The effects of diphosphine flexibility and bite angle on the structures and luminescence properties of Au(I) complexes have been investigated. A range of diphosphines based on heteroaromatic backbones [bis(2-diphenylphosphino)phenylether (dpephos), 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (xantphos), and 4,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)dibenzofuran (dbfphos)] has been used to prepare mono- and digold derivatives. A clear relationship between the presence of aurophilic contacts and the emission properties of dinuclear complexes has been observed, with one of the complexes studied, [Au(2)Cl(2)(micro-xantphos)], exhibiting luminescence thermochromism.

CO Reduction at a Borane-Modified Iron Complex: A Secondary Coordination Sphere Strategy.

This work addresses fundamental questions that deepen our understanding of secondary coordination sphere effects on carbon dioxide (CO) reduction using derivatized hydride analogues of the type, [Cp*Fe(diphosphine)H] (Cp* = CMe ) - a well-studied family of organometallic complex - as models. More precisely, we describe the general reactivity of [(Cp*-BR)Fe(diphosphine)H], which contains an intramolecularly positioned Lewis acid, and its cooperative reactivity with CO. Control experiments underscore the critical nature of borane incorporation for transforming CO to reduced products, a reaction that does not occur for unfunctionalized [Cp*Fe(diphosphine)H].

Heterogeneous catalysts for parahydrogen-induced polarization (HET-PHIP) would be useful for producing highly sensitive contrasting agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the liquid phase, as they can be removed by simple filtration. Although homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts are highly efficient for PHIP, their sensitivity decreases when anchored on porous supports due to slow substrate diffusion to the active sites and rapid depolarization within the channels. To address this challenge, we explored 2D metal-organic layers (MOLs) as supports for active Rh complexes with diverse phosphine ligands and tunable hydrogenation activities, taking advantage of the accessible active sites and chemical adaptability of the MOLs.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

Electrochemical water oxidation holds immense potential for sustainable energy generation, splitting water into clean-burning hydrogen and life-giving oxygen. However, a key roadblock lies in the sluggish nature of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Finding stable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly catalysts with high OER efficiency is crucial to unlock this technology's full potential.

We have synthesized and characterized a novel series of ruthenium complexes with formulas [RuCl(N-S)(dppm)]PF (Ru1), [Ru(N-S)(dppm)]PF (Ru2), [Ru(N-S)(dppe)]PF (Ru3), [Ru(N-S)(dppen)]PF (Ru4), [Ru(N-S)(bpy)]PF (Ru5). In these formulas, N-S or S represents H2mq (2-mercapto-4(3)-quinazoline); dppe (1,2'-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane), dppm (1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphine)methane), or dppen (1,2'-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethene); and bpy refers to 2,2'-bipyridine. We have also compared the cytotoxicity of cisplatin with these ruthenium complexes to murine melanoma cells (B16-F10), human melanoma cells (A-375), and the non-tumoral human keratinocyte cell line (HaCat).
