The preparation of a series of imidazolium salts bearing N‐allyl substituents, and a range of
substituents on the second nitrogen atom that have varying electronic and steric properties …

Herein, we present, to our knowledge, the first spectroscopic characterization of the Cu (I)
active site of the plant ethylene receptor ETR1. The x-ray absorption (XAS) and extended x …

A set of [Cu (I) Ln (C2H4)] q (q=− 1, 0, or 1) complex modelling systems of experimental
interest were studied by DFT calculations to analyze the Cu (I)–ethylene bonding using NBO …

Methylcyclopropene is a commercially available ethylene inhibitor, which has been
proposed to bind with the copper active site in Ethylene Receptor 1 involved in the fruit …

Density functional theory has been used to investigate binding and activation of ethylene by
the group 12 metal ions Zn 2+, Cd 2+, and Hg 2+ in a series of [M (L)(η 2–C 2 H 4)] n+ …

The impact of ancillary ligand basicity on the binding and activation of ethylene in a series of
[(L) Pd 0 (C 2 H 4)] and [(L) Pd II (C 2 H 4)] 2+ complexes (where L= substituted 1, 10 …

Copper salts are often used to activate the CH bond of alkynes and to catalyze the
cycloaddition of alkynes to azides (CuAAC reaction). While cheap and easily accessible, the …
