A Stable Homoleptic Organometallic Iron(IV) Complex

Intracellular delivery of a catalytic organometallic complex.

A homogeneous carbene-based palladium catalyst was conjugated to a cell-penetrating peptide, allowing intracellular delivery of catalytically active Pd complexes that demonstrated bioorthogonal activation of a profluorophore within prostate cancer cells.

A Structurally Characterized Organometallic Plutonium(IV) Complex

The blood-red plutonocene complex Pu(1,3-COT'')(1,4-COT'') (4; COT''=η8 -bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclooctatetraenyl) has been synthesized by oxidation of the anionic sandwich complex Li[Pu(1,4-COT'')2 ] (3) with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride. The first crystal structure determination of an organoplutonium(IV) complex revealed an asymmetric sandwich structure for 4 where one COT'' ring is 1,3-substit...

Luminescence of the nonclassical homoleptic metal carbonyl complex [Rh(CO4]+.

The nonclassical [Rh(CO)(4)](+) cation is luminescent at low temperature with a peak maximum at 19640 cm(-1) and a full-width at half-maximum of 2900 cm(-1). Both the solution absorption and low-temperature solid-state luminescence spectra of the [Rh(CO)(4)](1-Et-CB(11)F(11)) salt are reported. The cesium salt of the [1-Et-CB(11)F(11)](-) counterion is also luminescent (with a peak maximum at 2...

Cooperative tandem catalysis by an organometallic complex and a metalloenzyme.

Although chemical and enzymatic catalysts have been combined, reactions in which an organometallic catalyst and a metalloenzyme work cooperatively to create products, which cannot be generated with either catalyst alone or in comparable yields by sequential reactions of the two catalysts, have not been reported. Such reactions are challenging to achieve, in part because the milieu in which thes...
