Treatment of V(N[(t)Bu]Ar)(3) (1) (Ar = 3,5-Me(2)C(6)H(3)) with O(2) was shown by stopped-flow kinetic studies to result in the rapid formation of (η(1)-O(2))V(N[(t)Bu]Ar)(3) (2) (ΔH(‡) = 3.3 ± 0.2 kcal/mol and ΔS(‡) = -22 ± 1 cal mol(-1) K(-1)), which subsequently isomerizes to (η(2)-O(2))V(N[(t)Bu]Ar)(3) (3) (ΔH(‡) = 10.3 ± 0.9 kcal/mol and ΔS(‡) = -6 ± 4 cal mol(-1) K(-1)). The enthalpy of binding of O(2) to form 3 is -75.0 ± 2.0 kcal/mol, as measured by solution calorimetry. The reaction of 3 and 1 to form 2 equiv of O≡V(N[(t)Bu]Ar)(3) (4) occurs by initial isomerization of 3 to 2. The results of computational studies of this rearrangement (ΔH = 4.2 kcal/mol; ΔH(‡) = 16 kcal/mol) are in accord with experimental data (ΔH = 4 ± 3 kcal/mol; ΔH(‡) = 14 ± 3 kcal/mol). With the aim of suppressing the formation of 4, the reaction of O(2) with 1 in the presence of (t)BuCN was studied. At -45 °C, the principal products of this reaction are 3 and (t)BuC(═O)N≡V(N[(t)Bu]Ar)(3) (5), in which the bound nitrile has been oxidized. Crystal structures of 3 and 5 are reported.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 October 2012.
All research outputs
#20,171,868
of 22,684,168 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#59,938
of 61,776 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#163,453
of 183,629 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#466
of 526 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,684,168 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 61,776 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 183,629 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 526 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
