Abstract
We have approached the construction of an artificial enzyme by employing a robust protein scaffold, lactococcal multidrug resistance regulator, LmrR, providing a structured secondary and outer coordination spheres around a molecular rhodium complex, [RhI(PEt2NglyPEt2)2]-. Previously, we demonstrated a 2-3 fold increase in activity for one Rh-LmrR construct by introducing positive charge in the secondary coordination sphere. In this study, a series of variants was made through site-directed mutagenesis where the negative charge is located in the secondary sphere or outer coordination sphere, with additional variants made with increasingly negative charge in the outer coordination sphere while keeping a positive charge in the secondary sphere. Placing a negative charge in the secondary or outer coordination sphere demonstrates decreased activity by a factor of two compared to the wild-type Rh-LmrR. Interestingly, addition of positive charge in the secondary sphere, with the negatively charged outer coordination sphere restores activity. Vibrational and NMR spectroscopy suggest minimal changes to the electronic density at the rhodium center, regardless of inclusion of a negative or positive charge in the secondary sphere, suggesting another mechanism is impacting catalytic activity, explored in the discussion.

Abstract
Neutral triple-decker iron and cobalt complexes with a bridging 1,2-diboratabenzene ligand were accessed by reactions of a dilithium 1,2-diboratabenzene reagent with [Cp*FeCl]2 and [Cp*CoCl]2, respectively. While 1,2-diboratabenzene metal complexes are known, these represent the first examples of the ligand bridging two metals.

Abstract
The reaction of Ph3PAuN3 with 9-Ph-9-borafluorene resulted in complexation of the azide to boron while a gold acetylide reacted with 9-Ph-9-borafluorene to insert the acetylide carbon to access a six-membered boracycle with an exocyclic double bond.

Abstract
The first example of a homoleptic f-block borolide sandwich complex is presented and shown to be a high-performance single-molecule magnet (SMM). The bis(borolide) complex [K(2.2.2)][[1-(piperidino)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylborolyl]2Dy] (1) features an unusual example of an anionic Ln3+ metallocene that supports short metal-ligand bonds and a high degree of linearity around the central Dy3+ ion, resulting in comparatively large barriers to magnetization reversal (Ueff = 1600 cm-1 for the most linear orientation) and, importantly, a high blocking temperature (TB, defined as T(τ100s)) of 66 K. These metrics put complex 1 among the very best performing SMMs reported to date and highlight the potential of dianionic borolide ligands to increase ligand field axiality, compared to monoanionic cyclic ligands, to ultimately maximize magnetic anisotropy in f-block-based SMMs.
