Platinum nanoparticles stabilized by N-heterocyclic thiones. Synthesis and catalytic activity in mono- and di-hydroboration of alkynes

Small Pt nanoparticles (1.3–1.7 nm) stabilized by N-heterocyclic thiones are efficient catalysts in the mono- and di-hydroboration of alkynes.

Copper(i) halide and palladium(ii) chloride complexes of 4-thioxo[1,3,5]oxadiazocines: synthesis, structure and antibacterial activity

The first copper(i) and palladium(ii) complexes containing monastrol analogs, 4-thioxo[1,3,5]oxadiazocine derivatives, have been synthesized. The complexes demonstrated significant antibacterial activity in contrast to free heterocyclic thiones.

PdII- and PtII-mediated coupling of aryl isocyanides with N-heterocyclic thiones

The first example of the addition of an ambident nucleophile’s endocyclic center to a coordinated isocyanide is reported, namely the PdII- and PtII-mediated reaction of aryl isocyanides with N-methylimidazole- and...

Stabilisation of gold nanoparticles by N-heterocyclic thiones

Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) have been prepared using N-heterocyclic thiones (NHTs) as ligand stabilisers.

Iodine-catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones using dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant

An iodine catalyzed sulfenylation of pyrazolones with a diverse range of heterocyclic thiols, heterocyclic thiones and disulfides has been described using dimethyl sulfoxide as an oxidant, which is an inexpensive, readily available and green oxidant.
