abstract = {The coordination of CoII with two calixarene-based TREN [tris(2-aminoethyl)amine] ligands is reported. The two ligands differ for the presence of three anisole groups (in Calix-TRENMe) or three phenol groups (in Calix-TRENH) in the macrocyclic structure surrounding the CoIITREN core. Dicationic complexes [CoII(CH3CN)Calix-TRENMe][ClO4]2 and [CoII(CH3CN)Calix-TRENH][ClO4]2 were synthesized and fully chemically characterized. Surprisingly, a crystal-to-crystal transformation led to the substitution of the acetonitrile guest ligand in [CoII(CH3CN)Calix-TRENMe][ClO4]2 by a pair of H-bonded water molecules and formation of a new complex [CoII(OH2∙∙∙OH2)Calix-TRENMe][ClO4]2. This gave rise to the first example of an X-ray characterized aqua-complex with a CoII centre confined in a neutral, 5-coordinate N4(OH2) environment.},

In this perspective, a series of sulfonamides containing both an alkyne and an iodoalkyl subunit was synthesized and subjected to a copper-based photoredox catalyst, [Cu(bcp)DPEphos)]PF6, in the presence of Hunig’s base and under blue light irradiation. In all cases, and regardless of the position of the nitrogen atom with respect to both the alkyne and the iodide, an exclusive exo-dig cyclization was observed, with no traces of competing endo-dig products detectable. This radical cyclization enables the synthesis of azetidines, pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepanes and, all together, these results provide a useful systematic study of radical digonal cyclizations to nitrogen heterocycles.</jats:p>},

abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The reductive activation of C–N bonds by single-electron transfer enables the generation of radicals from readily available and abundant amines. Despite their potential, such transformations remain challenging because of the stability of the C–N bond, which often requires preactivation to facilitate its cleavage. In this context, quaternary ammonium salts constitute ideal amine-derived radical precursors as they are stable and easy to handle, in addition to enabling the design of atom-economical processes. In this article, we highlight our recent work on the photoredox-catalyzed reductive activation of ammonium salts. Several ammonium salts could indeed be successfully activated using iridium photoredox catalysis, the corresponding radicals being subsequently engaged in hydrodeamination reactions and radical couplings. Moreover, the reactivity observed experimentally could be correlated to the redox potentials of the ammonium salts, which were determined by cyclic voltammetry.</jats:p><jats:p>1 Introduction</jats:p><jats:p>2 Hydrodeamination of Benzylic and Aryl Ammonium Salts</jats:p><jats:p>3 Selective Activation and Extension to Radical Couplings</jats:p><jats:p>4 Determination of the Redox Potentials of Ammonium Salts</jats:p><jats:p>5 Conclusion</jats:p>},

abstract = {Abstract The synthesis of a series of mononuclear, dicationic CoII funnel complexes is reported herein. Three ligands Calix‐TMPAX present a calix[6]arene cone closed at its small rim by a tris (2‐pyridylmethyl)amine (TMPA) unit and differ by the nature of three cavity walls, anisole, phenol or quinone. The X‐ray diffraction structure of [CoII (MeCN)Calix‐TMPAOMe ](ClO4 )2 displays a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, with Co bound to all 4 nitrogen atoms of the TMPA cap, and to one MeCN guest molecule buried inside the calixarene cavity. All complexes were fully characterized in solution as high spin 5‐coordinate species using various techniques, including 1 H NMR spectroscopy. For comparison purpose, an analogous CoII complex based on the TMPACH2OH ligand, devoid of a calixarene core, was synthetized. Its X‐ray structure shows a dicationic 7‐coordinate cobalt(II) center in the N4 O3 environment provided by the ligand, leaving no space for exogenous ligand binding. This contrasts with the 5‐coordinate complexes obtained with the calix‐ligands that allow guest‐ligand binding and exchange. A brief overview of the coordination properties of the calix‐complexes, compared to those obtained with TMPA ligands, devoid of a cavity, highlights major differences in terms of complexation kinetics, geometry, coordination to the labile site, anion affinity, nuclearity, and stability. },

Its scope and functional group compatibility were both found to be quite broad as a large variety of both aminophosphines and (hetero)aryl iodides, including complex ones, could be utilized. The ortho ‐arylated anilines could be obtained in high average yields, without any competing diarylation and with full regioselectivity, which constitutes a major step forward compared to other processes. The reaction is moreover not limited to aryl iodides, as an aryl bromide and a triflate could be successfully used, and could be extended to diarylation. Mechanistic studies revealed the key and unique role of the aminophosphine, acting not only as a substrate but also as a ligand for the rhodium catalyst. },
