Synthesis of alkenes from tertiary esters utilizing the triphenylphosphine-iodine system

The treatment of tertiary esters with triphenylphosphine and iodine under mild conditions gives the most stable alkene in good yield. Formates, acetates and trifluoroacetates were studied.     

Chemical synthesis of p-type nanocrystalline copper selenide thin films for heterojunction solar cells

Nanocrystalline thin films of copper selenide have been grown on glass and tin doped-indium oxide substrates using chemical method. At ambient temperature, golden films have been synthesized and annealed at 200 °C for 1 h and were examined for their structural, surface morphological and optical properties by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometry techniques, respectively. Cu_2−xSe phase was confirmed by XRD pattern and spherical grains of 30 ± 4 - 40 ± 4 nm in size aggregated over about 130 ± 10 nm islands were seen by SEM images. Effect of annealing on crystallinity improvement, band edge shift and photoelectrochemical performance (under 80 mW/cm² light intensity and in lithium iodide electrolyte) has been studied and reported. Observed p-type electrical conductivity in copper selenide thin films make it a suitable candidate for heterojunction solar cells.     

Crystal and molecular structure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">tris</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-chlorophenyl)phosphine selenide

The crystal and molecular structure of tris(m-chlorophenyl)phosphine selenide, C₁₈H₁₂Cl₃PSe (I), was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The trigonal rhombohedral structure of I (space group \(R\overline 3 c\), a = 14.110(2) Å, c = 32.360(4) Å, Z = 12) was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares in an anisotropic approximation (R = 0.029) for 1319 averaged measured reflections (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λCuK_α).

Hydroselenation of alkynes using NaBH4/BMIMBF4: easy access to vinyl selenides

A general and easy method for the synthesis of several vinyl selenides using NaBH₄ and BMIMBF₄ as a recyclable solvent is described. This efficient and improved method furnishes the corresponding vinyl chalcogenides preferentially with Z configuration. We also observed that when the same protocol was applied to phenyl acetylene, (E)-bis-phenylseleno styrene was obtained in good yield and with high selectivity.     

Polystyrene-supported Benzyl Selenide: An Efficient Reagent for Highly Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Substituted Olefins

Solid-phase methodology has been rapidly and extensively applied to the preparation of small organic molecules recently1. It might be argued that selenoxide syn-elimination provided the principal impetus for the development of organoselenium chemistry. In addition, the required selenoxides are readily available from the oxidation of the corresponding selenides, which in turn can be prepared by the reaction of selenium-stabilized carbanions with various electrophilic substrates2. However, or…     

Darstellung und Kristallstruktur des ersten polymeren Phosphorselenids catena-(P4Se4)x

Preparation and Crystal Structure of the First Polymeric Phosphorus Selenide catena-(P₄Se₄)_x Catena-(P₄Se₄)_x was prepared in crystalline form from the elements using iodine as a catalyst, and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Single-crystal investigations (space group P2₁/c, a = 1 119.2(3), b = 728.2(2), c = 1 142.5(3) pm, β = 115.91(2)°, V = 837.5(7) · 10⁶ pm³) revealed parallel chains of P₄Se₃ hetero-norbornane units linked via Se atoms. Thus, being the first phosphorus selenide which does not contain discrete molecules, catena-(P₄Se₄)_x can be regarded as a polymeric form of α-P₄Se₄ or as a crystalline modification of vitrous phosphorus selenide.     

Geometrical characteristics of four-coordinate complexes of Ni,Pd, and Pt containing triphenylphosphine as ligand

A statistical analysis based on crystal structure results of 4-coordinated complexes of Ni, Pd, and Pt containing triphenylphosphine as ligand has been performed using the Cambridge Structural Data Base. Distorted square-planar coordination appears as the most probable one presented by these metals.

Geometrische Charakteristika von vier-koordinierten Komplexen des Ni, Pd und Pt mit Triphenylphosphin als Ligand

Zusammenfassung Es wurde unter Verwendung der Cambridge Strukturdatenbank eine statistische Analyse von Resultaten an vier-koordinierten Komplexen des Ni, Pd und Pt mit Triphenylphosphin-Ligand durchgeführt. Dabei ergab sich eine verzerrte quadratisch-planare Koordination als die am meisten wahrscheinliche Geometrie.

     

Syntheses, Structures, and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Two Crown-like Heteroselenometallic Compounds [Et4N]4[(μ5-WSe4)(CuX)5(μ-X)2] (X = Cl, Br)

Two isostructural crown-like heteroselenometallic cluster compounds, [Et₄N]₄[(μ₅-WSe₄)(CuX)₅(μ-X)₂] (X = Cl 1, Br 2), were prepared from the reactions of [Et₄N]₂[WSe₄] with CuX and [Et₄N]X· xH₂O in the presence of 2-picoline and characterized by single-crystal diffraction analysis. The [(μ₅-WSe₄)(Cu-X)₅(μ-X)₂]⁴⁻ anions in the cluster compounds consists of five CuX fragments coordinated to the five edges of the tetrahedral [WSe₄]²⁻ moiety along with two bridging halides connected to each of the two pairs of the symmetric copper atoms, exhibiting a novel crown-like core structure. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of cluster compound 2 were determined to be α₂ = 6.15 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/W and n ₂ = 4.18 × 10⁻¹¹ esu, respectively.
