Topological analysis of the metal-metal bond: A tutorial review

TL;DR: In this paper, the topological methods of analysis of the electron density and related functions such as the electron localization function (ELF) and the electron localizability indicator (ELI-D) enable the theoretical characterization of various metal-metal (M-M) bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imidazoliophosphines are true N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-phosphenium adducts.

TL;DR: Cleavage of a C-P bond with the weak Cl(-) nucleophile to release the reactive NHC moiety is a definite experimental indication of the dative nature of the N(2)C-P Bond of amidiniophosphines, which are better described as NHC→phosphenium adducts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Second-order nonlinear optics in coordination chemistry: An open door towards multi-functional materials and molecular switches

TL;DR: In this paper, various inorganic and organometallic complexes exhibiting quadratic nonlinear optical properties (i.e., linearly correlated to the square of the electric field E2) are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

“Carbo-aromaticity” and novel carbo-aromatic compounds

TL;DR: This work serves as a general foundation for the definition of "carbo-aromaticity", the relevance of which is surveyed through recent results in the synthetic, physical, and theoretical chemistry of carbo-mers and in particular macrocyclic-polycyclic representatives constituting a natural family of "novel aromatic compounds".
Journal ArticleDOI

P(CH)P Pincer Rhodium(I) Complexes: The Key Role of Electron-Poor Imidazoliophosphine Extremities

TL;DR: The coordination chemistry of a potentially pincer-type dicationic meta-phenylene-bis(imidazoliophosphine) ligand 3 to neutral and cationic carbonylrhodium(I) centers has been investigated and two alternative pathways are proposed to explain the formation of the "open pincers" complex.
