RECENT APPLICATIONS OF THE ORGANIC PHOTOCATALYST 1,2,3,5-TETRAKIS(CARBAZOL-9-YL)- 4,6-DICIANOBENZENE IN CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS. Ruthenium and iridium polypyridine complexes are among the most employed photocatalysts described in literature. The broad applicability is due to the redox potentials and long half-life times of the excited state which these molecules presented. The pursuit for metal-free alternatives has been intensified in the last few years, therefore, many organic fluorophores were successfully employed as photocatalysts. Among them, 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazol-9-yl)- 4,6-dicianobenzene (4CzIPN) recently drawn attention of the community, and it’s been widely employed by distinguished research groups. Recent studies have shown that this catalyst do not only present similar properties to transition metal complexes, but also, its synthesis can be accomplished more easily and less expensive when compared with the metallic photocatalysts above mentioned. Therefore, 4CzIPN constitutes a metal-free alternative to replace transition metal complexes in conventional photochemical protocols. Moreover, it’s as a powerful ally in the development of new photochemical approaches. In this work, we aim to summarize recent applications of 4CzIPN as catalyst in the emerging field of redox photocatalysis.

This is the first review dealing with the coordination chemistry of metal complexes with Girard's reagents and their hydrazones. The short introduction points out to chemical properties and significance of these organic compounds. The next section briefly describes synthetic methods for preparing complexes with Girard's reagents, as well as modes of coordination of these ligands. The last two extensive sections review the preparation, stereochemistry and structural characteristics of metal complexes with Girard's hydrazones, including some newer non-hydrazonic derivatives of Girard's reagents, also.

Abstract The addition reactions of N,N′-bis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine (1) with [(cod)2Ni] and [(Ph3P)AuCl] yield yellow [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) and colorless [(1)(Ph3P)AuCl]·3MeOH (3), respectively. In these transition metal complexes of nickel(0) and gold(I) 1 acts as a bidentate chelating ligand. Crystal structures of [(1)Ni(η4-cod)]·3THF (2a) and of cosolvent-free [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) reveal a distorted tetrahedral environment of the nickel atom. The gold(I) atom in 3 exhibits a very long Au-Cl bond of 296.2(1) pm. In contrast to the nickel complexes, compound 3 shows strong agostic interactions between gold(I) and a methylene fragment.
