TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis pathway towards Pd-II complexes of functionalized bidentate diphenylphosphane ligands of the type [Pd(ligand)(anion)(2)] and [pd[ligand]-(anion)-2] has been investigated.

TL;DR: Several heteromultimetallic pincer-porphyrin hybrids have been prepared in excellent yields by stepwise metalation of a general precursor, [2H(Br(NCN))(4)], which was designed in such a way so as to guarantee selectivity for either the porphyrin or pincers sites during the metalation steps.

TL;DR: The application of bis-(thiosemicarbazonato) Zn(II) complexes as building blocks in the construction of supramolecular transition metal assemblies is reported and their coordination behaviour towards pyridylphosphine molecules is investigated.

TL;DR: Density functional theory calculations show a preferred bent geometry for the model complex [CpIr=PH], in contrast to the linear structure of [C pIr=NH], which arises because of the large steric congestion in [[Cp*Ir=PAr]2], which forces it toward a more reactive planar structure that is apt to rearrange.
