The Lewis acidic pincer with a labile triflate ligand, viz. [Pd(OTf)(PCP)] (PCP = (-)CH(CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)) was prepared from [PdCl(PCP)] with AgOTf. It reacts readily with neutral bidentate ligands [L = 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) and 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf)] to give dinuclear PCP pincers [{Pd(PCP)}(2)(micro-L)][OTf](2) (L = 4,4'-bpy, 2; dppf,3). [PdCl(PCP)] also reacts with 4-mercaptopyridine in the presence of KOH to give a Lewis basic pincer with a free pyridine functional group [Pd(4-Spy)(PCP)]4. Its metalloligand character is exemplified by the isolation of an asymmetric dinuclear double-pincer complex [{Pd(PCP)}(2)(micro-4-Spy)][PF(6)] 6 bridged by an ambidentate pyridinethiolato ligand. Complexes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

The facile synthesis of the cationic dinuclear group 10 complexes [M(PCP)-Cl] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) by transmetallation from a simple Ga precursor is reported (PCP = 2,6-(PhP)CH). Their use for the catalysed dehydrogenation of MeNHBH shows that Ni has a higher reactivity than Pt, whereas Pd is inactive.

The catalysts [Ir(COD)(κ-,,-PCP)]BF and [Ir(COD)(κ--PCO)]BF proved to be active in the solventless dehydrogenation of formic acid. The impact of various cosolvents on the activity was evaluated, showing an outstanding improvement of the catalytic performance of [Ir(COD)(κ--PCO)]BF] in "green" organic carbonates: namely, dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and propylene carbonate (PC). The TOF value for [Ir(COD)(κ--PCO)]BF increases from 61 to 988 h upon changing from solventless conditions to a 1/1 (v/v) DMC/HCOOH mixture.

A series of dinuclear copper(I) and carbodiphosphorane (CDP) complexes using multidentate ligands CDP(Py) () and (CDP(CHPPh) () have been isolated and characterized. Detailed structural information was gained by single-crystal XRD analyses of nine representative examples. The common structural motive is the central double ylidic carbon atom with its characteristic two lone pairs involved in the binding of two geminal L-Cu(I) fragments at Cu-Cu distances in the range 2.

Coordination polymers [Cd(1,4-bpeb)(L1)] (1), [Zn2(1,4-bpeb)2(L2)2(SO42-)2] (2) and [Cd(1,4-bpeb)(L3)] (H2O) (3) (H2L1, 3-[2-(3-hydroxy-phenoxymethyl)-benzyloxy]-benzoic acid; HL2, 1H-Indazole-3-carboxylic acid; H3L3, benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid; 1,4-bpeb, 1,4-bis[2-(4-pyridyl)vinyl]benzene have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Complexes 1-3 underwent photodimerization in the solid-state to give quantitative yields of single isomeric products. The choice of carboxyl ligands L and metal center determined the arrangement of 1,4-bpeb ligands, which in turn directed the regiochemistry of the final photoproducts.

A Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF)/porous coordination polymer (PCP), (EMIM)[Zn(SIP)] (1) (SIP = 5-sulfoisophthalate, EMIM = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium), was synthesized using the ionothermal reaction. The Zn ion adopts distorted square pyramid coordination geometry with five oxygen atoms from three carboxylates and one sulfo group. One of two carboxylates in SIP serves as a μ-bridge ligand to link two Zn ions and form the dinuclear SBU, and such SBUs are connected by SIP ligands to build the three-dimensional framework with rutile (rtl) topology.
