Journal ArticleDOI
Structural, far-infrared and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance studies of two-co-ordinate complexes of tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine with gold(I) halides

TL;DR: AuX(tmpp) as mentioned in this paper is an isomorphous PPh3 complex with tmpp in a 1 : 1 mole ratio in solution, which can be used to synthesize the gold(I) complex [NBu4][Aul2] from metallic gold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cluster chemistry: XXXXIV. X-ray structures of [Ru3(CO)11(CNBut)] (at 130 K) and [Os3(CO)11(CNBut)] (at 295 K)

TL;DR: In this paper, single crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for [Os3(CO)11(CNBut)] at 295 K and for [Ru3( CO)11 (CNBut) at ∼ 130 K; both structures are isomorphous with the previously determined room-temperature structure for the latter, which exhibited ∼ 14% disorder in the Ru3 core.
Journal ArticleDOI
New RuII(arene) Complexes with Halogen‐Substituted Bis‐ and Tris(pyrazol‐1‐yl)borate Ligands

TL;DR: Electrochemical studies showed that the experimental isolation of the μ(3)-binuclear complex 5' (instead of the mononuclear 5) is accounted for by the low thermodynamic stability of the latter species due to steric reasons, andoretical calculations at the DFT level indicated that both oxidation and reduction of the Ru complexes under study are mostly metal-centered with some involvement of the chloride ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lanthanide(II) and -(III) porphyrinogens - rational synthesis and derivatisation of mononuclear, alkali-metal-free lanthanide(II) and -(III) meso-octaalkylporphyrinogen complexes
Jun Wang,Andrew K. J. Dick,Michael G. Gardiner,Brian F. Yates,Evan J. Peacock,Brian W. Skelton,Allan H. White +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the porphyrinogen framework is modified by trans-N,N′-dimethylation, resulting in simple and controllable derivatives that are amenable to further reaction chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Pentanuclear Cu/Co/Ni Complex with 2‐(Dimethylamino)ethanol – Observation of a Rare Molecular Structure Type and Its Place in General Structural Types: An Analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database
TL;DR: In this article, a pentanuclear molecule is formed by a previously unknown combination of incomplete cube M3(μ3-X)(μ-X)3 and triangle bipyramidal M3 (μ3X)2(μ-x)2 fragments, resulting in a zigzag arrangement of metal centers within one molecule.
