Two tris-chelate complexes of cobalt and rhodium and two complexes of Ru(II) of dithiocarbamate, [SCNH], were synthesized. The complexes were spectroscopically characterized by IR, NMR, UV-vis, and MS and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The structural features of the rhodium complex were compared to those of other tris-chelate Rh(III) dithiocarbamate complexes and are characterized by a change in the ground-state geometry in comparison to expected octahedral tris-chelate complexes. This was confirmed both experimentally by X-ray diffraction and theoretically using DFT calculations. The inversion barriers of Rh(Bzdtc), Ir(Bzdtc), and Rh(Etdtc) were determined using VT-NMR in DMSO. These barriers were found to be surprisingly low for heavy group 9 elements of d tris-chelate complexes: values of 16.7, 17.1, and 16.4 kcal/mol were calculated, respectively. By comparing structural features, we are able to determine that the activation barrier for the inversion of stereochemistry of Rh(Hdtc) must have a similarly low value. A modified version of the Bailar twist involving an intermediate with geometry was proposed as the mechanism of inversion.

The homoleptic hydroxy-pyridine functionalized Co(III)-NHC complex (2) demonstrates extraordinary catalytic activity towards the CO cycloaddition under mild conditions. Using this catalyst and TBAB, the highest TON (666 667) and TOF (52 713 h) were achieved compared to previously reported cobalt catalysts.

Optically active functional noncentrosymmetric architectures might be achieved through the combination of molecules with inscribed optical responses and species of dedicated tectonic character. Herein, we present the new series of noncentrosymmetric cocrystal salt solvates (PPh)[M(CN)](L)·solv (M = Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(III); L = polyresorcinol coformers, multiple hydrogen bond donors: 3,3',5,5'-tetrahydroxy-1,19-biphenyl, DiR, = 2, or 5'-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,3″,5,5″-tetrahydroxy-1,19:3',1″-terphenyl, TriRB, = 1) denoted as and , respectively. The hydrogen-bonded subnetworks {[M(CN)];L} of , , or topology are formed through structural matching between building blocks within supramolecular -bis(chelate)-like {[M(CN)];(L)(L)} or tris(chelate)-like {[M(CN)];(L)} fragments.

New mono-, bis-, and tris-chelate Zn(II) complexes have been synthesized starting from different Zn(II) salts and employing a fluorescent 1,3-substituted-imidazo[1,5-]pyridine as a chelating ligand. The products have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; mass spectrometry; and vibrational spectroscopy. The optical properties have been investigated to compare the performances of mono-, bis-, and tris-chelate forms.

We describe a family of dicationic heteroleptic complexes of the type [Pt(pbt)(N^N)]Q, bearing two cyclometalating 2-phenylbenzothiazole (pbt) groups and a N^N phenanthroline-based ligand [N^N = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) 4, pyrazino[2,3-][1,10]-phenanthroline (pyraphen) 5, 5-amine-1,10-phenanthroline (NH-phen) 6], with two different counteranions (Q = CFCO and PF). Complexes 4-6-PF6 and 4-6-CF3CO2 were obtained through ligand substitution from -[Pt(pbt)Cl] 2 and -[Pt(pbt)(OCOF)] 3, respectively. The molecular structures of 2, 3 and 4-PF6 and the photophysical and electrochemical properties of all complexes were studied in detail.
