The new 2-pyridinecarboxylate (2-pic) complex of chromium(III) has been designed and synthesized as a new highly active and selective oligomerization catalyst. The crystal structure of the new compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The composition and purity of [Cr(2-pic)(OH)]NO have been confirmed by several spectroscopic methods and the elemental analysis. Furthermore, the new complex has been investigated towards its catalytic activity for the oligomerization of 2-chloro-2-propen-1-ol under the atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. It has turned out that the novel catalyst exhibits a very high catalytic activity. Consequently, [Cr(2-pic)(OH)]NO belongs to a new generation of non-metallocene catalysts.

The preparation, electrochemistry and photophysical properties of a heteroleptic chromium(III) polypyridyl complex [Cr(TMP)(dppn)] () containing two 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (TMP) ligands and the π-extended benzodipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-]phenazine (dppn) ligand are reported. The visible absorption spectrum of reveals distinct bands between 320 and 420 nm characteristic of dppn-based ligand-centered transitions, with found to be nonemissive in aqueous solution but weakly luminescent in aerated acetonitrile solution. Transient visible absorption (TrA) spectroscopy reveals that 400 nm excitation of leads to initial population of a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) state which evolves within tens of ps to form a dppn-localized intraligand (IL) state which persists for longer than 7 ns and efficiently sensitizes singlet oxygen.

The interest in chromium(III) complexes has been renewed over the past decade for the design of efficient earth-abundant phosphorescent red-to-near-infrared spin-flip emitters and photocatalysts with long excited state lifetimes. In this context, we report the energy tuning of spin-flip excited states based on heteroleptic bis(tridentate) polypyridine chromium(III) complexes , namely, , and with the tridentate ligands L and L [X/Y = NMe, ,'-dimethyl-,'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine; X/Y = CH, 2,6-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)pyridine and X/Y = S, 2,6-bis(pyridine-2-ylthio)pyridine]. The heteroleptic complexes are obtained via a novel synthetic approach toward the required intermediate labile triflato complexes Cr(L)(OTf) () from the respective chlorido precursors CrCl(L) () using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate.

Six-coordinate chromium(iii) complexes with high spin-flip (SF) photoluminescence quantum yields and lifetimes (molecular rubies) have attracted huge interest in the past years due to their applicability in sensing, photocatalysis or circularly polarised emission. However, clearcut design rules for high quantum yields and lifetimes are still lacking due to the multidimensional problem of the non-radiative decay of the SF states. Based on an isostructural series of complexes differing in the ligand backbone, we disentangle decisive structural and electronic features for SF excited state energies and non-radiative decays promoted by spin-orbit coupling, Jahn-Teller distortions and (thermally activated) multiphonon relaxation.

The attractive electronic properties of metal-pyrazine materials─electrical conductivity, magnetic order, and strong magnetic coupling─can be tuned in a wide range depending on the metal employed, as well as its ligand-imposed redox environment. Using solvent-directed synthesis to control the dimensionality of such systems, a discrete tetranuclear chromium(III) complex, exhibiting a rare example of bridging radical pyrazine, has been prepared from chromium(II) triflate and neutral pyrazine. The strong antiferromagnetic interaction between Cr ( = 3/2) and radical pyrazine ( = 1/2) spins, theoretically estimated at about -932 K, leads to a thermally isolated = 4 ground state, which remains the only populated state observable even at room temperature.

Yeast β-glucan (BYG) possesses extremely low solubility that has limited its applications. In this study, we hydrolyzed BYG using snail enzyme to obtain hydrolyzed yeast β-glucan (HBYG) with desirable water solubility and hypoglycemic activity. On the basis of HBYG, HBYG‑chromium(III) complex (HBYG-Cr) was synthesized.
