Conformational diastereoisomers of PPh3 coordinated to stereogenic metal centres as molecular optical switches (2001)
Journal Article
Ayscough, A. P., Costello, J. F., & Davies, S. G. (2001). Conformational diastereoisomers of PPh3 coordinated to stereogenic metal centres as molecular optical switches. Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 12(11), 1621-1624. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0957-4166%2801%2900253-1

The specific rotation of (RFe,R,M)-4 switches sign upon epimerisation to (RFe,S,P)-5. X-Ray crystallographic studies suggest that inversion of the propeller configuration of the coordinated PPh3 ligand is the major contributor to the switch of specif...

Synthesis and structure of organoantimony (V) cyclometallates: Transannular interactions and the barrier to cyclisation (2001)
Journal Article
Barucki, H., Coles, S. J., Costello, J. F., & Hursthouse, M. B. (2001). Synthesis and structure of organoantimony (V) cyclometallates: Transannular interactions and the barrier to cyclisation. Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 622(1-2), 265-273. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0022-328X%2800%2900923-2

A variety of α-hydroxy carboxylic acid salts [AgO2CC(OH)R1R2] react with SbPh3Cl2 1 to afford the cyclometalled complexes 4b-g. A single crystal X-ray analysis of (±)-4g reveals the presence of conformational diastereoisomers arising from the helical...
