Two activated isostructural porous compounds, [Co(34pba)(44pba)] n ( 1d ) and [Zn(34pba)(44pba)] 2d (where 34pba is 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate, 44pba 4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate, d indicates the phase) were used for adsorption of halogenated...

The dinuclear complexes [Ni(micro-Cl){(4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyloxazol-2-yl)methanol}](2)Cl(2) and [Ni(micro-Cl){(pyridin-2-yl)methanol}](2)Cl(2) 16 have been synthesized in high yields by reaction of NiCl(2) with 2 mol. equiv. of the ligands 4,5-dihydro-4,4-dimethyloxazol-2-yl)methanol 13 or (pyridin-2-yl)methanol 15, respectively. The reaction of NiCl(2) with 3 mol. equiv. of 15 afforded in hi...

A cyclometalated bisruthenium complex bridged by the 2,7-bisdeprotonated form of 1,3,6,8-tetra(pyridin-2-yl)-9-butyl-9H-carbazole displays appreciably enhanced electronic coupling relative to that with the 5,5'-bisdeprotonated form of 3,3',5,5'-tetra(pyridin-2-yl)-biphenyl as the bridge.

Fully reversible photoswitching of the coordination mode of the ligand MeN4Py (1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-yl-methyl)-ethan-1-amine) in its ruthenium(II) complex with visible light is reported. Irradiation with visible light results in dissociation of a pyridyl moiety, which is reversed by irradiation at 355 nm.

Structural and electronic factors are crucial to rationalize the different N,O or N,N chelating coordination of pyrazolones containing a pyridine ring. The reactivity proligand 3-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-pyrazolone (HLpy,ph) with (arene)Ru(II) fragment was explored. Neutral ionic complexes were obtained fully characterized, also by X-ray diffraction, revealing ligand coordinate in an unusual N...

Luminescent properties of two heteroleptic dibenzoylmethanate europium(III) complexes with 1,3-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propane (H2L1) and 1,4-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)butane (H2L2) as ancillary ligands are described. The two double-layer-type electroluminescent cells with the structures: (1) ITO/NPB(40 nm)/Eu(DBM)2HL1 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) and (2) ITO/NPB(40 ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ir(C17H11F2N2)3]·0.5CH3(CH2)4CH3·0.5CH2Cl2, comprises one IrIII atom, three 2,6-di-fluoro-3-[5-(2-fluoro-phen-yl)pyridin-2-yl]pyridin-4-yl ligands and half each of an n-hexane and a di-chloro-methane solvent mol-ecule located about crystallographic inversion centres. The IrIII atom displays a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, having three C...
