Organic and Organometallic Catalysts for Aqueous Nitrile Hydration and Carbon-Carbon Bond Forming Reactions
(2013)This dissertation investigates the ability of the phosphine 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) and derivatives to serve as either organocataysts or ancillary ligands coordinated to transition metal catalysts. PTA and ... -

Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Water-soluble Phosphines: Application to Ru-Catalyzed Hydration of Nitriles in Aqueous and Biphasic Media
(2011)This dissertation investigates the synthesis and characterization of a series of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) derivatives and their ruthenium arene complexes as potential water-soluble catalysts for aqueous and ... -

Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactivity of the Half-Sandwich Ruthenium (II) Hydride Complexes of 1,3,5-Triaza-7-Phosphaadamantane
(2014)A new water-soluble bis-PTA ruthenium (II) hydride complex, IndRu(PTA)2H, is obtained by conversion of the mixed-phosphine ruthenium complex IndRu(PTA)(PPh3)Cl into IndRu(PTA)(PPh3)H followed by addition of 1,3,5-triaza- ...
