The organochalcogen ligands derived from 3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione/selone groups, Mbit, Mbis, Ebit and Ebis [Mbit = 1,1'-methylenebis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione); Mbis = 1,1'-methylenebis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-selone), Ebit = 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione), Ebis = 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-selone)] have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of [Cp*Ir(micro-Cl)Cl]2 and [Cp*Rh(micro-Cl)Cl]2 (Cp* = eta5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with Mbit, Mbis, Ebit and Ebis result in the formation of the complexes [Cp*Ir(Mbit)Cl]Cl 1a x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Mbis)Cl]Cl (3a x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Ebit)Cl]Cl (1b x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Ebis)Cl]Cl (2a x Cl), [Cp*Rh(Mbit)Cl]Cl (2b x Cl), Cp*Rh(Mbis)Cl][Cp*RhCl(3)] (3b x[Cp*RhCl(3)]), [Cp*Rh(Ebit)Cl]Cl (4a x Cl) and [Cp*Rh(Ebis)Cl]Cl (4b x Cl), respectively. All compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectra. The molecular structures of 1b, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4a have been determined by X-ray crystallography. After activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO), the iridium complexes exhibit moderate activities for the vinyl polymerization of norbornene.

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) is an extremely useful reaction in organic syntheses. During the last two decades, many researchers across the world have employed organochalcogen compounds in various ways for the development of catalytic systems for this reaction. Chalcogen-ligated molecular complexes have been designed using such compounds as ligands, and applied as homogeneous catalytic systems.

Two new Cu(II) complexes based on 4-(arylchalcogenyl)-1H-pyrazoles monodentate bis(ligand) containing selenium or sulfur groups (2a and 2b) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and by X-ray crystallography. In the effort to propose new applications for the biomedical area, we evaluated the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of the newly synthesized complexes. The antioxidant activity of the Cu(II) complexes (2a - 2b) were assessed through their ability to inhibit the formation of reactive species (RS) induced by sodium azide and to scavenge the synthetic radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS).

ISC Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, School of Chemical Sciences and Pharmacy, Central University of Rajasthan, NH-8, Bandarsindri, Ajmer, Rajasthan, 305817, India.

This report describes the synthesis of two ruthenium(II) ENE pincer complexes (E = S, C1 and E = Se, C2) by the reaction of bis(2-(phenylchalcogenyl)ethyl)amine (L1, L2) with RuCl (PPh ) . The complexes were characterized with the help of H and C{ H} NMR, FTIR, HRMS, cyclic voltammetry and elemental analysis techniques. The structure and bonding mode of ligand with ruthenium in C2 was established with the help of single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Structurally variable organochalcogen clusters containing palladium(II) and nickel(II) ions were assembled starting from the salicylidene-substituted dichalcogenides (Y-CH-N═CH-CH-OH) ({HL}, where Y = Se or Te), and palladium or nickel acetate. The tetrameric palladium clusters contain reduced chalcogenolato ligands {Y-CH-N═CH-CH-O)} ({L'}, where Y = Se or Te), while the initially formed trimeric nickel clusters contain the intact, coordinated dichalcogenides. The palladium clusters have a general formula of [Pd(L')] and represent the first examples of palladium complexes where both a gyrobifastigial and a pseudocubane arrangement of the central PdY unit could be established with the same ligand, only depending on the solvents used for crystallization.
