Polyaurated complexes of the dimethylsulfoximide anion [Me2S(0 )N]_ have been prepared by reacting N-trimethylsilyl-dimethylsulfoximide with [(Ph3P)Au]BF4 in various molar ratios. With one or two equivalents of the gold(I) reagent only the dinuclear complex is obtained in high yield: {[(Ph3P)Au]2NS(0 )Me2}+ BF4. With three or four equivalents only the trinuclear complex is produced: {[(Ph3P)Au]...

N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs) are naturally occurring derivatives of phosphatidylethanolmine (PE) in which the PE amino group is attached to an acyl chain. Given their occurrence in natural systems, there is interest in knowing the effect of NAPEs on membrane dynamic structure and function. This study examines the ability of NAPEs to affect the association of the cytochrome c and Zn-h...

In the title compound, [Fe(2)(C(7)H(13)NS(2))(C(26)H(24)P(2))(CO)(4)], the Fe(2)S(2) core exhibits a butterfly-like shape, with two S atoms bridging the Fe-Fe dumbbell. Each of the two Fe atoms exhibits a distorted octa-hedral environment. One Fe atom is additionally bonded to three carbonyl C atoms, whereas the other Fe atom is additionally bonded to one carbonyl C atom and two P atoms of the ...

A thiocyanate poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode based on [1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]dihalopalladium(II), [(dppe)PdX2, X = Cl (L), X = I (L)] as active sensor has been developed. The diiodopalladium complex, [(dppe)PdI2](L) displays an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence: SCN‒ > I‒ > ClO4‒ > Sal‒ > Br‒ > NO2‒ > HPO4‒ > AcO‒ > NO3‒ > H2PO4‒ > CO32‒. The electrode exhibits a Ne...

Carbocylization of o-halophenyl ketones with propiolates in the presence of Ni(dppe)Br2 and Zn powder in acetonitrile at 80 degrees C afforded the corresponding 2,3-disubstituted indenols.

Trimethylsilylphosphaalkyne binds readily to a variety of transition metals. Binding can take place using either the end-on or side-on mode and to either mononuclear or multinuclear metal complexes. The synthesis, structure and characterisation of eight such complexes, [Cp(2)Zr(PMe(3))(Me(3)SiC≡P)], [(C(6)F(5))(2)FB(C(6)F(4))PCSiMe(3))ZrCp(2)(PMe(3))], [(C(6)F(5))(2)XB(C(6)F(4))(ZrCp(2))(2)P(2)...

Dipolar molecular crystals present different physical properties from traditionally strongly correlated ionic solid-state inorganic crystals due to the weak intermolecular bonding. Herein, centrosymmetric dipolar molecular crystals of the organoruthenium complex trans-[Ru(C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(C≡CPh)(dppe)2] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] display a large electric-field-induced strain behavi...
