The reactivity of digallane (dpp-Bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-Bian) (1) (dpp-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) toward acenaphthenequinone (AcQ), sulfur dioxide, and azobenzene was investigated. The reaction of 1 with AcQ in 1:1 molar ratio proceeds via two-electron reduction of AcQ to give (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-AcQ)Ga(dpp-Bian) (2), in which diolate [AcQ](2-) acts as "bracket" for the Ga-Ga bond. The interaction of 1 with AcQ in 1:2 molar ratio proceeds with an oxidation of the both dpp-Bian ligands as well as of the Ga-Ga bond to give (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-AcQ)2Ga(dpp-Bian) (3). At 330 K in toluene complex 2 decomposes to give compounds 3 and 1. The reaction of complex 2 with atmospheric oxygen results in oxidation of a Ga-Ga bond and affords (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-AcQ)(μ2-O)Ga(dpp-Bian) (4). The reaction of digallane 1 with SO2 produces, depending on the ratio (1:2 or 1:4), dithionites (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-O2S-SO2)Ga(dpp-Bian) (5) and (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-O2S-SO2)2Ga(dpp-Bian) (6). In compound 5 the Ga-Ga bond is preserved and supported by dithionite dianionic bracket. In compound 6 the gallium centers are bridged by two dithionite ligands. Both 5 and 6 consist of dpp-Bian radical anionic ligands. Four-electron reduction of azobenzene with 1 mol equiv of digallane 1 leads to complex (dpp-Bian)Ga(μ2-NPh)2Ga(dpp-Bian) (7). Paramagnetic compounds 2-7 were characterized by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and their molecular structures were established by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Magnetic behavior of compounds 2, 5, and 6 was investigated by superconducting quantum interference device technique in the range of 2-295 K.

σ-complexes of homoatomic E-E bonds are key intermediates in catalytically relevant oxidative addition reactions, but are as yet unknown for the group 13 elements. Here, stable species best described as σ-complexes of a 1,2-dichlorodigallane derivative with Ni and Pd are reported. They are readily accessed through the combination of a 1,2-dichlorodigallane derivative, which features chelating phosphine functionalities, with Ni and Pd synthons.

Activation of metalloprodrugs or prodrug activation using transition metal catalysts represents emerging strategies for drug development; however, they are frequently hampered by poor spatiotemporal control and limited catalytic turnover. Here, we demonstrate that metal complex-mediated, autolytic release of active metallodrugs can be successfully employed to prepare clinical grade (radio-)pharmaceuticals. Optimization of the Lewis-acidic metal ion, chelate, amino acid linker, and biological targeting vector provides means to release peptide-based (radio-)metallopharmaceuticals in solution and from the solid phase using metal-mediated, autolytic amide bond cleavage (MMAAC).

Different attempts have been made in the past two decades to develop radiolabeled peptide conjugates with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties in order to improve the application for tumor imaging and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), which targets the cholecystokinin-2 receptor (CCK2R). In this paper, the influence of different side chain and peptide bond modifications has been explored for the minigastrin analog DOTA-DGlu-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Trp-(-Me)Nle-Asp-1Nal-NH (DOTA-MGS5). Based on this lead structure, five new derivatives were synthesized for radiolabeling with trivalent radiometals.

Electrochemical water oxidation enables the conversion of HO to HO. It holds distinct advantages to the O reduction reaction, which is restricted by the inefficient mass transfer and limited solubility of O in aqueous media. Nonetheless, most reported anodes suffer from high overpotentials (usually >1000 mV) and low selectivity.

Syntheses and characterization of two salts [(L)GaGa(L)][] ([] = [Al(OR)]; R = C(CF)) are reported. They include the first dicationic digallene [(L)Ga⇆Ga(L)] (L = CDP = C(PPh)) and a digallane [(L)Ga-Ga(L)] (L = [NacNac]). The CDP-supported digallene dication includes a -bent [L-GaGa-L] bond that is analogous to neutral R-GaGa-R molecules and related to Robinson's famous "Digallyne" [R-GaGa-R].
