TL;DR: Complex 1 represents a unique example of a fluoride sensor wherein selective F- binding takes place directly at a transition-metal center and induces a color change based upon metal-centered transitions.

TL;DR: It was revealed that the aromaticity of the 4,4'-bipyridine ligand, that had been disrupted upon reduction, had been regained and should be considered as a potential intermediate in the plethora of reactions wherein Ti(N[(t)Bu]Ar)3 has been shown to effect the reduction of substrates including halogenated organic molecules, carbonyl compounds, organic nitriles, and metal complexes.

TL;DR: Computational studies indicate that the oxygen-atom transfer reactions involve penta-coordinated phosphorus intermediates that have four-membered {PONC} cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the resistance of three-coordinate Mo[N(tBu)Ar]3 to C-N bond cleavage in a mixed-metal [H2N]3Re+/CN+/W[NH2]3 system and showed that the final cleavage step is endothermic by at least 90 kJ mol−1 when symmetry constraints are relaxed.
