An organometallic Au(III) complex of N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin has been synthesized and its electrochemical and photophysical properties investigated; unique emission is observed in solution at ambient temperature.

Organometallic materials that exhibit white luminescence in condensed phases are of considerable interest for lighting and display applications. Herein, new carbazole-based Au(I) complexes containing an isocyanide group a long pentyl chain were synthesized. The complex with unsubstituted carbazole moiety exhibited emission at room temperature as well nematic liquid crystalline behavior. Color t...

Remarkably efficient oxygen atom transfer from an intermediate of glutathione (GSH) autoxidation to an organometallic ruthenium arene thiolato complex is observed under physiologically-relevant conditions.

which were attended by two to four hundred scientists with expertise in: Coordination and Bioinorganic Chemistry Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis Solid State Chemistry and Materials

An organometallic synthesis of ruthenium and platinum nanoparticles and their transfer into water using 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane as stabilizer is reported.

A single-molecule spintronic switch and spin valve using two cobaltocene moieties is proposed. Spin-dependent transport through a lead-molecule-lead junction has been calculated using first-principles density functional and nonequilibrium Green function methods. We find that the antiparallel (singlet) configuration of the cobaltocene spins blocks electron transport near the Fermi energy, while ...

The activities of the group comprise the synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of inorganic, organometallic and intermetallic compounds of actinides and lanthanides in order to understand the influence of the electronic configuration and of the size of these elements in the chemical behaviour of their compounds. Reactivity properties are assessed by stoichiometric reactions and by ...

The overview describes the industrial application of homogeneous catalysts for the chemical industry. In the first part, some theoretical background is given on organometallic complexes and homogeneous catalysis followed by a description of the prerequisites and current problems for their industrial application. Selected examples of industrially useful catalysts for the manufacture of bulk and ...

The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of tertiary alcohols by the addition of organometallic reagents to ketones is of central importance in organic chemistry. The resulting quaternary stereocentres are difficult to prepare selectively by other means despite their widespread occurrence in natural products and pharmaceuticals. Over the past few years, several seminal reports on the formation of chi...
