Asymmetric Hydroformylation of Olefins Catalyzed by a Chiral Diphosphite-Rhodium Complex

A C2-symmetrical aryl diphosphite derived from chiral binaphthol was prepared and its rhodium complex was used as catalysts in the asymmetric hydroformylation of olefins.

The Inclusion Complex of Ferrocene with a Dithiolene Functionalized β-Cyclodextrin

A new cyclodextrin derivative with the anion side-arm, mono[6-deoxy-6-(2-sodium thio-1,2-dicyane ethylenylthio)]-cyclodextrin (6-mnt-CD), and its inclusion complex with ferrocene (6-mnt-CD/Fc), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Thermogravimetry analysis of the compound shows that the thermal stabilities of both the host and the guest in the inclusion complex have been greatly improved due to an additional interaction between the side-arm of the host and the guest. The interplay between the guest and the host with side-arm in the complex resulted in smaller positive potential shifts in CV compared to that in the inclusion complex CD/Fc.

Formation of an Inclusion Complex of a New Transition Metal Ligand in β-Cyclodextrin

The inclusion complex of a new transition metal ligand, 2,4,9-trithia-tricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane-7-carboxylic acid (2,4,9-trithia-adamantane-7-carboxylic acid, TPCOOH) in β-cyclodextrin was studied by ¹H NMR, 2D NOESY NMR spectroscopy, host-induced CD spectroscopy, and tandem mass spectrometry. ¹H NMR, MS–MS and NOESY data show that the TPCOOH guest forms a 1:1 inclusion complex with the host β-cyclodextrin. The NOESY experiments also show that TPCOOH is oriented in the complex with the thioketal end preferentially located at the larger opening of β-cyclodextrin. The orientation of the guest in the host molecule is also confirmed by the induced CD of the ligand, which shows a positive Cotton effect. An association constant of 660±20?M^?1 was determined by ¹H NMR titration for the complex at room temperature in D₂O.
