A new promising binuclear tetranitrosyl iron complex with 2-methoxythiophenolyl of the composition [Fe(CHOS)(NO)] (complex 1), which acts on the therapeutic targets of cardiovascular diseases, guanylate and adenylate cyclase, has been synthesized. X-ray diffraction data show the presence of two isoforms of complex 1; according to quantum chemical calculations, the structure of only the trans isomer is stable in solutions. The processes of transformation of complex 1 in DMSO, in aqueous solutions, as well as in the presence of bovine serum albumin, reduced glutathione, and mucin were studied.

The iron(III) anionic complex based on a pyruvic acid thiosemicarbazone ligand with the lithium cation Li[Fe(thpy)]·3HO (1) has been synthesized and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, direct current magnetic susceptibility measurements, and Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Moreover, the molecular structure of the [Fe(thpy)] anion has been determined for the first time. The [Fe(thpy)] units in the triclinic 1̄ lattice of 1 are assembled into layers parallel to the plane.

As materials science is moving towards the synthesis, the study and the processing of new materials exhibiting well-defined and complex functions, the synthesis of new multifunctional materials is one of the important challenges. One of these complex physical properties is magneto-chiral dichroism which arises, at second order, from the coexistence of spatial asymmetry and magnetization in a material. Herein we report the first measurement of strong magneto-chiral dichroism in an enantiopure chiral ferromagnet.

A pair of enantiomerically pure quaternary ammonium salts with a chiral side chain, methyl-(R)-(1-methylpropyl)di(n-propyl)ammonium iodide 1 and methyl-(S)-(1-methylpropyl)di(n-propyl)ammonium iodide 2, and the related racemate, methyl-(rac)-(1-methylpropyl)di(n-propyl)ammonium iodide 3, were synthesized through a reductive alkylation procedure, starting from enantiomerically pure and, also, racemic forms of (rac)-(1-methylpropyl)amine. A spectroscopic chiroptical signature in solution was provided by the Raman optical activity spectra of compounds 1 and 2. The crystallographic structures of 1, 2, and 3 were examined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

A series of two-dimensional (2D) oxalate-based compounds, namely [N(n-C4H9)4][M(II)Cr(III)(ox)3] (M(II) = Mn, Fe; ox = C2O4(2-)) and [N(C2H5)(n-C3H7)(n-C4H9)(n-C5H11)][M(II)M(III)(ox)(3)] ((M(II), M(III)) =(Mn, Cr), (Fe, Cr), (Mn, Fe)) were synthesised starting from racemic tris(oxalato)metalate: rac-[M(III)(ox)3]3- (M(III) = Cr, Fe). For Cr(III), the synthesis has been undertaken starting from resolved (Delta)- or (Lambda)-[Cr(III)(ox)3]3-. The natural circular dichroism measurements assess the enantioselectivity of the synthesis.
