Preparation of 1,2,3-triazolylidene metal complexes by simple alkylation of triazolyl based parent species was demonstrated for the first time. Based on this post-modification approach, unprecedented tridentate Pd and Pt complexes bearing a 1,2,3-triazolylidene core were synthesized.

[Reaction: see text]. The photolysis of CpW(CO)3Me has been shown to produce methyl radicals and to cleave DNA in a single-stranded manner, and preliminary evidence implicated a carbon-centered radical in this process. In this work, the mechanism of strand scission in this reaction was determined to occur by hydrogen atom abstraction from the 4'- and 5'-positions of the deoxyribose moiety of th...

There is longstanding fundamental interest in 6-fold coordinated d(6) (t(2g)(6)) transition metal complexes such as [Ru(bpy)3](2+) and Ir(ppy)3, particularly their phosphorescence. This interest has increased with the growing realisation that many of these complexes have potential uses in applications including photovoltaics, imaging, sensing, and light-emitting diodes. In order to design new c...

Linda is a model of communication for concurrent processes. This paper proposes the addition of a new primitive to the Linda model, called copy-collect. An informal semantics of the new primitive is presented and an outline of the multiple rd problem which provides the justi cation for adding a new primitive. A description of how the new primitive can be implemented on several di erent implemen...

The solid state structures of two metal complexes of a hexaamine macrobicyclic ligand, in which the metal ion has an exact trigonal prismatic geometry, have been determined. Theoretical calculations showed this is the most stable geometry for d(0), d(10) and high spin d(5) metal complexes of the ligand with M-N bond distances >∼2.35 Å.

The title compound, [Mn(C(18)H(12)N(4)O(2))(C(4)H(6)N(2))(2)], belongs to the family of 1,2-bis-(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzene (H(2)bpb) ligated metal complexes. The manganese center is octa-hedrally coordinated by a bpb ligand and two axial 1-methyl-imidazole mol-ecules. The axial N-Mn-N group is bent with a bond angle of 151.79 (7)°.

Since the first reports some three decades ago, the chemistry of pincer metal complexes has seen a tremendous development with impact on materials chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, bioorganometallics, and, presumably most significantly, on (catalytic) bond making and breaking processes. The remarkable progress is due to a large extent to the well-defined nature and tunability of the pincer l...
