Multinuclear precious metal sandwich complexes containing an asymmetric center in the cluster were synthesized as described by Shinnosuke Horiuchi, Keisuke Umakoshi, and co-workers Research Article on page 10654. Reversible multipoint coordination core can endow them with a remarkable stability, allowing separation of enantiomers detection chiroptical properties solution.

Various photofunctional metal complexes with functional groups, i.e. bromo and vinyl groups, were integrated into hetero-multinuclear complexes using the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The obtained trinuclear complexes absorb a wide range of visible light and have a long excited state lifetime and the photocatalytic ability to obtain CO2 reduction.

A platinum Chugaev complex was synthesised and fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. This cis bis acyclic diamino carbene complex acts as a cytotoxic compound and behaves as a cisplatin equivalent by interacting with supercoiled DNA and thiols. Stability of the ligand is also discussed.

The UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase LpxC catalyzes the committed reaction of lipid A biosynthesis, an essential pathway in Gram-negative bacteria. We report the backbone resonance assignments of the 34 kDa LpxC from Escherichia coli in complex with the antibiotic L-161,240 using multidimensional, multinuclear NMR experiments. The H chemical shifts of complexed L-1...
