A rare class of mixed-metal [2]catenane has been assembled via magic ring synthesis of dinuclear copper(II) and gold(III) dithiocarbamate macrocycles.

A discrete dinuclear Ag(I) complex undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation to generate a 1D coordination polymer with a polycyclobutane backbone.

Preparation and structural analysis of chiral dinuclear vanadium(v) catalysts with high catalytic activity for the oxidative coupling of 2-naphthols are described.

The paper reports the synthesis and characterisation of a series of flexible di-bidentate bridging ligands in which two 4-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine groups are linked at the 4'-position by polymethylene (bb(n)), linear polyether (bbO(n)) or linear alkylamine (bbN(n)) chains of varying length (n). The enantiomers (ΔΔ/ΛΛ) of the rac forms of the ruthenium(ii) dinuclear complexes incorporating these l...

Dinuclear paddlewheels linked by 5-methylisophthalate and dabco act as 5-connecting nodes to form a highly symmetric open framework based on three different Archimedean polyhedra.

Utilization of the strong electron-withdrawing ligand, hfac, leads to a novel dinuclear dysprosium single-molecule magnet featuring a pyrazine bridge with a large anisotropic barrier.

The preparation of a novel dinuclear nickel(ii) hydride complex and its reactivity that often leads to nickel(i) compounds is described.

A ladder-like coordination polymer involving a dinuclear Zn Schiff-base complex possesses organic linkers that undergo [2+2] photodimerisation in the solid state.

A dinuclear nickel complex with methyl and thiolate ligands, Ni(dadt(Et))Ni(Me)(SDmp) (2), has been synthesized as a dinuclear Ni(d)-Ni(p)-site model of acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS) (dadt(Et) is N,N'-diethyl-3,7-diazanonane-1,9-dithiolate; Dmp is 2,6-dimesitylphenyl). Complex 2 was prepared via 2 methods: (i) ligand substitution of a dinuclear Ni(II)-Ni(II) cation complex [Ni(dadt(Et)) Ni(tmtu)2] ...
