Mechanism and Optimization of Ruthenium-Catalyzed Oxalamide Synthesis Using DFT The oxalamide skeleton is a common structural motif in many biologically active molecules. These scaffolds can be synthesized via ruthenium pincer complex-catalyzed acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of ethylene glycol and amines. In this study, we elucidate the mechanism of this oxalamide synthesis using Density Functional Theory calculations.

[Ag(IPr)(bpy)][PF6]: Brightness and Darkness Playing with Aggregation Induced Phosphorescence for Light-emitting Electrochemical Cells Heteroleptic silver(I) complexes have recently started to attract the attention in thin-film lighting technologies as an alternative to copper(I) analogous due to lack of flattening distortion upon excitation.

Recycling of brush polymer containing iridium photocatalyst supported on glass balls† The synthesis of a new glass-supported iridium photocatalyst is reported. The use of brush polymer to covalently link the iridium ancillary ligand (2,2-bipyridine derivative) to the glass, allows 0.5 wt% of iridium loading on 9–13 μm glass balls. Cross dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) was selected as a benchmark reaction of photoredox reaction.
