Synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of a hetero-dicopper complex, particularly towards oxygen reduction are presented. A bischlorido copper(II) trishistidine-type coordination unit is positioned directly above copper porphyrin unit. The close distance between the two fragments secured by rigid xanthene backbone. Surprisingly, dinuclear complex not active unlike earlier published ...

Dicopper(i) complexes with the chelating dmapm ligand [dmapm = 1,1-bis{di(o-N,N-dimetylanilinyl)phosphino}methane] have been synthesized and characterized structurally. Synthesis of the acetonitrile adduct [Cu2(μ-dmapm)(CH3CN)2][BF4]2 () has been presented and the dicopper electrophile has been used as the starting material in reaction with Group 14 heteroborates. Coordination of the closo-bora...

The design and synthesis of dinuclear-lanthanide complexes possessing triazole-based bridges, formed by using copper catalysed 1,3-cycloaddition reactions between heptadentate alkyne functionalised cyclen europium or terbium complexes and di-azides (CuAAC reactions), are described. While this click reaction worked well for the formation of the homo-Eu(III) and Tb(III) bis-tri-arm cyclen N,N-dim...

The syntheses of two new ligands, 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-oxadiazole (dpo) and 3,4-di(2-pyridyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole (dpt), are described. Complexes with palladium and copper have seven-membered chelate rings with coordination through the two pyridine nitrogens, whereas in the silver nitrate complex of dpt the ligand acts as a bridge between metal centres. Studies of the mononuclear ruthenium com...

MagSaki software was developed for the magnetic analysis of dinuclear high-spin cobalt(II) complexes. This software performs magnetic analysis to determine magnetic parameters using several types of theoretical calculations, such as the following: (1) a mononuclear complex in an isotropic octahedral field, (2) a mononuclear complex in an axially distorted octahedral field, (3) a dinuclear compl...

Two dinuclear [Ni2L2(o-(NO2)C6H4COO)2(H2O)] (1), [Ni2L2(p-(NO2)C6H4COO)2(H2O)]·0.5CH3OH (2) complexes and one trinuclear [Ni3L2(p-(NO2)C6H4COO)4]·C2H5OH (3) Ni(II) complex have been synthesized using a tridentate Schiff base ligand, 1-[(3-dimethylamino-propylimino)-methyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (HL) along with ortho- and para-nitro benzoate as co-ligands. All these three (1-3) complexes have been cha...

The electron capture dissociation (ECD) of metallo-supramolecular dinuclear triple-stranded helicate Fe(2)L(3)(4+) ions was determined by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Initial electron capture by the di-iron(II) triple helicate ions produces dinuclear double-stranded complexes analogous to those seen in solution with the monocationic metal centers Cu(I) or Ag(I). ...
