• Reacting Ru(CO) 4 Br 2 with heterocyclic amines leads to ruthenium carbamoyls. These complexes release CO only when irradiated in the UV. The metal coordination spheres are similar releated iron systems. Reaction of a series family carbamoyl complexes. analogous related ferracyclic systems reported by us as potential photo corm ( Chem. Commun. , 2020, 56 4300–4303). In contrast compounds, car...

Progress in the selective binding and detection of magnesium ions has been slower than other biologically important divalent metal like calcium zinc. The most widely used ligands for Mg2+ are by no means optimal, as they not it. Nevertheless, is a major cation all cells, with physiologically critical functions. There need improved sensors Mg2+. In this review, we consider how an appreciation fu...

An overview is given of the chemistry of tris(azolyl)phosphines with focus on their preparation and application in coordinationand organometallic chemistry and catalysis. These systems share with the more abundant tris(pyrazolyl)borates and -methanes the ability to function as tridentate nitrogen ligands with hemilabile character, but the additional phosphine donor site grants them bifunctional...
