The performance of a set mono- and bimetallic Rh(i) Ir(i) complexes bearing carbene-linker-carbene (CXC) bis-triazolylidene ligands (with X = O, N) coordinated in bridging or chelating fashion was evaluated the hydrothiolation alkynes.

With the success of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)), strong interest has developed in the application of inorganic metal complexes to the treatment of cancer. Research has focused on platinum(II) complexes with a variety of spectator ligands that provide novel physicochemical properties. In this paper we report a kinetic study of 1',1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenedichloroplatinu...

A study has been conducted to determine whether lithium magnesiates are feasible candidates for the enantioselective deprotonation of 4-alkylcyclohexanones. The commercially available chiral amine (+)-bis[(R)-1-phenylethyl]amine (2-H) was utilised to induce enantioselection. When transformed to its lithium salt and combined with (n)Bu2Mg, improved enantioselective deprotonation of 4-tert-butylc...

The title compound, poly[[di-aqua-bis-[1,5-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)pentane-κ(2) N:N']cadmium] bis-(perchlorate) 1,5-bis-(pyridin-4-yl)pentane ethanol mono-solvate], [Cd(C15H18N2)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·C15H18N2·C2H6O, is a layered coordination polymer built up from highly squashed 4(4) nets in which the octa-hedral trans-CdO2N4 nodes (Cd site symmetry -1) are linked by the bifunctional ligands, forming infin...

An indole hydrazone has successfully been synthesized employing Schiff base reaction conditions starting from 4,6-dimethoxy-2,3-diphenylindole-7-carbaldehyde with hydrazine hydrate. The of this compound acetone yielded based imine compound. structure targeted was identified by mass and 1H spectroscopy along single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Also, bromination bis-indole N-bromo succini...

Salt metathesis of (2,6-xylylimido) vanadium trichloride (1) with the unsolvated or the TMEDA lithium p-Et benzamidinate complexes (2 and 3, respectively, in 1 : 2 V : Li molar ratio) yields bis[N,N'-bis(trimethylsilyl) p-Et benzamidinate](2,6-xylylimido)VCl (4) as dark brown, diamond-shaped crystals. When equimolar amounts of complexes 1 and 2 are reacted, a mixture of the bis (4) and mono (5)...
