New homoleptic and heteroleptic zinc(ii)-containing liquid metal salts with N-alkylimidazole (AlkIm) ligands and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N(-)) anions are described. The general formulae of the complexes are [Zn(AlkIm)6][Tf2N]2 and [Zn(AlkIm)6-x(AlkIm')x][Tf2N]2. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that, in the solid state, the cations consist of octahedral zinc(ii) centres. ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the in vivo ability of glucosaminic acid-cobalt (II) chelate to reduce glycemia. METHODS Different concentrations of chelate solution were administrated to mice with diabetes induced by streptozotocin. RESULTS Daily oral administration of chelate solution 0.4 mL at various concentrations (0.32-0.4 g/mL) led to reduction in water intake by t...

The self-assembly of an equilateral triangle that is both heterobimetallic and heteroleptic, its metal exchange to a homometallic triangle and further ligand exchange (= edge of the triangle) were elaborated.

The heteroleptic magnesium alkyl complex [CH{C(Me)NAr}(2)Mg(n)Bu] (Ar = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3)) is reported as a highly efficient pre-catalyst for the hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones with pinacolborane.

The synthesis of hexakis-terpyridine and an expedient approach to its dynamic hexakis-heteroleptic complexes are elaborated, the latter being readily accessible precursors for the construction of technomimetic molecular spoked wheels.

An unprecedented trinuclear heteroleptic Ag(I) complex was isolated using a stable multidentate 2,4,6-tris(2-pyrimidyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPymT) ligand. The obtained compound is an efficient catalyst for the direct aziridination of terminal olefins.

Heteroleptic bis(dipyrrinato)copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes are synthesized. Their structures are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, and their properties are investigated by using cyclic voltammetry, chronocoulometry, and UV/vis absorption spectroscopy.
