The trinuclear palladium addition to monocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons was revealed. The trinuclear adduct of [2.2]paracyclophane, cycloheptatriene (CHT), or cyclooctatetraene (COT) was obtained by treatment of the corresponding tripalladium sandwich complexes with 3 equiv. of 1,10-phenanthroline. In the trinuclear adduct of [2.2]paracyclophane or CHT, a Pd2 unit and a Pd1 unit synfacially coordinate through a (μ-η(3)-allyl):(η(3)-allyl) manner. A trinuclear adduct of COT exhibited an unusual bonding structure in which a formally tetraanionic COT coordinates to three Pd(II) centers through a synfacial η(3):η(1):η(3):η(1) coordination mode. The tetraanionic COT ligand bearing three Pd(II) moieties undergoes a unique intramolecular 1,5-C-C coupling.

The development of the trinuclear platinum(II) complex BBR3464 (also known as triplatin) in the late 1990s was meant to be a revolution in the field of platinum chemotherapy. What made it remarkable was that it defied many of the known structure-activity rules for platinums; it is cationic, has a single labile leaving group on each terminal platinum, and it binds DNA in ways different to mononuclear platinum drugs, like cisplatin and oxaliplatin. The flexible, long-range adducts the drug forms with DNA means that it showed activity in cancers not typically sensitive to platinums, and more importantly, BBR3464 demonstrated an ability to overcome acquired resistance to platinum drugs.

The coordination of the Lewis superacid tris(pentafluorophenyl)alane (AlCF) to phosphine-supported, group 6 bis(dinitrogen) complexes [ML(N)] is explored, with M = Cr, Mo or W and L = dppe (1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), depe (1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane), dmpe (1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) or 2 × PMePh. Akin to tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF), AlCF can form 1 : 1 adducts by coordination to one distal nitrogen of general formula -[ML(N){(μ-η:η-N)Al(CF)}]. The boron and aluminium adducts are structurally similar, showing a comparable level of N push-pull activation.

A yet-outstanding supramolecular chemistry challenge is isolation of novel varieties of stacked complexes with finely-tuned donor-acceptor bonding and optoelectronic properties, as herein reported for binary adducts comprising two different cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTC@CTC'). Most previous attempts focused only on 1-2 factors among metal/ligand/substituent combinations, resulting in heterobimetallic complexes. Instead, here we show that, when all 3 factors are carefully considered, a broadened variety of CTC@CTC' stacked pairs with intuitively-enhanced intertrimer coordinate-covalent bonding strength and ligand-ligand/metal-ligand dispersion are attained (d 2.

Solid-gas reactions and powder X-ray diffraction investigations of trinuclear silver complexes {[3,4,5-(CF)Pz]Ag} and {[4-Br-3,5-(CF)Pz]Ag} supported by highly fluorinated pyrazolates reveal that they undergo intricate ethylene-triggered structural transformations in the solid-state producing dinuclear silver-ethylene adducts. Despite the complexity, the chemistry is reversible producing precursor trimers with the loss of ethylene. Less reactive {[3,5-(CF)Pz]Ag} under ethylene pressure and low-temperature conditions stops at an unusual silver-ethylene complex in the trinuclear state, which could serve as a model for intermediates likely present in more common trimer-dimer reorganizations described above.

The triazolate-assisted asymmetric dinuclear oxovanadium(IV) citrate [VO(cit)(Hdatrz)]·5HO (1, Hcit = citric acid, Hdatrz = 1-1,2,4-triazole-3,5-diamine) and its additive salt [VO(cit)(Hdatrz)][VO(cit)]·2Hdatrz·9.5HO (2) and the polymerized hexanuclear product [VO(μ-O)(cit)(Hdatrz)]·4HO (3) have been isolated at different temperatures, respectively. Adduct 2 shows strong evidence for the conversion of a symmetric dinuclear oxovanadium(IV) citrate to a mixed-ligand asymmetric oxovanadium(IV) citrate.
