Enantiopure -stereogenic methylphosphane-boranes ()-P(BH)PhArMe (; Ar = 1-naphthyl (NpMe), and 2-biphenylyl (BiphMe)) have been used to prepare diphosphanes of the type ArPhPCHPR (R = Ph, iPr or Bu; ). The ligands have been reacted with [Rh(COD)]BF to furnish the corresponding six monochelated [Rh(COD)()]BF organometallic compounds (RhArR) or, depending on the reaction conditions, the bis(chelated) coordination compound [Rh()]BF as a mixture of and isomers. The crystal structure of -[Rh()]BF was obtained. The coordination of the BiphR with [RuCl(μ-Cl)(η--cymene)] under different conditions produced cationic chelated complexes of the type [RuCl(η--cymene)(κ-)]PF (RuBiphR) and the neutral monocoordinated complex [RuCl(η--cymene)(κ-)] (RuBiphPh') with the uncoordinated -stereogenic moiety. The Rh(I) complexes were used in the catalytic hydrogenation of functionalized olefins and the Ru(II) complexes were tested in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. Both precursors displayed good activities with moderate enantioselectivities.

Over the past few decades, the merger of photocatalysis and transition metal-based catalysis or self-photoexcitation of transition metals has emerged as a useful tool in organic transformations. In this context, cobalt-based systems have attracted significant attention as sustainable alternatives to the widely explored platinum group heavy metals (iridium, rhodium, ruthenium) for photocatalytic chemical transformations. This review encompasses the basic types of cobalt-based homogeneous photocatalytic systems, their working principles, and the recent developments (2018-2024) in C-X (X = C, N, O, H, Si) bond formations.

Azo dye was used to prepare a new series of complexes with chlorides of rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), and corona (Au). The prepared materials were subjected to infrared, ultraviolet-visible, and mass spectrometry, as well as thermogravimetric analysis, differential calorimetry, and elemental analysis. Conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, metal content, and chlorine content of the complexes were also measured.

Due to the presence of the pyridyl directing group, -aryl-2-aminopyridines can quickly form stable complexes with metals, leading to cyclization and functionalization reactions. A large number of N-heterocycles and nitrogen-based molecules can be easily constructed this direct and atom-economical cross-coupling strategy. In this review, we have highlighted the transformations of -aryl-2-aminopyridines in the presence of various transition metal catalysts, such as palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, cobalt and copper.

Effective light-based cancer treatments, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), rely on compounds that are activated by light efficiently, and absorb within the therapeutic window (600-850 nm). Traditional prediction methods for these light absorption properties, including Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), are often computationally intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we explore a machine learning (ML) approach to predict the light absorption in the region of the therapeutic window of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, and rhodium complexes, aiming at streamlining the screening of potential photoactivatable prodrugs.

In light of the extensive applications of sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds in drug discovery, agrochemicals, and advanced materials, the construction of complex sulfur-containing molecular scaffolds has flourished in recent years. There is a profound interest in synthetic methods for forming carbon-sulfur bonds. Regarding this, transition metal (TM)-catalyzed C-H bond activation has emerged as a valuable means for the rapid formation of C-S bonds, although it is comparatively less explored than C-N or C-C bonds.
