Abstract
![]()
Herein we disclose the synthesis of sterically encumbered
dialkylnickel(II)
complexes bearing 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligands. A comparison
with their unsubstituted analogues by both X-ray crystallography and
theoretical calculations revealed significant distortions in their
molecular structures. Eyring plots along with stoichiometric and photoexcitation
studies revealed that sterically encumbered dialkylnickel(II) complexes
enable facile C(sp3)–C(sp3) reductive elimination, thus offering an
improved understanding of Ni catalysis.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure and electronic properties of tetraruthenium dichalcogenide complexes displaying the exclusive coordination mode of dichalcogenide ligands have been discussed. The reactions of Li[BH2E3] (E = S or Se) with [ClRu(μ-Cl)(p-cymene)]2 (p-cymene = η6-{p-C6H4(iPr)Me}) at room temperature yielded tetrametallic dichalcogenide complexes [{Ru2Cl2(p-cymene)2}2(μ4,η2-E2)], 1-2 (E = S (1) and Se (2)). The solid-state X-ray structure of 1 shows that two {(p-cymene)RuCl}2 moieties are bridged by a S-S bond. In addition to 2, the reaction of Li[BH2Se3] with [ClRu(μ-Cl)(p-cymene)]2 also yielded a mononuclear tris-homocubane analogue [Ru(p-cymene){Se7(BH)3}] (3) which is an analogue of 1,3,3-tris-homocubane and possesses D3 symmetry. In order to isolate the Cp* analogue of 1, the reaction of [Cp*Ru(μ-Cl)Cl]2 with Li[BH2S3] was carried out, which led to the formation of bis/tris-homocubane derivatives [(Cp*Ru)2{μ-Sn(BH)2}] (n = 7 (4) and 6 (5)) along with the formation of ruthenium disulfide complexes [(RuCp*)2(μ,η2:η2-S2)(μ,η1:η1-S2)] and [(RuCp*)2(μ-SBHS-κ1B:κ2S:κ2S)(μ,η1:η1-S2)]. Complexes 1-5 have been characterized by multi-nuclear NMR, IR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry and their molecular formulations (except 2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, DFT calculations were performed that rationalize the stabilization of the dichalcogenide units (E22-) by the tetrametallic systems in 1-2.

Abstract
With the purpose of obtaining a new dendritic system against cancer, this paper is focused on the synthesis of spherical carbosilane metallodendrimers of different generations holding Ru(II) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) on the periphery from the imidazolium precursors. Both imidazolium salt dendrimers and their metallodendrimers counterparts showed promising anticancer activity, similar to cisplatin, mainly at high generations. In addition, both families of second and third generations were able to form dendriplexes with anticancer small interfering RNA (siRNA), protecting the cargo against RNAse and being able to internalize it in HEPG2 (human liver cancer) tumour cells. The characterization and effectiveness of the dendriplexes were evaluated by various analytical techniques such as zeta potential, electrophoresis and circular dichroism, the stability of the system and the protective nature of the dendrimer estimated using RNAse and the internalization of dendriplexes by confocal microscopy. The major advantage observed with the ruthenium metallodendrimers with respect to the imidazolium salts precursors was in cellular uptake, where the internalization of Mcl-1-FITC siRNA (myeloid cell leukaemia-1 fluorescein labelled siRNA) proceeded more efficiently. Therefore, we propose here that both imidazolium and Ru metallodendrimers are interesting candidates in cancer due to their double action, as anticancer per se and as carrier for anticancer siRNA, providing in this way a combined action.

Abstract
The newly discovered light-driven gem hydrogenation of alkynes opens an unconventional yet efficient entry into five-coordinate Grubbs-type ruthenium carbene complexes with cis-disposed chloride ligands. Representatives of this class featuring a chelate substructure formed by an iodo-substituted benzylidene unit react with (substituted) 2-isopropoxystyrene to give prototypical "second-generation" Grubbs-Hoveyda complexes for olefin metathesis. The new approach to this venerable catalyst family is safe and versatile as it uses a triple bond rather than phenyldiazomethane as the ultimate carbene source and does not require any sacrificial phosphines.

Abstract
[(NHC)(cymene)RuCl2 ] (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) complexes instigate a light-driven gem-hydrogenation of internal alkynes with concomitant formation of discrete Grubbs-type ruthenium carbene species. This unorthodox reactivity mode is harnessed in the form of a "hydrogenative metathesis" reaction, which converts an enyne substrate into a cyclic alkene. The intervention of ruthenium carbenes formed in the actual gem-hydrogenation step was proven by the isolation and crystallographic characterization of a rather unusual representative of this series carrying an unconfined alkyl group on a disubstituted carbene center.

Abstract
Critical to advancing the uptake of olefin metathesis in leading contexts, including pharmaceutical manufacturing, is identification of highly active catalysts that resist decomposition. Amines constitute an aggressive challenge to ruthenium metathesis catalysts. Examined here is the impact of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), morpholine, n-butylamine, and triethylamine on Ru metathesis catalysts that represent the current state of the art, including cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. Accordingly, the amine-tolerance of the nitro-Grela catalyst RuCl2(H2IMes)(=CHAr) (nG; Ar = C6H4-2-O i Pr-5-NO2) is compared with that of its CAAC analogues nGC1 and nGC2, and the Hoveyda-class catalyst RuCl2(C2)(=CHAr') HC2 (Ar' = C6H4-2-O i Pr). In C1, the carbene carbon is flanked by an N-2,6-Et2C6H3 group and a CMePh quaternary carbon; in C2, by an N-2- i Pr-6-MeC6H3 group and a CMe2 quaternary carbon. The impact of 1 equiv amine per Ru on turnover numbers (TONs) in ring-closing metathesis of diethyl diallylmalonate was assessed at 9 ppm Ru, at RT and 70 °C. The deleterious impact of amines followed the trend NEt3 ∼ NH2 n Bu ≪ DBU ∼ morpholine. Morpholine is shown to decompose nGC1 by nucleophilic abstraction of the methylidene ligand; DBU, by proton abstraction from the metallacyclobutane. Decomposition was minimized at 70 °C, at which nGC1 enabled TONs of ca. 60 000 even in the presence of morpholine or DBU, vs ca. 80 000 in the absence of base. Unexpectedly, H2IMes catalyst nG delivered 70-90% of the performance of nGC1 at high temperatures, and underwent decomposition by Brønsted base at a similar rate. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis shows that this similarity is due to comparable net electron donation by the H2IMes and C1 ligands. Catalysts bearing the smaller C2 ligand were comparatively insensitive to amines, owing to rapid, preferential bimolecular decomposition.

Abstract
Half-sandwich arene-metal complexes are commonly used for specific applications. Herein, we report facile arene ligand exchange reactions of two ruthenium(II) complexes of tertiary P-stereogenic ferrocenyl phosphines. By mild photochemical activation, the displacement of p-cymene and subsequent tethering by η6-coordination of the terminal phenyl ring of a biphenylyl-substituted ferrocenyl phosphine were enabled. Furthermore, the spontaneous p-cymene displacement in a 2-methoxyphenyl-containing ferrocenyl phosphine and ensuing coordination of the ligand as a P,O chelate were examined. For both reactions, theoretical calculations of the general course of the reaction confirmed the experimental findings. The ease of the controlled arene displacement reported here can offer new pathways for the synthesis and design of novel tailor-made catalysts.

Abstract
The title complex, [RuCl(C10H14)(C10H8N2)](C24H20B), has monoclinic (P21) symmetry at 100 K. It was prepared by the reaction of the dichlorido[1-methyl-4-(propan-2-yl)benzene]ruthenium(II) dimer with 2,2′-bipyridine, followed by the addition of ammonium tetraphenylborate. The 1-methyl-4-(propan-2-yl)benzene group, the 2,2′-bipyridine unit and a chloride ion coordinate the ruthenium(II) atom, with the 1-methyl-4-(propan-2-yl)benzene ring and bipyridine moieties trans to each other. In the crystal, the complex cations are linked by C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to [010]. These chains are linked by a number of C—H...π interactions, involving the phenyl rings of the tetraphenylborate anion and a pyridine ring of the bpy ligand, resulting in the formation of layers parallel to (10\overline{1}).

Abstract
Access to leading olefin metathesis catalysts, including the Grubbs, Hoveyda, and Grela catalysts, ultimately rests on the nonscaleable transfer of a benzylidene ligand from an unstable, impure aryldiazomethane. The indenylidene ligand can be reliably installed, but to date yields much less reactive catalysts. A fast-initiating, dimeric indenylidene complex (Ru-1) is reported, which reconciles high activity with scaleable synthesis. Each Ru center in Ru-1 is stabilized by a state-of-the-art cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC, C1) and a bridging chloride donor: the lability of the latter elevates the reactivity of Ru-1 to a level previously attainable only with benzylidene derivatives. Evaluation of initiation rate constants reveals that Ru-1 initiates >250× faster than indenylidene catalyst M2 (RuCl2(H2IMes)(PCy3)(Ind)), and 65× faster than UC (RuCl2(C1)2(Ind)). The slow initiation previously regarded as characteristic of indenylidene catalysts is hence due to low ligand lability, not inherently slow cycloaddition at the Ru=CRR' site. In macrocyclization and "ethenolysis" of methyl oleate (i.e., transformation into α-olefins via cross-metathesis with C2H4), Ru-1 is comparable or superior to the corresponding, breakthrough CAAC-benzylidene catalyst. In ethenolysis, Ru-1 is 5× more robust to standard-grade (99.9%) C2H4 than the top-performing catalyst, probably reflecting steric protection at the quaternary CAAC carbon.

Abstract
Although metathesis photoinduced catalysis is now well established, there is little development in thin film preparation using photochemically activated ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). Herein, a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) photogenerator (1,3-bis(mesityl)imidazolium tetraphenylborate) is combined with an inactive metathesis catalyst ([RuCl2(p-cymene)]2) to generate under UV irradiation an active catalyst (p-cymene)RuCl2 (NHC), that is capable of producing in a single step cross-linked copolymer films by ROMP of norbornene with dicyclopentadiene. The study shows that the photoinitiated catalytic system can be optimized by increasing the yield of photogenerated NHC through a sensitizer (2-isopropylthioxanthone), and by choosing [RuI2(p-cymene)]2 as precatalyst to provide a long-term photolatency. The cross-linked polymer structure is investigated by a range of techniques including gel content measurement, FT-IR and solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy, TGA and DSC, which reveal a cross-linking mechanism proceeding through both metathesis and olefin coupling. Photoactivated ROMP is harnessed for the single-step formation of cross-linked polymer coatings based on norbornene and dicyclopentadiene.![]()
