A CuIIcoordination polymer,catena-poly[[[aquacopper(II)]-bis(μ-4-aminobenzoato)-κ2N:O;κ2O:N] monohydrate], {[Cu(pABA)2(H2O)]·H2O}n(pABA =p-aminobenzoate, C7H4NO2−), was synthesized and characterized. It exhibits a one-dimensional chain structure extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular assembly through hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. While the twinned crystal shows a metrically orthorhombic lattice and an apparent space groupPbcm, the true symmetry is monoclinic (space groupP2/c), with disordered Cu atoms and mixed roles of water molecules (aqua ligand/crystallization water). The luminescence spectrum of the complex shows an emission at 345 nm,cf.349 nm forpABAH.

Synthesis and characterization of a ruthenium-containing copolymer for use as a photoredox catalyst
We present a [Ru(bpy)2(dmbpy)]2+- and pyrene-based photocatalytic PMMA that enables photoredox-energy transfer to achieve the C–H arylation of electron deficient aryl bromides.

Abstract The synthesis and characterization of (tBuPBP)Ni(OAc) (5) by insertion of carbon dioxide into the Ni−C bond of (tBuPBP)NiMe (1) is presented. An unexpected CO2cleavage process involving the formation of new B−O and Ni−CO bonds leads to the generation of a butterfly‐structured tetra‐nickel cluster (tBuPBOP)2Ni4(μ‐CO)2(6). Mechanistic investigation of this reaction indicates a reductive scission of CO2by O‐atom transfer to the boron atom via a cooperative nickel‐boron mechanism. The CO2activation reaction produces a three‐coordinate (tBuP2BO)Ni‐acyl intermediate (A) that leads to a (tBuP2BO)−NiIcomplex (B) via a likely radical pathway. The NiIspecies is trapped by treatment with the radical trap (2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxyl (TEMPO) to give (tBuP2BO)NiII(η2‐TEMPO) (7). Additionally,13C and1H NMR spectroscopy analysis using13C‐enriched CO2provides information about the species involved in the CO2activation process.more » « less
