Article Abstract
In this paper, data from a DFT-based computational study on the reactivity of [Cu(2,2'--bpy)]PF6 ( indicating substitution by methyl groups at the 6 and/or 6' position and ranging from 0 to 100% through 50%) homoleptic complexes based toward tButOOH were presented. Computational results, supported by cyclic voltammetry analysis, prove the feasibility of finely tuning the chemical properties of the complexes and their reactivity by means of insertion of methyl moieties in selected positions within the bipyridine scaffold.

Iron complexes bearing chiral salicyloxazoline (Salox) ligands catalyze the enantioselective intramolecular C-H bond amination of alkyl azides, reaching 58-76% ee for benzylic C-H bonds. Further, for the first time aliphatic C-H bond amination is demonstrated (∼40% ee). This class of catalysts even activates primary aliphatic C-H bonds, albeit with moderate ee.

[NiFe]-hydrogenase enzymes process H at a nonplanar tetracysteinato-Ni site, the sole participator in proton binding/redox chemistry during turnover. With the objective of assessing whether a simple tetrahedral/tetrathiolato-Ni core could promote H evolution reaction (HER), we synthesized (EtN)[Ni(S--CF-Ph)] () employing -trifluoromethylbenzenethiolate (S--CF-Ph) as a Ni-site analog of [NiFe]-hydrogenase. Spectroscopic measurements and X-ray crystallography confirm the distorted tetrahedral geometry of .

Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a major public health concern with limited therapeutic options and significant toxicity associated with current treatments. In this work, eight novel heteroleptic complexes of the type [M(L)(phen)], where M = Cu(II) or Zn(II), L = coumarin-thiosemicarbazone hybrid ligands, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, were synthesized and fully characterized in the solid state and in solution. For comparison, some homoleptic [Cu(HL)₂], [Zn(HL)₂], and [CuCl(HL)] complexes were also prepared.

The response of two differently entangled, Zn-containing, pillared metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) toward quinolines and pyridines was studied. The corresponding products have been defined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, when possible through single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations. These two MOFs have similar chemical compositions, each consisting of a dicarboxylate linker (4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylate or 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate) and the same bis-amide-bis-pyridine pillar.

We report the design and synthesis of two novel phenanthroline-based ligands, a catechol-functionalized derivative (: 4,7-(4-catechol)-2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ligand and its methoxy analogue (). These ligands were used to prepare four Cu-(I) complexes: two homoleptic bis-diimine Cu-(I) complexes ( and ) and two xantphos-based heteroleptic diimine-diphosphine derivatives ( and ). Their photophysical and electrochemical properties were characterized by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
