N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are an eminent class of carbenes having a heterocyclic ring in which a divalent carbon atom is attached directly to a nitrogen atom. In the NHCs, the donation of lone pair is another important research in the dative bonding and not only in NHCs the dative bond plays a functionalized role in the other classes of complex formation like ylidones L → E ← L and carbones L

Application of micro and porous materials as nano-reactors Rev. Inorg. Chem. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2021-07-31 Lawal Adedoyin Isola, Tzu-Chia Chen, Marischa Elveny, Ayad F. Alkaim, Lakshmi Thangavelu, Ehsan Kianfar
In general, nanostructured materials with specific size, shape and geometry have unique and different properties from bulk materials. Using reaction media with nanometer and micrometer dimensions, they can produce new nanomaterials with interesting and remarkable properties. In general, nano-reactors are nanometer-sized chambers in which chemical reactions can take place. of course, nanoreactors are

Heterotridentate organodiphosphines in Pt(η3–P1X1P2)(Y) derivatives-structural aspects Rev. Inorg. Chem. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2021-07-22 Milan Melník, Peter Mikuš
This review covers over 30 examples of monomeric Pt(II) complexes of the types: Pt(η3–P1O1P2)(Y) (Y = PL, CL, OL), Pt(η3–P1N1P2)(Y) (Y = H, NL, CL, Cl, PL) and Pt(η3–P1P2N1)(Y) (Y = Cl). The heterotridentate donor ligands create 11 types of a couple chelate rings with common central atom O1 (η3–P1O1P2), N1 (η3–P1N1P2) and P2 (η3–P1P2N1). The most frequent is P1C2N1C2P2. Some cooperative effects between

Recent reports on Pyridoxal derived Schiff base complexes Rev. Inorg. Chem. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2021-06-16 Samik Gupta
Pyridoxal and Pyridoxal 5-phosphate are two among the six aqua soluble vitamers of vitamin B6. They can form Schiff bases readily due to the presence of aldehyde group. Schiff bases can offer diverse coordination possibilities for many transition metals as has been found in a large volume of research till now. The coordination complexes thus formed gives insight into the active core structure and enzymatic
