The title compound, [Re(4)(μ(3)-OH)(4)(CO)(12)]·4C(5)H(5)N, crystallizes with one tetranuclear rhenium(I) cubane-like molecule and four pyridine mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The coordination environment of each Re(I) atom is distorted octahedral. Four intra-molecular O-H⋯N and four inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter-actions are observed. Relatively strong hydrogen bonds are found b...

Herein we report the intramolecular arene C-H and C-F bond oxygenation by tetranuclear iron complexes. Treatment of [LFe3(PhPz)3OFe][OTf]2 (1) or its fluorinated analog [LFe3(F2ArPz)3OFe][OTf]2 (5) with iodosobenzene results in the regioselective hydroxylation of a bridging pyrazolate ligand, converting a C-H or C-F bond into a C-O bond. The observed reactivity suggests the formation of termina...

Cationic tetranuclear arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula [Ru4(p-cymene)4(N N)2(dhnq)2] comprising rectangular structures are obtained in methanol from the reaction of the dinuclear arene ruthenium precursor [Ru2(p-cymene)2(dhnq)2Cl2] (dhnq = 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinonato) with pyrazine or bipyridine linkers [N N = pyrazine, 1; 4,4 -bipyridine, 2; 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, 3...

The title compound, [Sb(4)(C(6)H(5))(8)O(4)(O(2))(2)]·2CHCl(3), contains a tetranuclear antimony(V) core, bridged by oxide and peroxide ligands. Two cores form centrosymmetric dimers by intermolecular C-H⋯O contacts. These dimeric units are further connected by chloro-form solvent mol-ecules involved in C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions into strands along [010]. The five-membered Sb(2)O(3) rings i...

The synthesis and characterization of novel tetranuclear and octanuclear iron(III) complexes with structures based on a nearly square arrangement of four iron ions are reported. Reaction of ferric nitrate, sodium acetate, and the unsymmetrical binucleating ligand HBMDP, where HBMDP is N,N,N'-tris((N-methyl)-2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-N'-methyl-1,3-diamino-2-propanol, in acetone/water yields the te...
