The synthesis of electron-deficient gallium- and aluminum-centered species containing a redox-active dpp-Bian ligand (dpp-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) is described. The reaction of digallane [(dpp-Bian)Ga-Ga(dpp-Bian)] with [PhC][PF] or AgPF resulted in polyoxidized species [(dpp-Bian)GaF] (), [(dpp-Bian)H][PF] (), and [(dpp-Bian)GaF(OPF)] (). The reaction of digallane with B(CF) led to electron-deficient gallylene [(dpp-Bian)GaB(CF)] of a dpp-Bian radical anion. The soft oxidation of digallane with tosyl cyanide gave the trinuclear cationic species [(dpp-Bian)Ga(Tos)Ga(Tos)Ga(dpp-Bian)][Ga(CN)] () containing dpp-Bian radical anions. The reaction of [(dpp-Bian)AlEt] with 1 equiv of [PhC][B(CF)] resulted in the cationic complex [(dpp-Bian)AlEt][B(CF)] () of neutral dpp-Bian, while the treatment of [(dpp-Bian)AlEt(EtO)] with 1 equiv of [PhC][B(CF)] resulted in the compound [(dpp-Bian)AlEt(EtO)][B(CF)] () of a dpp-Bian radical anion. The reaction of diethylaluminum derivative [(dpp-Bian)AlEt] with 1 equiv of B(CF) gave the cationic complex [{(dpp-Bian)AlEt}F][EtB(CF)] () containing radical-anion dpp-Bian ligands. The paramagnetic compounds , , , , , and were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the diamagnetic complex was characterized by NMR spectroscopy.

Oxidation of [(Ar-bian)Yb(dme)] (1) (Ar-bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene; dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) by 0.5 equivalent of MeNC(S)S-S(S)CNMe in dme at ambient temperature affords a mixture of two products, [(Ar-bian)Yb{SC(S)NMe}(dme)] and [(Ar-bian)Yb{SC(S)NMe}(dme)], which represent two redox-isomers (2a and 2b, respectively). Their ratio in solution depends on the solvent as well as on the temperature.

[(Dpp-bian)B(DMAP)] (dpp-bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene, DMAP = 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine), a bottleable super electron donor (SED), was demonstrated to serve as a SED catalyst in the borylation of aryl iodides, bromides, and the more challenging chlorides. Apart from installing Bpin from Bpin, the SED-catalyzed borylation protocol is also applicable for installing Bdan from Bpin-Bdan. The radical mechanism has been confirmed by the radical trapping and radical clock experiments.

The reactions of HAlCl with [(dpp-Bian)Na(EtO)] and [(Ar-Bian)Na(THF)] produce respective aluminum hydrides supported by radical-anionic 1,2-bis(arylimino)acenaphthene ligands, [(dpp-Bian)AlH] ( and [(Ar-Bian)AlH(THF)] () (dpp-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene); Ar-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene). The reaction of with CO proceeds with reduction of both C═O bonds and results in diolate [{(dpp-Bian)Al(μ-OCH)}] (). Complex reacts with CO to carbonate [{(Ar-Bian)Al(μ-OCHOCO)}] () that is a result of the insertion of CO into the Al-O bond in diolate species formed initially.

The reaction of the redox active 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene (dpp-BIAN) and iron(II) iodide in acetonitrile led to a new complex [(dpp-BIAN)FeI] (). Molecular structure of was determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The spin state of the iron cation in complex at room temperature and the magnetic behavior of in the temperature range of 2-300 K were studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements, respectively.

The reactions of monomeric [(dpp-Bian)M(thf)] (M = Ca (), Sr (); dpp-Bian = 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene) with 4,4'-bipyridyl (4,4'-bipy) proceed with electron transfer from dpp-Bian to 4,4'-bipy to afford calcium and strontium complexes containing simultaneously radical-anionic dpp-Bian and 4,4'-bipy ligands. In tetrahydrofuran (thf) the reactions result in 1D coordination polymers [{(dpp-Bian)M(4,4'-bipy)(thf)}·4thf] (M = Ca (), Sr ()), while in a thf/benzene mixture the reaction between and 4,4'-bipy affords the 2D metal-organic framework [{(dpp-Bian)Ca(4,4'-bipy)}·2thf·2CH] ().
