Efficient homocoupling reactions of halide compounds catalyzed by manganese (II) chloride (p 15-18) Yu Yuan, Yubo Bian Published Online: Jan 2 2008 4:56AM
DOI: 10.1002/aoc.1340
| | | A new efficient homocoupling reaction was performed in one pot by a combination of metallic magnesium and a catalytic amount of manganese (II) chloride. Various aromatic and alkyl halides underwent the homocoupling smoothly, affording the corresponding symmetrical homocoupling compounds in moderate to good yields. | | |

Interaction of methyltin(IV) compounds with carboxylate ligands. Part 2: formation thermodynamic parameters, predictive relationships and sequestering ability (p 30-38) Concetta De Stefano, Antonio Gianguzza, Ottavia Giuffrè, Alberto Pettignano, Silvio Sammartano Published Online: Dec 18 2007 6:29AM
DOI: 10.1002/aoc.1346
| | | Thermodynamic data of mono-, di- and tri-methyltin(IV)-carboxylate complexes (acetate, malonate, succinate, oxydiacetate, diethylenetrioxydiacetate, malate, citrate, 1,2,3-tricarballylate, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexacarboxylate) in aqueous solution are reported at t = 25 °C and I = 0 mol l-1. Thermodynamic parameters obtained are analysed to formulate empirical predictive relationships as a function of the number of carboxylate groups of the ligand and the charge of the alkyltin(IV) cation. By using the thermodynamic stability parameters of complexes formed, the sequestering power of some ligands investigated towards alkyltin(IV) cations at different pH values is determined and discussed. | | |

Stille cross-coupling reaction using Pd/BaSO4 as catalyst reservoir (p 39-42) Aline Viana Coelho, Andréa Luzia F. de Souza, Paulo G. de Lima, James L. Wardell, O. A. C. Antunes Published Online: Dec 18 2007 6:29AM
DOI: 10.1002/aoc.1347
| | | Stille cross-coupling reactions between iodobenzene and tributylphenyltin were carried out in ethanol/water solution using different amounts of Pd/BaSO4 as catalyst reservoir in a ligand-free system and high yields were obtained. Other substituted biaryls were obtained with good yields. The catalyst can be reused up to three times with some loss in activity. Filtration of the catalyst and product extraction yielded a solution thatept its activity, showing the presence of Pd(0)/Pd(II) species that can be regarded as the true catalysts. Interestingly, both 2-bromotiophene and chlorobenzene yielded the desired corresponding reaction products. | | |

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new triorganotin(IV) complexes with the bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)acetate ligand: effects on trout erythrocyte components (p 43-48) Simone Alidori, Filippo Cocchioni, Giancarlo Falcioni, Donatella Fedeli, Gaia Emanuela Gioia Lobbia, Marilena Mancini, Maura Pellei, Carlo Santini Published Online: Dec 19 2007 6:17AM
DOI: 10.1002/aoc.1348
| | | Triorganotin(IV) derivatives have been synthesized from reaction between R3SnCl acceptors and the new sodium bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-ylthio)acetate ligand. The toxic effects shown by these compounds on trout erythrocyte components evidenced that their toxicity depends on the nature and on the lipophilicity of the substitutents on the metal centre. | | |

Dependence of CO oxidation on Pt nanoparticle shape: a shape-selective approach to the synthesis of PEMFC catalysts (p 49-54) Sachininge, Christian Urgeghe, Achille De Battisti, Helmut Bönnemann Published Online: Dec 18 2007 6:29AM
DOI: 10.1002/aoc.1349
| | | In real catalyst systems, it is difficult to establish a correlation between catalytic properties and the shape of the active catalytic particles. In this paper we present a clear shape dependence of the catalytic properties of a Vulcan-supported fuel cell catalyst having 4 nm cubo-octahedral platinum(0) nanocrystallites with (111) and (100) surfaces stablizied by sodium polyacrylate. The electrode materials were characterized by CO-stripping cyclic voltammetry and transmission electron microscopy. | | |
