Burn wound infection can progress to sepsis and is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms are high in burn patients; these organisms can be transmitted between patients leading to poor outcomes. To characterize patient-to-patient transmission of pathogens causing burn wound colonization at a single tertiary hospital burn center in Hamilton, Canada from 2011 to 2020.

We report an unexpected rearrangement of a deprotonated picolyl-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand from N,C-chelate to N,N-chelate in three-legged piano-stool Fe(II) and Ru(II) complexes. The reaction mechanism has been explored for one of the Fe(II) complexes. Experimental and computational studies suggest an unusual intermediate featuring a four-membered chelate ring, where the NHC and the α-carbon of one of the N-substituents coordinate to the Fe(II) center.
