The chemistry of (P,C)-cyclometalated complexes derived from naphthyl phosphines [Np(P,C)M] is presented and analysed in this review.
Cyclometalation of 2-arylbenzimidazoles decorated with various polyaromatic fragments leads to formation of strongly absorbing iridium dyes applicable in DSSC and enables access to structurally diverse iridium(III) complexes.
Di-CF3-functionalized benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium pro-chelates were employed in the selective syntheses of fac-coordinated Ir(III) carbene emitters for efficient blue electroluminescence and hyperphosphorescence.
This review provides an overview of the research advaces in Ni-, Cu-, Fe- and Co-catalyzed directed C(sp3)–H bond functionalization reactions; including design principles, mechanistic discussions, along with potential applications and limitations.
A new Z-selective cyclometalated cyclic(amino)(alkyl)carbene Ru-complex was synthesized. It demonstrated high Z-selectivity in various self- and cross-metathesis reactions.
