The reaction of 2-hydroxybenzophenone derivatives with europium ions has afforded a new family of luminescent nonanuclear Eu(III) clusters. Crystal structure analysis of the clusters reveals that the
A new type of bicyclic bridgehead phosphoramidites (briphos) is reported, where the geometrical constraints significantly enhance the π-acceptor ability compared with its monocyclic analogs. The briph
The 2,5-dimethyl-3,4-bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-dimethylphospholano]thiophene (UlluPHOS), a new thiophene-based analogue of (R,R)-1,2-bis(phospholano)benzene (Me-DuPHOS), was synthesized, geometrically and elect
The novel bicyclic pentadentate ligand 5-methyl-1,5,9,24,25-pentaazapentacyclo[7.7.7.5.5]pentacosane-11,13,15,18(25),20,22-hexene (L1) has been synthesized. Because of its cross-bridged topology it ex
