In this article synthesis, characterization and DFT study of two polynuclear zinc(II) complexes with reduced Schiff base have been reported.

Formation of hydrogen bonding network in a trinuclear linear mixed-valence centrosymmetric cobalt(III)–cobalt(II)–cobalt(III) complex has been analyzed using DFT calculations.

A trinuclear cobalt(III)-cobalt(II)-cobalt(III) complex has been synthesized and used to fabricate a Schottky barrier diode. The conductivity of the synthesized complex-based device improves considerably in illumination conditions from the non-illuminated conditions.

New ethylene-bridged N-heterocyclic carbene ligand systems and their respective transition metal complexes are characterized and the electronic properties are discussed.

A Ni²⁺ nanocomplex based on a heterocyclic ligand containing a pyrazole moiety was developed in this work, and its electric conductivity and dielectric characteristics were studied.

We synthesized a crystalline dumbbell-shaped Ti10, which effectively enhances charge transfer. As a result, it exhibits remarkably high conversion activity and selectivity in the photocatalytic oxidative coupling reaction of benzylamine.

Luminescent, alkyl chain functionalised Ir(III) complexes have been synthesised, characterised and studied in microemulsion environments showing retention of emissive behaviour.

[AuPh(CNPh)]₂ complexes are modeled, and their electronic properties, optical properties, and solid state chemistry are studied.

Three phenylpyridine diamide ligands displayed high selectivity for Pu(IV) over other metals in a HNO₃ medium. They also demonstrated good stripping ability and reusability, with reasonable radiolytic stability up to an absorbed dose of 100 kGy.

The synthesis of a new family of seven new coordination complexes, with remarkable cytotoxicity and high selectivity index towards cancer cells when compared to peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is reported.

In this study, Raman spectroscopy along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed for characterization of three different selenium-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes synthesized from their respective salts.

The binuclear azido terpyridine Pd(II) complex underwent the catalyst-free cycloaddition coupling with alkyne affording triazolate analogues. The coordination mode of the triazolate ring was assigned with the aid of quantum chemical calculations.

A catalytic and highly regioselective method for the rearrangement of aryl-pentadienyl ethers into the corresponding ortho- or para-alkylated products.

Dinuclear iridium complexes with the general formula (C^N)₂Ir(μ-Cl)₂Ir(C^N)₂ (C^N = bidentate ligand with carbon and nitrogen donor atoms) were prepared and used in catalytic systems for N-alkylation of amines through the hydrogen borrowing pathway.
