The trinuclear complexes [(L'-'")2RuII)3(mu3-L)](ClO4)3, [1] (ClO4)3-[3](ClO4)3 (L = trianionic form of 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trithiol; N(p)C(5)H(4)N=N(a)-C6H4(R), R = H (L'), m-Me (L"), p-Me (L'")) and the analogous mononuclear complex [(L')2RuII(NC5H4S-)]ClO4 [4] ClO4 were synthesized. Crystal structures of [1](ClO4)3 and [4]ClO4 were determined. [1](3+)-[3](3+) exhibit three successive oxidative couples corresponding to Ru(II)Ru(II)Ru(III)<==>Ru(II)Ru(II)Ru(II); Ru(II)Ru(III)Ru(III)<==>Ru(II)Ru(II)Ru(III); Ru(III)Ru(III)Ru(III)<==>Ru(II)Ru(III)Ru(III) where the mixed valent states are moderately coupled. The complexes display multiple reductions associated with the azo functions of the ancillary ligands (L'-'"). The energy of the Ru(II)-based lowest energy MLCT transitions (533-558 nm) involving the pi* level of azoimine chromophore of L'-'" varies depending on the nuclearity as well as substituents in the ligand framework and follows the order: [1](3+) > [2](3+) > [3](3+) > [4](+). The complexes exhibit reasonably high third-order non-linear optical properties with gamma= (0.90-2.45) [times] 10(-29) esu. The interactions of the trinuclear complexes [((L')2RuII)3(mu3-L)]3+[1]3+, [((bpy)2RuII)3((mu3-L)]3+[5]3+ and [((phen)2RuII)3((mu3)-L)]3+[6]3+(bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) with the circular and linear forms of p-Bluescript DNA show reduced ethidium bromide fluorescence on gel electrophoresis.

The term ligand isomerism stands for two or more isomeric coordination complexes having regioisomeric ligands coordinated around the metal center. Single-cavity discrete coordination cages (SCDCCs) and multi-cavity discrete coordination cages (MCDCCs) are exotic class of self-assembled complexes that should be suitable for exploration of ligand isomerism. This work describes rare varieties of double-cavity tetranuclear, triple-cavity pentanuclear and quadruple-cavity hexanuclear MCDCCs to exemplify ligand isomerism.

The emergence of visible-light photocatalytic frameworks provides a sustainable technology for dealing with CO2 greenhouse gas. Herein, the solvothermal reaction of copper(I) cyclic trinuclear complex (Cu-CTC) with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (2,5-DHTA) or 3,3'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarbaldehyde (3,3'-DHBDA) led to two crystalline hcb topological copper(I)-organic frameworks USTB-48 and USTB-49, respectively. The post-cobaltization of 2-(benzylideneamino)phenol units in these two frameworks, providing the active catalytic centers in obtained USTB-48(Co) and USTB-49(Co) for photocatalysis of CO2 reduction.

Research involving coordination chemistry with Schiff base hydrazones finds applications in various areas, particularly in bioinorganic chemistry and biomedicine. This work aims to contribute to this field by employing the ligand (E)-2-((2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)hydrazone)methyl)phenol (HL), synthesized via a condensation reaction with salicylic aldehyde. The ligand was isolated, characterized, and subsequently complexed with nickel(II) chloride and copper(II) nitrate, yielding three new crystalline complexes: [Ni(HL)] (), [Ni(L)(Py)(EtOH)]·DMF·0.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are a class of organic molecules containing a divalent carbon atom, known as a carbene, within a heterocyclic (ring) structure where nitrogen atoms (N) form part of the ring. These molecules have garnered significant attention in coordination chemistry due to their unique bonding properties, particularly as strong σ-donor ligands that facilitate the formation of stable complexes. A theoretical study was conducted to investigate the structural and bonding characteristics of M←C bonds in trinuclear, nano-sized Cu(i), Ag(i), and Au(i) cations with two tris-NHC ligands, which exhibit promising anti-cancer and antibacterial potential.
