Expanded redox accessibility via ligand substitution in an octahedral Fe6Br6 cluster.

Synthesis, Characterization and X-Ray Crystal Structure of a Cobalt(III) Complex with 2-Bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4,5-dimethylbenzene Ligand

An octahedral cobalt(III) complex, trans-[(Me2bpb)Co(bzlan)2]ClO4 (1), with H2Me2bpb = N,N’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of this complex has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The Me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

Octahedral niobium cluster-based solid state halides and oxyhalides: effects of the cluster condensation via an oxygen ligand on electronic and magnetic properties

CHEM3012 - Core Chemistry 3 Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms

The substitution of ligands in octahedral metal complexes is the most extensively mechanistically studied inorganic reaction. It is of fundamental importance, and a number of important observations and results are found. Substitution in octahedral systems was initially studied for classical coordination complexes in aqueous solutions. More recently some important observations have been made reg...

Preparation of Nickel Nanoparticles by Intramolecular Reaction of Nickel(II) Hydrazine Complex in the Solid State at Room Temperature

Ni6(N2H4)6(SO4)4(OH)2(H2O)8](SO4)(H2O)10 complex was prepared according to literature report. The reaction between aforementioned complex via sodium alkoxides as a reactants, were carried out in the solid state. The [Ni6(N2H4)6(SO4)4(OH)2(H2O)8](SO4)(H2O)10 undergoes an intramolecular two electrons oxidation-reduction reaction at room temperature and metallic nickel nanoparticles (Ni1-Ni5) was ...

Octahedral to trigonal prismatic distortion driven by subjacent orbital π antibonding interactions and modulated by ligand redox noninnocence.

Ru(ONO)2 and Os(ONO)2 distort from octahedral towards trigonal prismatic geometry in order to relieve π antibonding due to donation from the second-highest ligand orbital to the metal. Increasing oxidation of the ONO ligand suppresses distortion by increasing σ* interactions in the trigonal prism.
