TL;DR: The first crystal structures of lipases that have been covalently modified through site-selective inhibition by different organometallic phosphonate-pincer-metal complexes are described, which shows the potential use of pincher-platinum complex 1 as a heavy-atom derivative in protein crystallography.

TL;DR: The binuclear Ru(II) μ2-dinitrogen complex [{RuCl2(η3-NN‘N)}2(μ-N2)] (1, NNN = 2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]pyridine) is an excellent starting material for the synthesis of mononuclear η2-alkene.

TL;DR: These studies showed that the coordination environment of 1 and 2 observed in the solid state is maintained in solution, and the coordinated tertiary amine donors in complexes 3-5 are of opposite configuration as in complexes 1 and2.

TL;DR: In this article, Meulemans and van Meersche showed that the Li+ cation has drastic effects on the conformation of the peptide backbone and that the donor atom strength towards Li+ may be established for these ligands.

TL;DR: Three new asymmetric platinum(II) complexes comprising an isopropylamine ligand trans to an azole ligand were synthesized and fully characterized by (1)H NMR, (195)Pt N MR, IR and elemental analysis, illustrating how platinum complexes of trans geometry can show improved activity compared to cis Platin in both cisplatin sensitive and cisplats resistant cell lines.
