The Cu(ii) heptanuclear complex (Cu7atac) was synthesised using the hydrated amino acid ligand 2-(5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)acetic acid (Hatac·H2O). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a μ3-hydroxo bridged Cu(ii) heptanuclear complex, consisting of two triangular subunits and one Cu(ii) ion as a bridge with the formula [Cu7(atac)6(μ3-OH)2(NO3)2(H2O)10](NO3)4. The magnetic behaviour of this discrete 0D complex shows strong antiferromagnetic couplings between Cu(ii) mediated by N,N bonding and an anti-anti modes of the carboxylate anion of the ligand atac-. The magnetic data were fitted considering a 3J model. To support the model used to fit the magnetic data of the Cu7atac complex, theoretical calculation methods (complete active space self-consistent field, CASSCF, density functional theory (DFT) using the UKS TPSS/Def2-TZVP//Def2-SVP level and periodic boundary conditions (PBC) using PBE/DZVP-MOLOPT-GTH) were performed to obtain the spin states, spin density map and J couplings. The theoretical results suggest that Cu7atac is a spin-frustrated complex in the ground state, in which the doublet spin state co-exists with the quartet spin state.

Mixed-ligand and mixed-metal trinuclear complexes bearing two {Pt-bisNHC-C1} moieties, [{Pt(bisNHC-C1)}(ML)(μ-S)] (ML = Pt(bisNHC-C2), = 2; ML = Pt(bisNHC-C3), = 2; ML = Rh(cod), = 1; ML = RhCp*, = 2), where bisNHC-C1, bisNHC-C2 and bisNHC-C3 represent methylene-, ethylene- and propylene-bridged bis-NHC ligands, respectively, were synthesised and structurally characterised. Reactions of these complexes with a half eq. of Ag(i) ions were examined using H and Pt NMR spectroscopy.

We present a bifunctional heptanuclear cobalt(II)/cobalt(III) molecular complex formulated as [Co(μ-OH)(HL)(HL)](NO)·6HO () (where HL is 2,2'-(((1E,1'E)-((2-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,3-phenylene)bis(methanylylidene))bis(azanylylidene))bis(propane-1,3-diol)) and HL is 2-amino-1,3-propanediol). Compound has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis along with other spectral and magnetic measurements. Structural analysis indicates that contains a mixed-valence Co cluster where a central Co(II) ion is connected to six different Co centers (four Co and two Co ions) by four μ-OH groups, giving rise to a planar heptanuclear cluster that resembles a molecular fragment of a layered double hydroxide (LDH).

Heptanuclear {Gd} (complex ) and tetradecanuclear {Gd} (complex ) were synthesized using the rhodamine 6G ligand HL (rhodamine 6G salicylaldehyde hydrazone) and characterized. Complex has a rare disc-shaped structure, where the central Gd ion is connected to the six peripheral Gd ions via CHO/μ-OH bridges. Complex has an unexpected three-layer double sandwich structure with a rare μ-O ion in the center of the cluster.

Oligo- and polyazulenes are attractive π-conjugated building blocks in designing advanced functional materials. Herein, we demonstrate that anchoring one or both isocyanide termini of the redox non-innocent 2,2'-diisocyano-6,6'-biazulenic π-linker (1) to the redox-active [Cr(CO)] moiety provided a convenient intramolecular redox reference for unambiguously establishing that the 6,6'-biazulenic scaffold undergoes a reversible one-step 2 reduction governed by reduction potential compression/inversion.
