Alkylthio-tetrasubstituted μ-nitrido diiron phthalocyanine complexes are synthesized with -butyl, -butyl, -butyl, and -hexadecyl alkyl moieties. For the first time, a spectroelectrochemical investigation of μ-nitrido diiron phthalocyanines is achieved at all the redox steps. The complexes are stable in all their redox states, unlike their unsubstituted analogues. The interest of the present complexes is to prepare sensing devices by a solution processing method. Films are characterized by electronic absorption and Raman spectroscopies. Electrical measurements on resistors show the highly resistive behavior of these complexes, whatever the chain length. However, when combined with the lutetium bisphthalocyanine, an intrinsic semiconductor, these complexes form heterojunctions that exhibit a high sensitivity to ammonia, with a very good signal over noise ratio, at room temperature and under atmospheric conditions.

The Ru(IV,IV), Ru(III,IV), and Ru(III,III) complexes with the doubly oxido- and/or hydroxido-bridged diamond core {Ru(μ-O(H))}, bridged by an η:η:μ-type bidentate sulfato ligand, [{Ru(L)}(μ-O)(μ-OSO)] ( = 1: [III,IV]; = 2: [IV,IV]), [{Ru(L)}(μ-O)(μ-OH)(μ-OSO)] ([III,IV_1H]), and [{Ru(L)}(μ-OH)(μ-OSO)] ([III,III_2H]) (L = ethylbis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine), were synthesised as ClO-salts, and their crystal and electronic structures investigated. The corresponding hydrogencarbonato-bridged Ru(III,III) complex, [{Ru(L)}(μ-OH)(μ-OCOH)] ([III,III(HCO3)_2H]), was also prepared and its crystallographic and electronic structures compared to those of the sulfato-bridged system, [III,III_2H]. All the sulfato-bridged complexes isolated were confirmed in the Pourbaix diagram, wherein the redox potential was plotted as a function of pH.

The new diiron complexes [FeCp(CO)(L)(μ-CO){μ-CN(Me)(Cy)}]CFSO (L = pyridine, 3a; 4-aminopyridine, 3b; 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 3c; 4-trifluoromethylpyridine, 3d; nicotinic acid, 4; Cp = η-CH, Cy = CH = cyclohexyl) were synthesized in moderate to high yields using two distinct synthetic routes from the precursors 1 (L = CO, for 4) and 2 (L = NCMe, for 3a-d), respectively. All products were characterized by IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and the structures of 3b and 3d were ascertained by X-ray diffraction studies. The behavior of the complexes in aqueous solutions (solubility, Log P, stability) was assessed using NMR and UV-Vis methods.

Carbon monoxide inhibited forms of nitrogenases have carbonyl (CO) and carbide (C) bridges, which are common in synthetic iron complexes with strong-field ligand environments but rare in iron sites with weak-field ligand environments analogous to the enzyme. Here, we explore the fundamental bonding description of bridging CO in high-spin iron systems. We describe the isolation of several diiron carbonyls and related species, and elucidate their electronic structures, magnetic coupling, and characteristic structural and vibrational parameters.

This study examined the development of FeB (diiron boronize) coatings on the surface of 35NiCrMo4 steel through the thermochemical surface hardening process called boronizing. The morphology and thickness of the boronize coatings were assessed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM). A novel mathematical mass transfer model was developed to estimate the diffusion coefficients of boron in hard coating.
