Novel monodentate phosphorus ligands containing the 1,1'-spirobiindane backbone have been synthesized and applied in the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of functionalized olefins, providing excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.3% ee).

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni(C(7)H(4)NO(4))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)](n), exhibits a two-dimensional network, which is built up from slightly distorted NiN(4)O(2) polyhedra (2 symmetry), bipyridine ligands, and carboxyl-ate anions. The Ni(II) atoms are six-coordinated by two O atoms of two monodentate carboxyl-ate anions and four N atoms from bipyridine ligands and are connected ...

In the last two decades, a number of chelate strategies have been proposed for the fac-[M(CO)3] + (M = Re, Tc) core in radiopharmaceutical applications. However, the development of new ligands/ complexes with improved function and in vivo performance has been limited in recent years. Expanding on our previous studies using the 2 + 1 labeling strategy, a series of bidentate ligands (neutral vs. ...

The electronic and steric effects as well as hydrogen bonds on the formation of the heteroligand complexes between monodentate amino acid based phosphoramidite and monodentate phosphine ligands were studied. Pure heterocomplex formation through the hydrogen bond between LEUPhos and a urea based phosphine is observed leading to highly active and selective catalyst. Substrate orientation through ...

A series of pyrazine (pz) complexes containing cis-(NH(3))(2)Pt(II), (tmeda)Pt(II) (tmeda = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine), and trans-(NH(3))(2)Pt(II) entities have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography and/or 1H NMR spectroscopy. In these compounds, the pz ligands act as monodentate (1-3) or bidentate bridging ligands (4-7). Three variants of the latter case are descr...

In the title polymeric coordination compound, {[Co(C14H10NO4)2(H2O)2]·2H2O} n , the Co(II) ion resides on an inversion center and exhibits a distorted o-cta-hedral coordination geometry defined by four O atoms from two pairs of equivalent monodentate carboxyl-ate groups from 2-[3-(4-carboxyl-atophen-yl)pyridin-1-ium-1-yl]acetate ligands and by two O atoms from two equivalent coordinating water ...

In the dimeric title compound, [Zn(2)(C(14)H(9)O(4))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Zn(II) ions are penta-coordinated by one 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand and by three O atoms from three 2'-carboxyl-atobiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid ligands. Two of the 2'-carboxyl-atobiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid ligands act as bridging ligands and, together with two zinc(II) cations, produce an 18-membered ring system. The remai...

New Ru(II) arene complexes of formula [(η6-p-cym)Ru(N-N)(X)]2+ (where p-cym = para-cymene, N-N = 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpm) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) and X = m/p-COOMe-Py, 1-4) were synthesised and characterized, including the molecular structure of complexes [(η6-p-cym)Ru(bpy)(m-COOMe-Py)]2+ (3) and [(η6-p-cym)Ru(bpy) (p-COOMe-Py)]2+ (4) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1-4 are stabl...
