Reaction of the silaamidinate nickel bromide LSi(NAr)NiBrLi(thf)(OEt) (L = PhC(NBu), Ar = 2,6-iPrCH, 1) with NaHBEt led to intramolecular C-H activation with the formation of the μ-1,2-dinitrogen dinickel pincer complex [LSi(NAr)(NAr)Ni](μ-1,2-N) (Ar = 2-C(CH)-6-iPrCH, 2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2 disclosed a square planar Ni(II) atom bridged by N. Reaction of 2 with carbon monoxide and 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide yielded square planar carbonyl and isocyanide complexes 3 and 4 with release of N. These results provide new approaches for the coordination of N with nickel(II) species.

The rise of various diseases demands the development of new agents with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, enzyme-inhibiting, and cytotoxic properties. In this study, heterocyclic Schiff base complexes of Cu(II) featuring a benzo[]thiophene moiety were synthesized and their biological activities evaluated. The complexes were characterized using FT-IR, UV-Vis, and EPR spectroscopy, TG-DTG analysis, magnetic moment measurements, molar conductivity measurements, and elemental analyses.

The coordination compounds featuring a {CuO} core, typically bridged by hydroxo or alkoxo groups, are particularly intriguing due to their notable magnetic properties and catalytic activity. In this study, we explored the synthesis and characterization of four new Schiff base ligands and their subsequent complexation with Cu salts, which resulted in the formation of three tetranuclear complexes: [Cu(L)]·2HO (1), [Cu(L)(HL)](Cl)(NO)·5HO (2), and [Cu(L)] (3), as well as one dinuclear complex: [Cu(L)] (4). These tetranuclear complexes all feature a {CuO} core, but with differing coordination environments around the Cu centers.

Targeting Ru(III) and Ru(I) η2-alkyne species, 2,2'-(iPr2E)2-substituted diphenylacetylenes (1-E, E = P, As) were em-ployed for the pre-paration of [ECCE]-coordinated ruthenium com-plexes. The re-actions between 1-E and cis-(MeCN)2(COD)RuCl2 led to the required Ru(II) starting materials cis-[ECCE]RuCl2(MeCN) (3-E). Upon oxi-dation of 3-E with PhICl2, the Ru(III) target com-plexes [ECCE]RuCl3 (7-E) were detectable for E = P and E = As, but only the arsa-deriva-tive 7-As was obtained in a pure form, namely via oxi-da-tion of cis-[AsCCAs]RuCl2(THT) (THT = tetrahydrothiophene).

Electrically conductive coordination polymers (ECCPs), particularly those incorporating benzenehexathiol (BHT) ligands, are emerging as a distinctive class of electronic materials with tunable semiconducting and metallic properties. However, the exploration of novel ECCPs with low-symmetry structures and electrical anisotropy remains under development. Here, we report the on-water surface synthesis of a novel ECCP, namely Cu5BHT, which exhibits a low-symmetry structure and unique in-plane electrical anisotropy that differs from the well-known Cu3BHT phase.

Nickel complexes are a potential candidate for antibacterial and antifungal activity. A new Ni (II) complex, bis(2-methoxy-6-{[(2-methylpropyl)imino]methyl}phenolato)nickel (II) (2), was synthesised by reacting, bis(3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde)nickel (II) (1) with isobutylamine. It was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction (ScXRD), UV-Vis, NMR, IR, mass spectrometry, and thermogravimetry (TG) to study its structure and physico-chemical properties.
