TL;DR: In this article, a bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium CNC-pincer complexes (Ru-CNCs) were prepared.

TL;DR: The reactivity of the bifunctionalized ligand NC(Br)N-I 1 has been studied as a versatile synthon for organic and/or organometallic synthesis, revealing the remarkable stability of their M-C sigma-bond and opening an easy route for the synthesis of mono- and (hetero)bimetallic building blocks.

TL;DR: The synthesis of bis(formazanate) zinc complexes is described, which have well-behaved redox-chemistry, with the ligands functioning as a reversible electron reservoir and the stability of these ligand-based radicals is a result of the delocalization of the unpaired electron over four nitrogen atoms in the ligand backbone.

TL;DR: The mononuclear iron(III)-tetrachlorocatecholato complex was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which shows a facial N,N,O capping mode of the ligand, which is a new example to the small group of synthetic iron complexes capable of eliciting extradiol-type cleavage and provide more insight into the factors determining the regioselectivity of the enzymes.

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of a dimeric structure of a nonsymmetric Zn(II)salphen complex is reported and the X-ray molecular structure shows the formation an oxygen-bridged species.
