Magnesium bis(amidinate) and bis(guanidinate) complexes: impact of the ligand backbone and bridging groups on the coordination behaviour

By dealing with various bis(amidine)s or bis(guanidine)s and different magnesium sources, we got a full house of homoleptic complexes. However, the joker card showing a heteroleptic complex is waiting to be used.

Exploring oxidovanadium(iv) homoleptic complexes with 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives as prospective antitrypanosomal agents

[VIVO(L-H)2] and [VVO(OCH3)(L-H)2] compounds of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives L showed activity against Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum and high selectivities. Metallomics and interaction with BSA, apo-HTF and DNA were studied.

Heteroleptic complexesviasolubility control: examples of Cu(ii), Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Mn(ii) complexes based on the derivatives of terpyridine and hydroxyquinoline

We describe the preparation of synthetically challenging heteroleptic complexes by considering the solubility properties of their corresponding favored homoleptic complexes.

Three-component nanorotors generated from fusion of complexes and post-fusion metal–metal exchange

The fusion of two homoleptic complexes quantitatively created a novel three-component nanorotor.

An organolanthanide(iii) single-molecule magnet with an axial crystal-field: influence of the Raman process over the slow relaxation

We report the synthesis and magnetic properties of a series of new organometallic homoleptic complexes Li(DME)3[Ln(DAD)2] (Ln = Dy (1a, 1b), Tb(2), and Er(3)).

Homoleptic complexes of a porphyrinatozinc(ii)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand

The syntheses and electrochemical and photophysical properties of the homoleptic complexes [Zn(1)2][PF6], [Fe(1)2][PF6] and [Ru(1)2][PF6] where 1 is the metalloligand 7-(4-([2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin]-4′-yl)phenyl)-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinatozinc(ii) are reported.
