Various isomers of the trigonal dianion metal clusters, X(3)(2-), X = Be, Mg, Ca, and their mono- and disodium complexes are optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level. Different conceptual density functional theory based reactivity descriptors as well as the induced magnetic field values are calculated to understand the stability and aromaticity of these systems. Possibility of bond stretch isomerism is explored. Genetic algorithm results lend additional insights into the structures of these isomers.

Semilocal and random phase approximation (RPA) density functional theory (DFT) and complete active space (CASSCF + NEVPT2) methodologies were applied to investigate a new class of extended metal atom chain (EMAC) complexes. A novel triferrous complex has been synthesized recently that does not utilize the usual 2,2'-dipyridylamine (dpa) ligand framework, which essentially always results in a tetragonal coordination environment and general formula M(dpa)X, where X is an anion. Instead, the triferrous complex utilizes a dianionic, 2,6-bis(trimethylsilylamido)pyridine ligand (L) resulting in the formation of trigonal complexes with general formula .

Article Synopsis
- Diorganotin complexes with various compositions were synthesized by reacting organotin oxides with a specific ligand in toluene, and a mono-n-butyltin complex was prepared using acetonitrile.
- These complexes were characterized through techniques like FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, revealing their coordinated structures and forms.
- The antitumor activities of the first five complexes were tested on T-47D breast cancer cells, with compound 3 showing the highest effectiveness and potential for selective toxicity, positioning it as a promising candidate for breast cancer treatment.

In the crystal structure of 1, the Cd ion is six-coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms from four symmetry-related L dianions and two coordinated water molecules, furnishing an octahedral coordination geometry. The bridging L dianion links four symmetry-related Cd cations into a 2D layer-like structure with a 3,4-connected bex topology.

NNN-Bis(imino) pyridine-based pincer-Fe(II) complexes with an expected trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) geometry equilibrated to a rearranged ion pair of an octahedral dicationic Fe complex containing two bis(imino)pyridine ligands that are neutralized by a tetrahedral dianionic-[FeCl]. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), and UV-visible (UV-vis) studies suggested that the equilibrium was dictated by the sterics of the R group on the imine N, with the less-crowded groups tilting the equilibrium to the ion pair and the bulky ones favoring the TBP geometry. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and Evan's magnetic moment measurements indicated that the complexes were paramagnetic with Fe(II) in a high-spin state.
