Preparation, characterization and redox chemistry of oxo-centered triruthenium dimers linked by bis(diphenylphosphino)anthracene and -ferrocene

Comprehensive Review on Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Phosphorus (PIII, PIV, PV) Substituted Acenes with More Than Two Fused Benzene Rings

This comprehensive review, covering the years 1968-2022, is not only a retrospective investigation of a certain group of linearly fused aromatics, called acenes, but also a presentation of the current state of the knowledge on the synthesis, reactions, and applications of these compounds. Their characteristic feature is substitution of the aromatic system by one, two, or three organophosphorus groups, which determine their properties and applications. The (P^III, P^IV, P^V) phosphorus atom in organophosphorus groups is linked to the acene directly by a P-C_sp2 bond or indirectly through an oxygen atom by a P-O-C_sp2 bond.

Preparation and characterization of novel oxo-centered basic p-chlorobenzoic bridging trinuclear complexes

Three new oxo-centered trinuclear complexes, one of them a mixed-valence complex [Mn3O(C7H4O2Cl)6(Py)3]Py (1) and the others, mixed-metal complexes of [Fe2MnO(C7H4O2Cl)6(Py)3]NO3 (2) and [Fe2CoO(C7H4O2Cl)6(Py)3] (3) were synthesized by the direct reaction between metal nitrates and p-chlorobenzoic acid. These complexes were characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), atomic absorption spectroscopy and spectral (IR, electronic) studies. These are new type of oxo-bridged mixed-metal complexes in which the carboxylate ligand is pchlorobenzoic acid. The UV spectra of the complexes exhibited a strong band in the region 42,500 cm-1 which is related to the (? ? ?*) transitions of the pyridine ligand. The IR spectra of these compounds showed two strong stretching vibrations bands, indicating a bridging coordination mode of the carboxylic group of the ligand in the complexes.
