The reactions of organic azides and alkynes catalysed by copper species represent the
prototypical examples of click chemistry. The so-called CuAAC reaction (copper-catalysed …

Abstract α‐Diimine ligands have significantly shaped the coordination chemistry of most
transition metal complexes. Among them, bis (imino) acenaphthene ligands (BIANs) have …

An efficient method to synthesize novel highly sterically hindered acenaphthene-based α-
diimine ligands bearing bulky diarylmethyl moiety was achieved by two-step reactions …

A series of iridium complexes with bis (diisopropylphenyl) iminoacenaphtene (dpp-bian)
ligands,[Ir (cod)(dpp-bian) Cl](1),[Ir (cod)(NO)(dpp-bian)](BF4) 2 (2) and [Ir (cod)(dpp …

Two new isomeric complexes [CuBr2 (R-bian)](R= 4-Me-Ph (1), 2-Me-Ph (2)) were obtained
by reacting copper (II) bromide with 1, 2-bis [(2-methylphenyl) imino] acenaphthene ligands …

Reaction of VCl3 with bis [N-(2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imino] acenaphthene (dpp-bian) in air
afforded [VOCl2 (dpp-bian)](1). The complex was characterized by IR and UV-vis …

Currently, the most popular molecular photosensitizers used for synthetic organic chemistry
and energy applications are still the noble-metal-based ruthenium and iridium complexes …

Mechanochemistry is well-established in the solid-phase synthesis of inorganic materials
but has rarely been employed for molecular syntheses. In recent years, there has been …

Two complementary catalytic systems are reported for the 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of
azides and iodoalkynes. These are based on two commercially available/readily available …

Five dinuclear copper (I) complexes of the type [Cu {κN, κN′-5-R-NC4H2-2-C (H) N (2, 6-
iPr2C6H3)}] 2 (1a–e; R= 2, 4, 6-iPr3C6H2 (a), R= 2, 6-Me2C6H3 (b), R= 3, 5-(CF3) 2C6H3 …
