The protocol is distinguished by its broad applicability, offering unconventional disconnections to access β/γ-substituted aliphatic alcohols that are difficult to reach otherwise.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144737296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The benzene C-H bond formally adds across the Ni-Si core to form a nickel-silyl complex with an H-Si-Ni-Ph linkage bearing a highly covalent Ni-Si bond (2.2363(6) Å). Dissolution of this product in neat arene solvent, e.g., toluene, trifluorotoluene, or anisole, resulted in the complete conversion to the aryl C-H activated product of the solvent and, thereby, demonstrates the facile reversibility of C-H bond activation across the Ni-Si core. The various arene C-H bond activations by the reactive Ni(0)-silylene species were investigated using density functional theory calculations. In all cases, the arene initially forms an η2-adduct to Ni(0), and then C-H activation proceeds via a concerted oxidative addition at only the Ni center. The Si center assists C-H bond activation by sharing the redox burden with Ni while stabilizing the resultant hydride.","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144737323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite being studied since the late 1960s, the mechanism of singlet fission is still not fully understood. This is partly because the main technique used to study singlet fission, optical or visible/near-IR transient absorption spectroscopy, cannot distinguish between the strongly coupled triplet-pair state <sup>1</sup>(TT), weakly interacting triplet pairs (T..T), and independent triplet states T<sub>1</sub> + T<sub>1</sub>. To solve this problem, we combine transient optical spectroscopy performed as a function of magnetic field and transient electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to probe the different steps involved in the singlet fission mechanism. By using transient photoluminescence spectroscopy performed as a function of magnetic field to selectively probe the second step of singlet fission: <sup>1</sup>(TT) ⇌ (T..T), we show that in a well-studied model system, anthradithiophene (diF-TES-ADT), this step is highly temperature-dependent, even though the first step, <sup>1</sup>S → <sup>1</sup>(TT), is not. Transient ESR measurements confirm the absence of singlet fission at temperatures between 40 and 250 K for this system, with clear signatures of triplets generated by intersystem crossing and evidence for decay by triplet-triplet annihilation, further supported by magnetic field effect measurements. We conclude that in polycrystalline diF-TES-ADT, intersystem crossing outcompetes triplet hopping at temperatures below 270 K, enabling direct intersystem crossing from the bound triplet pair <sup>1</sup>(TT) to an independent triplet state T<sub>1</sub> localized on a single chromophore. The generated triplets can re-encounter and decay through triplet-triplet annihilation.</p>","PeriodicalId":49,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Chemical Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144751757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
