Abstract
A new class of Ru-sulfonamidate precatalysts for sp3 C-H hydroxylation is described along with a versatile process for assembling unique heteroleptic Ru(II) complexes. The latter has enabled structure-performance studies to identify an optimal precatalyst, 2h, bearing one 4,4'-di-tert-butylbipyridine (dtbpy) and one pyridylsulfonamidate ligand. Single-crystal X-ray analysis confirmed the structure and stereochemistry of this adduct. Catalytic hydroxylation reactions are conveniently performed in an aqueous, biphasic solvent mixture with 1 mol % 2h and ceric ammonium nitrate as the terminal oxidant and deliver oxidized products in yields ranging from 37 to 90%. A comparative mechanistic investigation of 2h against a related homoleptic precatalyst, [Ru(dtbpy)2(MeCN)2](OTf)2, convincingly establishes that the former generates one or more surprisingly long-lived active species under the reaction conditions, thus accounting for the high turnover numbers. Structure-performance, kinetics, mass spectrometric, and electrochemical analyses reveal that ligand oxidation is a prerequisite for catalyst activation. Our findings sharply contrast a large body of prior art showing that ligand oxidation is detrimental to catalyst function. We expect these results to stimulate future innovations in C-H oxidation research.

Abstract
Enantiopure P-stereogenic methylphosphane-boranes (SP)-P(BH3)PhArMe (ArMe; Ar = 1-naphthyl (NpMe), and 2-biphenylyl (BiphMe)) have been used to prepare diphosphanes of the type ArPhPCH2PR2 (R = Ph, iPr or tBu; ArR). The ligands have been reacted with [Rh(COD)2]BF4 to furnish the corresponding six monochelated [Rh(COD)(ArR)]BF4 organometallic compounds (RhArR) or, depending on the reaction conditions, the bis(chelated) coordination compound [Rh(BiphiPr)2]BF4 as a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The crystal structure of cis-[Rh(BiphiPr)2]BF4 was obtained. The coordination of the BiphR with [RuCl(μ-Cl)(η6-p-cymene)2]2 under different conditions produced cationic chelated complexes of the type [RuCl(η6-p-cymene)(κ2-BiphR)]PF6 (RuBiphR) and the neutral monocoordinated complex [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(κ1-BiphPh)] (RuBiphPh') with the uncoordinated P-stereogenic moiety. The Rh(I) complexes were used in the catalytic hydrogenation of functionalized olefins and the Ru(II) complexes were tested in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. Both precursors displayed good activities with moderate enantioselectivities.

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
Ruthenium (Ru) and osmium (Os) complexes are of sustained interest in cancer research and may be alternative to platinum-based therapy. We detail here three new series of ruthenium and osmium complexes, supported by physico-chemical characterizations, including time-dependent density functional theory, a combined experimental and computational study on the aquation reactions and the nature of the metal-arene bond. Cytotoxic profiles were then evaluated on several cancer cell lines although with limited success. Further investigations were, however, performed on the most active series using a genetic approach based on RNA interference and highlighted a potential multi-target mechanism of action through topoisomerase II, mitotic spindle, HDAC and DNMT inhibition.

Abstract
The modular syntheses of C3-symmetric tris(ferrocenyl)arene-based tris-phosphanes and their homotrinuclear gold(i) complexes are reported. Choosing the arene core allows fine-tuning of the exact oxidation potentials and thus tailoring of the electrochemical response. The tris[chloridogold(i)] complexes were investigated in the catalytic ring-closing isomerisation of N-(2-propyn-1-yl)benzamide, showing cooperative behaviour vs. a mononuclear chloridogold(i) complex. Adding one, two, or three equivalents of 1,1′-diacetylferrocenium[tetrakis(perfluoro-tert-butoxy)aluminate] as an oxidant during the catalytic reaction (in situ) resulted in a distinct, stepwise influence on the resulting catalytic rates. Isolation of the oxidised species is possible, and using them as (pre-)catalysts (ex situ oxidation) confirmed the activity trend. Proving the intactness of the P–Au–Cl motif during oxidation, the tri-oxidised benzene-based complex has been structurally characterised. Trinuclear gold(i) complexes of C3-symmetric tris(ferrocenyl)arene-based tris-phosphanes with four accessible oxidation states catalyse the ring-closing isomerisation of N-(2-propyn-1-yl)benzamide with different rates depending on their redox state.![]()

Abstract
Tertiary phosphines are generally known to withstand inversion under moderate conditions. In this work, a remarkable racemization process of three P-chiral ferrocenyl phosphines is reported. Subjected to conventional column chromatography as highly enantioenriched compounds, they greatly experienced racemization when collected at the column outlet within minutes. Initially, attention was drawn to this unusual inversion behavior after observing that the superb enantiomeric excess of these ligands (>95 % ee in all cases) was almost lost in their corresponding ruthenium(II) complexes. Successively excluding possible racemization causes, these P-chiral ferrocenyl phosphines were found to undergo a significant, acid-catalyzed racemization process at room temperature within a few minutes. This process is mainly observed during standard column chromatography by using conventional silica or alumina, but can also be triggered deliberately by addition of certain acids. Therefore, the stereochemical preservation of P-chiral phosphines during their purification may per se not always be guaranteed, since column chromatography is the most frequently used technique for purifying such types of compounds.
