The new sterically encumbered facially coordinating N(3)-donor ligand cis,cis-1,3,5-tris(mesitylideneimino)cyclohexane (L1) has been synthesised. Reaction with [Cu(NCCH(3))(4)]PF(6) gives [Cu(L1)NCCH(3)]PF(6) (1), the bound acetonitrile being labile and readily replaced by CO to yield [Cu(L1)CO]PF(6) (2); both 1 and 2 have been structurally characterised. Complexes 1 and 2 do not undergo a substitution reaction with ethylene. This is in contrast to the related bidentate ligand complexes [Cu(L2)NCCH(3)]BF(4) (3) or [Cu(L2)CO]BF(4) (4) (L2= 1,2-bis(mesitylideneamino)cyclohexane) which rapidly form the ethylene complex under the same conditions.

Planar chirality found tremendous use in many fields, such as chemistry, optics, and materials science. In particular, planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophanes (PCPs) are a type of structurally interesting and practically useful chiral compounds bearing unique electronic and photophysical properties and thus have been widely used in π-stacking polymers, organic luminescent materials, and as a valuable toolbox for developing chiral ligands or organocatalysts.

Binuclear silver(I) and copper(I) complexes, and , with bridging diphenylphosphine ligands were prepared. In , the silver(I) center is located inside a trigonal plane composed of three phosphorus donors from three separate and bridging dppm ligands. The fourth coordination site is filled with neighboring silver(I) ions.

Copper(I) complexes of isobutyl- () and isopropyl-substituted () proazaphosphatranes have been synthesized. Structural and computational studies of a series of monomeric complexes CuX (X = Cl, Br, I) and dimeric [CuCl] provide insight into the transannulation within and steric properties of the proazaphosphatrane ligand. These halide complexes are competent precatalysts in a model borylation reaction, and the silylamido complex CuN(TMS) catalyzes hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde under mild conditions.

The use of visible light to drive chemical transformations has a history spanning over a century. However, the development of photo-redox catalysts to efficiently harness light energy is a more recent advancement, evolving over the past two decades. While ruthenium and iridium-based photocatalysts dominate due to their photostability, long excited-state lifetimes, and high redox potentials, concerns about sustainability and cost have shifted attention to first-row transition metals.

Pyridine-2-yl-sulfonyl-quinolin-8-yl-amide (psq) has produced the first sulfonamidato-bridged dicopper(I) complex, {Cu[κ-(μ-κ:κ-psq)]} containing the rhombic Cu(I)N core. The single crystal X-ray structure of this complex shows that two anionic psq ligands straddle the metal atoms via bridging sulfonamide N atoms to give a Cu···Cu distance of 2.9593(8) Å.
