The synthesis and photophysical evaluation of two enatiomerially pure dimetallic lanthanide luminescent triple-stranded helicates is described. The two systems, formed from the chiral (R,R) ligand 1 and (S,S) ligand 2, were produced as single species in solution, where the excitation of either the naphthalene antennae or the pyridiyl units gave rise to Eu(III) emission in a variety of solvents. Excitation of the antennae also gave rise to circularly polarized Eu(III) luminescence emissions for Eu(2):1(3) and Eu(2):2(3) that were of equal intensity and opposite sign, confirming their enantiomeric nature in solution providing a basis upon which we were able to assign the absolute configurations of Eu(2):1(3) and Eu(2):2(3).

Alkynyl-B(aam) (aam=anthranilamidato) derivatives are readily available bench-stable compounds that undergo remarkably selective reactions with Bu SnH in the presence of [Cp*RuCl] as the catalyst. The addition follows a stereochemically unorthodox trans-selective course; in terms of regioselectivity, the Bu Sn- unit is delivered with high fidelity to the C-atom of the triple bond adjacent to the boracyclic head group ("alpha,trans-addition"). This outcome is deemed to reflect a hydrogen bonding interaction between the protic -NH groups of the benzo-1,3,2-diazaborininone ring system and the polarized [Ru-Cl] bond in the loaded catalyst, which locks the substrate in place in a favorable orientation relative to the incoming reagent.

Ditopic helicate ligands and were synthesized for the formation of dinuclear Eu luminescent chiral helical assemblies (Eu·L) in competitive organic and protic solvent media. Spectroscopic analysis revealed formation of the 2:3 (Eu·L) and 2:2 (Eu·L) species in methanolic solutions. Circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy confirmed the chiral purity of the helical systems, while scanning electron microscopy imaging demonstrated the formation of hierarchical self-assemblies with spherical morphologies.

Magnetic exchange interactions within the asymmetric dimetallic compounds [hqH][Ln(hq)(NO)]·MeOH, (Ln = Er(III) and Yb(III), hqH = 8-hydroxyquinoline) have been directly probed with EPR spectroscopy and accurately modeled by spin Hamiltonian techniques. Exploitation of site selectivity via doping experiments in Y(III) and Lu(III) matrices yields simple EPR spectra corresponding to isolated Kramers doublets, allowing determination of the local magnetic properties of the individual sites within the dimetallic compounds. CASSCF-SO calculations and INS and far-IR measurements are all employed to further support the identification and modeling of the local electronic structure for each site.

A novel unsymmetric dinucleating ligand (L(N3N4)) combining a tridentate and a tetradentate binding sites linked through a m-xylyl spacer was synthesized as ligand scaffold for preparing homo- and dimetallic complexes, where the two metal ions are bound in two different coordination environments. Site-selective binding of different metal ions is demonstrated. L(N3N4) is able to discriminate between Cu(I) and a complementary metal (M' = Cu(I), Zn(II), Fe(II), Cu(II), or Ga(III)) so that pure heterodimetallic complexes with a general formula [Cu(I)M'(L(N3N4))](n+) are synthesized.

Although all the pure-carbon fullerene isomers above C60 reported to date comply with the isolated pentagon rule (IPR), non-IPR structures, which are expected to have different properties from those of IPR species, are obtainable either by exohedral modification or by endohedral atom doping. This report describes the isolation and characterization of a new endohedral metallofullerene (EMF), La2@C76, which has a non-IPR fullerene cage. The X-ray crystallographic result for the La2@C76/[Ni(II)(OEP)] (OEP=octaethylporphyrin) cocrystal unambiguously elucidated the C(s)(17,490)-C76 cage structure, which contains two adjacent pentagon pairs.
