This manuscript describes the synthesis of a triazolyl-pyridine-based phosphine, -((diphenylphosphaneyl)methyl)--methyl-6-(1-phenyl-1-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridin-2-amine, [2,6-{(PPh)CHN(Me)(CHN)(CHNCH)}] (1) (here onwards referred to as PNN) and its cationic and neutral Mn complexes and catalytic applications. The reaction of 1 with Mn(CO)Br afforded a cationic complex [Mn(CO)(PNN)]Br (2), which is highly stable in solid state, but in solution it gradually loses one of the CO groups to form a neutral complex [Mn(CO)(PNN)Br] (3). Complex 2 on treatment with AgBF also yielded a cationic complex [Mn(CO)(PNN)]BF (4).

Recent success in the synthesis of π-conjugated heavier pnictogen (As, Sb, and Bi) compounds and their transition metal complexes has led to the current surge in interest that led to significant development in the field of photophysical and optoelectronic properties of heavier pnictogens and their transition metal complexes. The presence of heavier pnictogens (As, Sb and Bi) in the molecular skeleton promotes inter-system crossing (ISC) and reverse inter-system crossing (RISC), because of the heavy atom effect, via altering the intermolecular interactions and orbital energy levels. As a result, π-conjugated heavier pnictogen compounds such as arsines, dibenzoarsepins, arsinoquinoline, heterofluorene, benzo[b]heterole (heterole=arsole, bismole, and stibole) show unique optoelectronic properties such as narrow bandgap, low-energy absorption, and long-wavelength emission than lighter pnictogen-based compounds.

2,2'-Bipyridine based bisphosphine [CHN{N(H)CHPPh}] (1) and its bischalcogenide derivatives [CHN{N(H)CHP(E)Ph}] (2, E = O; 3, E = S; 4, E = Se) were synthesized, and further reacted with BF·EtO/EtN to form doubly B ← N fused compounds [CHN(BF){NCHP(E)Ph}] (5, E = O; 6, E = S; 7, E = Se) in excellent yields. The influence of the PE bonds on the electronic properties of the doubly B ← N fused systems and their structural features were investigated in detail, supported by extensive experimental and computational studies. Compound 6 exhibited a very high quantum yield of = 0.

This manuscript describes the syntheses of pyridine appended triazole-based mono- and bisphosphines, [-PhP(CH){1,2,3-NC(Py)C(H)}] (2), [-Br(CH){1,2,3-NC(Py)C(PPh)}] (3), [CH{1,2,3-NC(Py)C(PPh)}] (4), [PhP(CH){1,2,3-NC(Py)C(PPh)}] (5) and [3-PhP-2-{1,2,3-NC(Ph)C(PPh)}CHN] (6), their palladium and platinum chemistry and catalytic applications. These ligands upon treatment with [M(COD)Cl] (M = Pd or Pt) yielded complexes with different coordination modes, depending on the reaction conditions. Both κ-, and κ-, coordination modes were observed in many of the complexes indicating the ambidentate nature of these ligands.

The novel hemilabile ferrocenylbisphosphane 1,1'-bis(bis{2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}phosphanyl)ferrocene, [Fe{CHP(CHCHNMe-o)}] (1), was synthesized by reacting bis(dichlorophosphanyl)ferrocene, [Fe{CH(PCl)}] with LiCHCHNMe-o. Treatment of 1 with gray selenium and anhydrous ZnCl yielded, respectively, the bisselenide (ferrocene-1,1'-diyl)bis(bis{2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}phosphine selenide), [Fe(CHNPSe)] (2), and the dizinc complex [μ-1,1'-bis(bis{2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}phosphanyl)ferrocene-κN,P:κN',P']bis[dichloridozinc(II)] dichloromethane monosolvate, [FeZnCl(CHNP)]·CHCl (3), and both have been structurally characterized. Both compounds crystallized with the asymmetric unit containing half a molecule and with the Fe atom on an inversion centre.

In this article, the synthesis, structural studies, and luminescence properties of Cu, Ag, and Au complexes of pyrimidine-based phosphine [CHN-2-NH(CHPPh)] () are described. The reactions of with CuX led to the isolation of one-dimensional (1D) chain, tetranuclear ladder, or cyclic derivatives. The structural features of these complexes are greatly influenced by the metal-to-ligand ratio, reaction conditions, and CuX (X = Cl, Br or I) employed.
