Photocatalytic processes under visible light have constantly been finding more and applications in organic synthesis as they allow a wide range of transformations to proceed mild conditions. The combination photoredox catalysis with metal complex gives an opportunity employ the advantages these two methodologies. Covalent bonding photocatalyst catalyst using bridging ligands increases efficienc...

The S3O2 macrocycle L1 was synthesized by a dithiol-dihalide coupling reaction under high-dilution conditions. The reaction of L1 with K2PdCl4 afforded an exocoordinated complex 1, [cis-Cl2Pd(L1)], which can then be manipulated to provide a heterobinuclear complex 3, {[Pd(L1)Ag(NO3)(2.5)](NO3)(0.5)}n, utilizing endocyclic Pd(II) and exocyclic Ag(I) in a single macrocycle through a successive re...

A series of highly unsymmetric heterobinuclear Mn/Co complexes is reported, in which an organometallic CpMn(CO)z fragment and a classical Werner-type cobalt(II) subunit are arranged in close proximity by means of a bridging pyrazolate. Two ligand scaffolds are employed that differ by the chelate size of the tripodal tetradentate {N41 binding site for cobalt. Molecular structures of three comple...

La3+ and Ni2+-doped BiOCl were prepared by sol–gel method characterized physicochemical spectroscopic techniques. Their photocatalytic performances investigated the degradation of gentian violet under visible light. The results indicated that co-doping Ni La significantly enhanced performance BiOCl. photodegradation efficiency LaNiBiOCl reached 95.5% in 105 min, which was 1.5 times This signifi...

Six new copper(II)–lanthanide(III) heterobinuclear complexes, described by the formula Cu(obbz)Ln(Me2-phen)2NO3 (Ln = La, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Me2-phen represents 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me2-phen), have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (IR, UV, ESR) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature...

The synthesis and characterisation of two terpyridine based ruthenium/palladium heteronuclear compounds are presented. The photocatalytic behaviour of the Ru/Pd complex containing the linear 2,2':5',2''-terpyridine bridge (1a) and its analogue the non-linear 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine bridge (2a) are compared together with the respective mononuclear complexes 1 and 2. Irradiation of 1a with visibl...
