  • Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands 

    Diaz-Rodriguez, Roberto M., Robertson, Katherine N., and Thompson, Alison. (2019). Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands. Dalton Transactions.
    A parameter is reported by which to use 13C NMR chemical shifts to measure and predict the donor capabilities of N^N dipyrrinato and aza-dipyrrinato ligands chelating in L^X fashion. The results enable the rationalisation ...
  • Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts 

    Synthesis and Reactivity of Aza-Dipyrrin Alkali Metal Salts. Diaz-Rodriguez, R.M.; Robertson, K.N.; Thompson, A. Chem. Commun. 2018, accepted, CC-COM-09-2018-007101.R1 (NSERC) DOI: 10.1039/C8CC07101B
    We report the lithium, sodium and potassium salts of aza-dipyrrins and detail their use as anionic aza-dipyrrinato ligand sources in complexation. Of the three types of alkali salts studied, those of lithium are found to ...
  • Synthesis of sulfenyl dipyrroles via reaction of a-free pyrroles with thionyl chloride 

    Beh, Michael H. R.; Smith, Craig D.; Robertson, Katherine N.; and Thompson, Alison. (2020). Synthesis of sulfenyl dipyrroles via reaction of a-free pyrroles with thionyl chloride. Canadian Journal of Chemistry,
  • Synthesis, properties and reactivity of BCl2 aza-BODIPY complexes and salts of the aza-dipyrrinato scaffold 

    Diaz-Rodriguez, R. M., Burke, L., Robertson, K. N., & Thompson, A. (2020). Synthesis, properties and reactivity of BCl 2 aza-BODIPY complexes and salts of the aza-dipyrrinato scaffold. Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, 18(11), 2139-2147.
    The synthesis and characterisation of the BCl2-chelated complexes of both archetypal aza-dipyrrin sub- types are presented. A stepwise halogen exchange, leading to a mixed-halide Cl–B–F intermediate, is implicated in the ...
