Steric factors govern the formation of half-sandwich complexes (C5Me4R)Ln[N(SiHMe2)2]2 according to acid-base reactions utilising Ln[N(SiHMe2)2)3(thf)2 and substituted cyclopentadienes. Subsequent trimethylaluminium-promoted silylamide elimination produces the first half-sandwich bis(tetramethylaluminate) complexes (C5Me4R)Ln(AlMe4)2.

Heterobimetallic complexes of an ambidentate deferiprone derivative, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-(3-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)propyl)pyridin-4(1H)-one (PyPropHpH), incorporating an octahedral [Co(4N)] (4N = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) or tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa)) and a half-sandwich type [(η--cym)Ru] (-cym = -cymene) entity have been synthesized and characterized by various analytical techniques. The reaction between PyPropHpH and [Co(4N)Cl]Cl resulted in the exclusive (O,O) coordination of the ligand to Co(III) yielding [Co(tren)PyPropHp](PF) () and [Co(tpa)PyPropHp](PF) (). This binding mode was further supported by the molecular structure of [Co(tpa)PyPropHp](ClO)(OH)·6HO () and [Co(tren)PyPropHpH]Cl(PF)·2HO·CHOH (), respectively, obtained via the slow evaporation of the appropriate reaction mixtures and analyzed using X-ray crystallography.

Article Synopsis
- Control of individual atomic spins is essential for advancements in spintronics, quantum sensing, and quantum information processing, with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) being a effective tool for manipulation.
- The research presents a new method for self-assembling magnetic organometallic complexes using iron atoms and specific molecules (Cu(dbm) and FePc) on a silver substrate, effectively forming complexes that mimic metallocenes.
- Magnetic properties of these complexes show a notable Kondo effect, which is explained through density functional theory calculations indicating that the interaction between Fe 3d-orbitals and benzene π-orbitals enhances Kondo screening, offering insights for designing hybrid organometallic systems.

Anilido-oxazoline-ligated iron complexes, including bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron(II), mononuclear iron(II) alkyl and aryloxide, as well as the dinuclear analogues, were synthesized, and their catalytic performance on ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has been studied. Transmetalation of FeCl(THF) with in situ-generated anilido-oxazolinate lithium afforded the bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron complexes and . Half-sandwich anilido-oxazolinate iron trimethylsilylalkyl complexes and could be synthesized in good yields via taking pyridine as an L-type ligand.

Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and is recognized as the most aggressive tumor of the digestive system. Aberrant activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is associated with proliferation, metastasis and immunosuppression of the tumor cells. Here, to inhibit the STAT3 pathway and suppress metastasis in colon cancer cells, the half-sandwich iridium complex Ir-ART containing an artesunate-derived ligand was synthesized.

The aromatic boron cluster B () has similar π bonding to CH, which is named "borozene". The B ligand has been observed to stabilize monovalent Ln(+I) in -LnB (Ln = La, Pr, Tb, Tm, and Yb) borozene complexes. Low-valency actinide complexes have been reported more rarely, and B may be one of the potential ligands.
