The design and synthesis of a supramolecular square was achieved by coordination-driven assembly of redox-active nickel(ii) salen linkers and (ethylenediamine)palladium(ii) nodes.

Three instances of the involvement of dioxygen-derived radicals in biological systems are considered. The first concerns the formation of radicals in the haemolytic reactions induced by treatment of erythrocytes by phenylhydrazine, as an example of the so-called ‘oxidant drugs’. The evidence for the formation of phenyl radicals is considered and their origin in the oxidation of phenylhydrazine by a ferryl derivative of haemoglobin postulated. The relevance to the formation of phenylated iron and porphyrin species is described. It is suspected that many instances of oxidative damage to cellular systems result from the coincidence of unsequestered redox-active metal ions (particularly those of iron and copper), reductants, and dioxygen. As an example, the damage to hepatocytes, grown in a culture medium containing cysteine, is described. The formation of radical species derived from dioxygen during the respiratory burst associated with phagocytosis is discussed. A new electrochemical method of detecting the superoxide ion produced during the respiratory burst is described. Particular emphasis is placed on the relation between the production of radical species such as the hydroxyl radical and the superoxide ion, and the extent of phagocytosis.

Three ligand molecules coordinate under their anionic diamagnetic form; the complexes (Gd, Eu, Yb, Lu) can undergo reversible oxidations, affording radical species, as demonstrated by spectro-electrochemistry.

Divalent silicon species, the so-called silylenes, represent attractive organosilicon building blocks. Isolable stable silylenes remain scarce, and in most hitherto reported examples, the silicon center is stabilized by electron-donating substituents (e.g., heteroatoms such as nitrogen), which results in electronic perturbation. In order to avoid such electronic perturbation, we have been interested in the chemistry of reactive silylenes with carbon-based substituents such as ferrocenyl groups. Due to the presence of a divalent silicon center and the redox-active transition metal iron, ferrocenylsilylenes can be expected to exhibit interesting redox behavior. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a bis(ferrocenyl)silirane as a precursor for a bis(ferrocenyl)silylene, which could potentially be used as a building block for redox-active organosilicon compounds. It was found that the isolated bis(ferrocenyl)siliranes could be a bottleable precursor for the bis(ferrocenyl)silylene under mild conditions.

One-electron oxidation of the lanthanide complexes affords phenoxyl radical species. Radical formation is accompanied by a quenching of the metal-based luminescence.

We describe the design and synthesis of ferrocene dimers and trimers bridged by an oligothiophene spacer as both cathodic and anodic multiple redox-active organic–organometallic hybrid molecules. The electrochemical properties of all compounds were examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The voltammograms showed different multi-step, multi-electron redox reactions derived from multi-ferrocene fragments and the organic spacer. The results indicate that a number of thiophene rings in the spacer can be attuned to the redox potentials and the electron-transfer processes.
