Pyridinium salts similar to those used as ionic liquid solvents readily undergo palladation in the presence of a base, thus giving palladium-pyridylidene N-heterocyclic carbene complexes that are active catalysts for Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions.

A C₂-symmetric enantiopure 4,5-bis(pinene)-2,2′-bipyridine ligand (–)-L was used to investigate the diastereoselectivity in the formation of [ML₃]²⁺ coordination species (M = Fe(II), Ru(II), Os(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II)), and [ML₂Cl₂] (M = Ru(II), Os(II)). The X-ray structures of the [ML₃]²⁺ complexes were determined for Δ-[FeL₃](PF₆)₂,...

The enantiomerically pure chiral tris-chelating ligand (+)-(7S,10R)-L(L) comprising three 4,5-pinenobipyridine subunits connected through a mesityl spacer has been synthesized. Complexes of L with RuII and FeII have been prepared and characterised. NMR spectroscopy indicates that...

The palladation of potentially chelating bisimidazolium ligand precursors with palladium acetate gives bridging bimetallic, chelating monometallic, and homoleptic tetracarbene complexes. The coordination mode of the biscarbene ligand has been identified by spectroscopic analysis and crystallographic characterization of representative complexes, including the first example of a biscarbene A-frame...

The title compound, C₃₁H₁₈F₆S₂, is a molecular switch based on dithienylperfluorocyclopentene. The molecule possesses pseudo-C₂ symmetry and has the open form of the switch. There are a number of intramolecular C-H...F hydrogen bonds, but in the crystal structure there are no interactions between symmetry-related molecules.

The title compounds, [FeCl₂(C₁₅H₂₀N₂)₄], (I), [FeBr₂(C₁₅H₂₀N₂)₄], (II), and [FeBr₂(C₁₅H₂₀N₂)₄]·2C₄H₁₀O, (IIb), respectively, all have triclinic symmetry, with (I) and (II) being isotypic. The FeII atoms in each of the structures are located on an inversion center. They have octahedral FeX₂N₄ (X = Cl and Br,...

Two new chiral bis-bidentate, C2-symmetrical ligands belonging to the Chiragen family have been synthesised and characterised. They are designed for polynuclear self-assemblies since the two (−)-5,6-pinenebipyridines units are connected by bridges whose length and rigidity avoids the coordination of the bipyridine moieties to the same metal centre. The ligand L1 with a 1,4-dimethylene...

Main-chain organometallic polymers were synthesized from bimetallic iron(II) complexes containing a ditopic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand [(cp)(CO)LFe(NHC∼NHC)Fe(cp)(CO)L]X₂ (where NHC∼NHC represents a bridging dicarbene ligand, L = I⁻ or CO). Addition of a diimine ligand such as pyrazine or 4,4′-bipyridine, interconnected these bimetallic complexes and gave the...

A series of bimetallic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium(II) complexes were synthesized, which comprise two [RuCl₂(cymene)(NHC)] units that are interlinked via the NHC nitrogens by alkyl chains of different length. Electrochemical characterization revealed two mutually dependent oxidation processes for the complex with a methylene linker, indicating moderate intramolecular electronic...
