Atomically precise coinage metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) nanoclusters (NCs) have been the subject of immense interest for their intriguing structural, photophysical, and catalytic properties. However, the synthesis of Cu NCs is highly challenging because of low reduction potential and high reactivity of copper, demonstrating the need for new synthetic methods using appropriate ligand combinations. By designing a diamine-assisted synthetic strategy, here we report the synthesis and total structure characterization of a box-like dianionic Cu NC [Cu32(PET)24H8Cl2](PPh4)2 coprotected by 2-phenylethanethiolate (PET), hydride, and chloride ligands. Its crystal structure comprises a rare bisquare antiprismatic Cu14H8 core, assembled by two square antiprisms by edge sharing, followed by hydride binding. The rod-shaped Cu14H8 core is clamped by two complex Cu7(PET)11Cl and two simple Cu2PET metal ligand frameworks, constructing the complete structure of Cu32 NC. The presence, number, and location of hydrides are established by combined experimental and density functional theory results. The electronic structure calculations show the cluster as a zero-free-electron system, reproduce well the measured optical absorption spectrum, and explain the main absorption features. Furthermore, the Cu32 cluster is found to be a highly active homogeneous catalyst for C-N bond formation in aniline carbonylation reactions at room temperature. We hope that new findings in this work will stimulate and expand the research on Cu and other active metal NCs.

The synthesis of a wide variety of carbamates from amines, alcohols and carbon monoxide has been achieved by means of a Rh-catalysed oxidative carbonylation reaction that uses Oxone as a stoichiometric oxidant. In-depth studies on the reaction mechanism shed light on the intimate role of Oxone in the catalytic cycle.
(Tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane as a reagent for the synthesis of methyl carbamates via hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides

A new, mild procedure for the Hofmann rearrangement of aromatic and aliphatic carboxamides using (tosylimino)phenyl-λ3-iodane, PhINTs, as a reagent is reported. Because of the mild reaction conditions, this method is particularly useful for the Hofmann rearrangement of substituted benzamides, which usually afford complex reaction mixtures with other hypervalent iodine oxidants. The mild reaction conditions and high selectivity in the reaction of carboxamides with PhINTs allow the isolation of the initially formed labile isocyanates or their subsequent conversion to stable carbamates by treatment with alcohols.
