MAC it happen : Presented is a study of the synergistic structuredirecting effect of metal–amine complexes (MACs) with different chelating polyamine ligands and imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) cations. For the first time, a layered selenidostannate with an asymmetric eight-membered ring, an organic-decorated layered selenidostannate, and a 3D selenidostannate with both the MAC and IL cation...

Potential anticancer heterometallic Fe-Au and Fe-Pd agents: initial mechanistic insights.

A series of gold(III) and palladium(II) heterometallic complexes with new iminophosphorane ligands derived from ferrocenylphosphanes [{Cp-P(Ph2)═N-Ph}2Fe] (1), [{Cp-P(Ph2)═N-CH2-2-NC5H4}2Fe] (2), and [{Cp-P(Ph2)═N-CH2-2-NC5H4}Fe(Cp)] (3) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Ligands 2 and 3 afford stable coordination complexes [AuCl2(3)]ClO4, [{AuCl2}2(2)](ClO4)2, [PdCl2(3)], an...

Heterometallic Ln/Hg compounds with fluorinated thiolate ligands.

The early lanthanide benzenefluorothiolates (Ln(SC(6)F(5))(3); Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) react with Hg(SC(6)F(5))(2) in DME to form ionic heterometallic compounds with Ln cations and Hg anions. X-ray diffraction analyses of all compounds reveal an isostructural series with the general formula [(DME)(3)Ln(SC(6)F(5))(2)](2)[Hg(2)(SC(6)F(5))(6)]. In the structures, a fluorothiolate ligand has b...

Heterometallic bromo-bridged complexes with a Re(CO)3 fragment

Heterobimetallic complexes in which half-sandwich complexes of ruthenium(), rhodium() and iridium() are connected by three bromo-bridges to Re(CO)3 have been prepared from metathesis reactions of [RuBr(μ-Br)(arene)]2 (arene = C6H6, C6H3Et3-1,3,5 or p-cymene) or [MBr(μ-Br)Cp*]2 (M = Rh or Ir) with [Re(μ-Br)(CO)3(C4H8O)]2. The crystal structures of [(arene)Ru(μ-Br)3Re(CO)3] (arene = C6H6 ...
