The metal-to-ligand stoichiometry and metal identity are of primary importance for the development of metal complexes of thiosemicarbazones as effective inhibitors of tubulin polymerization.
A Pt(II) tripyridine salt is reported, which is reversible to acetonitrile and irreversible to methanol, because of the different hydrogen bonding.
A non-labile bis(terpyridine)-CdII complex was designed, synthesized, and utilized for the construction of an array of metlloligands through multiple reactions, eventually leading to the successful quantitative self-assembly of a metallocatenane.
A heterodinuclear CuICoII complex of an asymmetric sulphur-containing cryptand gives rise to efficient visible light-driven CO2-to-CO conversion based on synergistic catalysis between Cu and Co.
Enabled by the unique fragmentation of a 5-aryloxy-substituted 2-furylcarbinol derivative, a self-immolative linker endows a mechanophore for achieving the mechanically triggered release of two distinct cargo molecules with tunable kinetic profiles.
