Organometallic materials for non-linear optics. Second harmonic generation by

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of (aryldiazovinylidene) ruthenium complex salts of general formula [Ru(CCPhN ǫ nAr)(PPh3)2(η-C5H5)][X] has been synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visible and Near-Infrared Emission from Lanthanoid β-Triketonate Assemblies Incorporating Cesium Cations

TL;DR: Efficient sensitization for all three lanthanoids and bright near-infrared emission for Er3+ and Yb3+, a characteristic that seems to be linked to the specific chemical structure of the β-triketonate ligands are confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convenient synthetic routes to MePdII, Me2PdII, and Me3PdIV complexes. The crystal structure of the MePdII complex [MePd(2,2′-bipyridyl)(γ-picoline)]BF4

TL;DR: The pyridazine complex [Me2Pd(pyd)]n, stable as a solid on storage at ca. −20°C and obtained on reaction of trans-PdCl2(SMe2)2 pyridine at low temperature, is an excellent precursor for the synthesis of Me2pdII and Me3PdIV complexes under mild conditions, in p Similarly, [MePdSMe 2)(μ-I)]2 is a suitable precursor for synthesis of neutral and cationic MePdII complexes, including [

Oligomerisation of alkynes at a pentamethylcyclopentadienylruthenium centre

TL;DR: In this article, reactions between the neutral vinylidene RuCl(CCHPh)(PPh3)Cp*======672 and AgCCCO2Me gave Ru{η1-C(CCPh) CHC(O)OMe-O}(PPh2Cp*)672, while either LiCCPh or HCCPh/NaOMe afforded the known Ru{ η3-PhCHCHCHC CPh(CCP)
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of the silicone poly(dimethylsiloxane) by thallium(I) ethoxide into the ladder polymer [{Tl2(OSiMe2)O}2]n; X-ray structure of the product and of thallium(I) triphenylsilanolate

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that treating silicone grease with an excess of TlOEt in PhMe at ambient temperature instantly yields the poly(thalliodimethylsiloxane)[{Tl2(OSiMe2)2O}2]n which, like [Tl(µ3-OSiPh3)]4, has been characterised by X-ray crystallography; both structures contain Tl4O4 cuboids.
