Redox Chemistry of Heterobimetallic Polypnictogen Triple‐Decker Complexes – Rearrangement, Fragmentation and Transfer

Heterobimetallic complexes of palladium and platinum containing a redox-active W[SNS]2 metalloligand.

Complexes of the general formula W[SNS]2M(dppe) (M = Pd, Pt; [SNS]H3 = bis(2-mercapto-p-tolyl)amine; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) were prepared by combining the corresponding (dppe)MCl2 synthon with W[SNS]2 under reducing conditions. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation of a heterobimetallic complex supported by a single thiolate bridging ligand and a short metal-metal b...

The Electron Transfer Chemistry of Nitrosyl Complexes

Heterobimetallic complexes with redox-active mesoionic carbenes as metalloligands: electrochemical properties, electronic structures and catalysis.

A mesoionic carbene with a ferrocene backbone is used as a metalloligand to generate the first example of their Fe-Au heterobimetallic complexes. The details of geometric and electronic structures in different redox states and preliminary catalytic results are presented.

Charge Transfer Between Quantum Dots and Peptide-Coupled Redox Complexes

Introduction: Nanotechnology has great potential for creating a new generation of multifunctional hybrid bio-inorganic assemblies that are capable of enhancing Navy capabilities and DoD battle systems in general. The unique properties of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) have made them an integral building block in this burgeoning field.1 In addition to their well known size-dependent emission spe...

Selective nitrite reduction at heterobimetallic CoMg complexes.

Heme-containing nitrite reductases bind and activate nitrite by a mechanism that is proposed to involve interactions with Brønsted acidic residues in the secondary coordination sphere. To model this functionality using synthetic platforms that incorporate a Lewis acidic site, heterobimetallic CoMg complexes supported by diimine-dioxime ligands are described. The neutral (μ-NO2)CoMg species 3 is...
