The reactions of monocationic Pt(II) complexes bearing N^C chelate ligands and Me2pzH, [Pt(N^C)(Me2pzH)2]PF6 (N^C = 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy(-)), 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridinate (dfppy(-)), benzo[h]quinolinate (bzq(-)); Me2pzH = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole), with Ag(I) ions gave Z (or U)-shaped neutral tetranuclear Pt2Ag2 complexes [Pt2Ag2(N^C)2(Me2pz)4], while those with Au(I) ions gave neutral trinuclear PtAu2 complexes [PtAu2(N^C)(Me2pz)3]. On the contrary, the reactions of the dicationic Pt(II) complex bearing a N^N chelate ligand and Me2pzH, [Pt(bpy)(Me2pzH)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), with Ag(I) and Au(I) ions both gave Z (or U)-shaped dicationic tetranuclear Pt2M2 complexes, [Pt2M2(bpy)2(Me2pz)4](PF6)2 (M = Ag, Au). The structures of heteropolynuclear Pt(II) complexes were dominated by the nature of incorporated group 11 metal ions and the charge of complexes.

Nano onions based on an amphiphilic Au(pyrazolate) complex.

Nanoscale

January 2025

Institut des Sciences et Ingénierie Chimiques, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Article Synopsis
  • Multilayer vesicles, or nano onions, can be formed through the self-assembly of amphiphilic gold(pyrazolate) complexes in water, showcasing a new approach distinct from typical organic amphiphiles.
  • Characterization techniques like electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering confirmed the unique structures, highlighting that the presence of Au(I) is crucial compared to similar silver and copper complexes.
  • Molecular dynamics simulations helped explain how these nano onions form through interactions between stacked complexes, providing a deeper understanding of their assembly in solution.

Stabilisation of Bromenium Ions in Macrocyclic Halogen Bond Complexes.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

October 2024

Chemistry Research Laboratory Oxford Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford, Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TA, U.K.

Halenium ions (X) are highly reactive electron deficient species that are prevalent transient intermediates in halogenation reactions. The stabilisation of these species is especially challenging, with the most common approach to sequester reactivity through the formation of bis-pyridine (Py) complexes; [(Py)X]. Herein, we present the first example of a macrocyclic stabilisation effect for halenium species.

The design and study of rich, bulky phosphorus ligands is a key area of research for homogeneous catalysis. Here, we describe an original strategy using a hydrophosphination reaction to produce phosphines of interest for coordination chemistry and homogenous catalysis. In particular, the phosphine obtained by reacting diphenylphosphine with acenaphthylene (ligand ) gives a ligand that adopts an unusual spatial geometry.

Metallophilic interactions are the widespread interactions in multimetal clusters to orientate closed-shell metal self-assembly form linear, facet, or block clusters. The closed-shell metal cation does not have empty valence orbitals, but is able to attract each other. It is still a conundrum to understand the resource in balancing the strong Coulomb repulsion between two cations.
