Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The factor that controls the activity of these chelates is not fully understood but parameters such as redox potentials of the metal and electronic structure appear to be crucial as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The reaction chemistry of nitriles with transition metal complexes is reviewed in this paper, where the authors survey data published during the period 1977-early 1994 on new reaction processes such as insertion into metal-hydrogen and carbon bonds, coupling between one nitrile and an unsaturated metal fragment, reduction to amines, attack by protic and aprotic nucleophiles and electrophilic attack as well as some catalytic transformations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a spectroscopic and structural investigation of binuclear silver(I) complexes supported by aliphatic phosphine ligands, namely [Ag(PCy3)(O2CCF3)]2 (1), [Ag2(μ-dcpm)2]X2 (X = CF3SO3, 2; PF6, 3; dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane), and [Ag 2(mdcpm)(μ-O2ccF3] (4), is described.
Abstract: A spectroscopic and structural investigation of binuclear silver(I) complexes supported by aliphatic phosphine ligands, namely [Ag(PCy3)(O2CCF3)]2 (1), [Ag2(μ-dcpm)2]X2 (X = CF3SO3, 2; PF6, 3; dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane), and [Ag2(μ-dcpm)(μ-O2CCF3)2] (4), is described. X-ray structural analyses of 1−4 reveal Ag−Ag separations of 3.095(1), 2.948 (av), 2.923 (av), and 2.8892(9) A, respectively. Due to the optical transparency of the phosphine ligands, the UV−vis absorption band at 261 nm in CH3CN for 2 and 3 is assigned to a 4dσ* → 5pσ transition originating from Ag(I)−Ag(I) interactions. The argentophilic nature of this band is verified by the resonance Raman spectrum of 2 with 273.9 nm excitation, where virtually all of the Raman intensity appears in the Ag−Ag stretch fundamental (80 cm-1) and overtone bands. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibit photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature.
