Oxygenation of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) is achieved on an iridium center using water as a reagent. A hydrogen-bonding interaction with an unbound nitrogen atom of the naphthyridine-based ligand architecture promotes nucleophilic attack of water to the metal-bound COD. Irida-oxetane and oxo-irida-allyl compounds are isolated, products which are normally accessed from reactions with H2O2 or O2. DFT studies support a ligand-assisted water activation mechanism.

Developing highly efficient non-iridium-based active sites for acidic water splitting is still a huge challenge. Herein, unique Ru-B-Cr moieties have been constructed in RuO nanofibers (NFs) to activate Ru sites for water electrolysis, which overcomes the bottleneck of RuO-based catalysts usually possessing low activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and poor stability for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The fabricated Cr, B-doped RuO NFs exhibit low overpotentials of 205 and 379 mV for acidic HER and OER at 1 A cm with outstanding stability lasting 1000 and 188 h, respectively.

Bimetallic catalysts have gained attention as promising contenders, owing to the synergistic interaction between two distinct metal centers. In this study, we present two N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(III) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes [Cp*Ir(fcpyNHC)Cl]PF6 (1) and [Cp*Ir(pyNHC)Cl]PF6 (2) where 1 includes a ferrocene moiety acting as a bimetallic complex. Using ceric ammonium nitrate as a sacrificial oxidant, both complexes were tested for water oxidation.

Iridium trihydride and tetrahydride complexes and their role in catalytic polarisation transfer from hydrogen to pyruvate.

This work details how the unusual iridium tetrahydride [Ir(H)(IMes)(sulfoxide)]Na and trihydride [Ir(H)(IMes)(sulfoxide)] can be formed in a solvent dependent reaction of [IrCl(COD)(IMes)] with sulfoxide (dimethyl or methylphenyl), base, and H. In the case of dimethyl sulfoxide, the four hydride ligands of the tetrahydride are equivalent, and the IMes and sulfoxide ligands mutually . However, for phenyl methyl sulfoxide, this isomer of the tetrahydride forms alongside its counterpart where the remarkable symmetry breaking effect of the sulfoxide leads to it presenting four chemically distinct hydride ligands.

Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and is recognized as the most aggressive tumor of the digestive system. Aberrant activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is associated with proliferation, metastasis and immunosuppression of the tumor cells. Here, to inhibit the STAT3 pathway and suppress metastasis in colon cancer cells, the half-sandwich iridium complex Ir-ART containing an artesunate-derived ligand was synthesized.
