-ol to decanal (nine positions) using Fe3(CO)i2 (9). However, 30 mol % was required, which means that nearly a mole of metal was used per mole of alkenol. Herein we expand upon our initial report (10) of a very active catalyst (1) which has been shown to move a double bond over 30 positions. Catalyst 1 appears to have an intriguing and useful mode of action, in which the pendant base ligand performs proton transfer on coordinated alkene and Ti-allyl intermediates in a stereoselective fashion. 

Sketch several ideas for a pendant based on having several separate pieces of wire joined together, allowing for movement of the parts. Try to incorporate round pieces of wire as well as flattened and twisted variations. Incorporate beads for accent. 

Template polymerization as seen in replicative biopolymer synthesis has recently received attention. From this point of view, vinyl polymerization has been studied in the presence of polymers that were expected to serve as templates. These template polymerizations, however, do not appear to be strictly selective because interactions between the monomeric or polymeric spedes and the template polymers may not readily be realized. It seems, however, to be one of the most attractive problems if template polymerization can be followed by suitable monomer-polymer pair formation with complementary nucleic acid bases. This section deals with the free-radical polymerization of methyacryloyloxy type monomers with pendant bases in the presence of template polymers with complementary bases41,42). 

Cyclic voltammetry studies reveal striking differences between complex 13 and the analogous complex [HFe(depp)(dmpm)(CH3CN)f (17) in which the NMe group of 13 has been replaced by a methylene group. At normal scan rates the Fe " couple is reversible for complex 17, but irreversible for 13. Scan rate dependence measurements and potential step experiments indicated that this difference in behavior arises from a rapid transfer of the proton of the Fe hydride to the N atom of the pendant base with a rate constant of 1.1 x 10 s at room temperature. This proton transfer results in an irreversible Fe " " couple at low scan rates. A similar process cannot occur for 17, and the Fe " " couple remains reversible, even at slow scan rates in the presence of an external base. These results indicate that pendant bases in the second coordination sphere can facilitate the coupling of electron and proton transfer reactions. 

The role of pendant bases in catalytic H2 production is not unique to the nickel complexes described in the preceding paragraphs. Recent studies of cobalt complexes have shown that complexes with a single cyclic diphosphine Hgand... 

The imidazohmn carbocation must be optimally positioned to extract a hydride from Ha, boimd to and activated by Fe° in [Fe]-Haase similarly, the other hydrogenases are well set up for cooperative interactions and the formation of iron hydrides. Positioned over the open site for the [FeFe]-Haase is the pendant nitrogen base built into the bridging dithiolate colactor. This pendant base is attractively available for rapid intramolecular shuttling of a proton into... 

The main-chain type pyridine containing SMPU has so far not been fully investigated. In future studies, the pyridine ring will be attached to the polymer backbone as a pendant. Based on the hydrogen-bonded supramolecular stmcture, the BIN-SMPUs will have maity unique advantages due to their shape memory, mechanical and damping properties. 

Hydrogen is considered a useful potential fuel for a future hydrogen economy but difficult problems of H2 production and storage need to be solved. Classical electrochemical H2 production from water requires Pt electrodes, so efforts have been made to replace these with cheap metal catalysts. A number of very active Ni catalysts, such as 12.18, have been reported that on electroreduction can undergo protonation to give a nickel hydride 12.18 also incorporates pendant bases that in the protonated form can deliver to a metal-bound hydride to generate H2. ...
