In order to investigate the properties of metal to metal charge transfer (MMCT) influenced by the relative energy level between the bridging unit and the terminal unit, two groups of heterotrimetallic cyanido-metal-bridged complexes, -[Cp(dppe)Fe-CN-Ru(MeOpy)-NC-Fe(dppe)Cp][X] (1[X]n; = 2, 3, or 4; X = PF or BF) (Cp = cyclopentadiene, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, MeOpy = 4-methoxypyridine) and [Cp*(dppe)Fe-CN-Ru(MeOpy)-NC-Fe(dppe)Cp*] [X] (2[X]n; Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadiene; = 2, 3, or 4; X = PF or BF) were synthesized and fully characterized. The crystallography data suggest different oxidation sites in the ground state for one-electron oxidation products 13+ and 23+, and the electrochemical and Mössbauer spectra suggest that in the one-electron oxidation compounds 13+, the charge is delocalized all along the trimetal backbone Fe-Ru-Fe, while in 23+, the charge is rather delocalized between the two metal parts Fe-Ru. Further oxidation of N3+ gives N4+ ( = 1 or 2), during which a spin transfer towards the terminal units is observed in both series.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.

Phosphorus(V)-centered porphyrins (P(V)-porphyrins) are an important class of functional dyes in many fields of research, and axial ligands on the phosphorus atom affect the electronic properties of P(V)-porphyrins and add functions. Herein, we report on the synthesis and characterization of a hitherto unknown P(V)-porphyrin having hydrogen atoms as axial ligands (1·PF , PF is a counter anion). Synthesis of 1·PF was achieved by treatment of dichloro-derivative (2·Cl) with LiAlH followed by AgPF via hydride reduction accompanied by one-electron reduction and one-electron oxidation.

The first part of the memorial review article is devoted to a retrospective of selected topics that were the subject of pioneering studies over the period 1985-2025 by Professor Bruce Ames. Major efforts were made to develop accurate and sensitive assays including HPLC coupled with electrochemical detection for monitoring the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine in isolated cells and animal tissues. Special attention was provided to the minimization of artefactual oxidation of DNA that occurs during sample preparation.

The C-H functionalization of arenes mediated by well-defined bis(phosphine)-supported organometallic iron(III) complexes is described. One-electron oxidation of -(depe)Fe(CH) (depe = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) generated the corresponding isolable iron(III) dimethyl derivative that was unstable toward Fe-CH homolysis. Oxidation of the corresponding iron(II) bis(aryl) complex -(depe)Fe(tolyl) resulted in rapid reductive elimination of the biaryl with formation of iron(I).

Copper (2,5-dilithium-oxy)-terephthalate (Cu(Li)-p-DHT) is synthesized and thoroughly characterized using a range of analytical techniques, then evaluated electrochemically as a lithiated host material for positive electrodes in Li half-cells. When formulated as a carbon-supported organic electrode material, the compound reaches its full theoretical two-electron capacity, delivering a specific capacity of 188.2 mAh g, almost double that of previously reported M(Li)-p-DHT analogs (≈100 mAh g).
