An efficient strategy for the synthesis of a wide variety of coordination complexes has been developed. The synthetic protocol involves a solvothermal in situ metal-ligand reaction of picolinaldehyde, ammonium acetate, and transition-metal ions, leading to the generation of 12 coordination complexes supported by a novel class of substituted 1-pyridineimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligands (L1-L5). The ligands L1-L5 were afforded by metal-mediated controllable conversion of the aldehyde group of picolialdehyde into a ketone and secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon centers, respectively. Complexes of various nuclearities were obtained: from mono-, di-, and tetranuclear to 1D chain polymers. The structures of the in situ formed complexes could be controlled rationally via the choice of appropriate starting materials and tuning of the ratio of the starting materials. The plausible mechanisms for the formation of the ligands L1-L5 were proposed.

In this work we disclose a new family of biscyclometallated Ir(III) complexes of the general formula [Ir(C^N)(N^N)]Cl (IrL1-IrL5), where HC^N is 1-phenyl-β-carboline and N^N ligands (L1-L5) are different diimine ligands that differ from each other in the number of aromatic rings fused to the bipyridine scaffold. The photophysical properties of IrL1-IrL5 were thoroughly studied, and theoretical calculations were performed for a deeper comprehension of the respective variations along the series. All complexes exhibited high photostability under blue light irradiation.

Novel four-coordinated boron complexes (-) were synthesized via a reaction between BF·CHOH and benzimidazole-phenolate ligands (-), which are N,O-donors. These complexes exhibit intense blue emission in the solution and solid states accompanied by notable fluorescence quantum yields (Φ). The study of the structure-property relation, through theoretical and experimental approaches, revealed a distinctive trend where compounds incorporating electron-donating substituents (methyl and ethoxy groups) in the phenolate moiety manifest shifts in emission wavelengths across the blue spectrum, concomitant with an increase in Φ.

We report here a small library of a new type of acyclic squaramide receptors (-) as selective ionophores for the detection of ketoprofen and naproxen anions (KF and NS, respectively) in aqueous media. H NMR binding studies show a high affinity of these squaramide receptors toward KF and NS, suggesting the formation of H-bonds between the two guests and the receptors through indole and -NH groups. Compounds - have been tested as ionophores for the detection of KF and NS inside solvent PVC-based polymeric membranes.

The present work reports the synthesis of new N4-donor compounds carrying p-xylyl spacers in their structure. Different Schiff base aliphatic N-donors were obtained synthetically and subsequently evaluated for their ability to interact with two models of nucleic acids: calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and the RNA from yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (herein simply indicated as RNA). In more detail, by condensing p-xylylenediamine and a series of aldehydes, we obtained the following Schiff base ligands: 2-thiazolecarboxaldehyde (), pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (), 5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxaldehyde (), 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde (), and quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde ().

The fluoro-substituted 2,6-bis(arylimino)pyridine dichlorocobalt complexes, [2-{CMeN(2,6-(PhCH)-3,4-FCH)}-6-(CMeNAr)CHN]CoCl (Ar = 2,6-MeCH Co1, 2,6-EtCHCo2, 2,6-iPrCHCo3, 2,4,6-MeCHCo4, 2,6-Et-4-MeCHCo5), were synthesized in good yield from the corresponding unsymmetrical ,,'-ligands, L1-L5. Besides characterization of Co1-Co5 by FT-IR spectroscopy, F NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the molecular structures of Co2 and Co5 were also determined highlighting the unsymmetrical nature of the terdentate ligand and the -square pyramidal geometry about the metal center. When either MAO or MMAO were employed as activators, Co1-Co5 were able to achieve a wide range of catalytic activities for ethylene polymerisation.
