A sandwich zwitterionic ruthenium complex (4) was prepared by an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the ruthenium azido isocyanide [CpMe5Ru(CNAr)2N3] (2). The reaction involved a formal 1,3-
Co(II) complexes of aminotrisphenolate ((ArO)3N3–) ligands can be prepared straightforwardly in high yield. X-ray analysis reveals these complexes to comprise of two different hemispheres, one contai
In the coordination chemistry of heavier tetrylenes (:ER2, where E = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb), chelating P,N-donor ligands occupy a privileged position, though phosphinoamido ligands, [R2P–NR′]−, have been bar
The preparation and structural characterization of tin(IV) complexes supported by (2,2‘-phenylphosphino)bis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenolate) ([OPO]2-) are described. The reaction of in-situ prepared Li2[OP
The geometric preferences of a family of four coordinate, iron(II) d6 complexes of the general form L2FeX2 have been systematically evaluated. Treatment of Fe2(Mes)4 (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with monoden
