Cluster chemistry: LXXV. Tetra-, penta- and hepta-nuclear clusters derived from {Ru4(μ-H)4(CO)11}2(μ-dppa) [dppa C2(PPh2)2]: X-ray structures of Ru4(μ-H)[μ3-HC2PPh2{Ru4(μ-H)4 (CO)11}](μ-PPh2)(μ-CO)(CO)9 and Ru7(μ-H)3(μ5-HC2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(CO)16

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction between C2(PPh2)2 and Ru4(μ-H)4(CO)12 gave the Ru7 cluster, which on heating formed initially the hydrido-μ3-alkyne bis-Ru4 cluster Ru7(μ)-H)3(μ5-HC2PPh 2)(μ-PPh(2)-CO)16 (3), and the core in 3 has a new geometry, consisting of an Ru4 tetrahedron sharing an apical Ru atom with a C2Ru
Journal ArticleDOI

Proton Controlled Supramolecular Assembly: A Comparative Structural Study of Bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazolo)nickel(II) with Bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazole)nickel(II) Nitrate and 2-guanidinobenzimidazole

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that ligand deprotonation to yield bis(2-guanidinobenzimidazolo)nickel(II) restores much of the original hydrogen bonding capability of the uncomplexed ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cobalt(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of a novel homoleptic thioether cage

TL;DR: In this paper, low-spin hexadentate cobalt(II) and cobalt-III complexes of the hexathioether cage (1,8-dimethyl-3,6,10,13,16,19-hexathiabicyclo[6.6]icosarie) have been synthesised, their redox and spectral properties have been investigated, and the encapsulation of the cobalt ion has been established by an X-ray crystal structure determination, which shows the metal ion to be coordinated to six thioether sulphur atoms at
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereochemistry and cycloaddition of 1,1,3-trioxy butadienes from β-keto esters

TL;DR: In this paper, the 1,1,3-trioxy dienes were characterized using spectroscopic analysis and characterisation of derived cycloadducts and crystallographic analysis of one of them.
