The coordination of 2-pyridyltetrazolate and ortho-xylene-linked bis(NHC)cyclophane to Pt(II) yielded a novel complex characterised by enhanced pure deep-blue emission, whose intensity can be modulated via methylation of the tetrazole ring.

The reaction of 2-hydroxybenzophenone derivatives with europium ions has afforded a new family of luminescent nonanuclear Eu(III) clusters. Crystal structure analysis of the clusters reveals that the metal core comprises two vertex-sharing square pyramidal units. Most of these complexes show emissions typical of Eu(3+) ion under visible light excitation (400-420 nm) at room temperature. Photoph...

The synthesis and the first X-ray structural characterization of a selenenyl selenocyanate, [o-(2,6-diisopropylphenyliminomethinyl)phenyl]selenenyl selenocyanate (), with a stable Se-Se bond are described. The isolation of stable , both in the solid state and in solution, is facilitated by strong intramolecular SeN interaction. The compound , an example of unsymmetrical diselenide, did not exhi...

Complexes [Pd{C,N-Ar{C(Me)=NOH}-2}(μ-Cl)](2) (1) with Ar = C(6)H(4), C(6)H(3)NO(2)-5 or C(6)H(OMe)(3)-4,5,6, were obtained from the appropriate oxime, Li(2)[PdCl(4)] and NaOAc. They reacted with neutral monodentate C-, P- or N-donor ligands (L), with [PPN]Cl ([PPN] = Ph(3)P=N=PPh(3)), with Tl(acac) (acacH = acetylacetone), or with neutral bidentate ligands N^N (tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda...

Straightforward palladium(II) catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction between decyl, (S)-2-methyl-butyl, and dodecyl N-substituted diketopyrrolopyrrole thiophene (DPPT), including a 3-methoxy-thiophene derivative, 6-bromo-2,2′-bipyridine afforded series of mono- bis-bipyridine substituted DPPT ligands 1–3. Complexation reactions with PtCl2(DMSO)2 provided ortho-metalated platinum(II) complexes...

Many natural products of plant or microbial origins are derived from enzymatic dearomative oxygenation 2-alkylphenolic precursors into 6-alkyl-6-hydroxycyclohexa-2,4-dienones. These so-called ortho-quinols cyclodimerize via a remarkably selective bispericyclic Diels–Alder reaction. Whether not the intervention catalytic dirigent proteins is involved during this final step biosynthesis these pro...

Paralysis in man and the domestic fowl caused by "ToCP" (tri-cresyl phosphate, tri-tolyl phosphate or TTP) is reviewed, and the search for a non-toxic plasticizer derived either from TTP or tri-xylenyl phosphate (tri-dimethylphenyl phosphate or TXP) is described. It had been previously shown that the ortho-tolyl esters are toxic but we found that their removal does not make the mixture non-toxi...

A general mathematical formulation of the n × n proper Orthogonal matrix, that corresponds to a rigid rotation in n-dimensional real Euclidean space, is given here. It is shown that a rigid rotation depends on an angle (principal angle) and on a set of (n−2) principal axes. The latter, however, can be more conveniently replaced by only 2 Orthogonal directions that identify the plane of rotation...
