Iron-Catalyzed C-H Functionalization Processes
No full textIron-catalyzed C-H activation has recently emerged as an increasingly powerful tool for the step-economical transformation of unreactive C-H bonds. Particularly, the recent development of low-valent iron catalysis has set the stage for novel C-H activation strategies via chelation assistance. The low-cost, natural abundance, and low toxicity of iron prompted its very recent application in organometallic C-H activation catalysis. An overview of the use of iron catalysis in C-H activation processes is summarized herein up to May 2016
Weak O-Assistance Outcompeting Strong N,N-Bidentate Directing Groups in Copper Catalyzed C-H Chalcogenation
No full textA copper-mediated C-H chalcogenation of triazoles has been achieved by weak coordination. The user-friendly protocol showed high functional-group tolerance and ample substrate scope, yielding fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles with complete positional site-selectivity. The C-H selenylation could likewise be achieved by means of copper catalysis. Our findings highlight for the first time that weak O-coordination can outcompete the strong N,N-bidentate coordination mode in C-H functionalization technology
Expedient Iron-Catalyzed C-H Allylation/Alkylation by Triazole Assistance with Ample Scope
No full textTriazole assistance set the stage for a unified strategy for the iron-catalyzed C-H allylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and alkenes with ample scope. The versatile catalyst also proved competent for site-selective methylation, benzylation, and alkylation with challenging primary and secondary halides. Triazole-assisted C-H activation proceeded chemo-, site-, and diastereo-selectively, and the modular TAM directing group was readily removed in a traceless fashion under exceedingly mild reaction conditionsTriazole assistance set the stage for a unified strategy for the iron-catalyzed C-H allylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and alkenes with ample scope.

Iron-Catalyzed C-H Alkynylation through Triazole Assistance: Expedient Access to Bioactive Heterocycles
No full textTriazole assistance enabled the first iron-catalyzed C−H alkynylation of arenes, heteroarenes, and alkenes. The modular TAM directing group set the stage for a sequential C−H alkynylation/annulation strategy with ample scope, enabling the iron-catalyzed assembly of isoquinolones, pyridones, pyrrolones, and isoindolinones with high levels of chemo-, site-, and regioselectivity
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
