In the crystal structure of the title compound, {[Ni(C(4)H(2)O(4))(C(10)H(9)N(3))(H(2)O)(2)]·4H(2)O}(n), zigzag chains are built up from cis-[Ni(dpya)(H(2)O)(2)](2+) cations (dpya is di-2-pyridylamine) linked by bis-monodentate coordinated bridging fumarate ligands. The Ni(II) atom is coordinated by one chelating dpya ligand, two aqua ligands in trans positions and two monodentate fumarate liga...

The title binuclear complex, [Cu(2)(C(2)H(3)O(2))(4)(C(6)H(9)N(3))(2)], lies on an inversion center with four acetate ligands bridging two Cu(II) ions and two monodentate N,N-dimethyl-pyrazine-2-amine ligands coordinating each Cu(II) ion via N atoms, forming slightly distorted square-pyramidal environments.

Atomically uniform nucleation products of ligated metal nanoclusters are observed irrespective of reduction conditions for metal-bidentate ligand systems. Monodentate ligands are not reported to wield similar control, indicating steric contributions of complexing ligands may be as important as their electronic structure for synthesizing small nanoclusters.

In the title compound, [CuCl2(C7H7NO2)2], the square-planar-coordinated Cu(II) ion lies on a centre of symmetry and is bonded to two monodentate methyl-isonicotinate ligands through their N atoms and by two chloride ligands. The mol-ecules pack in a herringbone pattern. Perpendicular to [100] there are weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O contacts. Along [100] there are infinite chains of edge...

The title compound, [Cd(C(7)H(5)O(3))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)]·CH(3)OH, contains one monomeric seven-coordinate cadmium complex and one methanol solvate mol-ecule. The Cd(II) atom is coordinated to two 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands via the N atoms and to two salicylate anions (Hsal(-)) via the carboxyl-ate O atoms, which act as monodentate ligand for the one and bidentate ligand for the second. The Cd(II...

In the title coordination polymer, {[AgNd(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(2))(2)(C(2)O(4))]·H(2)O}(n), the Nd(III) atom is coordinated in a distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic geometry by two O and two N atoms of two N,O-bidentate pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate (2-pzc) ligands, four O atoms of two bidentate oxalate ligands, and one O atom of a monodentate carboxyl-ate group of a 2-pzc ligand. The Ag(I) ion is co...

An efficient enantioselective intramolecular Heck reaction of cyclohexadienones, using readily available and modular TADDOL-based mono- and bidentate phosphoramidites as chiral ligands and not requiring any additives, has been developed. Excellent enantioselectivities up to 96% ee are reached for the first time in a Heck reaction with monodentate ligands.

Many new mixed ligand complexes of mercury(II) have been synthesized with LH = 4,5-(diphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione (diptSH) and tertiary phosphines as co-ligands. The compounds characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV–Vis, molar conductivity, NMR spectroscopy. In the binuclear (2-5), both Hg atoms tetrahedral geometry, atom bonded to three halide ions one thione (LH) through sulfur atom. ...

A versatile strategy to prepare fac-[M(I)(CO)3](+) and cis-[M(I)(CO)2](+) (M = Re, (99m)Tc) complexes was developed using Huisgen click chemistry and monodentate phosphine ligands to readily incorporate biomolecules and tailor the chemical properties.
