Coordination chemistry is a challenging field in inorganic chemistry and has evolved as an important subject area in current research activities. Coordination compounds have been known for well over a century and the scientific interest in these compounds increased dramatically. The field of coordination chemistry has been widely explored. The recent surge in the popularity of coordination comp...

the coupling of tetrazotised 1,8-diaminonaphthalene with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds [acetylacetone,methylacetoacetate and acetoacetanilide] yielded a new series of tetradentate ligand systems. analytical, ir,1h nmr and mass spectral data indicate that the compounds exist in the intramolecularly hydrogen bondeddihydrazone form. dibasic tetradentate n2o2 coordination of these compounds in their [ml...

Results of ab initio molecular orbital studies are presented for one elementary reaction and two full catalytic cycles of organo-transition metal complexes: (i) the oxidative addition of H-H, C-H, N-H, 0-H and Si-H bonds to CpRh(C0) in gas phase, (ii) the full catalytic cycle of hydroboration of olefin with Rh(PR3)2Cl, and (iii) the full catalytic cycle of hydroformylation of olefin with RhH(C0...

Pyridinethiones are important ligand precursors of coordination complexes of therapeutic value. In aqueous solution, pyridinethiones can dimerize and tautomerize to the corresponding thiols. However, the tautomerism of pyridinethiones, which can impact on therapeutic performance, is yet not fully understood. To resolve this important issue, we have carried out ab initio and DFT calculations to ...

The reactions of isonitriles with a variety of metalloboryl and metalloborylene species are shown to yield a range of products, none of which display the typical Lewis acid-base reactivity previously observed between such metal complexes and other Lewis bases. Insertions of one, or several, isonitriles into the metal-boron bond give cyclic and spiro compounds with bonding controlled by the elec...
