Rational selection of metal ions and organic ligands to synthesize metal-organic complexes (MOCs) is necessary for constructing multifunctional materials. Herein, we have obtained a novel heterotrimetallic ZnDyIr pentanuclear MOC by the assembly of Dy, luminescent Zn(valpn), and [Ir(HL)(ppy)]Cl metalloligands (Hppy = 2-phenylpyridine, HL = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-di--benzoic acid). Single-crystal structural analysis shows that the central [Ir(L)(ppy)] bridges two ZnDy moieties using two carboxylates of L. Measurements of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) show that the maximum luminance is 284.2 cd/m and the turn-on voltage is 6 V. Magnetic studies reveal that ZnDyIr is a field-induced single-molecule magnet (SMM) with an energy barrier of 19.1(2) K under a 2 kOe dc field. ZnDyIr shows luminescence sensing with a quenching efficiency of up to 99.0% for 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP).

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.
