Synthesis, Electrochemical Properties and Spectroscopic Studies of Mono and Dinuclear Zn(II) Polypyridyl Complexes with Phenylcyanamide Ligands

Several novel mononuclear Zn(II) complexes, [Zn(bpy)L2], where bpy=2,2’-bipyridine and L=monoanions of phenylcyanamide (pcyd), 4-methylphenylcyanamide (4-Mepcyd), 3,5-dimethylphenylcyanamide(3,5-Me2pcyd),4-methoxyphenylcyanamide(4-MeOpcyd), 3,5-dimeth-oxyphenylcyanamide (3,5-MeO2pcyd), 3-chlorophenylcyanamide (3-Clpcyd), 2,3-dichlo...

Developing synthetic approaches with non-innocent metalloligands: easy access to Ir(I)/Pd(0) and Ir(I)/Pd(0)/Ir(I) cores.

The development of new, efficient and selective synthetic methods is one of the major goals for future research in chemistry. An important and long-standing challenge in this field is to couple catalytic reactions with redox processes, which is expected to lead to interesting new reactions enabling (radical-type) transformations for substrates that are more difficult or impossible to activate o...

Ruthenium Complexes with Non-Innocent Quinonoid, Quinoline- 5,8-dione and Iminoquinone Ligands: Synthesis, Structure, Redox Properties and Electron Distribution

Polynuclear carbon-rich organometallic complexes: clarification of the role of the bridging ligand in the redox properties.

In this Perspective, we highlight the non-innocent behaviour of the bridging ligand in organometallic polynuclear metallic complexes displaying metal-carbon σ bonds between the metallic units and a strongly coupled conjugated carbon-rich bridging ligand. With the help of representative experimental and theoretical studies on polymetallic systems, but also on monometallic complexes, we point out...

Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Acetaminophen at Poly(4-vinyl pyridine)/Graphene Composite Modified Electrode

This study demonstrates the use of a selective and sensitive voltammetric sensor for determination of acetaminophen (AC). This was  performed by modifying a glassy carbon electrode with composite film of poly(4-vinylpyridine) and graphene sheet (P4VP/GR-GCE). The redox peak currents of AC increased significantly at P4VP/GR-GCE. The result was achieved by the synergistic effect of combined elect...
