In an effort to generate triple-decker complexes comprising a {PdCl}moiety in the middle deck, we have explored the reactivity of [(Cp*M){μ-BHE}], - (: M = Co, E = S; : M = Co, E = Se; : M = Rh, E = Se; and : M = Ir, E = Se; Cp* = η-CMe), with [PdCl(COD)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). The reactions led to the formation of a series of trinuclear heterometallic triple-decker complexes, [(Cp*M){μ-BHEPd(Cl)}], - (: M = Co, E = S; : M = Co, E = Se; : M = Rh, E = Se; and : M = Ir, E = Se). Formation of the complexes - occurred almost instinctively as a single product with the elimination of the COD ligand. These complexes are examples of novel triple-decker species having a planar bridging palladacycle ligand, in which the Pd metal exists as Pd(II) in an uncommon pseudo-octahedral environment with an elongated M-Pd bonding interaction. The new species, -, have been characterized spectroscopically, and the structures of - were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The structure and bonding of these molecules were further analyzed with the help of density functional theory studies that found a strong electron donation from the BE (E = S or Se) fragment of the middle ring to the axial metals, while a weak bonding interaction between group 9 metals and Pd.

The reaction of fluoride anions with mononuclear rare-earth(III) complexes of the hexaazamacrocycle derived from 2,6-diformylpyridine and ethylenediamine affords trinuclear coordination compounds . The X-ray crystal structures of these complexes show triplex cationic complexes where the three roughly parallel macrocyclic lanthanide(III) units are linked by bis-μ-F bridges. The detailed analysis of the photophysical properties of the and complexes reveals different temperature dependence of luminescence intensity and luminescence decay time of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) derivatives.

To study the influence of heteroatoms on the photophysical properties of divalent Eu and Sr complexes, the synthesis of the phospholyl and arsolyl compounds [{(Dtp)(thf)M}{μ-η:η-CH}] (M = Eu and Sr; Dtp = 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-bis(-butyl)phospholyl) and [{(Dtas)(thf)M}{μ-η:η-CH}] (M = Eu and Sr; Dtas = 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-bis(-butyl)arsolyl) is reported. Organometallic compounds of divalent europium with P and As heterocyclic ligands have not been described previously. They were prepared by salt elimination reactions from potassium phospholyl or arsolyl, KCH, and EuI(thf) or SrI.

The first structurally characterized organometallic multidecker sandwich complexes featuring a cycloheptatrienyl ring (Cht, CH) in the coordination sphere are presented. The synthesis of inverse sandwich complexes of the rare earth elements Y and Er with a bridging cycloheptatrienyl ligand of the type [(thf)(BH)Ln(μ-η:η-Cht)Ln(BH)(thf)] is described first. The subsequent introduction of the Cot ligand (Cot = 1,4-(PrSi)CH) into the coordination sphere of the rare earth cations resulted in the isolation of unprecedented triple-decker compounds with the formula [(thf)K{(η-Cot)Ln}(μ-η:η-Cht)], bearing a seven-membered aromatic carbon ring as a middle deck.

Herein, we present the first report on the synthesis of rare-earth complexes featuring a 9,10-diborataanthracene ligand. This 14-π-electron ligand is highly reductive and was previously used in small-molecule activation. Salt elimination reactions between dipotassium 9,10-diethyl-9,10-diborataanthracene [K(DEDBA)] and [Ln(η-Cot)(BH)(thf)] (Cot=1,4-(PrSi)CH) in a 1 : 1 ratio yielded heteroleptic sandwich complexes [K(η-Cot)Ln(η-DEDBA)] (Ln=Y, Dy, Er).

H-NMR spectroscopy of lanthanide complexes is a powerful tool for deriving spectral-structural correlations, which provide a clear link between the symmetry of the coordination environment of paramagnetic metal centers and their magnetic properties. In this work, we have first synthesized a series of homo- (M = M* = Dy) and heteronuclear (M ≠ M* = Dy/Y and Dy/Tb) triple-decker complexes , where BuO- and 15C5- are, respectively, butoxy and 15-crown-5 substituents on phthalocyanine (Pc) ligands. We provide an algorithmic approach to assigning the H-NMR spectra of these complexes and extracting the axial component of the magnetic susceptibility tensor, χax.
