In this work, we present an innovative approach to investigate the structure and the reactivity of a molecularly dispersed organometallic compound. The poly(4-ethylstyrene-co-divinylbenzene) microporous system (PS) is used as "solid solvent" able to molecularly disperse CrCp2, allowing: (i) its full characterization by means of spectroscopic techniques; (ii) the pressure and temperature depende...

This Thematic Series is dedicated to the memory of Professor Peter Hofmann (Figure 1) whose research work included many seminal contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry [1-3]. Organometallic chemistry has therefore been chosen as the topic of this Thematic Series of the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. Over a period of many decades, the chemistry of metal–carbon bonds has g...

Inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins with organometallic coordination compounds of Pd, Pt, Rh, Fe, Ni, and Ru have been used to produce porous metal-silica hybrid materials. The cyclodextrins are templates for the structure of the silica and lead to a uniform “wormtype” pore system. After the templating step the organometallic compounds can be employed as in situ precursors for the preparation ...

Thermodynamic data such as the binding constants are vital parameters describing interactions between exotic trace compounds and biomolecules in biochemical property modeling. In this study, the stability constants of organometallic compound and protein complexes were studied by using capillary electrophoresis coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS), considering it...

This paper shows that pair-distribution function (PDF) analyses can be carried out on organic and organometallic compounds from powder electron diffraction data. Different experimental setups are demonstrated, including selected area electron diffraction and nanodiffraction in transmission electron microscopy or nanodiffraction in scanning transmission electron microscopy modes. The methods wer...

Bioorganometallic chemistry is a rapidly developing area of research. In recent years organometallic compounds have provided a rich platform for the design of effective catalysts, e.g. for olefin metathesis and transfer hydrogenation. Electronic and steric effects are used to control both the thermodynamics and kinetics of ligand substitution and redox reactions of metal ions, especially Ru(II)...
