• A highly asymmetric gold(III) η3‐allyl complex 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Nova, Ainara; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A highly asymmetric AuIII η3‐allyl complex has been generated by treating Au(η1‐allyl)Br(tpy) (tpy=2‐(p‐tolyl)pyridine) with AgNTf2. The resulting η3‐allyl complex has been characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray ...
    • Hydrogenation of CO2 to Methanol by Pt Nanoparticles Encapsulated in UiO-67: Deciphering the Role of the Metal−Organic Framework 

      Gutterød, Emil Sebastian; Lazzarini, Andrea; Fjermestad, Torstein; Kaur, Gurpreet; Manzoli, Maela; Bordiga, Silvia; Svelle, Stian; Lillerud, Karl Petter; Skúlason, Egill; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Nova, Ainara; Olsbye, Unni (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) show great prospect as catalysts and catalyst support materials. Yet, studies that address their dynamic, kinetic, and mechanistic role in target reactions are scarce. In this study, an ...
    • trans-Mutation at Gold(III): A mechanistic study of a catalytic acetylene functionalization via a double insertion pathway 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Nova, Ainara; Balcells, David; Langseth, Eirin; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats; Laurenczy, Gábor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The Au(III) complex Au(tpy)(OAcF)2 (OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) catalyzes the anti addition of trifluoroacetic acid (HOAcF) to acetylene to furnish vinyl trifluoroacetate. The Au(III) vinyl complex ...
