Superelectrophilic metal cations

Last but not least, the versatility of zeolites is demonstrated by exchanging the acidic proton with deuteron which enables investigation of interesting mechanisms related to catalysis and by exchanging the proton with transition metal cations, such as Cu(I), and opens new areas of enviromnentaUy friendly organic chemistry. For these reasons, we are including in this chapter acidic-zeolite catalysed reactions from our own work which can be best understood as examples of confinement effects superelectrophilic, Cu(I) catalysed Click chemistry, and specific H/D exchange reactions. 

Metal carbonyls see Carbonyl Complexes of the Transition Metals) are extended to superelectrophilic cations, including square-planar [Pt(CO)4] + by reductive carbonylation of Pt(S03F)4 or PtFe in super acid environment (Scheme 12). Using a comparable approach, [Pt(CO)3] + in...
