The development of new effective chiral ligands is fundamental to asymmetric hydrogenation. Over recent decades, many excellent bisphosphine ligands have been reported for highly enantioselective hydrogenation reactions. However, the modification of a desired structural motif of most bidentate ligands is impeded by multistep synthesis. Recently, this situation has been partially remedied by the...

Six silver(I) coordination complexes have been prepared and structurally characterised. Mixed chalcogen-donor acenaphthene ligands L1-L3 [Acenap(EPh)(E'Ph)] (Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; E/E' = S, Se, Te) were independently treated with silver(I) salts (AgBF₄/AgOTf). In order to keep the number of variables to a minimum, all reactions were carried out using a 1:1 ratio of Ag/L and run in dic...

The synthesis and characterization of "2 + 1" complexes of the [M(CO)(3)](+) (M = Re, (99m)Tc) core with the β-diketones acetylacetone (complexes 2, 8) and curcumin (complexes 5, 10 and 6, 11) as bidentate OO ligands, and imidazole or isocyanocyclohexane as monodentate ligands is reported. The complexes were synthesized by reacting the [NEt(4)](2)[Re(CO)(3)Br(3)] precursor with the β-diketone t...

INTRODUCTION New (188)Re and (99m)Tc peptide conjugates with substance- P (SP) were prepared and biologically evaluated. The radiopharmaceuticals have been labelled with the [M≡N](2+) (M=(99m)Tc, (188)Re) core using a combination of π-donor tridentate and π-acceptor monodentate ancillary ligands. METHODS The new radiopharmaceuticals have been prepared through a two-step reaction by simultaneo...

A new one-dimensional uranium(VI) coordination polymer, [UO2(μ-DMP)2(TMP)]n (1) (DMP is dimethyl phosphate and TMP is trimethyl phosphate), was prepared from the reaction of UO2(NO3)2.6H2O and TMP in in THF (THF is tetrahydrofuran) as a solvent. Suitable crystals of this complex for crystal structure determination were obtained by slow evaporation of the produced yellow solution at room tempera...

The title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)FO(2))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O, is a monomeric complex. It contains two 4-fluoro-benzoate and two nicotinamide ligands and one uncoordinated water mol-ecule. The 4-fluoro-benzoates act as bidentate chelating ligands, while the nicotinamides are monodentate. The six-coordinate geometry around the Zn(II) atom may be described as highly distorted octa-hedral, wi...

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Ba(C4HO4)2(H2O)5]·H2O} n , consists of discrete double chains propagating along [010]. The chains are formed by Ba(II) ions linked by bridging hydrogen squarate ligands in a trans-bis-monodentate mode. In addition, the bridging hydrogen squarate ligands connect the chains into a ladder structure via a third coordinating O atom. The remaining coordi...

In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(3)H(4)N(2))(2)](n), the Cu(II) atom is four-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two different terephthalate ligands and two N atoms from two imidazole ligands in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. Each terephthalate ligand acts as a bis-monodentate ligand that binds two Cu(II) atoms, thus forming two unique chains ext...

In the title compound, [Zn(N(3))(2)(C(10)H(9)N(3))](n), tetra-hedrally coordinated Zn(II) ions with two monodentate azide ligands are linked into zigzag one-dimensional chain motifs by di-4-pyridylamine (dpa) tethers. Individual [Zn(N(3))(2)(dpa)](n) chains are connected into supra-molecular layers via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the central amine groups of the dpa ligands and terminal unlig...
