The concept of a molecular-based electronic technology has been evolving for over 50
years, and the development of molecular designs for such components over this period has …

This essay for EurJIC's cluster issue on cooperative and redox non‐innocent ligands
introduces the reader to redox‐active ligands, which range from the small archetypical …

In this Perspective, we highlight the non-innocent behaviour of the bridging ligand in
organometallic polynuclear metallic complexes displaying metal-carbon σ bonds between …

Described in this review is the chemistry of 3 d metal alkynyls based on tetraaza macrocyclic
ligands. Both the abundance of 3 d metals and easy access to the tetraazacyclotetradecane …

Two ruthenium atoms are covalently connected to the para positions of a phenyl ring in 1, 2,
4, 5-tetra (2-pyridyl) benzene (tpb) to form a linear Ru–tpb–Ru arrangement. This unique …

The platinum butadiynyl complex trans-(C6F5)(p-tol3P) 2Pt (CC) 2H and a CuI adduct of a 1,
10-phenanthroline based 33-membered macrocycle react in the presence of K2CO3 and I2 …

Dimers of [Ru2 (Xap) 4] bridged by 1, 3, 5-hexatriyn-diyl (Xap are 2-anilinopyridinate and its
aniline substituted derivatives),[Ru2 (Xap) 4] 2 (μ-C6)(1), were prepared. Compounds 1 …

We describe the chemistry of 3d metal alkynyls based on polyaza macrocyclic ligands, an
emerging area of alkynyl chemistry that has previously been dominated by 4d and 5d metals …

trans-Fe (depe) 2I2 (depe= 1, 2-bis (diethylphosphino) ethane) was employed to stepwise
incorporate Fe (II) centers into a rigid-rod butadiyne based 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraferratetracosa …

Reaction of [FeCl (dppe) Cp*] with [Mo (C CC6H4-4-C CH)(dppe)(η-C7H7)], 1, and
NaBPh4 in methanol gives the alkynylvinylidene complex [{Fe (dppe) Cp*}{μ-C CC6H4 (H) …
