Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reagents phthalonitrile (TCI, Philadelphia, PA, USA), trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (Synquest, Alachua, FL, USA), chlorotrimethylsilane (Acros, Fair Lawn, NJ, USA), silicon tetrachloride (Sigma, Sheboygan, WI, USA) and 1,3-diiminoisoindoline (TCI, Philadelphia, PA, USA) were obtained commercially and used as received. Lithium bis(trimethylsilylamide) etherate [30 (link)], HCl gas [31 (link)] and bis(3,4,5-trifluorophenoxy) silicon phthalocyanine [32 (link)] were prepared as outlined in literature. All solvents were ACS grade; dry solvents were obtained by passing through activated alumina on a J.C. Meyer solvent purification system. Quinoline (Oakwood, Estill, SC, USA) was distilled over zinc dust. All reactions were performed under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen. NMR spectra were run in either DMSO-d6 or MeCN-d3 solutions at room temperature on a Bruker Avance 300 or 400 MHz spectrometer (Billerica, MA, USA, Figures S2–S4). 19F-NMR spectra were referenced to trifluoroacetic acid at −76.55 ppm (Figure S5). IR spectra of solid samples were recorded on an Agilent Technologies Cary 630 FT-IR spectrometer (Cary, NC, USA).

Synthesis of Trisilane via Carbodiimide

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trisilane was purchased from Voltaix, and stored in a glovebox (oxygen level < 0.1 ppm). N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (99%), silicon tetrachloride (99%), butyl-lithium (2.5 m in hexane), n-hexane (anhydrous 95%), chloroform, and absolute ethanol were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used without further purification. Toluene and THF were dried using an Innovative Technology solvents purification system, then oxygen was removed by three freeze–pump–thaw cycles. The purified solvents were stored over 3 Å molecular sieves in an argon filled glovebox.

Synthesis of Cu-SiOx Catalysts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the synthesis of 2.5% silica-loaded Cu catalysts, 0.5984 g of CuCl2.2H2O (Sigma-Aldrich, ACS reagent, ≥99.0%) was dissolved into 180 mL ethanol under magnetic stirring. Then 90 μL of silicon tetrachloride (Sigma-Aldrich, 99.998% trace metals basis) was injected into the Cu(II) solutions. Afterward, 0.6 g of sodium borohydride (Sigma-Aldrich, powder, ≥98.0%) dispersed in 120 mL of ethanol was added into the above-mentioned solution under stirring. The color of the solutions changed from blue to darkish. After stirring for 5 min, precipitates formed in the solution were kept for 30 mins and then centrifuged. The as-prepared Cu-SiOx precipitates were washed with ethanol under intense ultrasonication at least three times to remove all unreacted reagents. The Cu-SiOx catalysts were then dried under vacuum at room temperature overnight. The silica-loaded Cu catalysts with different Si/Cu ratios of 0, 0.01, and 0.05 were synthesized by following a procedure similar to that described above, except for changing the amount of silicon tetrachloride.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was obtained from an MBraun MBSPS 5 solvent purification system. Toluene, dimethylformamide (DMF), and formamide were dried using an Innovative Technology solvent purification system, then oxygen was removed by three freeze–pump–thaw cycles. The purified solvents were stored over 3 Å molecular sieves in an argon filled glovebox. Carbon-coated copper grids were purchased from Electron Microscopy Sciences (Hatfield, PA). All the experiments were carried out under inert atmosphere, with Schlenk techniques or in an argon-filled glovebox.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
