The solventless synthesis of tris(pyrazolyl)phenylmethane ligands of formula C₆H₅C(Pz)₃ (R = H, Me), starting from PhCCl₃ and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Pz) or pyrazole (Pz) was performed. The sterically crowded C₆H₅C(Pz)₃ is thermally transformed into the bis(pyrazolyl)(-pyrazolyl)phenylmethane ligand Pz-C₆H₄CH(Pz)₂. In this compound both Pz rings are linked through the N-atom to the methine C-atom. At higher temperatures, the binding mode of Pz changes from N1 to C4. All transformations occurred via quinonoid carbocation intermediates that undergo an aromatic electrophilic substitution on the 4-position of Pz. Reaction conditions were established to obtain five tris(pyrazolyl)phenylmethane ligands in moderate to good yields. ¹H- and C-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction of single crystals support the proposed structures.

To overcome the potential issue of active site blockage by surfactants in colloidal synthesis, alternative synthetic approaches must be explored. In this study, we investigated both solvent-free and colloidal thermolysis routes to synthesize nickel sulfides (NiS and NiS) using sulfur-based Ni complexes, [Ni(SCO(CH))] (Ni-Xan) and [Ni(SCN(CH))] (Ni-DTC) as precursors. The solvent-free decomposition of these complexes produced ligand-free NiS and NiS in the absence or presence of triphenylphosphine (TPP), respectively.

The mechanochemistry of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a well-established field whose development has advanced the understanding and the design of both MOF materials and mechanochemical reactions. This review outlines the close and mutually beneficial interplay of these two fields over the past two decades, including the description of mechanochemical strategies to access MOFs as well as the response of these materials to mechanical treatment and/or stress. Furthermore, we highlight how the use of MOFs as model targets for mechanochemical synthesis simultaneously improves the accessibility and understanding of this class of materials and, conversely, advances the experimental and fundamental understanding of mechanochemical reactions.

Mechanochemical synthesis of heterocyclic compounds is a growing research field due to its simplicity and environmental compatibility. Solvent-free mechanochemical reactions using a ball mill not only eliminate the need for bulky solvents and reduce waste but also open the door to the synthesis of various organic compounds, including common drugs. Combining two different acids, including molybdic acid (MoO(HO) complex structure) and Lewis acid BF, is a smart strategy to prepare a new and porous cluster nano-catalyst with high acidic properties (pH = 1).

Heterogeneous catalysis is considered as a suitable alternative to conventional organic synthesis for the selective production of industrially significant fine chemicals. The development of supported catalysts by dispersing minimal quantities of active component can reduce production costs and enhance energy efficiency. The current work reports the development of Deep eutectic solvent (DES) modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) system and its activity in the Knoevenagel condensation reaction.

This work focuses on two fundamental aspects that make the use of plastics and, more recently, bioplastics sustainable and cyclical, namely their recycling and the valorization of the products resulting from this process. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) was considered as substrate. A solventless partial chemical decomposition with concomitant branching was developed based on the use of reagents from renewable sources, namely pentaerythritol as polyalcohol and zinc stearate as catalyst.
