A reaction of N,N-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene) diethylenetriamine (H2Vd) and Zn(NO)·6HO, ZnBr, ZnI and Cd(NO)·4HO in a methanol solution led to zinc and cadmium complexes of different nuclearities, [Zn(Vd·H)(X)]·CHOH (X = NO, Br, I) [1a, 1b and 1c] and Cd(Vd)(NO) (2). In 1(a-c), two H2Vd ligands bridge the two metal centers whereas in 2, they provide sideways support to two terminal Cd ions, providing an all-oxygen envelope to the central Cd ion. All four compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes 1(a-c) exhibit dinuclear structures, whereas 2 exhibits a nearly linear trinuclear structure. The structural differences among these complexes are attributable to various coordination modes and flexible configurations of the H2Vd ligand. The ligand H2Vd is an excellent probe for sensing Zn in solution, whereas complexes 1(a-c) are able to selectively detect pyrophosphate (PPi) in aqueous medium. The structure of the pyrophosphate (PPi) complex has been proposed using DFT calculations and the selectivity is due to the unique ability of this anion to simultaneously coordinate to both the Zn metal centers. The anticancer activity of complexes 1(a-c) was also explored.

Two different organometallic gold(I) compounds containing naphthalene and phenanthrene as fluorophores and 2-pyridyldiphenylphosphane as the ancillary ligand were synthesized (compounds 1 with naphthalene and 2 with phenanthrene). They were reacted with three different copper(I) salts with different counterions (PF, OTf, and BF; OTf = triflate) to obtain six Au(I)/Cu(I) heterometallic clusters (compounds - for naphthalene derivatives and - for phenanthrene derivatives). The heterometallic compounds present red pure room-temperature phosphorescence in both solution, the solid state, and air-equilibrated samples, as a difference with the dual emission recorded for the gold(I) precursors and .

A series of Ru(III)-NHC complexes, identified as [Ru(PyNHC)(Cl)(HO)] (1a-c), have been prepared, starting from RuCl·3HO following a base-free route. The Lewis acidic Ru(III) centre operates a halide-assisted, electrophilic C-H activation for carbene generation. The best results were obtained with azolium salts having the I anion, while ligand precursors with Cl, BF, and PF gave no complex formation and those with Br gave a product with mixed halides.

Novel zinc(II) coordination compounds with imidazole (Im) and 2-methylimidazole (2-MeIm) were prepared and characterized: [ZnX(Im)] (X = Cl (), Br (), I ()) and [ZnX(2-MeIm)] (X = Cl (), Br (), I ()). Coordination compounds - were prepared mechanochemically by neat grinding while - were prepared by solution synthesis. The complexes were characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy and by powder X-ray diffraction.

Article Synopsis
- Imines treated with palladium(II) acetate in acetic acid resulted in dinuclear complexes that can easily react with sodium halides to form μ-halide versions.
- These μ-halide complexes can then react with nucleophiles containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or oxygen, leading to the formation of new imine palladacycles after breaking down the PdX unit.
- The synthesized compounds were thoroughly characterized and successfully used as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction in both aqueous and semi-aqueous environments.
