A novel dirhodium complex (Rh(2)(L-PheAla)(2)(OAc)(2) is reported with strong activity towards human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Its effect was not accompanied by generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) neither by activation of caspase-3.

The ever-increasing demand in chemical biology and medicinal research requires the development of new synthetic methods for the rapid construction of libraries of heterocycles from simple raw materials. In this context, the utilization of primary amines or HO as the simple - or -sources in the assembly of a heterocyclic ring skeleton is highly desirable from the viewpoint of atom- and step-economy. Herein, we describe a highly efficient three-component reaction of diazo, allylic diacetates, and commercially available anilines (or HO) to access structurally diverse pyrrolidine and tetrahydrofuran derivatives.

A new series of metal-organic nanotubes was constructed through one-dimensional assembly using molecular triangles or molecular squares composed of paddlewheel dirhodium complexes and bidentate axial ligands. The metal-organic nanotubes were significantly different from conventional solid metal-organic framework (MOF) motifs. They exhibit good solubility owing to the branched side chains at their periphery and demonstrate high orientation capabilities in thin films owing to their anisotropic structure.

Herein, we describe experimental and computational studies to understand the features of oxycyanopyridinium ylides generated in situ from oxy-cyanopyridines and rhodium carbene. This chemistry has enabled the concomitant formation of both C-N and C-C bonds, providing a complementary approach for cyanation reactions. Density functional theory calculations indicate the sequential metal-bound ylide formation, rhodium-associated five-membered transition state, and 1,4-cyano group relocation.

A catalyst-in-bag system facilitates the recovery and recycling of chiral dirhodium carboxylate catalysts used for enantioselective, intermolecular cyclopropanation. The catalyst-in-bag system incorporates a soluble enantioselective dirhodium complex catalyst within a reusable, commercial dialysis membrane. Dirhodium catalysts of different sizes are examined, and two catalysts with molecular weights above 2400 Da are well-retained by the membrane.

Paddlewheel complexes of bimetallic scaffolds are emerging metallic agents in the bioinorganic chemistry landscape. In the most commonly employed construct, these complexes are decorated by the carboxylate moiety, prompting their possible deployment to target either protein or nucleic acid targets. In this study, density functional investigation was performed to assess viable mechanistic routes for the substitution of one acetate ligand with one chelating purine, adenine or guanine, in diruthenium and dirhodium tetraacetate paddlewheel complexes.
