Abstract
We report the preparation and characterization of the dinuclear AuII hydroxide complex AuII 2(L)2(OH)2 (L=N,N'-bis (2,6-dimethyl) phenylformamidinate) and study its reactivity towards weak X-H bonds. Through the interplay of kinetic analysis and computational studies, we demonstrate that the oxidation of cyclohexadiene follows a concerted proton-coupled electron transfer (cPCET) mechanism, a rare type of reactivity for Au complexes. We find that the Au-Au σ-bond undergoes polarization in the PCET event leading to an adjustment of oxidation levels for both Au centers prior to C(sp3)-H bond cleavage. We thus describe the oxidation event as a valence tautomerism-induced PCET where the basicity of one reduced Au-OH unit provides a proton acceptor and the second more oxidized Au center serves as an electron acceptor. The coordination of these events allows for unprecedented radical-type reactivity by a closed shell AuII complex.

Abstract
Transition metal complexes featuring redox-active ligands often exhibit multiple redox states, influenced by the interplay between the metal center and the ligand. This study delves into the electronic structures of two mononuclear complexes of copper with two similar redox-active urea azine ligands. The ligands differ by the replacement of an NCH3 moiety by an S atom in the ligand backbone. Experimental analysis yields pronounced electronic structural disparities between these complexes, observable in both the solution and solid phases. Conventional quantum chemical methods, such as density functional theory using different functionals (B3LYP, TPSSh, and CAM-B3LYP), remain inadequate to rationalize the observed spectroscopic anomalies. However, a multiconfigurational approach elucidates the disparate behaviors of these complexes. Multireference perturbation theory, based on complete active space self-consistent field computations, identifies Cu(I) in the case of the complex with the NCH3 containing ligands and a state with substantial Cu(II) contributions in the case of the complex with the S atom containing ligands. In contrast, DFT indicates Cu(I) in both scenarios.

Hexaguanidino-Triptycenes and Triphenylenes: Electronic Coupling in Molecules Containing Three Redox-Active o-Diguanidinobenzene Units Connected either Directly or Interacting Through Homoconjugation. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202301903. [PMID: 37815019 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202301903] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
Novel redox-active hexaguanidine molecules with multiple redox states were synthesized by connecting three o-diguanidinobenzene units. In 2,3,6,7,14,15-hexaguanidino-triptycenes, the three redox-active o-diguanidinobenzene units are connected through C-C bonds to the sp3 -hybridized bridgehead C atoms, and in 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaguanidino-triphenylenes they are directly connected. The connectivity difference leads to different electronic coupling between the three redox-active o-diguanidinobenzene units, with homoconjugation being present in the triptycene, but not in the triphenylene compounds. Motivated by the appearance of an intense low-energy electronic transition, we especially analysed the effect of homoconjugation on the electronic structure and charge delocalization in the dicationic redox state of the triptycene derivatives. Then, several trinuclear high-spin cobalt (and copper) complexes were synthesized with the triphenylene and triptycene ligands, and the magnetic coupling and redox properties analysed. By choice of the coligands (hexafluoroacetylacetonate, trifluoroacetylacetonate and acetylacetonate), oxidation could be switched between metal- and ligand-centered redox events, leading to drastic changes in the magnetic or optical properties, especially as a consequence of homoconjugation in the triptycene derivatives.

Abstract
The ability of the imine PyCH═N-CH2Py (Py = 2-pyridyl, bpi) to behave as a heteroditopic ligand, which is suitable for creating two separate compartments to host metals in different oxidation states, has been developed by studying the reactions of the mixed-valence complexes [(cod)M-Ι(μ-bpi)MΙ(cod)] (M = Rh, Ir) with [M'(Cl)2(PPh3)2] (M' = Pd, Ni). The results depend on the molar ratio of the reagents used (1:1 or 1:2) to give the heterometallic complexes {d10-M',d8-M}-[(PPh3)(Cl)M'0(μ-bpi)MΙ(cod)] (Pd,Rh, 4; Pd,Ir, 5; Ni,Rh, 8; Ni,Ir, 9) and the two-electron mixed-valent compounds [(PPh3)(Cl)M'0(μ-bpi)M'ΙΙ(Cl)] (M' = Ni, 10; Pd, 11), respectively. A redox process occurs in the replacement of the low-valent [(cod)M-I] fragment, whereas the exchange of the [(cod)MI] fragment is redox-neutral. The metal with a d8 configuration in the products exhibits a square-planar geometry coordinated to two (Rh/Ir) or three (Ni/Pd) nitrogen atoms of the bridging bpi ligand. Conversely, the metal with a d10 configuration adopts trigonal-planar geometries, π-bonded to the imine C═N bond. The isolated complexes 4/5 and 10/11, along with the hypothetical heterometallic Pd,Ni compound (12), were studied by DFT methods. Additionally, the T-shaped moiety 'M'ΙΙ(PPh3)(Cl)(η1-CH-N(bpi))', stabilized by a secondary γ-agostic interaction, and the 'M'II(Cl)(κ3N-bpi)' fragment was found to be accessible redoxomers of complexes 10 and 11 by DFT calculations.

Abstract
Ditopic di-o-quinone with a resorcinol bridge exhibits the ability to self-assemble in a reaction with copper, giving a cage-like binuclear complex that, due to the cofacially placed metal ions, is capable of encapsulation of different solvent molecules as guest ligands. Notably, the geometry of the internal cavity of this complex adjusts depending on the coordinating properties of the encapsulated molecule (mono- or bidentate). A feature of this species is that the cage-forming units are copper(II) bis-semiquinonate moieties, capable of undergoing ligand-centered redox transformations. Electrochemical and EPR spectroscopy studies showed that there is a channel for intramolecular electronic exchange interactions between the redox centres of the molecule.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on global health, highlighting the need to understand how the SARS-CoV-2 virus damages the lungs in order to develop effective treatments. Recent research has shown that patients with COVID-19 experience severe oxidative damage to various biomolecules. We propose that the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in SARS-CoV-2 infection involves an interaction between copper ions and the virus's spike protein. We tested two peptide fragments, Ac-ELDKYFKNH-NH2 (L1) and Ac-WSHPQFEK-NH2 (L2), derived from the spike protein of the Wuhan strain and the β variant, respectively, and found that they bind Cu(II) ions and form a three-nitrogen complexes at lung pH. Our research demonstrates that these complexes trigger the overproduction of ROS, which can break both DNA strands and transform DNA into its linear form. Using A549 cells, we demonstrated that ROS overproduction occurs in the mitochondria, not in the cytoplasm. Our findings highlight the importance of the interaction between copper ions and the virus's spike protein in the development of lung damage and may aid in the development of therapeutic procedures.

Abstract
The exchange coupling, represented by the J parameter, is of tremendous importance in understanding the reactivity and magnetic behavior of open-shell molecular systems. In the past, it was the subject of theoretical investigations, but these studies are mostly limited to the interaction between metallic centers. The exchange coupling between paramagnetic metal ions and radical ligands has hitherto received scant attention in theoretical studies, and thus the understanding of the factors governing this interaction is lacking. In this paper, we use DFT, CASSCF, CASSCF/NEVPT2, and DDCI3 methods to provide insight into exchange interaction in semiquinonato copper(II) complexes. Our primary objective is to identify structural features that affect this magnetic interaction. We demonstrate that the magnetic character of Cu(II)-semiquinone complexes are mainly determined by the relative position of the semiquinone ligand to the Cu(II) ion. The results can support the experimental interpretation of magnetic data for similar systems and can be used for the in-silico design of magnetic complexes with radical ligands.

Abstract
The field of molecular transition metal complexes with redox-active ligands is dominated by compounds with one or two units of the same redox-active ligand; complexes in which different redox-active ligands are bound to the same metal are uncommon. This work reports the first molecular coordination compounds in which redox-active bisguanidine or urea azine (biguanidine) ligands as well as oxolene ligands are bound to the same cobalt atom. The combination of two different redox-active ligands leads to mono- as well as unprecedented dinuclear cobalt complexes, being multiple (four or six) center redox systems with intriguing electronic structures, all exhibiting radical ligands. By changing the redox potential of the ligands through derivatisation, the electronic structure of the complexes could be altered in a rational way.

Abstract
Redox-isomeric coordination compounds, in which the magnetic and optical properties could be varied by a stimulated intramolecular electron transfer between the metal and a redox-active ligand, are of interest for several applications in catalysis and materials science. In this work, the redox chemistry of cobalt complexes with redox-active bisguanidine ligands is studied; systematic modifications at the redox-active bisguanidine and the co-ligand units allow for fine-tuning of the electronic structure, which eventually leads to the first observation of redox isomerism for cobalt complexes with redox-active guanidine ligands. Redox isomerism is triggered by a change in the solvent properties.

Abstract
The combination of a cobalt-dioxolene core that exhibits valence tautomerism (VT) with pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid functionalized with chains bearing two, four, or six oxyethylene units led to new complexes ConEGEspy (n = 2, 4, and 6). These complexes commonly form violet crystals of the low-spin (ls)-[CoIII (nEGEspy)2 (3,6-DTBSQ)(3,6-DTBCat)] (ls-[CoIII ], 3,6-DTBSQ = 3,6-di-tert-butyl semiquinonato, 3,6-DTBCat = 3,6-di-tert-butyl catecholato). Interestingly, violet crystals of Co2EGEspy in the ls-[CoIII ] transitioned into a green liquid, accompanied by an almost complete VT shift (94 %) to the high-spin (hs)-[CoII (nEGEspy)2 (3,6-DTBSQ)2 ] (hs-[CoII ]) upon melting. In contrast, violet crystals of Co4EGEspy and Co6EGEspy in the ls-[CoIII ] exhibited partial VT (33 %) and only a 9.3 % VT shift after melting, respectively. These data demonstrate the tunability of the synchronicity of the molecular VT and macroscopic solid-liquid transitions by optimizing the tethered chains, thus establishing a new strategy for coupling bistable molecules with the macroscopic world.

Abstract
Two homoleptic copper(II) complexes [Cu(L1)2 ] and [Cu(L2)2 ] with anionic redox-active ligands were synthesised, one with urea azine (L1) and the other with thio-urea azine (L2) ligands. One-electron oxidation of the complexes initiates an unprecedented redox-induced electron transfer process, leading to monocationic copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1)2 ]+ and [Cu(L2)2 ]+ with two oxidised ligands. While [Cu(L1)2 ]+ is best described as a CuI complex with two neutral radical ligands that couple antiferromagnetically, [Cu(L2)2 ]+ is a CuI complex with two clearly different ligand units in the solid state and with a magnetic susceptibility close to a diamagnetic compound. Further one-electron oxidation of the complex with L1 ligands results in a dication [Cu(L1)2 ]2+ , best described as a CuI complex with a twofold oxidised, monocationic ligand and a neutral radical ligand. The stability in at least three redox states, the accumulation of spin density at the ligands and the facile ligand-metal electron transfer make these complexes highly attractive for a variety of applications; here the catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes is tested.

Abstract
Pyroelectricity plays a crucial role in modern sensors and energy conversion devices. However, obtaining materials with large and nearly constant pyroelectric coefficients over a wide temperature range for practical uses remains a formidable challenge. Attempting to discover a solution to this obstacle, we combined molecular design of labile electronic structure with the crystal engineering of the molecular orientation in lattice. This combination results in electronic pyroelectricity of purely molecular origin. Here, we report a polar crystal of an [FeCo] dinuclear complex exhibiting a peculiar pyroelectric behavior (a substantial sharp pyroelectric current peak and an unusual continuous pyroelectric current at higher temperatures) which is caused by a combination of Fe spin crossover (SCO) and electron transfer between the high-spin Fe ion and redox-active ligand, namely valence tautomerism (VT). As a result, temperature dependence of the pyroelectric behavior reported here is opposite from conventional ferroelectrics and originates from a transition between three distinct electronic structures. The obtained pyroelectric coefficient is comparable to that of polyvinylidene difluoride at room temperature. Pyroelectric materials exhibiting large and nearly constant pyroelectric coefficients over a wide temperature range are highly desirable. Here, the authors develop molecular [FeCo] crystals with continuous pyroelectricity, originating from a transition between three distinct electronic structures.

Abstract
Coordination compounds with redox-active ligands are currently intensively studied. Within this research theme, redox-active guanidines have been established as a new, eminent class of redox-active ligands. In this work the variation of metal-guanidine bonding in dinuclear transition metal complexes with bridging redox-active tetrakisguanidine ligands is analysed. A series of dinuclear complexes with different metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) is synthesized, using either newly prepared redox-active tetrakisguanidino-dioxine or previously reported tetrakisguanidino-benzene ligands. The discussion of the bond properties in this work is predominantly based on the trends of structural parameters, derived from determination of single-crystal structures by X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the trends in the redox potentials and magnetometric (SQUID) measurements on some of the complexes are included. Due to their combined σ- and π-electron donor capability, redox-active guanidine ligands are weak-field ligands; the σ- and π-bonding contributions vary with the metal. The results highlight the peculiarity of copper-guanidine bonding with a high π-bond contribution to metal-guanidine bonding, enabled by structural distortion of the coordination mode from tetrahedral in the direction of square-planar, short copper-guanidine bonds and minor displacement of the copper atoms from the ligand aromatic plane.

Abstract
The control of the redox reactivity, magnetic and optical properties of the different redox states of complexes with redox‐active ligands permits their rational use in catalysis and materials science. The redox‐chemistry of octahedrally coordinated high‐spin CoII complexes (three unpaired electrons) with one redox‐active bisguanidine ligand and two acetylacetonato (acac) co‐ligands is completely changed by replacing the acac by hexafluoro‐acetylacetonato (hfacac) co‐ligands. The first one‐electron oxidation is metal‐centered in the case of the complexes with acac co‐ligands, giving diamagnetic CoIII complexes. By contrast, in the case of the less Lewis‐basic hfacac co‐ligands, the first one‐electron oxidation becomes ligand‐centered, leading to high‐spin CoII complexes with a radical monocationic guanidine ligand unit (four unpaired electrons). Ferromagnetic coupling between the spins on the metal and the organic radical in solution is evidenced by temperature‐dependent paramagnetic NMR studies, allowing to estimate the isotropic exchange coupling constant in solution. Second one‐electron oxidation leads to high‐spin CoII complexes with dicationic guanidine ligand units (three unpaired electrons) in the presence of hfacac co‐ligands, but to low‐spin CoIII complexes with radical monocationic, peralkylated guanidine ligand (one unpaired electron) in the presence of acac co‐ligands. The analysis of the electronic structures is complemented by quantum‐chemical calculations on the spin density distributions and relative energies of the possible redox isomers.

Abstract
Octahedrally coordinated cobalt(II) complexes with a redox‐active bisguanidine ligand and acac co‐ligands were synthesized and their redox chemistry analysed in detail. The N−H functions in a bisguanidine ligand with partially alkylated guanidino groups form N−H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds with the acac co‐ligands, thereby massively influencing the redox chemistry. For all complexes, the first one‐electron oxidation is metal‐centred, leading to CoIII complexes with neutral bisguanidine ligand units. Further one‐electron oxidation is ligand‐centred in the case of Co–bisguanidine complexes with fully alkylated guanidino groups, giving CoIII complexes with radical monocationic bisguanidine ligands. On the other hand, the hydrogen‐bond strengthening upon oxidation of the Co–bisguanidine complex with partially alkylated guanidino groups initiates metal reduction (CoIII→CoII) and two‐electron oxidation of the guanidine ligand, providing the first example for the stimulation of redox‐induced electron transfer by interligand hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Intramolecular electron transfer (IET) between a redox-active organic ligand and a metal in a complex is of fundamental interest and used in a variety of applications. In this work it is demonstrated that secondary coordination sphere motifs can be applied to trigger a radical change in the electronic structure of copper complexes with a redox-active guanidine ligand through ligand-metal IET. Hence, crown ether functions attached to the ligand allow the manipulation of the degree of IET between the guanidine ligand and the copper atom through metal encapsulation.

Abstract
A pair of diastereomeric dinuclear complexes, [Tp′(CO)BrW{μ‐η2‐C,C′‐κ2‐S,P‐C2(PPh2)S}Ru(η5‐C5H5)(PPh3)], in which W and Ru are bridged by a phosphinyl(thiolato)alkyne in a side‐on carbon P,S‐chelate coordination mode, were synthesized, separated and fully characterized. Even though the isomers are similar in their spectroscopic properties and redox potentials, the like‐isomer is oxidized at W while the unlike‐isomer is oxidized at Ru, which is proven by IR, NIR and EPR‐spectroscopy supported by spectro‐electrochemistry and computational methods. The second oxidation of the complexes was shown to take place at the metal left unaffected in the first redox step. Finally, the tipping point could be realized in the unlike isomer of the electronically tuned thiophenolate congener [Tp′(CO)(PhS)W{μ‐η2‐C,C′‐κ2‐S,P‐C2(PPh2)S}Ru(η5‐C5H5)‐(PPh3)], in which valence trapped WIII/RuII and WII/RuIII cationic species are at equilibrium.

Abstract
Catalytic activity of copper(i) complexes supported by phenanthroline-containing catenane ligands towards a new C(sp3)–O dehydrogenative cross-coupling of phenols and bromodicarbonyls is reported. As the phenanthrolines are interlocked by the strong and flexible mechanical bond in the catenane, the active catalyst with an open copper coordination site can be revealed only transiently and the stable, coordinatively saturated Cu(i) pre-catalyst is quickly regenerated after substrate transformation. Compared with a control Cu(i) complex supported by non-interlocked phenanthrolines, the catenane-supported Cu(i) is highly efficient with a broad substrate scope, and can be applied in gram-scale transformations without a significant loss of the catalytic activity. This work demonstrates the advantages of the catenane ligands that provide a dynamic and responsive copper coordination sphere, highlighting the potential of the mechanical bond as a design element in transition metal catalyst development. The use of a catenane-supported copper(i) complex for the cross dehydrogenative C–O coupling of phenols and bromodicarbonyls is described.![]()

Abstract
The preparation, structures, and electrochemical and magnetic properties supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations of three new copper(II) compounds with [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-f][1,10]phenanthroline 1,1-dioxide (td) and its radical anion (td·-) are reported: {[CuIICl(td)](μ-Cl)2[CuIICl(td)]} (1), which incorporates only neutral td ligands; [CuIICl(td·-)(td)]·2MeCN (2), which comprises one neutral td and one radical td·-; and PPN[CuIICl(td·-)2]·2DMA (3), where CuII ions are coordinated by two radical anions td·- (DMA, dimethylacetamide; PPN+, the bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium cation). All three compounds show interesting paramagnetic behavior with low-temperature features indicating significant antiferromagnetic coupling. The magnetic properties of 1 are dominated by CuII···CuII interactions (JCuCu) mediated through the Cl- bridges, while the magnetic properties of 2 and 3 are governed mainly by the td·-···td·- (Jtdtd) and CuII-td·- (JCutd) exchange interactions. The structure of 2 features only two major magnetic coupling pathways enabling the fitting of experimental data with Jtdtd = -36.0(5) cm-1 and JCutd = -12.6(2) cm-1 only. Compound 3 exhibits a complex network of magnetic contacts. Attempt to approximate its magnetic behavior using only a local magnetic contacts model resulted in Jtdtd = -5.6(1) cm-1 and two JCutd constants, -12.4(2) and -22.6(4) cm-1. The experimental fitting is critically compared with the results of broken symmetry density functional theory (BS DFT) calculations for inter- and intramolecular contacts. More consistent results were obtained with the M06 functional as opposed to popular B3LYP, which encountered problems reproducing some of the experimental intermolecular exchange interactions. Electrochemical measurements of 2 and 3 in MeCN showed three reversible nearly overlapping redox peaks appearing in a narrow potential range of -600 to -100 mV vs Fc/Fc+. Small differences between the redox events suggest that such compounds may be good candidates for new switchable materials, where the electron transfer between the metal and the ligand center is triggered by temperature, pressure, or light (valence tautomerism).

Abstract
In this work, the change of reactivity induced by the introduction of two para-ethynyl substituents (CCSi(iPr)3 or CCH) to the organic electron-donor 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(tetramethylguanidino)-benzene is evaluated. The redox-properties and redox-state dependent fluorescence are evaluated, and dinuclear CuI and CuII complexes synthesized. The Lewis-acidic B(C6 F5 )3 substitutes the proton of the ethynyl -CCH groups to give new anionic -CCB(C6 F5 )3 - substituents, leading eventually to a novel dianionic strong electron donor in its diprotonated form. Its two-electron oxidation with dioxygen in the presence of a copper catalyst yields the first redox-active guanidine that is neutral (instead of cationic) in its oxidized form.

Abstract
Cationic monoboranes exhibit a rich chemistry. By constrast, only a few cationic diboranes are known, that all are symmetrically substituted. In this work, the first unsymmetrically substituted dicationic diboranes, featuring sp2 -sp2 -hybridized boron atoms, are reported. The compounds are formed by intramolecular rearrangement from preceding isomeric symmetrically substituted dicationic diboranes, a process that is catalyzed by nucleophiles. From the temperature-dependence of the isomerization rate, activation parameters for this unprecedented rearrangement are derived. The difference in fluoride ion affinity between the two boron atoms and the bonding situation in these unique unsymmetrical dicationic diboranes are evaluated.

Abstract
New redox-active 1,2,5,6-tetrakis(guanidino)-naphthalene compounds, isolable and storable in the neutral and deep-green dicationic redox states and oxidisable further in two one-electron steps to the tetracations, are reported. Protonation switches on blue fluorescence, with the fluorescence intensity (quantum yield) increasing with the degree of protonation. Reactions with N-halogenosuccinimides or N-halogenophthalimides led to a series of new redox-active halogeno- and succinimido-/phthalimido-substituted derivatives. These highly selective reactions are proposed to proceed via the tri- or tetracationic state as the intermediate. The derivatives are oxidised reversibly at slightly higher potentials than that of the unsubstituted compounds to dications and further to tri- and tetracations. The integration of redox-active ligands in the transition-metal complexes shifts the redox potentials to higher values and also allows reversible oxidation in two potentially separated one-electron steps.

Abstract
Copper catalysis finds applications in various synthetic fields by utilizing the ability of copper to sustain mono- and bielectronic elementary steps. Further to the development of well-defined copper complexes with classical ligands such as phosphines and N-heterocyclic carbenes, a new and fast-expanding area of research is exploring the possibility of a complementing metal-centered reactivity with electronic participation by the coordination sphere. To achieve this electronic flexibility, redox-active ligands can be used to engage in a fruitful “electronic dialogue” with the metal center, and provide additional venues for electron transfer. This review aims to present the latest results in the area of copper-based cooperative catalysis with redox-active ligands.

Abstract
Molecular organic radicals have been intensively studied in the last decades, due to their interesting optical, magnetic and redox properties. Here we report the synthesis and characterisation of persistent organic radicals from one-electron oxidation of redox-active azines (RAAs), composed of two guanidinyl or related groups. By connecting two different groups together, asymmetric compounds result. In this way a series of compounds with varying redox potential is obtained that could be oxidised reversibly to the mono- and the dicationic charge states. The accessible redox states were fully determined by chemical redox reactions. The standard Gibbs free energy change for disproportionation of the radical monocation into the dication and the neutral molecule in solution, estimated from cyclovoltammetric measurements, varies between 43 and 71 kJ mol-1 . While the neutral RAAs absorb predominately UV light, the radical monocations display strong absorptions covering almost the entire visible region and extending for some compounds into the NIR region. A detailed analysis of this highly reversible electrochromism is presented, and the fast switching characteristics are demonstrated in an electrochromic test device.

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are nowadays ubiquitous and indispensable in many research fields, and it is not possible to imagine modern transition metal and main group element chemistry without the plethora of available NHCs with tailor-made electronic and steric properties. While their suitability to act as strong ligands toward transition metals has led to numerous applications of NHC complexes in homogeneous catalysis, their strong σ-donating and adaptable π-accepting abilities have also contributed to an impressive vitalization of main group chemistry with the isolation and characterization of NHC adducts of almost any element. Formally, NHC coordination to Lewis acids affords a transfer of nucleophilicity from the carbene carbon atom to the attached exocyclic moiety, and low-valent and low-coordinate adducts of the p-block elements with available lone pairs and/or polarized carbon-element π-bonds are able to act themselves as Lewis basic donor ligands toward transition metals. Accordingly, the availability of a large number of novel NHC adducts has not only produced new varieties of already existing ligand classes but has also allowed establishment of numerous complexes with unusual and often unprecedented element-metal bonds. This review aims at summarizing this development comprehensively and covers the usage of N-heterocyclic carbene adducts of the p-block elements as ligands in transition metal chemistry.

Abstract
Using a potentially tridentate o-aminophenol-based redox-active ligand H2L1 (2-[2-(benzylthio)phenylamino]-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) in its deprotonated form, [Cu(L1)2] has been synthesized and crystallized as [CuII(L1)2]·CH2Cl2 (1·CH2Cl2). A cyclic voltammetry experiment (in CH2Cl2; V vs. SCE (saturated calomel electrode)) on 1·CH2Cl2 exhibits two oxidative (E = 0.20 V (peak-to-peak separation, ΔEp = 100 mV) and E = 0.90 V (ΔEp = 140 mV)) and two reductive (E = -0.52 V (ΔEp = 110 mV) and E = -0.92 V (ΔEp = 120 mV)) responses. Upon oxidation using a stoichiometric amount of [FeIII(η5-C5H5)2](PF6), 1·CH2Cl2 yielded [Cu(L1)2](PF6) (2). Structural analysis (100 K) reveals that 1·CH2Cl2 is a four-coordinate bis(iminosemiquinonato)copper(ii) complex (CuN2O2 coordination), and that the thioethers remain uncoordinated. The twisted geometry of 1 (distorted tetrahedral) results in considerable changes in the electronic structure, compared to well-known square-planar analogues. Crystallographic analysis of 2 both at 100 K and at 293 K reveals that it is effectively a four-coordinate complex with a CuN2OS coordination; however, a substantial interaction with the other phenolate O is observed. The metal-ligand bond distances and metric parameters associated with the o-aminophenolate rings indicate a valence-tautomeric (VT) equilibrium involving monocationic (iminosemiquinonato)(iminoquinone)copper(ii) and bis(iminoquinone)copper(i). Complex 1·CH2Cl2 is a three-spin system and a magnetic study (4-300 K) established that it has a S = 1/2 ground-state, owing to the strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the unpaired spin of the copper(ii) and the iminosemiquinonate(1-) π-radical anion. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectral studies corroborate this result. Complex 2 is diamagnetic and the existence of VT in 2 was probed using variable-temperature (248-328 K) 1H NMR and EPR (100-298 K) spectral measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies at 298 K. Remarkably, modification of the well-studied 2-anilino-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol by incorporation of a benzylthioether arm leads to the occurrence of VT in 2. The electronic structure of 1·CH2Cl2 and 2 has been assigned using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP-D3 level of theory. Time-dependent (TD)-DFT calculations have been performed to elucidate the origin of the observed UV-VIS-NIR absorptions.

Abstract
We propose a molecular switch based on copper dioxolene molecules with valence tautomeric properties. We study the system using density functional theory and a model Hamiltonian that can properly account for electronic correlations in these complex molecular systems. We compute the transport properties of the junction with a Cu-dioxolene unit sandwiched between gold electrodes and analyze its dependence on the valence tautomeric state of the molecule. We also study the effects of doping with ICl2 acceptor molecules on the magnetic and electronic features of the device. We find that in the absence of dopants, the Cu-dioxolene unit is weakly charged in a S = 1/2 spin state. However, the acceptors increase the charge state of the molecule and make possible a transition between the high-spin (S = 1) triplet and the low-spin (S = 0) singlet. The I-V dependence shows a manifestation of spin filtering and a voltage-induced multistable behavior that can have several applications in nanoscale electronic devices.
