The Ag(I) atom in the title centrosymmetric dinuclear compound, [Ag2(C11H10N3O)2(C11H11N3O)2]·2H2O, shows a T-shaped coordination arising from bonding to the N atom of a neutral 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenol ligand, the N atom of the 2-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)amino-meth-yl]phenolate anion [N-Ag-N = 171.8 (1)°] and the terminal O atom of the other anion [Ag-O = 2.606 (3) Å]. A pair of 2-[(pyr...

In the title compound, [Ag(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(C(21)H(15)N(3))(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2), the Ag(I) atom is coordinated by three N atoms of one 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (phtpy) ligand and one pyridyl N atom of the 1,2-bis-(4-pyrid-yl)ethane (bpe) ligand, displaying a distorted square-planar geometry. Two Ag(I) atoms are bridged by one trans-bpe ligand, generating a dinuclear cation. The dinucl...

Introducing ligand based hydrogen bond donors to increase the activity of a mononuclear Zn(II) complex for catalysing phosphate ester cleavage can be a more effective strategy than making the dinuclear analogue.

Bridgeless double metallocalix[4]arenes possessing two orthogonally arranged dinuclear cavitands were obtained from a Re2(CO)10, rigid bis-chelating OO donor (H2-L), and a flexible bis-ditopic NN donor (L') by a one-pot approach.

A tetranuclear molecular rectangle consisting of two bridging dicarbene ligands and two bridging diphosphine ligands was prepared by connection of two dinuclear gold(I) complexes with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane.

The novel dinuclear Zn(ii) complex (1) containing a beta-CD dimer could accelerate BNPP (a DNA substitute) hydrolysis more efficiently than catalyze HPNP (a RNA substitute) transesterification with different mechanisms involved; the beta-CDs played remarkably different roles.

The pyridine-containing ligands and react with Ni(2+) ions to afford dinuclear triple-stranded helicate and tetrahedral cage supramolecular complexes, respectively; the two architectures exhibit contrasting reactivity towards electro- and photocatalytic proton reduction.

A novel dinuclear complex containing the photo-sensitizing Ru unit and a Pd center is effective toward selective catalytic dimerization of alpha-methylstyrene leading to 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene under visible-light irradiated conditions.

Molecular modelling has identified a new RNA conformational feature created by the insertion of bulge residues into duplex regions that may act as a recognition site for small molecule binding, in particular for inert dinuclear ruthenium complexes.

Dinuclear clathrochelate complexes are easily accessible by reaction of zinc(ii) triflate or cobalt(ii) nitrate with arylboronic acids and phenoldioximes. The utilization of brominated arylboronic acids and/or brominated phenoldioximes allows preparing clathrochelates with two, three, five or seven bromine atoms on the outside. These clathrochelates can undergo Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling react...
