For the last few decades, coordination chemists have seen many ligands whose role
pervades far beyond being a supporting ancillary. The ambiguity in their electronic structure …

A series of yellow-emitting, pseudo-octahedral Zn (II) complexes supported by monoanionic,
tridentate acetylacetone-derived N^ N–^ O ligands incorporating phenanthridine (benzo [c] …

Earth-abundant and cheaper zinc-based organometallic molecules as luminophores are
drawing significant research attention for solid-state lighting devices. In this paper, we report …

A photoactive zinc β-diketiminate complex spans a wide redox window of 3.97 V at its
excited state. Having a highly reducing excited-state potential, it generates an electrophilic …

The redox‐active nature of a pincer has been exploited to conduct C− C cross‐coupling
reactions under mild conditions. A nickel complex with a NNN pincer was dimeric in the solid …

The formazan ligands have been investigated as redox-noninnocent backbones for a long
time. Despite their well-established behaviour as redox reservoirs, the demonstration of …

A visible-light-induced photoredox-catalyzed tandem radical addition/cyclization of 2-
alkenylphenols and CBr4 is developed. This protocol features mild and redox-neutral …

Three non‐fused A− D− A'− D− A π‐conjugated metal‐free small molecules BT‐IT1, BT‐
IBT2 and BT2F‐IBT3 have been synthesized and their absorption characteristics and redox …

Abstract The complex [Zn (C 7 N 2 H 6) 2 (C 8 O 4 H 5) 2] was synthesized by benzimidazole
(bim), isophthalic acid (ipH 2) and ZnCl 2. The Zn 2+ is four coordinated and connected to …

There are several strategies in modifying the electronic structure of molecules. Functional
group modification is perhaps the most used approach. In this thesis, I explore a different …
