Expanding the family of heterobimetallic Bi-Rh paddlewheel carboxylate complexes via equatorial carboxylate exchange.

Relationship between metal-metal bond length and internal rotation in diruthenium tetracarboxylate paddlewheel complexes.

The Ru-Ru bond length for Ru2II,III and Ru2II,II paddlewheel complexes containing the bulky carboxylate ligand 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoate was found to decrease despite a reduction in Ru-Ru bond order, due to increased internal rotation.

Unusual peroxo intermediates in the reaction of dioxygen with carboxylate-bridged diiron(II,II) paddlewheel complexes.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Properties of Amidate and Carboxylate Dimers of Ruthenium

Solvothermal and microwave-assisted methods have been used to prepare several amidate and carboxylate complexes of the type [Ru2X(μ-NHOCC6H3-3,5-(OMe)2)4]n [X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3)] and [Ru2X(μ-O2CC6H3-3,5-(OMe)2)4]n [X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6)]. Complexes 4–6 have also been obtained by conventional synthesis which is ineffective to prepare the amidate compounds. However, single crystals of co...

Synthesis and Structures of Cadmium Carboxylate and Thiocarboxylate Compounds with a Sulfur-Rich Coordination Environment: Carboxylate Exchange Kinetics Involving Tris(2-mercapto-1-t-butylimidazolyl)hydroborato Cadmium Complexes, [TmBut]Cd(O2CR)

A series of cadmium carboxylate compounds in a sulfur-rich environment provided by the tris(2-tert-butylmercaptoimidazolyl)hydroborato ligand, namely, [Tm(Bu(t))]CdO2CR, has been synthesized via the reactions of the cadmium methyl derivative [Tm(Bu(t))]CdMe with RCO2H. Such compounds mimic aspects of cadmium-substituted zinc enzymes and also the surface atoms of cadmium chalcogenide crystals, a...

Plumbum(II) and Zinc(II) Complexes with 5-Chlorosalicylic Acid: Structure and Propertie

Abstract: Two new transition metal complexes, containing the acidic ligand 5-chlorosalicylic acid (H2L5), and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） and 1,3-Di(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) as secondary ligands are reported. They are formulated as {[Pb(HL5)2(phen)(H2O)]·H2O}n(1), [Zn2(HL5)4(bpp)2]n(2). All the complexes are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Compoud 1 crystallizes in the triclini...
