Protonation of (N−N)PtPh2 (1; N−N = diimine ArNCMe−CMeNAr with Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3 (a), 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (b), 4-Br-2,6-Me2C6H2 (c), 3,5-Me2C6H3 (d), and 4-CF3C6H4 (e)) in the presence of MeCN at ambient t
N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of ruthenium(II), [CpRu(L*)2Cl] (2) and [CpRu(CO)(L*)Cl] (3) (Cp = η5-C5H5; L* = 1,3-dicyclohexyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene), have been obtained in high yields by reaction
Attempts to synthesize complexes of Fe and Mn(II) with 2-amidopyrrolyl ligands (N–O) were unsuccessful, and only small amounts of the trivalent tris complexes M(N–O)3 were detected, although unusual
The reaction of 9-{[N-n-propyl-N-(diphenylphosphino)amino]methyl}anthracene (1) with Au(SMe2)Cl yields complex 2 with an arm-opening configuration. The latter is treated with AgClO4 to form complex 4
Aluminum complexes supported by sterically bulky amidinate ligands containing terphenyl substituents on the backbone carbon atoms are described. Three amidinate ligands featuring differing substituent
