- A Chromogenic Crown Ether as a Sensing Molecule in Optical Sensors for the Detection of Hard Metal Ions
-
A new chromogenic crown ether based on a merocyanine dye and a phenolic crown ether shows a striking selectivity for calcium or barium complexation and has a potential use in optical sensors.

- Desymmetrization of Phosphinic Acids via Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation: Rapid Access to P-Chiral Phosphinates
-
The synthesis of P-chiral compounds is challenging, especially since useful catalytic methods for preparing such molecules are scarce. Herein we disclose a desymmetrization that employs phosphinic acids as prochiral nucleophiles in a Pd-catalyzed asymmetr

- Dramatic influence of the nature of the surfactant aggregate on the rate constant for hydrolysis of phosphinate esters in aqueous nematic lyotropic liquid crystals
-
The o-iodosobenzoic acid catalyzed hydrolysis of two organophosphinate esters has been studied in the lyotropic nematic phases of myrystyltrimethylammonium bromide in 1-decanol, ammonium bromide, and water. Depending on the concentration of these ingredients, three phases are observed at room temperature consisting of rod-like (N//C), disk-like (N//L), or sphere-like (I) aggregates. There is a three order of magnitude difference in the rate constant for hydrolysis between N//L and N//C phases. The N//L phase serves as a protective environment, preventing the hydrolysis of the ester, whereas the N//C phase allows the reaction to occur rapidly. Based upon infrared evidence, the phosphinate ester is solubilized in the hydrocarbon region of N//L aggregates, but in N// C and I aggregates the solute is nearer the aqueous interface.
