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...

Palladation of N3-alkylated 1,2,3-triazolium salts with Pd(OAc)₂ afforded a μ²−I₂ bridged bimetallic complex [Pd(trz)I₂]₂ and monometallic bis(carbene) complexes Pd(trz)₂I₂ as a mixture of trans and cis isomers (trz = 1,2,3-triazol-5- ylidene). Addition of excess halide or modification of the palladation procedure from direct functionalization to a transmetalation...

The stereoselective synthesis of a highly luminescent neutral Ir(III) complex comprising two bidentate chiral, cyclometalating phenylpyridine derivatives, and one acetylacetonate as ligands is described. The final complex and some intermediates were characterized by X-ray structural analysis, NMR-, CD-, and CPL-spectroscopy.

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...

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 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...

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,...

Two diastereoisomers of tetranuclear cyclometallated iridium complexes, either having an inner core of HEXOL-type [Ir(IrCl₂)₃]⁶⁺ unit and a surface of six chiral, didentate, cyclometallated ligands, are stereoselectively synthesized from an enantiopure pinenopyridine derivative.
