Oxidation of a P-C Bond under Mild Conditions by Ilić, Gordana, Gaguly, Rakesh, Petković, Milena, Vidović, Dragoslav

“…The reactivity of phosphenium dication [(Ph3P)2C-P-NiPr2]2+, 12+, towards pyridine N-oxide (O-py) has been investigated. The resulting oxophosphonium dication [(Ph3P)2C(NiPr2)P(O)(O-py)]2+, 22+, was surprisingly stabilized by a less nucleophilic O-py ligand instead of pyridine (py). …”

Cobalt-Catalyzed, Imine-Directed Olefin Hydroarylation under Grignard-Free Conditions by Xu, Wengang, Pek, Jie Hui, Yoshikai, Naohiko

“…With the appropriate choice of the ligand and other reaction conditions, ketimine- or aldimine-directed branched selective hydroarylations of styrenes and ketimine-directed hydroarylations of vinylsilane have been achieved. The reported catalytic systems may serve as more convenient alternatives to previously developed catalytic systems employing Grignard reagents as reducing agents.…”

A critical review of experimental results on low temperature charge transport in carbon nanotubes based composites by Bhatia, Ravi, Kumari, Kiran, Rani, Reena, Suri, Anil, Pahuja, Ushma, Singh, Devinder

“…In this review article, we summarize interesting experimental results on low temperature charge transport properties of composites based on multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) that have been reported in the past decade. In particular, we critically review different conduction mechanisms that have been identified through detailed investigations of charge transport characteristics as functions of MWCNT loading in the composites, temperature, and magnetic field.…”
