The conformational analysis of phosphine ligands in organometallic complexes: Part 1: Triphenylphosphine coordinated to an achiral metal centre 1 (1998)
Journal Article

The conformational analyses of PPh3 1 and the representative achiral metal complexes [Al(PPh3)(Me)3] 2, [Fe(PPh3)(CO)4] 7 and [Ir(PPh3)2(CO)3]+ 8 possessing tetrahedral and trigonal-bipyramidal geometries are reported, and comparisons between the cal...

Structure of organoruthenium-derived Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface: A molecular-modelling approach (1997)
Journal Article

A two-dimensional model for the structure of films fabricated from organoruthenium amphiphiles of the type [Ru(η5-C5H5)(PPh2R) 2(p-NCC6H4OR′)]PF6 (R = Ph,p-tolyl or p-biphenyl; R′ = Et or C16H33) at the air-water interface has been devised.

Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor (1994)
Journal Article

The chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(L)COCH3] [L = PPh3, P(p-tolyl)3] have been kinetically resolved via aldol reactions involving their derived lithium enolates and camphor in the presence of lithium chloride. With (1R)-(+)-camphor the... Read More about Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl complexes [Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(L)COCH3] [L= PPh 3, P(p-tolyl)3] via aldol reactions with camphor.

Origins of the high stereoselectivity in the conjugate addition of lithium(α-methylbenzyl)benzylamide to t-butyl cinnamate (1994)
Journal Article

A model for the stereoselective conjugate addition of lithium (α-methylbenzyl) benzylamide, to t-butyl cinnamate has been devised, using molecular modelling techniques. © 1994.

A novel one-pot synthesis of homochiral (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-Fe(CO) (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)COCH3 (1994)
Journal Article

Treatment of the salt [Fe(CO)2(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)]Br with potassium L-mentholate followed by lithium bromide and methyllithium generates, after work-up and crystallisation, homochiral (S)-(+)-[Fe(CO)(η5-C 5H5)(PPh3)COCH3] in ≥ 30% yield.

Kinetic resolution of the chiral iron acetyl [Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)COMe] (1993)
Journal Article

The chiral discrimination displayed between the enolate derived from (RS)-[Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)COMe] and (1R)-(+)-camphor furnishes a practical route to homochiral (R)-[Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)COMe] via a kinetic resolution protocol, while a retro-aldo...

Pyroelectric organo-ruthenium Langmuir-Blodgett films (1992)
Journal Article

Pyroelectric and dielectric data are presented for Langmuir-Blodgett multilayers of molecules of a class of organo-ruthenium complexes. A correlation between the average area per molecule and the magnitude of the pyroelectric coefficient is demonstra... Read More about Pyroelectric organo-ruthenium Langmuir-Blodgett films.

A New Mode of Metal Encapsulation (1990)
Journal Article

All ten oxygen atoms of the acyclic oligomer 1 c participate in the coordination of Ba2⊕ in the “scorpion” complex 1c · Ba(SCN)2 · Me2CO. The eleventh coordination site is occupied by the acetone molecule. A further characteristic of the complex are... Read More about A New Mode of Metal Encapsulation.
