Single electron transfer from the Zr(III)Co(0) heterobimetallic complex (THF)Zr(MesNP(i)Pr2)3Co-N2 (1) to benzophenone was previously shown to result in the isobenzopinacol product [(Ph2CO)Zr(MesNP(i)Pr2)3Co-N2]2 (2) via coupling of two ketyl radicals. In this work, thermolysis of 2 in an attempt to favor a monomeric ketyl radical species unexpectedly led to cleavage of the C-O bond to generate a Zr/Co μ-oxo species featuring an unusual terminal Co═CPh2 carbene linkage, (η(2)-MesNP(i)Pr2)Zr(μ-O)(MesNP(i)Pr2)2Co═CPh2 (3). This complex was characterized structurally and spectroscopically, and its electronic structure is discussed in the context of density functional theory calculations. Complex 3 was also shown to be active toward carbene group transfer (cyclopropanation), and silane addition to 3 leads to PhSiH2O-Zr(MesNP(i)Pr2)3Co-N2 (5) via a proposed Co-alkyl bond homolysis route.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. 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 06 November 2019.
All research outputs
#4,017,913
of 22,705,019 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#14,003
of 61,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,695
of 199,476 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#140
of 538 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,705,019 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 61,804 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
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 199,476 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 538 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
