Novel monometallic (μ-LL')Ru, Ru(μ-LL'), homobimetallic Ru(μ-LL')Ru, and heterodimetallic Ru(μ-LL')Os and Os(μ-LL')Ru complexes based on two asymmetrical ligands LL' (where LL' = LL, LL) have been synthesized and characterized. Spectroscopic analysis indicates that all complexes exhibit intense spin-allowed ligand-centered (LC) transitions at 288 nm and Ru-based moderate spin-allowed MLCT absorption between 440-450 nm. The Ru(μ-LL')Os and Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes show Os-based unit absorption in the range of 565-583 nm. The Ru-based units of the complexes present different emission intensities due to differing steric hindrance at the coordination sites of the two bridging ligands. The Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes present weaker emission intensity than their parent monometallic complexes (μ-LL')Ru. These results indicate that the emission of Os(μ-LL')Ru dinuclear complexes is quenched by the Os(II)-based units.

Dinuclear iridium complexes ligated by lithium-ion endohedral fullerene Li@C.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, Sendai 980-8578, Japan.

The diiridium complexes of lithium-ion endohedral fullerene Li@C were synthesised in high yields. X-ray crystallography revealed the η:η-coordination of Li@C and the disorder of the Li ion over two sites close to the coordinated carbons. C NMR study suggested the presence of dynamic behaviour haptotropic rearrangements.

Bisquinoline-based fluorescent cadmium sensors.

Dalton Trans

January 2025

Laboratory for Molecular & Functional Design, Department of Engineering, Nara Women's University, Nara 630-8506, Japan.

Rational molecular design afforded fluorescent Cd sensors based on bisquinoline derivatives. Introduction of three methoxy groups at the 5,6,7-positions of the quinoline rings of BQDMEN (,'-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-,'-dimethylethylenediamine) resulted in the reversal of metal ion selectivity in fluorescence enhancement from zinc to cadmium. Introduction of bulky alkyl groups and an ,-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)amine structure, as well as replacement of one of the two tertiary amine binding sites with an oxygen atom and the use of a 1,2-phenylene backbone significantly improved the Cd specificity.

The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe(BNPAO)(F) () and [Fe(BNPAOH)(F)(THF)](BF) (), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either or led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe(BNPAO)(F)(μ-F)] (), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe(BNPAO)(I) (), was prepared and reacted with O to give the mononuclear complex -Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(I) ().

Anilido-oxazoline-ligated iron complexes, including bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron(II), mononuclear iron(II) alkyl and aryloxide, as well as the dinuclear analogues, were synthesized, and their catalytic performance on ring-opening polymerization (ROP) has been studied. Transmetalation of FeCl(THF) with in situ-generated anilido-oxazolinate lithium afforded the bis(anilido-oxazolinate) iron complexes and . Half-sandwich anilido-oxazolinate iron trimethylsilylalkyl complexes and could be synthesized in good yields via taking pyridine as an L-type ligand.

Crystal structures and photophysical properties of mono- and dinuclear Zn complexes flanked by tri-ethyl-ammonium.

Acta Crystallogr E Crystallogr Commun

Two new zinc(II) complexes, tri-ethyl-ammonium di-chlorido-[2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-olato]zinc(II), (CHN){Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), and bis-(tri-ethyl-ammonium) {2,2'-[1,4-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolato}bis-[di-chlorido-zinc(II)], (CHN)[Zn(CHNO)Cl] (), were synthesized and their structures were determined using ESI-MS spectrometry, H NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the ligands 2-(4-nitro-phen-yl)-4-phenyl-quinolin-8-ol () and ,'-bis-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)benzene-1,4-di-amine () were deprotonated by tri-ethyl-amine, forming the counter-ion EtNH, which inter-acts an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the ligand. The Zn atoms have a distorted trigonal-pyramidal () and distorted tetra-hedral () geometries with a coord-ination number of four, coordinating with the ligands N and O atoms.
