- Rhodium-Catalyzed Alkenylation of Toluene Using 1-Pentene: Regioselectivity to Generate Precursors for Bicyclic Compounds
-
Rhodium catalysts for arene alkenylation reported by our group (e.g., Science 2015, 348, 421; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017, 139, 5474; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 140, 17007) have demonstrated selectivity for 1-aryl alkenes over y-aryl alkenes (y > 1). This selectivity is notable because 1-aryl alkenes or 1-aryl alkanes cannot be generated using acid-based Friedel-Crafts arene alkylation or acidic zeolite catalysts. Herein, we report the extension of Rh arene alkenylation catalysis to generate 1-tolyl-1-pentenes, which are potential precursors for bicyclic compounds. The olefin concentration, copper(II) oxidant identity and concentration, reaction temperature, and rhodium concentration for the alkenylation of toluene with 1-pentene have been optimized using [Rh(Η2-C2H4)2(μ-OAc)]2 as the catalyst precursor. The rhodium-based catalysis achieves up to 12(1):1 anti-Markovnikov selectivity for 1-tolyl-1-pentenes over 2-tolyl-2-pentenes and is selective for alkenylation in the meta and para positions.

- Colloidal synthesis and magnetic properties of anisotropic-shaped spinel CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals
-
Anisotropic-shaped CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals have been synthesized by thermal decomposition and reaction of novel mixed metal-oleate complexes with selenium in a high-boiling point organic solvent, trioctylamine (TOA). The synthesized CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals exhibit close to triangular and hexagonal morphology, with an average size of 20 nm. X-ray diffraction patterns and XPS spectral analysis confirm the formation of the pure spinel phase without any impurities. A possible reaction mechanism is suggested and formation pathways for the triangular and hexagonal shaped CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals are proposed. Magnetic studies indicate that the anisotropic-shaped CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals are superparamagnetic near room temperature but exhibit ferromagnetic behavior at lower temperatures, with magnetization values of 31 and 43 emu g-1 at 300 and 5 K, respectively.

- Facile Gram-Scale Synthesis of the First n-Type CuFeS2 Nanocrystals for Thermoelectric Applications
-
The described method enables facile gram-scale preparation of CuFeS2 nanocrystals exhibiting interesting thermoelectric properties from simple and readily available precursors. Exchange of primary organic ligands for inorganic ones using either (NH4)2S or triethyloxonium tetrafuoroborate (Meerwein's salt) resulted in nanocrystals from which n-type bulk thermoelectric materials were obtained through sintering under pressure. The measured physical properties of the fabricated bulk thermoelectric materials depend on the type of inorganic ligands used for the exchange. In particular, materials that were surface-modified with Meerwein's salt have a higher Seebeck coefficient (|S| = 238 μV K–1) as compared to those modified with (NH4)2S, whereas the latter exhibit higher electrical conductivity (8500 S m–1) and lower thermal conductivity (0.5 W m–1 K–1), both of which are favorable for thermoelectric applications.

- Cu-Fe-S Nanocrystals Exhibiting Tunable Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance in the Visible to NIR Spectral Ranges
-
Cu-Fe-S nanocrystals exhibiting a strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect were synthesized for the first time. The elaborated reproducible preparation procedure involved copper(II) oleate, iron(III) stearate, and sulfur powder dissolved in oleylamine (OLA) as precursors. The wavelength of the plasmonic resonance maximum could be tuned by changing the Cu/Fe ratio in the resulting nanocrystals, being the most energetic for the 1:1 ratio (486 nm) and undergoing a bathochromic shift to ca. 1200 nm with an increase to 6:1. LSPR could also be observed in nanocrystals prepared from the same metal precursors and sulfur powder dissolved in 1-octadecene (ODE), provided that the sulfur precursor was taken in excess. Detailed analysis of the reaction mixture by chromatographic techniques, supplemented by mass spectrometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy enabled the identification of the true chemical nature of the sulfur precursor in S/OLA, namely, (C18H35NH3+)(C18H35NH-S8-), a reactive product of the reduction of elemental sulfur by the amine groups of OLA. In the case of the S/ODE precursor, the true precursors are much less reactive primary or secondary thioethers and dialkyl polysulfides.

- Synthesis and surface chemistry of high quality wurtzite and kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals using tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate as a new tin source
-
A novel synthesis method for the preparation of Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals is presented using a liquid precursor of tin, namely tin(ii) 2-ethylhexanoate, which yields small and nearly monodisperse NCs either in the kesterite or in the wurtzite phase depending on the sulfur source (elemental sulfur in oleylamine vs. dodecanethiol).

- Efficient solid-state light-emitting CuCdS nanocrystals synthesized in air
-
Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) possess high photoluminescence (PL) typically in the solution phase. In contrary, PL rapidly quenches in the solid state. Efficient solid state luminescence can be achieved by inducing a large Stokes shift. Here we report on a novel synthesis of compositionally controlled CuCdS NCs in air avoiding the usual complexity of using inert atmosphere. These NCs show long-range color tunability over the entire visible range with a remarkable Stokes shift up to about 1.25 eV. Overcoating the NCs leads to a high solid-state PL quantum yield (QY) of ca. 55% measured by using an integrating sphere. Unique charge carrier recombination mechanisms have been recognized from the NCs, which are correlated to the internal NC structure probed by using extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. EXAFS measurements show a Cu-rich surface and Cd-rich interior with 46% CuI being randomly distributed within 84% of the NC volume creating additional transition states for PL. Color-tunable solid-state luminescence remains stable in air enabling fabrication of light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

- Characterisation of metal carboxylates by Raman and infrared spectroscopy in works of art
-
This work introduces the complementary use of μ-Raman and μ-Fourier transform infrared (IR) spectroscopy for the detection of specific carbon chains and cations for the identification of metal carboxylates within oil paint microsamples. Metal carboxylates (metal soaps) form naturally when free fatty acids react with metal cations and may also be found as additives or degradation products. Twenty-two metal carboxylates were synthesised, and their spectra assembled in a reference database. Metal salts of cations commonly present in oil paintings were used, including lead, zinc, calcium, cadmium, copper and manganese. The fatty acids selected were the saturated acids palmitic (C1 6:0) and stearic (C18:0) and the polyunsaturated oleic acid (C1 8:1). Azelaic acid (C9 diacid), a product resulting from autoxidation of polyunsaturated acids, was also included. Metal carboxylates were characterised by Raman and IR spectroscopy, and their structures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Raman and IR spectroscopy proved to be complementary techniques for a full identification of the metal carboxylates in complex aged paint. Raman enables the differentiation of the carbon chain length in the C-C stretching region (1120-1040 cm-1), and IR distinguishes the metal cation in the COO- stretching absorption region (1650-1380cm-1). Principal component analysis was applied to the spectra in order to facilitate a fast and accurate method to discriminate between the different metal carboxylates and to aide in their identification. Finally, spectra from case studies were successfully projected in the principal component analysis models built, enabling a higher confidence level for the identification of copper palmitate and copper azelate in two 19th-century Portuguese oil paintings.

- Synthesis of monodispersed wurtzite structure CuInSe2 nanocrystals and their application in high-performance organic-inorganic hybrid photodetectors
-
A new facile solution method for the synthesis of high-quality CuInSe 2 nanocrystals with monodispersed size and uniform hexagonal shape was developed. A high-performance hybrid photodetector based on a hybrid film of CuInSe2 nanocrystals and poly(3-hexylthiophene) was constructed. The device showed distinct ON and OFF states with a ratio of >100 in photocurrents responding to outside illumination. The high sensitivity and stability of the hybrid device revealed a broad prospect for use of the hybrid material in light detection and signal magnification for the development of large-area, low-cost, lightweight, and foldable products.
