The synthesis and characterization of a series of Cr(II) N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) complexes of the type [{Cr(NHC)Cl(μ-Cl)}] and [(Cyp)Cr(NHC)X] (Cyp = η-CH, cyclopentadienyl; η-CMe, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; X = Cl, η-CH; NHC = IMe, IiPr, IMes, IDipp) as well as the cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene cAAC ligated complexes [(η-CH)Cr(cAAC)X] (X = Cl, NPh), [(η-CH)Cr(cAAC)Cl] (CH = Ind, indenyl) and [(η-CH)Cr(cAAC)Cl] (CH = Fl, fluorenyl) are reported. The reduction of [(η-CMe)Cr(IMe)Cl] with KC in the presence of CO afforded the NHC ligated Cr(I) metallo-radical [(η-CMe)Cr(IMe)(CO)]. Quantum chemical calculations performed on [(η-CMe)Cr(IMe)(CO)] confirm for this complex a predominantly chromium centered radical.

The strict connections/interactions between microbial infections and cancer are nowadays widely accepted. Hence, the dual (or multiple) targeting of microbial infections and cancer is an essential issue to be addressed. In this context, metal complexes have gained considerable importance and effectiveness in medicinal chemistry.

An -heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of alkynyl acylazoliums with benzothiazole derivatives has been developed for the divergent synthesis of axially chiral triaryl 2-pyranones and fused 2-pyridones. The regioselectivity of this protocol depends on the structure of benzothiazoles with three different nucleophilic centers. The obtained axially chiral frameworks represent a new class of arylheterocycle atropisomers, which may be potentially useful in medicinal chemistry.

Open metal sites are crucial in catalysis. We have used a "loose coordination strategy" (LCS) to preorganize open metal sites in gold cluster catalysts. A gold nanocluster with composition of [Au26(3,4-Me2-Ph-form)9(iPr2-imy)3(Me2S)](BF4)2(iPr2-imy = 1,3-Diisopropylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 3,4-Me2-Ph-form = N,N'-Di(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)formamidine) (Au26) has been obtained by one pot synthesis, i.

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography has enabled significant reductions in device dimensions but is often limited by capillary force-driven pattern collapse in conventional wet processes. Recent dry-development approaches, while promising, frequently require toxic etchants or specialized equipment, limiting their broader applicability and highlighting the need for more sustainable, cost-effective alternatives. In this study, highly reactive, etchant-free dry-developable EUV photoresists using N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based metal-ligand complexes, achieving half-saturation at EUV doses of 8.

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters display high stability and high photoluminescence, making them well-suited for fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapeutic applications. We report herein the synthesis of two bisNHC-protected Au nanoclusters with π-extended aromatic systems. Depending on the position of the π-extended aromatic system, changes to the structure of the ligand shell in the cluster are observed, with the ability to correlate increases in rigidity with increases in fluorescence quantum yield.
