Two neutral and four-coordinate vanadium(V)-nitrido complexes have been prepared via the thermolysis of metastable vanadium(III)-azido precursors. All complexes have been fully characterized by multinuclear NMR, FT-IR, isotopic labeling, and, in most instances, single crystal X-ray diffraction. On the basis of activation parameters, N(2) extrusion to form the V[triple bond]N moiety is proposed to occur via an ordered and early transition state having three- or four-triazametallacycle frameworks. In addition, we demonstrate the nitrido ligand to undergo incomplete N-atom transfer to CO and CN{2,6-Me(2)-C(6)H(3)) to form the bent V-N=C=X (X = O, N{2,6-Me(2)-C(6)H(3)}) ligands with concomitant 2e(-) reduction at the vanadium center.

A series of low-coordinate cationic 3d metal(I) complexes of the general formula [IPr·M(η-tol)] is reported (M = Fe, Co, Ni; IPr = [(H)CN(Dip)C:]; Dip = 2,6-Pr-CH), employing the weakly coordinating [BAr] counter-anion. The central metal in these complexes is stabilised solely by neutral carbene ( IPr) and arene ( toluene) ligands, making them rare examples of such cationic 3d metal(I) complexes, the electronic nature of which is explored by SQUID magnetometry. The utility of these species in [IPr·M] transfer chemistry is demonstrated through the addition of a further equivalent of IPr, leading to formally two-coordinate cationic complexes, [(IPr)·M].

This work details the synthesis and characterization of low-coordinate Zn(II)-based organocations [(NHC)Zn(R)] incorporating extremely bulky NHCs [ITr] and [IAd] ([ITr] = ([ITr] = [(HCNCPh)C:]; [IAd] = [(HCNAd)C:], Ad = adamantyl)). Their structural features and particularities are thoroughly assessed as well as their air and water tolerance. Neutral ITr and IAd adducts [(ITr)Zn(R)] (1, R = Me; 2, R = Et) and [(IAd)Zn(R)] (3, R = Me; 4, R = Et) were synthesized by reaction of carbene [ITr] or [IAd] with a stoichiometric amount of [ZnR] and isolated in good yields.

Developing highly-efficient electrocatalysts for the nitrate reduction reaction (NITRR) is a persistent challenge. Here, we present the successful synthesis of 14 amorphous/low crystallinity metal nanofilms on three-dimensional carbon fibers (M-NFs/CP), including Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, In, Sn, Pb, Au, or Bi, using rapid thermal evaporation. Among these samples, our study identifies the amorphous Co nanofilm with fine agglomerated Co clusters as the optimal electrocatalyst for NITRR in a neutral medium.

Phosphinoborenium cations stabilized by -heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) were synthesized the reaction of bromo(phosphino)boranes with NHCs. Their structures were investigated by heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory calculations. They possess a planar trigonal boron center directly bonded with the pyramidal phosphanyl group (PR) and can be treated as cationic phosphinoboranes.

A new family of low-coordinate mononuclear Dy single-molecule magnets [(Trapen)Dy(L)] (Trapen = tris(2-aminobenzyl)amine; TMS = SiMe; L = THF 1, pyridine 2, ONMe3) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The five-coordinate Dy ions exhibit distorted triangular bipyramidal geometries, among the different neutral ligands L on the apex and the same Trapen ligand, making the pyramid base of the trigonal bipyramid. Magnetic data analysis reveals that 1-3 are characteristic of SMM behaviors without a dc field, accompanying an unambiguous quantum tunneling of magnetization.
