The chemistry of (P,C)-cyclometalated complexes derived from naphthyl phosphines [Np(P,C)M] is presented and analysed in this review.
Cyclometalated (N,C) and (N,C,C) Au(III) complexes were synthesised via a robust microwave-assisted protocol.
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.
Naphthalenyl- and anthracenylpyridine cyclometalating ligands bind to Pt in different ways, which can be used to tune their emissive properties.
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.
