Published: November 2021

Heterotrimetallic complexes (NiAuAg, PdAuAg, PtAuAg, and NiAuCu) containing a tritopic -heterocyclic carbene (NHC) have been synthesized for the first time through the deprotonation and metalation of heterodimetallic complexes and were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The carbene character of the donor groups in the tritopic NHC complexes was established on the basis of structural and NMR analyses.

Heterometallic Molecular and Ionic Isomers.

Numerous descriptions of structural isomerism in metal complexes do not list any molecular vs ionic isomers. At the same time, one of the most striking examples of structural isomerism in organic chemistry is molecular urea, which has the same atomic composition as the chemically distinct ionic ammonium cyanate. This iconic organic couple now meets its inorganic heterometallic counterpart.

Heterometallic hydride complexes are of growing interest due to their potential to contribute to highly active insertion-based catalysis; however, methods to modulate electron density within this class of molecules are underexplored. Addition of ancillary ligands to heterotrimetallic NiAlH species (1) results in the formation of heterobimetallic NiAl-hydride complexes with varying phosphine donors (2-(L)2). Incorporation of sigma donating ancillary ligands of increasing strength led to contractions of the Ni-Al distances correlated to a strengthening of a back donation interaction to the Al-H sigma antibonding orbital, most prominently present in 2-(PMe3)2.

Multinuclear heterometallic oxo clusters, composed of two or more different metal cations bridged by oxo ligands, represent an important class of molecular complexes known for their unique magnetic, catalytic, and electrochemical properties resulting from cooperative interactions between the metal cations. If three or more types of metal cations can be arranged as designed, their chemical and physical properties can be precisely and flexibly controlled, potentially creating innovative materials. However, research on hetero-trimetallic and hetero-tetrametallic oxo clusters remains limited.

A series of Ru(II) and Ir(III) based photoluminescent complexes were synthesised that incorporate an ancillary 2,2'-bipyridine ligand adorned with either one or two pendant -methyl imidazolium groups. These complexes have been fully characterised by an array of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. One Ir(III) example was unequivocally structurally characterised in the solid state using single crystal X-ray diffraction confirming the proposed formulation and coordination sphere.

In an effort to explore the coordination chemistry of the coordinative sulfur centers in -ruthenaborane [(Cp*Ru)(BH)(CSH)] (-1), we have thermolyzed -1 with group-6 metal carbonyls [M(CO)·THF] (M = Cr, Mo and W). The reaction of -1 with [Cr(CO)·THF] resulted in the formation of hetero-trimetallic triply bridging borylene [(Cp*Ru)(μ-CO)(μ-CHS-κS':κS''){Cr(CO)}(μ-BH)] (2), bridging boryl-borylene [(Cp*Ru)(μ-CO){(μ-BH(CHS)-κB:κS':κS'')}{Cr(CO)}(μ-BH)] (3), and sulfido bridged hetero-trimetallic complex [(Cp*Ru)(μ-CO){Cr(CO)}(μ-S)] (4). In 2, one side of RuCr-triangle features a μ-BH ligand while the other side is quadruply bridged by a methanedithiolato ligand in an unsymmetrical fashion.
