The redox reaction of [Yb(C(9)H(7))(2)(thf)(2)] with the diazabutadiene PhN==C(Me)--C(Me)==NPh (DAD) has been found to depend on the molar ratio of the reactants. Reaction in a 1:2 molar ratio affords the dinuclear mixed-valent complex [Yb(2)(mu-eta(5):eta(4)-C(9)H(7))(eta(5)-C(9)H(7))(2){mu-eta(4):eta(4)-PhNC(Me)==C(Me)NPh}] containing an indenyl ligand with an unusual mu-eta(5):eta(4) bridging coordination. Reaction of equimolar amounts of these compounds results in an organolanthanide-mediated reductive coupling of the DAD ligands and formation of the tetranuclear mixed-valent complex [Yb(2)(mu-eta(5):eta(4)-C(9)H(7))(eta(5)-C(9)H(7))(2){mu-eta(4):eta(4)-PhNC(CH(2))==C(Me)NPh}](2) with a novel tetradentate tetraimine ligand.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating new Pd(II)-indenyl complexes using different types of NHC ligands, highlighting the methods used for their synthesis and the specific reactions involved.
- Characterization techniques like NMR, HRMS, and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze these complexes, which were then tested for their effectiveness against ovarian cancer cell lines.
- Results indicated that some complexes were highly cytotoxic with a preference for cancer cells, with specific ligands causing mitochondrial and DNA damage, suggesting the potential for further research in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

The synthesis of group IV metallocene precatalysts for the polymerization of propylene generally yields two different isomers: The racemic isomer that produces isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and the meso isomer that produces atactic polypropylene (aPP). Due to its poor physical properties, aPP has very limited applications. To avoid obtaining blends of both polymers and thus diminish the mechanical and thermal properties of iPP, the meso metallocene complexes need to be separated from the racemic ones tediously-rendering the metallocene-based polymerization of propylene industrially far less attractive than the Ziegler/Natta process.

Development of chiral indenyl ligands for asymmetric C-H activation is a longstanding challenge, and extremely few successes have been achieved. In this paper, we describe a class of readily accessible, facilely tunable and user-friendly chiral indenyl ligands featuring a [2.2]benzoindenophane skeleton via a divergent synthesis strategy.

A set of metallocene olefin polymerization catalysts bearing triptycene moieties in either position 4-5 (complexes Ty1-Ty5) or in position 5-6 (complexes Ty6-Ty8) of the basic dimethylsilyl-bridged bis(indenyl) system has been tested in propene polymerization and in ethene/1-hexene copolymerization. Comparison of the results with QSPR (quantitative structure-property relationship) predictions not parametrized for these exotic ligand variations demonstrates that trends can still be identified by extrapolation. Interestingly, Ty7, upon suitable activation, provides a highly isotactic polypropylene with an exceptional amount of 2,1 regio-errors (8%).

The preparation of dizirconium complexes based on a novel bis(indenyl)-(/)-stilbene platform was explored. Negishi coupling between the -generated diorganozincates obtained from the respective //-(/)-dibromostilbenes and the bromo-functionalized zirconocene (η-Cp*)(η-2-methyl-4-bromoindenyl)ZrCl, or, alternatively, the preparation of bis(indene)stilbene pro-ligands {//-(/)-BisIndSB}H through Negishi coupling of the corresponding dibromostilbenes with 4-bromoindene and subsequent metallation/transmetallation with Cp*ZrCl or Zr(NMe), allowed the preparation of a series of dinuclear complexes. These were analyzed by NMR spectroscopy and some of them by iASAP-mass spectrometry and by X-ray diffraction studies.
