Stabilization of transition metals in unusually low coordination numbers, in particular two-or
quasi-two-coordinated metal centers is a challenging area of interest in coordination …

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with d7 electronic configurations often require designer
ligands to satisfy the metals electronic conditions to achieve large angular momentum …

The β-diketiminate supporting group,[ArNCRCHCRNAr]−, stabilizes low coordination
number complexes. Four such complexes, where R= tert-butyl, Ar= 2, 6-diisopropylphenyl …

Abstract Terphenylgermanium Ar* Ge [Ar*= C6H3 (2, 6‐Trip) 2, Trip= 2, 4, 6‐C6H2iPr3] was
found to act as a novel μ2‐Ge‐bis (hexahapto‐Trip) bridging ligand. Deprotonated terphenyl …

The direct reactions of the large terphenyl thiols HSAriPr4 (AriPr4=− C6H3-2, 6-(C6H3-2, 6-
iPr2) 2) and HSAriPr6 (AriPr6=− C6H3-2, 6-(C6H2-2, 4, 6-iPr3) 2) with stoichiometric …

The “masked” terminal Zn sulfide,[K (2.2. 2‐cryptand)][MeLZn (S)](2)(MeL={(2, 6‐iPr2C6H3)
NC (Me)} 2CH), was isolated via reaction of [MeLZnSCPh3](1) with 2.3 equivalents of KC8 in …

A series of heteroleptic aryl copper (I) thiolato complexes of formula {Cu2 (SAr) Mes} 2 (Ar=

Treatment of Fe {N (SiMe3) 2} 2 with 2 equiv of the appropriate phenol or thiol affords the
dimers {Fe (OC6H2-2, 6-Bu t 2-4-Me) 2} 2 (1) and {Fe (OC6H3-2, 6-Bu t 2) 2} 2 (2) or the …

Metalloproteins activate inert molecules under mild conditions by exploiting the low‐
coordinated metal centers formed in protein pockets. The creation of biomimetic metal …

Bulky thiolato ligands have been developed for creating biomimetic model complexes of
active sites in metalloenzymes. Herein, we report a series of di-ortho-substituted …
