Hydroxylation of aryl carbon-hydrogen bonds with transition metal catalysts has proven challenging when oxygen is used as the oxidant. Here, we report a palladium complex bearing a bidentate pyridine/pyridone ligand that efficiently catalyzes this reaction at ring positions adjacent to carboxylic acids. Infrared, x-ray, and computational analysis support a possible role of ligand tautomerization from mono-anionic (L,X) to neutral (L,L) coordination in the catalytic cycle of aerobic carbon-hydrogen hydroxylation reaction. The conventional site selectivity dictated by heterocycles is overturned by this catalyst, thus allowing late-stage modification of compounds of pharmaceutical interest at previously inaccessible sites.

Organic compounds with 1,3-diketone or 3-amino enone functional groups are extremely important as they can be converted into a plethora of carbo- or heterocyclic derivatives or can be used as ligands in the formation of metal complexes. Here, we have achieved the preparation of a series of non-symmetrical β-ketoenamines (O,N,N proligand) of the type (4-MeOCH)C(=O)CH=C(R)NH(Q) obtained through the Schiff base condensation of 1,3-diketones (1-anisoylacetone, 1-anisyl-3-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-propanedione, and 1-anisyl-3-(4,4,4-trifluorotolyl)-1,3-propanedione) functionalized with electron donor and electron-withdrawing substituents and 8-aminoquinoline (R = CH, 4-CHCN, 4-CHCF; Q = CHN). Schiff base ketoimines with a pendant quinolyl moiety were isolated as single regioisomers in yields of 22-56% and characterized with FT-IR, H NMR, and UV-visible spectroscopy, as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography, which allowed for the elucidation of the nature of the isolated regioisomers.

Electromerism (aka. valence tautomerism) corresponds to the switching of electronic distributions between redox-active ligands and central elements. While this phenomenon is well established for several transition metals, the Pd(0)/Pd(II) couple could not yet be involved due to the high energy of the Pd(0) state.

This study investigates the mechanism of prototropic tautomerization in metal-bound asymmetric pyrazole (R-PzH) ligands during Cu(II)-mediated PzH-MeCN coupling reactions. Intrinsic prototropic tautomerization of metal-bound ligands has not been previously documented. Various new bis-pyrazolylamidino Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(R-Pz(HNC(Me)))(ClO)], from the coupling reaction, and tetrakis pyrazole Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(R-PzH)(ClO)], with symmetric and asymmetric -monosubstituted R-PzH ligands were synthesized and characterized.

Histidine is a key amino-acid residues in proteins that can exist in three different protonation states: two different neutral tautomeric forms and a protonated, positively charged one. It can act as both donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonds, coordinate metal ions, and engage in acid/base catalysis. Human Carbonic Anhydrase II (HCA II) is a pivotal enzyme catalyzing the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide.

Coordination networks based on lanthanide ions entangle collective magnetic phenomena, otherwise only observed in inorganic 4f materials, and the tunable spatial and electronic structure engineering intrinsic to coordination chemistry. In this review, we discuss the use of 2D-structure-directing linear {LnI} nodes to direct the formation of polymeric coordination networks. The equatorial coordination plasticity of {LnI} results in broad structural diversity, including previously unobtainable tessellations containing motifs observed in quasicrystalline tilings.
