- CO2-Folded Single-Chain Nanoparticles as Recyclable, Improved Carboxylase Mimics
-
Emulating the function of natural carboxylases to convert CO2 under atmospheric condition is a great challenge. Herein we report a class of CO2-folded single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) that can function as recyclable, function-intensified carboxylase mimics. Lewis pair polymers containing bulky Lewis acidic and basic groups as the precursor, can bind CO2 to drive an intramolecular folding into SCNPs, in which CO2 as the folded nodes can form gas-bridged bonds. Such bridging linkages highly activate CO2, which endows the SCNPs with extraordinary catalytic ability that can not only catalyze CO2-insertion of C(sp3)-H for imitating the natural enzyme's function, it can also act on non-natural carboxylation pathways for C(sp2 and sp)-H substrates. The nanocatalysts are of highly catalytic efficiency and recyclability, and can work at room temperature and near ambient CO2 condition, inspiring a new approach to sustainable C1 utilization.

- CARBOXYLATION CATALYSTS
-
The use of a complex of the form Z—M—OR in the carboxylation of a substrate is described. The group Z is a two-electron donor ligand, M is a metal and OR is selected from the group consisting of OH, alkoxy and aryloxy. The substrate may be carboxylated at a C—H or N—H bond. The metal M may be copper, silver or gold. The two-electron donor ligand may be a phosphine, a carbene or a phosphite ligand. Also described are methods of manufacture of the complexes and methods for preparing isotopically labelled caboxylic acids and carboxylic acid derivatives.

- Carboxylation of C-H bonds using N -heterocyclic carbene gold(I) complexes
-
A highly efficient [(NHC)AuI]-based (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) catalytic system for the carboxylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic C-H bonds was developed. The significant base strength of the Au-OH species is at the origin of the activation process and permits the facile functionalization of C-H bonds without the use of other organometallic reagents.

- Carboxylation of N-H/C-H bonds using n-heterocyclic carbene copper(I) complexes
-
Greenhouse gas makes good: A simple copper-mediated protocol has been developed where N-H or C-H bonds can be directly functionalized using an easily prepared catalyst. The novel [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] copper(I) hydroxide, [Cu(IPr)(OH)], permits the facile activation and carboxylation of N-H and C-H bonds with pKavalues of less than 27.7 (see scheme).

- Carbon dioxide as the C1 source for direct C-H functionalization of aromatic heterocycles
-
(Equation Presented). A simple and straightforward method has been developed for the direct carboxylation of aromatic heterocylces such as oxazoles, thiazoles, and oxadiazoles using CO2 as the C1 source. The reactions require no metal catalyst and only Cs2CO3 as the base. A good functional group tolerance is achieved.
