Epping R, de Zwart F, van Leest N, van der Vlugt J, Siegler M, Mathew S, et al.
Inorg Chem . 2024 Jan; 63(4):1974-1987. PMID: 38215498
Here, we present the development and characterization of the novel PhenTAA macrocycle as well as a series of [Ni(RPhenTAA)] complexes featuring two sites for ligand-centered redox-activity. These differ in the...

Mekkering M, Biemolt J, de Graaf J, Lin Y, van Leest N, Troglia A, et al.
Catal Sci Technol . 2023 Apr; 13(7):2255-2260. PMID: 37025647
Single-atom catalysts often show exceptionally high performance per metal loading. However, the isolated atom sites tend to agglomerate during preparation and/or high-temperature reaction. Here we show that in the case...

van Leest N, Tepaske M, Venderbosch B, Oudsen J, Tromp M, van der Vlugt J, et al.
ACS Catal . 2022 Aug; 10(14):7449-7463. PMID: 35912398
The oxidation state of the redox noninnocent tetra-amido macrocyclic ligand (TAML) scaffold was recently shown to affect the formation of nitrene radical species on cobalt(III) upon reaction with PhI=NNs [van...

van Beek C, van Leest N, Lutz M, de Vos S, Klein Gebbink R, de Bruin B, et al.
Chem Sci . 2022 Mar; 13(7):2094-2104. PMID: 35308864
Several metalloenzymes, including [FeFe]-hydrogenase, employ cofactors wherein multiple metal atoms work together with surrounding ligands that mediate heterolytic and concerted proton-electron transfer (CPET) bond activation steps. Herein, we report a...

van Leest N, de Zwart F, Zhou M, de Bruin B
JACS Au . 2021 Sep; 1(8):1101-1115. PMID: 34467352
Advances in (spectroscopic) characterization of the unusual electronic structures of open-shell cobalt complexes bearing redox-active ligands, combined with detailed mapping of their reactivity, have uncovered several new catalytic radical-type protocols...

Hierlmeier G, Coburger P, Scott D, Maier T, Pelties S, Wolf R, et al.
Chemistry . 2021 Aug; 27(60):14936-14946. PMID: 34424579
Reactions of di-tert-butyldiphosphatetrahedrane (1) with cycloocta-1,5-diene- or anthracene-stabilised metalate anions of iron and cobalt consistently afford complexes of the rarely encountered 1,2-diphosphacyclobutadiene ligand, which have previously been very challenging synthetic...

Sang S, Unruh T, Demeshko S, Domenianni L, van Leest N, Marquetand P, et al.
Chemistry . 2021 Jun; 27(68):16978-16989. PMID: 34156122
Outer-sphere radical hydrogenation of olefins proceeds via stepwise hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from transition metal hydride species to the substrate. Typical catalysts exhibit M-H bonds that are either too weak...

van Leest N, de Bruin B
Inorg Chem . 2021 Jun; 60(12):8380-8387. PMID: 34096281
Cobalt porphyrin complexes are established catalysts for carbene and nitrene radical group-transfer reactions. The key carbene and mono- and bisnitrene radical complexes coordinated to [Co(TPP)] (TPP = tetraphenylporphyrin) have previously...

Maier T, Gawron M, Coburger P, Bodensteiner M, Wolf R, van Leest N, et al.
Inorg Chem . 2020 Oct; 59(21):16035-16052. PMID: 33078926
The synthesis of rare anionic heteroleptic and homoleptic α-diimine iron complexes is described. Heteroleptic BIAN (bis(aryl)iminoacenaphthene) complexes -[K([18]c-6)(thf)] and -[K([18]c-6)(thf)] were synthesized by reduction of the [(BIAN)FeBr] precursor complex using...

Holtrop F, Jupp A, Kooij B, van Leest N, de Bruin B, Chris Slootweg J
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2020 Aug; 59(49):22210-22216. PMID: 32840947
Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are well known for their ability to activate small molecules. Recent reports of radical formation within such systems indicate single-electron transfer (SET) could play an important...
