The photoelectrochemical properties and stability of dye sensitized solar cells containing Mn(β-diketonato)3 complexes, [Mn(III)(acac)3] () (acac = acetylacetonate), [Mn(III)(CF2)3] () (CF2 = 4,4-difluoro-1-phenylbutanate-1,3-dione), [Mn(III)(DBM)3] () (DBM = dibenzoylmethanate), [Mn(II)(CF2)3]TBA (TBA = tetrabutylammonium) () and [Mn(II)(DBM)3]TBA (), have been evaluated. At room temperature, ...

The dicarbene platinum complexes of the type [Pt(L)2]Br2 [5]Br2 – [8]Br2 (L = N-alkyl-N′picolylbenzimidazolin-2-ylidene) have been prepared by two different methods. The in situ deprotonation of picoline-functionalized benzimidazolium salts 1 – 4 with platinum acetylacetonate gave the platinum complexes [5]Br2 – [8]Br2 in good yields. Complex [8]Br2 has also been obtained by a ligand transfer r...

Five new tetranuclear complexes based on an 8-hydroxyquinoline Schiff base derivative and the β-diketone coligand, [Ln4(acac)4L6(μ3-OH)2]·CH3CN·0.5CH2Cl2 (Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4) and Er (5); HL = 5-(benzylidene)amino-8-hydroxyquinoline; acac = acetylacetonate) have been synthesized, and structurally and magnetically characterized. Complexes 1-5 have similar tetranuclear structures. ...

Four heteroleptic complexes of nickel(ii), cobalt(ii) and zinc(ii), containing a monodentate silanethiolate ligand derived from tris(2,6-diisopropylphenoxy)silanethiol (TDST), were prepared and characterized. Nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) complexes of the formula M(NH3)2(TDST)2 (M = Ni(ii) complex , M = Co(ii) complex ) were obtained from the respective chlorides. Zinc complexes of the general form...

Metal acetylacetonates belong to the β-diketonate family and are considered as classics among precursors for metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The success of film preparation is crucially dependent on volatilization thermodynamics used. Data metal in huge disarray. We amassed analyzed experimental data pressures enthalpies entropies fusion, vaporization, sublimation acetylacetona...

vo2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of al-mcm-41 designated as vo2+/al-mcm-41 or vol2/al-mcm-41, were prepared and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), ft-ir, bet nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. vo2+/al-mcm-41 and vol2/al-mcm-41 were found to catalyze...

A series of novel phenyl-substituted planar and sandwich-type complexes of Eu, Er and Lu with phthalo and naphthalocyanine ligands was obtained. A successful synthesis of dinaphthalocyanines from the ligand is described. A selective synthetic approach to the phenyl-substituted triphthalocyanine complexes from the ligand and acetylacetonate salts of lanthanides was developed. Correlations betwee...

Silicon(111) surfaces have been functionalized with mixed monolayers consisting of submonolayer coverages of immobilized 4-vinyl-2,2'-bipyridyl (1, vbpy) moieties, with the remaining atop sites of the silicon surface passivated by methyl groups. As the immobilized bipyridyl ligands bind transition metal ions, metal complexes can be assembled on the silicon surface. X-ray photoelectron spectrosc...

Two new bidentate imidazolylphosphine P–N chelate ligands 2-(diisopropylphosphino-ethyl)1-methylimidazole (PN I ) and 2-(diphenylphosphino-ethyl)-1-methylimidazole (PN II ) have been synthesized in good yields by treating R2PCl (R = Pr i or Ph) with 1-methyl-2trimethylsilylethylimidazole. Various types of nickel(II), cobalt-(II) and -(III) complexes have been prepared with these two ligands and...
