A platinum-beryllium adduct (see structure) was prepared by the reaction of [Pt(PCy(3))(2)] and BeCl(2). Treatment with methyllithium resulted in ligand substitution at the beryllium center. Both complexes were structurally characterized and display unprecedented two-center two-electron bonds between a transition metal and beryllium.

Bimetallic complexes have demonstrated a great ability to enhance the activity of monometallic systems for bond activation and catalysis. In this work, we explore the opposite approach: using a second metal to passivate the activity of another by reversible bimetallic inhibition. To do so we have synthesized a family of nine electrophilic gold complexes of formula Au(PR)(NTf) ([NTf] = [N(SOCF)]) that can act as inhibitors in the semihydrogenation of terminal and internal alkynes catalyzed by the iconic iridium Vaska complex IrCl(CO)(PPh).

Context: The interpretation of ETS-NOCV for typical covalent and dative-covalent chemical bonds is presented and compared with that for halogen bonds. Possible tuning of the strength of halogen bonding is considered, first by applying an electric field (modeled by the point charges or the electric field vector), and then by constructing a model transition-metal complex with enhanced strength of halogen bonding. For all the systems, the ETS-NOCV picture is supplemented by the analysis of the deformation in molecular electrostatic potential (ΔMEP).

In our recent work, we revisited C-H and C-C bond activation in rhodium (I) complexes of pincer ligands PCP, PCN, PCO, POCOP, and SCS. Our findings indicated that an η-CCH agostic intermediate acts as a common precursor to both C-C and C-H bond activation in these systems. We explore the electronic structure and bonding nature of these precleavage complexes using electron density and molecular orbital analyses.

Article Synopsis
- Three dinuclear zinc(II) acetate complexes were synthesized by reacting specific pyridin-2-yl benzothiazoline precursors with zinc acetate, resulting in distinct complexes that feature different coordination environments.
- The complexes displayed a unique coordination mode with Schiff base ligands, forming multiple chelate rings and various bridging acetate configurations between zinc ions.
- Structural analysis revealed that complex 4 has a different coordination geometry (halfway between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal) compared to complexes 5 and 6, which exhibit distorted square pyramidal geometries.

The N→C dative bond (DB), intramolecular chalcogen bond and π conjugation play important roles in determining the structures and properties of some molecular carbon materials and organic/polymeric photovoltaic materials. In this work, the interplay between the N→C DB, intramolecular chalcogen bond and π conjugation in the complexes formed by cyclo[18]carbon and C polyyne with 1,2,5-chalcogenadiazoles has been investigated in detail by using reliable quantum chemical calculations. This study has made four main findings.
