Abstract:
Three Pt(II)-bis(quinolinyl) complexes with varying electron densities were synthesized, structurally characterized and used for photocatalytic hydrogen production under different conditions. All the complexes were found to be active for hydrogen production giving a maximum turnover number (TON) of 1230 surpassing the conventionally used Pt-terpyridyl complexes.

Radical Substitution: Hydrogenolysis of Alkyl Halides with Tributyltin Hydride
The bonds formed in this reaction are stronger than the bonds broken, making it energetically favorable. The reaction follows a radical chain mechanism similar to radical halogenation...

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
