Migratory insertions of olefins into metal-oxygen bonds are elementary steps of important catalytic processes, but well characterised complexes that undergo this reaction are rare, and little information on the effects of ancillary ligands on such reactions has been gained. We report a series of alkoxo alkene complexes of rhodium(i) that contain a range of bidentate ligands and that undergo insertion of the alkene. Our results show that complexes containing less electron-donating ancillary ligands react faster than their counterparts containing more electron-donating ancillary ligands, and that complexes possessing ligands with larger bite angles react faster than those with smaller bite angles. External added ligands had several effects on the reactions, including an inhibition of olefin isomerisation in the product and acceleration of the displacement of the product from complexes of ancillary ligands with small bite angles. Complementary computational studies help elucidate the details of these insertion processes.

Developing small organic molecular phototheranostic agents with second near-infrared (NIR-II) aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is paramount for the phototriggered diagnostic imaging and synchronous in situ therapy of cancer via an excellent balance of the excited states energy dissipations. In this study, a multifunctional iridium(III) complex is exploited by the coordination of an AIE-active N^N ancillary ligand with a trivalent iridium ion. The resultant complex DPTPzIr significantly outperforms its parent ligand in terms of absorption/emission wavelengths, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and photothermal conversion, which simultaneously endow DPTPzIr nanoparticles with matched absorption peak to commercial 808 nm laser, the longest NIR-II emission peak (above 1100 nm) among those previously reported AIE iridium(III) complexes, potentiated type-I ROS generation, and as high as 60.

The engineering of charge transport materials, with electronic characteristics that result in effective charge extraction and transport dynamics, is pivotal for the realization of efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we elucidate the critical role of terminal substituent methoxy groups (-OCH) on the bandgap tuning of the spiro-like hole transport materials (HTMs) to realize performant and cost-effective PSCs. By considering spiro-OMeTAD as the benchmark HTM, we kept the backbone of spiro while replacing diphenylamine with phenanthrenimidazole.

We report the synthesis and characterization of two chiral binuclear iridium(III) complexes ( and ) prepared from enantiopure building blocks [μ-Cl(Δ-Ir(C^N))] and [μ-Cl(Λ-Ir(C^N))]. These building blocks have been obtained by chiral preparative high-performance liquid chromatography of the neutral iridium(III) complex (piv = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dionate) followed by selective degradation of the ancillary ligand. For comparison purposes, we also synthesized a monomer () and a dimer (, mixture).

The integration of fluorine into medicinal compounds has become a widely used strategy to improve the biochemical and therapeutic properties of drugs. Inclusion of -CFH and -OCF fluoroalkyl groups has garnered attention due to their bioisosteric properties, enhanced lipophilicity, and potential hydrogen-bonding capability in bioactive substances. In this study, we prepared a series of stable Cu[CF(OCF)(CFH)]L complexes by insertion of commercially available perfluoro(methyl vinyl ether), CF=CF(OCF), into Cu-H bonds derived from Stryker's reagent, [CuH(PPh)], using ancillary ligands L.

Silyl-phenanthroline (NN'Si) ligand ancillary iridium-catalyzed C(sp)-H borylation is investigated theoretically. Density functional theory calculations clearly disclose that the (NN'Si)Ir(H)(Bpin) (NN'Si = 6-[(di--butylsilyl)methyl]-1,10-phenanthroline) complex is a resting state, and the (NN'Si)Ir(Bpin) complex serves as an active species in the catalytic cycle. The remarkably high activity of this type of a catalyst arises from the rapid reductive elimination of HBpin from (NN'Si)Ir(H)(Bpin) to generate the active species (NN'Si)Ir(Bpin).
