Reaction of the new asymmetric ligand 2-(N-isopropyl-N-((1-methylimidazolyl)methyl)aminomethyl)-6-(N-carboxylmethyl-N-((1-methylimidazolyl)methyl) aminomethyl)-4-methylphenol (ICIMP) with nickel perchlorate and diphenylacetic acid leads to the formation of tetranuclear nickel complexes, whose crystal structures reveal that they consist of dimers of dimers in which each Ni(2) unit has a coordination environment that is similar to the active site of urease. One complex has been shown to coordinate urea and catalyze the hydrolysis of an organophosphate monoester.

The well-known inhibitory strength of 3d metal Schiff base complexes against urease enzymes has long been acknowledged, but their untapped potential to act as ureolytic mimics of active metallobiosites remained unexplored. To break the new ground, we present pyrrolidine-based mononuclear Ni(II)-azide complex {[NiL(HL)(N)]·1.5(HO)} using the N,N,O donor ligand, namely ()-4-bromo-2-(((2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol.

Novel palladium and nickel-sulfur clusters were synthesized using a diamidocarbene-derived carbon disulfide ligand. Structural characterization revealed a tetranuclear metal-sulfur cluster geometry with each metal center exhibiting square-planar coordination. The ligand was redox-active, accommodating oxidation states ranging from 0 to -2.

The electrochemical oxidation of anodic metals (M = nickel and palladium) in an acetonitrile solution of the thiosemicarbazone ligands ()-2-(1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene)-N-methylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide (a), ()-2-(1-(p-tolyl)ethylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (b), and ()-N-phenyl-2-(1-(p-tolyl)ethylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (c) yielded the homoleptic complexes [ML], , , , and and [ML], as air-stable solids. The crystal structures for , , , and show the ligands in a transoid disposition with the [S,S] and [N,N] donor atom pairs occupying positions on the nearly square planar coordination plane of the metal. The structure for of S4 symmetry comprises a tetranuclear palladacycle where the metalated ligands are arranged around a central PdS environment: a crown ring with alternating palladium and sulfur atoms.

Tetranuclear cores (M-E) of transition metals (M) and tetrylenes (E=Si, Ge, Sn) are key motifs in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. They exhibit a continuum of M-M and E-E bonding within the inorganic core that leads to a variety of structures for which there are no specific synthetic methods. Herein, we report a series of highly reduced [NiGe] squares solely stabilized by bulky terphenyl (CH-2,6-Ar) ligands, for which we provide complementary and high-yielding syntheses.

Acetylene (CH) is widely used as a raw material for producing various downstream commodities in the petrochemical and electronic industry. Therefore, the acquisition of high-purity CH from a CH/CO mixture produced by partial methane combustion or thermal hydrocarbon cracking is of great significance yet highly challenging due to their similar physical and chemical properties. Herein, we report an anionic metal-organic framework (MOF) named LIFM-210, which has Li cations in the pores and shows a higher adsorption affinity for CH than CO.
