Abstract Computational studies revealed that dirhodium tetrakis(1,2,2‐triarylcyclopropanecarboxylate) (Rh2(TPCP)4) catalysts adopt distinctive high symmetry orientations, which are dependent on the nature of the aryl substitution pattern. The parent catalyst, Rh2(TPCP)4, and those with ap‐substituent at the C1 aryl, such as Rh2(p‐BrTPCP)4and Rh2(p‐PhTPCP)4, adopt aC2‐symmetric structure. Rh2(3,5‐di(p‐tBuC6H4)TPCP)4, 3,5‐disubstituted at the C1 aryl, adopts aD2‐symmetric structure, whereas catalysts with ano‐substituent at the C1 aryl, such as Rh2(o‐Cl‐5‐BrTPCP)4,adopt aC4‐symmetric structure.

Reactivity variance between stereoisomers of saturated N-heterocyclic carbenes on gold surfaces
Two stereoisomers, one C2 symmetric and one Cs symmetric, of saturated N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were placed on gold films and they demonstrate different reactivity.

Abstract A novelC3symmetric 1,1’‐bi‐2‐naphthol‐based Schiff base (R,R,R)‐6has been synthesized which shows highly selective fluorescence enhancement with Zn2+among 21 metal cations examined. Its sensitivity and selectivity are found to be greater than other relatedC2(1) andC1[(R)‐9] symmetric compounds in the fluorescent recognition of Zn2+. The mechanistic study reveals that the selective fluorescence enhancement of the probe can be attributed to the formation of a unimolecular multidentate 6‐coordinated Zn2+complex.more » « less

Abstract We use elastic and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) to study the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase transitions and spin excitations in the two-dimensional (2D) zig-zag antiferromagnet FePSe3. By determining the magnetic order parameter across the AF phase transition, we conclude that the AF phase transition in FePSe3is first-order in nature. In addition, our INS measurements reveal that the spin waves in the AF ordered state have a large easy-axis magnetic anisotropy gap, consistent with an Ising Hamiltonian, and possible biquadratic magnetic exchange interactions. On warming acrossTN, we find that dispersive spin excitations associated with three-fold rotational symmetric AF fluctuations change into FM spin fluctuations aboveTN. These results suggest that the first-order AF phase transition in FePSe3may arise from the competition betweenC3symmetric AF andC1symmetric FM spin fluctuations aroundTN, in place of a conventional second-order AF phase transition.more » « less

Abstract Whether tetra‐tert‐butyl‐s‐indacene is a symmetricD2hstructure or a bond‐alternatingC2hstructure remains a standing puzzle. Close agreement between experimental and computed proton chemical shifts based on minima structures optimized at the M06‐2X, ωB97X‐D, and M11 levels confirm a bond‐localizedC2hsymmetry, which is consistent with the expected strong antiaromaticity of TtB‐s‐indacene.more » « less

We consider random permutations which are spherically symmetric with respect to a metric on the symmetric groupSnand are consistent asnvaries. The extreme infinitely spherically symmetric permutation‐valued processes are identified for the Hamming, Kendall‐tau and Cayley metrics. The proofs in all three cases are based on a unified approach through stochastic monotonicity.more » « less
