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

The useful optoelectronic properties of cationic iridium (III) complexes have been exploited
in diverse applications, from visual displays to biological probes to analytical sensors. It is …

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

Abstract Bis (arylimino) acenaphthene (Ar-BIAN) ligands have been recognized as robust
scaffolds for metal complexes since the 1990 s and most of their coordination chemistry was …

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 …

Reactions of various substituted bis (imino) acenaphthenes (R‐BIANs) with FeCl2 (thf) 1.5
afforded the tetrahedral complexes (R‐BIAN) FeCl2 (2) from bulky α‐diimines and the …

Our society's current energy demands are largely met by the exploitation of fossil fuels,
which are unsustainable and environmentally harmful resources. However, Nature has …

Redox properties of monoiminoacenaphthenes (MIANs) were studied using various
electrochemical techniques. The potential values obtained were used for calculating the …

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 …

A bis-imino-acenaphthenequinone (BIAN)–fluorene copolymer (π conjugated polymer
bearing BIAN and fluorene units) binder was designed, synthesised and used for the …
