Drug repositioning is a faster and more affordable solution than traditional drug discovery approaches. From this perspective, computational drug repositioning using knowledge graphs is a very promising direction. Knowledge graphs constructed from drug data and information can be used to generate hypotheses (molecule/drug - target links) through link prediction using machine learning algorithms.

The tandem Lewis basic Ir and Lewis acidic P of achieve a two-site oxidative addition of phenol giving the iridaphenoxyphosphorane species IrHCl(PPh)() (). In contrast, reactions of with benzenethiol and benzeneselenol do not engage and instead proceed via metal-centered oxidative addition of the chalcogen-hydrogen bond.

Reduction of the neutral Re(i) species gives the monoanionic complex [Re(CO)3(CNArDipp2)2]- or the neutral [Re(CO)3(CNArDipp2)2], which contain rhenium in the formal oxidation states "-1" and "0", respectively.

Unlike CO, which is a stable molecule at room temperature and readily serves as both a bridging and terminal ligand to transition metals, BF is unstable below 1800°C in the gas phase, and its coordination chemistry is substantially limited. Here, we report the isolation of the iron complex Fe(BF)(CO)(CNAr) [Ar, 2,6-(2,4,6-(Pr)CH]CH; -Pr, -propyl], featuring a terminal BF ligand.
