Self-assembly of organometallic macrocycles and cages

Neutral metallamacrocycles with four or ten metal centers were obtained by reaction of [(R3P)PdCl2]2 with 2,3-dihydroxypyridine and derivatives or 2-hydroxynicotinic acid in the presence of base. In all these assemblies, the two O-donor atoms of the ligand ...

Isomerization mechanisms of a labile Co(II) octahedral complex

André Merbach, Lothar Helm, Fabrice Riblet

The labile cobalt (II) complex [Co(TUF)2(Pic)2] with 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione (TUF) bidentate and 4-methylpyridine (Pic) monodentate ligands was studied by variable temp. (VT) 19F NMR from 184 to 312 K. In contrast to the solid state, ...

Stable 8-hydroxyquinolinate-based podates as efficient sensitizers of lanthanide near-infrared luminescence

Jean-Claude Bünzli, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Steve Comby

New polydentate ligands (e.g., Tsox and TsoxMe) have been synthesized to take advantage of the chelating effect of bidentate 8-hydroxyquinolinate subunits connected to a N,N,N¢,N¢-tetraaminopropyl-1,2-ethylenediamine framework and with the aim of sensitizi ...
