Article Abstract
The finding of the unprecedented 16-e tricoordinate planar rhodium(-Ι) complex, K[Rh(IPr)(dvtms)] (K[1]) (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolyl-2-ylidene, dvtms = divinyltretramethyldisiloxane) prompted us to explore its reactivity. K[1] reacts as a nucleophile with methyliodide to give [Rh(IPr)(dvtms)Me], a Rh(Ι) compound with an exceptional trigonal-pyramidal structure. Other haloalkanes abstract one electron from K[1] to give the previously reported [Rh(IPr)(dvtms)] complex. K[1] also reacts with protonic acids and weak proton sources such as water and ketones to eventually give the rare tricoordinate 14-electron complex [Rh(IPr)(SiMeOSiMeCH = CH)] with a Rh -Si bond. The 16-electron complex [Rh(IPr)(SiMeOSiMeCH = CH)(HC = CH)] was characterized as an intermediate in this reaction. Furthermore, K[1] runs up to five cycles of catalytic condensation of nonenolizable aldehydes to esters, such as p-tolylaldehyde, before being fully converted into the inactive complex Rh(IPr)(η-CH tolyl)(CH)] with fragmentation of the diolefin dvtms. Computational studies have provided valuable insights into the reactivity patterns and behavior of this complex, including those of the rhodium(-I)/rhodium(I) catalytic cycle.

Objectives: This study focused on synthesizing and characterizing novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety and evaluating their antimicrobial activity against several bacterial strains. The research aimed to identify key structural features that enhance antimicrobial efficacy through structure-activity relationship analysis and identify the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most potent compounds to assess their potential for further development as antimicrobial agents.
Materials And Methods: Nine novel thiosemicarbazide derivatives containing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized by reacting 1,2,4-triazole derivatives with thiosemicarbazide precursors, and the products were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-NMR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.

Propargyl radical (•C3H3) and butadienyl radical (•i-C4H5) are two crucial intermediates in combustion and astrochemistry, particularly in the formation of C7H8 aromatics such as toluene. However, the precise formation mechanisms of the first-ring aromatics through C3 + C4 reactions have remained ambiguous. This study explores the detailed potential energy surface (PES) of C7H8 at the •C3H3 + •i-C4H5 entrance reaction channel, alongside conducting kinetic calculations and modeling.

Discovering chemical reaction pathways using quantum mechanics is impractical for many systems of practical interest because of unfavorable scaling and computational cost. While machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) trained on quantum mechanical data offer a promising alternative, they face challenges for reactive systems due to the need for extensive sampling of the potential energy surface in regions that are far from equilibrium geometries. Unfortunately, traditional MLIP training protocols are not designed for comprehensive reaction exploration.

The thermal decomposition of isopropanol was studied experimentally and theoretically with a view to isolate and directly measure rate coefficients for the dominant radical channel in this multi-channel process. Two complementary shock tube methods, laser schlieren densitomtery and H-atom atomic resonance absorption spectroscopy, were used to obtain rate coefficents for the C-C bond fission channel. The experimental ranges span temperatures from 1200-2100 K and pressures between 30-690 torr.
