While ruthenium tris(diimine) complexes have been extensively studied, this is not the case with ruthenium bis(diimine)X(2) complexes where X represents a pyridinyl-based ligand. The synthesis of a new complex ([2][PF(6)](2)) bearing two ambident Schiff base ligands (HL) constituted by the assembly of phenol and pyridinyl moieties is reported. Thanks to the heteroditopic property of HL, compound [2](2+) was used as an original metalloligand for the coordination of a redox-active (Mn(III)) and redox-inactive (Zn(II)) second metal cation affording three heterodinuclear complexes, namely, [(bpy)(2)Ru(2)Mn(acac)][PF(6)](2) ([3][PF(6)](2); acac = acetylacetonate), [(bpy)(2)Ru(2)Mn(OAc)][PF(6)](2) ([4][PF(6)](2), OAc = acetate), and [(bpy)(2)Ru(2)Zn][PF(6)](2) ([5][PF(6)](2)). The influence of the second metal with regard to the photophysical and electrochemical properties of the ruthenium bis(diimine)X(2) subunit was then investigated. In the case of Ru(II)-Mn(III) heterodinuclear complexes, a partial quenching of the luminescence was observed as a consequence of an efficient electron transfer process from the ruthenium to the manganese. EPR and spectrophotometric analyses of the oxidized species resulting from the one-electron oxidation of compounds [3](2+) and [4](2+) showed the formation of a Mn(IV) species for [3](2+) and an organic free radical for [4](2+).

Electron-rich pyridines with π donor groups at the position play an important role as nucleophiles in organocatalysis, but their ligand properties and utilization in coordination chemistry have received little attention. Herein, we report the synthesis of two electron-rich pyridines 1 and 2 bearing N-heterocyclic imine groups at the position and explore their coordination chemistry. Experimental and computational methods were used to assess the donor ability of the new pyridines showing that they are stronger donors than aminopyridines and guanidinyl pyridines, and that the nature of the N-heterocyclic backbone has a strong influence on the pyridine donor strength.

Described are the diverse reactivities of novel, stable, ambident thio-organocesium reagents (bearing electron withdrawing groups) against benzynes. Reactions at reflux temperature predominantly led to the generation of various functionalized stable sulfonium ylides and at 40 °C the same reaction underwent direct c-arylation. Furthermore, lack of internal hydrogen on the cesium reagent helped to produce different ortho-bifunctional arynes in both the reactions.

Azoles are important motifs in medicinal chemistry, and elaboration of their structures via direct N-H/C-H coupling could have broad utility in drug discovery. The ambident reactivity of many azoles, however, presents significant selectivity challenges. Here, we report a copper-catalyzed method that achieves site-selective cross-coupling of pyrazoles and other N-H heterocycles with substrates bearing (hetero)benzylic C-H bonds.

A method for regioselective ring openings of 3,4- and 2,3-epoxy alcohols with ambident nitrogen heterocycles is described. Using a diarylborinic acid catalyst, a single regioisomer is favored in couplings of nucleophile and electrophile partners that display low regioselectivity under conventional conditions. The method provides access to aromatic heterocycles bearing stereochemically defined, functionalized alkyl substituents, a product class similar in structure to medicinally relevant compounds such as the acyclic nucleoside analogues.

We propose a new concept of the triple role of protic ionic liquids with nucleophilic anions: a) a regenerable solvent, b) a Brønsted acid inducing diverse transformations via general acid catalysis, and c) a source of a nucleophile. The efficiency of this strategy was demonstrated using thiocyanate-based protic ionic liquids for the ring-opening of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes. A wide variety of activated cyclopropanes were found to react with 1-methylimidazolium thiocyanate under mild metal-free conditions via unusual nitrogen attack of the ambident thiocyanate ion on the electrophilic center of the three-membered ring affording pyrrolidine-2-thiones bearing donor and acceptor substituents at the C(5) and C(3) atoms, respectively, in a single time-efficient step.
