Abstract
The tripyrrin-1,14-dione biopyrrin, which shares the scaffold of several naturally occurring heme metabolites, is a redox-active platform for metal coordination. We report the synthesis of square planar platinum(II) tripyrrindiones, in which the biopyrrin binds as a tridentate radical and the fourth coordination position is occupied by either aqua or tert-butyl isocyanide ligands. These complexes are stable through chromatographic purification and exposure to air. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data and density functional theory (DFT) analysis confirm that the spin density is located predominantly on the tripyrrindione ligand. Pancake bonding in solution between the Pt(II) tripyrrindione radicals leads to the formation of diamagnetic π dimers at low temperatures. The identity of the monodentate ligand (i.e., aqua vs. isocyanide) affects both the thermodynamic parameters of dimerization and the tripyrrindione-based redox processes in these complexes. Isolation and structural characterization of the oxidized complexes revealed stacking of the diamagnetic tripyrrindiones in the solid state as well as a metallophilic Pt(II)-Pt(II) contact in the case of the aqua complex. Overall, the properties of Pt(II) tripyrrindiones, including redox potentials and intermolecular interactions in solution and in the solid state, are modulated through easily accessible changes in the redox state of the biopyrrin ligand or the nature of the monodentate ligand.

Abstract
A series of boron, aluminum, gallium, and indium chelates containing the underexplored bis(phenolate) aza-dipyrromethene (aza-DIPY) core were prepared. These compounds were found to possess near-infrared absorption and emission profiles in the 710 to 770 nm domain and exhibit quantum yield values up to 14%. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that heavier group 13 bis(phenolate) aza-DIPY chelates possessed octahedral geometries with either THF or pyridine groups occupying the axial positions as opposed to the tetrahedral geometry of the boron chelate.

Abstract
A series of "N2O2-type" manganese dipyrrin-bisphenols (DPP), formulated as (Ar)DPPMn, where Ar = pentafluorophenyl (F5Ph), phenyl (Ph), or mesityl (Mes), were electrochemically and spectroscopically characterized in nonaqueous media with and without added anions in the form of tetrabutylammonium salts (TBAX where X = ClO4-, PF6-, BF4-, F-, Cl-, OH-, or CN-). Two major one-electron reductions are observed under most solution conditions, the first of which is assigned as a MnIII/II process and the second as electron addition to the π-ring system as confirmed by spectroelectrochemistry. Each MnIII complex also exhibits one or two one-electron oxidations, the exact number depending upon the positive potential limit of the electrochemical solvent. The two oxidations are separated by 580-590 mV in CH3CN containing 0.1 M TBAPF6 and are assigned as π-ring-centered electron transfers to stepwise form a (Ar)DPPMnIII π-cation radical and dication under these solution conditions. Comparisons are made between redox properties of (Ar)DPPMn and manganese(III) porphyrins, corroles, and corrolazines each of which contains an innocent trianionic complexing ligand. The redox behavior and spectroscopic properties of [(Ar)DPPMn]n where n = 0, -1, or +1 are also compared to that of other structurally related [(Ar)DPPM]n complexes under similar solution conditions where M = CoII, CuII, BIII, or AuIII.

Abstract
The dipyrrin–metal complexes and especially the boron complex 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) have recently attracted considerable attention because of their interesting properties and possible applications. We have developed two unique and useful ways to extend versatility and usefulness of the dipyrrin complexes. The first one is the linear and macrocyclic oligomerization of the BODIPY units. These arrangements of the B–F moieties of the oligomerized BODIPY units provide sophisticated functions, such as unique recognition ability toward cationic guest, associated with changes in the photophysical properties by utilizing unprecedented interactions between the B–F and a cationic species. The second one is introduction of additional ligating moieties into the dipyrrin skeleton. The multidentate N2Ox dipyrrin ligands thus obtained form a variety of complexes with 13 and 14 group elements, which are difficult to synthesize using the original N2 dipyrrin derivatives. Interestingly, these unique complexes exhibit novel structures, properties, and functions such as guest recognition, stimuli-responsive structural conversion, switching of the optical properties, excellent stability of the neutral radicals, etc. We believe that these multifunctional dipyrrin complexes will advance the basic chemistry of the dipyrrin complexes and develop their applications in the materials and medicinal chemistry fields.1 Introduction2 Linear Oligomers of Boron–Dipyrrin Complexes3 Cyclic Oligomers of Boron–Dipyrrin Complexes4 A Cyclic Oligomer of Zinc–Dipyrrin Complexes5 Group 13 Element Complexes of N2Ox Dipyrrins6 Chiral N2 and N2Ox Dipyrrin Complexes7 Group 14 Element Complexes of N2O2 Dipyrrins8 Other N2O2 Dipyrrin Complexes with Unique Properties and Functions9 Conclusion

Abstract
The influence of a redox-active ligand on spin-changing events induced by the coordination of exogenous donors is investigated within the cobalt complex [CoII(DPP·2-)], bearing a redox-active DPP2- ligand (DPP = dipyrrin-bis(o,p-di-tert-butylphenolato) with a pentafluorophenyl moiety on the meso-position. This square-planar complex was subjected to the coordination of tetrahydrofuran (THF), pyridine, tBuNH2, and AdNH2 (Ad = 1-adamantyl), and the resulting complexes were analyzed with a variety of experimental (X-ray diffraction, NMR, UV-visible, high-resolution mass spectrometry, superconducting quantum interference device, Evans' method) and computational (density functional theory, NEVPT2-CASSCF) techniques to elucidate the respective structures, spin states, and orbital compositions of the corresponding octahedral bis-donor adducts, relative to [CoII(DPP·2-)]. This starting species is best described as an open-shell singlet complex containing a DPP·2- ligand radical that is antiferromagnetically coupled to a low-spin (S = 1/2) cobalt(II) center. The redox-active DPPn- ligand plays a crucial role in stabilizing this complex and in its facile conversion to the triplet THF adduct [CoII(DPP·2-)(THF)2] and closed-shell singlet pyridine and amine adducts [CoIII(DPP3-)(L)2] (L = py, tBuNH2, or AdNH2). Coordination of the weak donor THF to [CoII(DPP·2-)] changes the orbital overlap between the DPP·2- ligand radical π-orbitals and the cobalt(II) metalloradical d-orbitals, which results in a spin-flip to the triplet ground state without changing the oxidation states of the metal or DPP·2- ligand. In contrast, coordination of the stronger donors pyridine, tBuNH2, or AdNH2 induces metal-to-ligand single-electron transfer, resulting in the formation of low-spin (S = 0) cobalt(III) complexes [CoIII(DPP3-)(L)2] containing a fully reduced DPP3- ligand, thus explaining their closed-shell singlet electronic ground states.

Abstract
Sometimes named half-porphyrins, bis-pyrrolic dipyrrin ligands endow their metal complexes with unique properties such as the potential to functionalize the heterocyclic backbone or the meso position and the ability to catalyze interesting chemical transformations. Thus, strategies towards the derivatization of or at the meso group and the use of dipyrrin metal complexes for the formation of a broad range of polypyrrolic derivatives such as 2,2'-bis-dipyrrins, nor-/hetero-corroles and porphynoids have been elaborated. Furthermore, the chelating ability of dipyrrins and the possibility of modifying their steric and electronic characteristics by functionalization can be exploited for the development of numerous complexes featuring appealing properties. Hence, C-H activation/amination, polymerization or oxidation reactions can be catalyzed by dipyrrin metal complexes and classical reagents such as Grignard species, Rh-based or Suzuki-Miyaura catalysts have been revisited by incorporation of dipyrrins in the coordination sphere of the metal cations. This contribution aims to review and illustrate all these aspects, highlighting the potential of these complexes for the design and synthesis of valuable organic compounds and metallo-organic architectures.

Abstract
Given that noninnocent and metalloradical-type electronic structures are ubiquitous among dipyrrin-bisphenolate (DPP) complexes, we synthesized the gold(iii) derivatives as potentially innocent paradigms against which the properties of other metallo-DPP derivatives can be evaluated. Electronic absorption spectra, electrochemical studies, a single-crystal X-ray structure, and DFT calculations all suggest that the ground states of the new complexes indeed correspond to an innocent AuIII–DPP3−, paralleling a similar description noted for Au corroles. Interestingly, while DFT calculations indicate purely ligand-centered oxidations, reduction of AuDPP is predicted to occur across both the metal and the ligand. The first gold dipyrrin-bisphenolates have been synthesized. Like their corrole analogues, they exhibit AuIII–L3− ground states, providing rare innocent paradigms for a class of complexes that commonly occur as metalloradicals.![]()

Abstract
Three cobalt dipyrrin-bisphenol (DPPCo) complexes with different meso-aryl groups (pentafluorophenyl, phenyl, and mesityl) were synthesized and characterized based on their electrochemistry and spectroscopic properties in nonaqueous media. Each DPPCo undergoes multiple oxidations and reductions with the potentials, reversibility, and number of processes depending on the specific solution conditions, the specific macrocyclic substituents, and the type and number of axially coordinated ligands on the central cobalt ion. Theoretical calculations of the compounds with different coordination numbers are given in the current study in order to elucidate the cobalt-ion oxidation state and the innocence or noninnocence of the macrocyclic ligand as a function of the changes in the solvent properties and degree of axial coordination. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the compounds are obtained to experimentally assess the electron spin state. An X-ray structure of the six-coordinate complex is also presented. The investigated chemical properties of DPPCo compounds under different solution conditions are compared to those of cobalt corroles, where the macrocycle and metal ion also possess formal 3- and 3+ oxidation states in their air-stable forms.

Abstract
Furan and thiophene diarylmethenes are potential redox-active ligands for metal centers that could be exploited in the development of nontraditional, stoichiometric, and catalytic redox reactions. As such, we describe here the selective meso-deprotonations of dithiophene, difuran, and diimine-difuran diarylmethanes to form the π-conjugated anions, for which only the diimino-difuryl anion is truly isolable and studied by X-ray crystallography. In all cases, facile one-electron oxidation of these anions occurs, which allows the isolation of the neutral dithienyl and diimino-difuryl radicals. UV-Visible and time-dependent density functional theory studies reveal that the oxidation of the dithienyl anion to its radical is associated with an increase in the highest (singly) occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital gap, evident through a hypsochromic shift of the main absorption band in the electronic spectrum, whereas oxidation of the diimino-difuryl anion causes only minor spectroscopic changes. Electrochemical studies support the stability of the radicals with respect to the anion, showing strongly negative oxidation potentials. The control of the redox activity of these diarylmethene carbanions through variation of the nature of the substituents, donor-atom, and the conjugated π-system and their potential as ligands for redox-inert metal centers makes them intriguing candidates as noninnocent partners for redox reactions.

Abstract
The sterically hindered bis(2-aminophenyl)dipyrrin ligand H3NL was prepared. X-ray diffraction discloses a bifurcated hydrogen bonding network involving the dipyrrin and one aniline ring. The reaction of H3NL with one equivalent of nickel(II) in the air produces a paramagnetic neutral complex, which absorbs intensively in the Vis-NIR region. Its electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum displays resonances at g1 = 2.033, g2 = 2.008, and g3 = 1.962 that are reminiscent of an (S = 1/2) system having a predominant organic radical character. Both the structural investigation (X-ray diffraction) and density functional theory calculations on [NiII(NL•)] points to an unprecedented mixed "pyrrolyl-anilinyl" radical character. The neutral complex [NiII(NL•)] exhibits both a reversible oxidation wave at -0.28 V vs Fc+/Fc and a reversible reduction wave at -0.91 V. The anion was found to be highly air-sensitive, but could be prepared by reduction with cobaltocene and structurally characterized. It comprises a Ni(II) ion coordinated to a closed-shell trianionic ligand and hence can be formulated as [NiII(NL)]-. The cation was generated by reacting [NiII(NL•)] with one equivalent of silver hexafluoroantimonate. By X-ray diffraction we established that it contains an oxidized, closed-shell ligand coordinated to a nickel(II) ion. We found that a reliable hallmark for both the oxidation state of the ligand and the extent of delocalization within the series is the bond connecting the dipyrrin and the aniline, which ranges between 1.391 Å (cation) and 1.449 Å (anion). The cation and anion exhibit a rich Vis-NIR spectrum, despite their nonradical nature. The low energy bands correspond to ligand-based electronic excitations. Hence, the HOMO-LUMO gap is small, and the redox processes in the electron transfer series are exclusively ligand-centered.

Inner-sphere vs. outer-sphere reduction of uranyl supported by a redox-active, donor-expanded dipyrrin. Chem Sci 2016; 8:108-116.

Abstract
The uranyl(vi) complex UO2Cl(L) of the redox-active, acyclic diimino-dipyrrin anion, L- is reported and its reaction with inner- and outer-sphere reductants studied. Voltammetric, EPR-spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic studies show that chemical reduction by the outer-sphere reagent CoCp2 initially reduces the ligand to a dipyrrin radical, and imply that a second equivalent of CoCp2 reduces the U(vi) centre to form U(v). Cyclic voltammetry indicates that further outer-sphere reduction to form the putative U(iv) trianion only occurs at strongly cathodic potentials. The initial reduction of the dipyrrin ligand is supported by emission spectra, X-ray crystallography, and DFT; the latter also shows that these outer-sphere reactions are exergonic and proceed through sequential, one-electron steps. Reduction by the inner-sphere reductant [TiCp2Cl]2 is also likely to result in ligand reduction in the first instance but, in contrast to the outer-sphere case, reduction of the uranium centre becomes much more favoured, allowing the formation of a crystallographically characterised, doubly-titanated U(iv) complex. In the case of inner-sphere reduction only, ligand-to-metal electron-transfer is thermodynamically driven by coordination of Lewis-acidic Ti(iv) to the uranyl oxo, and is energetically preferable over the disproportionation of U(v). Overall, the involvement of the redox-active dipyrrin ligand in the reduction chemistry of UO2Cl(L) is inherent to both inner- and outer-sphere reduction mechanisms, providing a new route to accessing a variety of U(vi), U(v), and U(iv) complexes.
