Ruthenium(ii) complexes containing functionalised β-diketonate ligands: developing a ferrocene mimic for biosensing applications

Synthesis of Heteroleptic Strontium Complexes Containing Substituted Cyclopentadienyl and β-Diketonate Ligands

Designing new ligands: asymmetric cyclopropanation by Cu(i) complexes based on functionalised pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands.

The synthesis and characterisation of copper(i) complexes, including two crystal structures of the new chiral pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands (PC-type), and their use as catalysts in asymmetric cyclopropanation reactions are reported.

RutheniumII complexes bearing fused polycyclic ligands: from fundamental aspects to potential applications.

In this review, we first discuss the photophysics reported in the literature for mononuclear ruthenium complexes bearing ligands with extended aromaticity such as dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (DPPZ), tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]-phenazine (TPPHZ),  tetrapyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c:3'',2''-h:2''',3'''-j]acridine (TPAC), 1,10-phenanthrolino[5,6-b]1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene ...

Heteroleptic strontium complexes stabilized by donor-functionalized alkoxide and β-diketonate ligands.

Heteroleptic complexes of strontium () were prepared by employing β-diketonates and donor-functionalized alkoxides as coordinating ligands. The results illustrate the effect of alkoxide substituent groups on the overall structures of the complexes. The presence of a terminal methoxy group in the alkoxide ligands leads to the formation of trimeric complexes , whereas the substituents on the amin...

In vitro anticancer activity of cis-diammineplatinum(II) complexes with β-diketonate leaving group ligands.

Five cationic platinum(II) complexes of general formula, [Pt(NH(3))(2)(β-diketonate)]X are reported, where X is a noncoordinating anion and β-diketonate = acetylacetonate (acac), 1,1,1,-trifluoroacetylacetonate (tfac), benzoylacetonate (bzac), 4,4,4-trifluorobenzoylacetonate (tfbz), or dibenzoylmethide (dbm), corresponding, respectively, to complexes 1-5. The log P values and the stabilities of...
