New transition metal carbene complexes for application in homogeneous catalysis
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-12)
This study comprises the preparation and full characterisation of new carbene complexes of group
10 metals (Ni, Pd or Pt), the group 9 metal, rhodium, as well as group 6 metals (Cr and/or W).
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ...
High resolution NMR studies concerning the solvation/hydration and coordination chemistry of Pt (II/IV) compounds
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Pt(JV) complexes with S, 0-donating aroylthioureas have been synthesized by oxidative addition of
elemental halogens to the Pt(JJ) precursors, leading to the first-reported crystal structures of Pt(JV) ...
A DFT study of the catalytic hydrocyanation of ethylene with nickel complexes
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: DFT calculations employing the B3LYP functional were done to investigate the mechanism for the Ni-catalyzed hydrocyanation of ethylene as proposed by Tolman. Although this reaction is an important industrial ...
