Abstract
With the objective of gaining insight into the modulation of the reduction potential of the Ni(II/I) couple, we have synthesized two mononuclear nickel(II) complexes, NiLen (H2Len = N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane) and NiLpn (H2Lpn = N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diamino-2,2-dimethylpropane) of two N2O4 donor ligands and recorded their cyclic voltammograms. Both the nickel complexes show reversible reduction processes for the Ni(II/I) couple in acetonitrile solution but the reduction potential of NiLpn (E1/2 = -1.883 V) is 188 mV more positive than that of NiLen (E1/2 = -2.071 V). In the presence of redox inactive metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+), the reduction potentials are shifted by 49-331 mV and 99-435 mV towards positive values compared to NiLen and NiLpn, respectively. The shift increases with the decrease of the pKa of the respective aqua-complexes of the metal ion but is poorly co-linear; however, better linearity is found when the shift of the mono- and bi-positive metal ion aqua complexes is plotted separately. Spectrophotometric titrations of these two nickel complexes with the guest metal ions in acetonitrile showed a well-anchored isosbestic point in all cases, confirming the adduct formation of NiLen and NiLpn with the metal ions. Structural analysis of single crystals, [(NiLen)Li(H2O)2]·ClO4 (1), [(NiLpn)Li(H2O)]·ClO4 (2), [(NiLpn)2Na]·BF4 (3) and [(NiLpn)2Ba(H2O)(ClO4)]·ClO4 (4), also corroborates the heterometallic adduct formation. The orbital energies of the optimised heterometallic adducts from which electron transfers originated were calculated in order to explain the observed reduction process. A strong linear connection between the calculated orbital energies and the experimental E1/2 values was observed. According to MEP and 2D vector field plots, the largest shift for divalent metal ions is most likely caused by the local electric field that they impose in addition to Lewis acidity.

Abstract
The reactivity of biological or synthetic metalloenzymes is modulated in the presence of redox innocent Lewis acidic metal ions as they change the redox potential of the redox active metal ions present in the active site of metalloenzymes. To study this effect, we synthesised a mono-nuclear V(IV) complex (VOL, 1) with an N2O4 donor bicompartmental ligand, characterized it by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and recorded its cyclic voltammogram in acetonitrile. The CV revealed a reversible redox process for the V(IV)/V(V) couple. The potential of the V(IV)/V(V) couple shifted to a more positive value when equivalent amounts of Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+ ions were added separately to its acetonitrile solution, but the extent of shift for Li+ and Mg2+ was much less than that of the other metal ions. The guest metal ions except Li+ and Mg2+ were accommodated in the outer compartment of VOL as confirmed by IR and UV-Vis spectral analysis. Single-crystal structural analysis of [(VOL)KPF6]2, (1·K) and [(VOL)Ba(ClO4)2(H2O)]n, (1·Ba) also confirmed the hetero-metallic adduct formation. The correlation of the shift of the V(IV/V) redox potential with the Lewis acidity of respective metal ions deviated appreciably from linearity. DFT calculations suggest that the shift in potential is probably controlled by local electric fields induced by those ions, as indicated by 2D vector electric field maps.

Abstract
Magnesia-based refractory is widely used in high-temperature industries; its easy hydration is, however, a key concern in refractory processing. Understanding the hydration mechanism of MgO will help in solving its hydration problem. Herein, the hydration behavior of (MgO)n (n = 1–6) at the molecular level and the effect mechanisms of several anti-hydration agents on the hydration of (MgO)4 were investigated with first-principles calculations. The results indicated that the following: (1) The smaller the (MgO)n cluster size, the more favorable the hydration of MgO and the tendency to convert into Mg(OH)2 crystal; (2) Anti-hydration agents can coordinate with the unsaturated Mg atom of (MgO)4 to form a bond, increasing the coordination number of Mg, thus reducing its activity when reacting with H2O; (3) The greater the number of −COOH groups and the longer the chain length in the anti-hydration agents, the better its effect of inhibiting the hydration of MgO. These findings could enhance the understanding of the mechanism of hydration of MgO and provide theoretical guidance for the design of novel anti-hydration agents.

Abstract
A mononuclear uranyl complex, [UO2L] (1), has been synthesized with the ligand N,N'-bis(3-methoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane (H2L). The complex showed a reversible U(VI)/U(V) redox couple in cyclic voltammetric measurements. The reduction potential of this couple showed a positive shift upon the addition of redox-inactive alkali- and alkaline-earth Lewis acidic metal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+) to an acetonitrile solution of complex 1. The positive shift of the reduction potential has been explained on the basis of the Lewis acidity and internal electric-field effect of the respective metal ions. The bimetallic complexes [UO2LLi(NO3)] (2), [UO2LNa(BF4)]2 (3), [UO2LK(PF6)]2 (4), [(UO2L)2Ca]·(ClO4)2·CH3CN (5), [(UO2L)2Sr(H2O)2]·(ClO4)2·CH3CN (6), and [(UO2L)2Ba(ClO4)]·(ClO4) (7) have also been isolated in the solid state by reacting complex 1 with the corresponding metal ions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations of the optimized [UO2LM]n+ complexes have been used to rationalize the experimental reduction and electric-field potentials imposed by the non-redox-active cations.

Abstract
A mononuclear manganese(V) oxo complex of a bis(amidate)bis(alkoxide) ligand, (NMe4)[MnV(HMPAB)(O)] [2; H4HMPAB = 1,2-bis(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamido)benzene], was synthesized and structurally characterized. A Mn-Oterm distance of 1.566(4) Å was observed in the solid-state structure of 2, consistent with the Mn≡O formulation. The reaction of redox-inactive metal ions (Mn+ = Li+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Y3+, and Sc3+) with 2 resulted in the formation of 2-Mn+ species, which were characterized by UV-vis, 1H NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and in situ IR spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations suggested that the alkoxide oxygen atoms of the ligand scaffold are energetically most favorable for coordinating the Mn+ ions in 2. Complex 2 revealed one-electron-reduction potential at -0.01 V versus ferrocenium/ferrocene, which shifted anodically upon coordination of Mn+ ions to 2, and such a shift became more prominent with stronger Lewis acids. The oxygen-atom transfer (OAT) reactivities of 2 and 2-Mn+ species with triphenylphosphine were compared, which exhibited a systematic increase of the reaction rate with increasing Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions, and a plot of log k2 versus Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions (ΔE) followed a linear relationship. It was observed that 2-Sc3+ was ca. 3200 times more reactive toward the OAT reaction compared to 2. Hammett analysis of 2 exhibited a V-shaped plot, indicating a change of the reaction mechanism upon going from electron-rich to electron-deficient Ar3P substrates. In contrast, 2-Ca2+ and 2-Sc3+ showed an electrophilic nature toward the OAT reaction, thus demonstrating the role of the Lewis acid in controlling the OAT mechanism. The hydrogen-atom abstraction reaction of 2 and 2-Mn+ adducts with 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide was investigated, and it was observed that the rate of reaction did not vary considerably with the Lewis acidity of Mn+ ions. On the basis of Eyring analysis of 2 and 2-Mn+ adducts, we hypothesized an entropy-controlled hydrogen-atom-transfer reaction for 2-Sc3+, which is different from the reaction mechanism of 2 and 2-Ca2+.

Abstract
A new Ni(ii) complex [NiL] (complex 1) of an asymmetrically di-condensed N2O3 donor Schiff base ligand, N-salicylidene-N'-3-methoxysalicylidene-1,3-propanediamine (H2L), has been synthesized and utilized for the synthesis of three heterometallic complexes, [(NiL)2Mn(NCS)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (2) [(NiL)2Mn(N(CN)2)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (3) and [(NiL)2Mn2(N3)2(μ1,1-N3)2(CH3OH)2] (4). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses show that complexes 2 and 3 have linear trinuclear structures where two tridentate O3 donor (NiL) units are coordinated to the central octahedral Mn(ii) centre, whereas complex 4 has a centrosymmetric tetranuclear structure where two binuclear (NiL)Mn units are linked via two phenoxido and two μ1,1-N3 bridges. Among the heterometallic complexes (2-4), only 4 is active towards the catalytic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol to the corresponding quinone. The turnover number for the aerobic oxidation of 3,5-DTBC is 935 h-1. ESI-mass spectra have been recorded to scrutinize the mechanistic pathway of this catalytic reaction. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest that complexes 2-4 are antiferromagnetically coupled with coupling constants (J) of -4.84 and -5.23 cm-1 for complexes 2 and 3, respectively and J1 = -2.20 cm-1, J2 = 1.13 cm-1 and J3 = -1.12 cm-1 for complex 4. DFT calculations have been used to rationalize the magnetic super-exchange in complexes 2-4, by computing the theoretical coupling constants and analyzing the spin density plots.

Abstract
Four new heterometallic Cu(II)-U(VI) species, [{(CuL1)(CH3CN)}UO2(NO3)2] (1), [{(CuL2)(CH3CN)}UO2(NO3)2] (2), [{(CuL3)(H2O)}UO2(NO3)2] (3), and [UO2(NO3)2(H2O)2]·2[CuL4]·H2O (4), were synthesized using four different metalloligands ([CuL1], [CuL2], [CuL3], and [CuL4], respectively) derived from four unsymmetrically dicondensed N,O-donor Schiff bases. Single-crystal structural analyses revealed that complexes 1, 2, and 3 have a discrete dinuclear [Cu-UO2] core in which one metalloligand, [CuL], is connected to the uranyl moiety via a double phenoxido bridge. Two chelating nitrate ions complete the octa-coordination around uranium. Species 4 is a cocrystal, where a uranyl nitrate dihydrate is sandwiched between two metalloligands [CuL4] by the formation of strong hydrogen bonds between the H atoms of the coordinated water molecules to U(VI) and the O atoms of [CuL4]. Spectrophotometric titrations of these four metalloligands with uranyl nitrate dihydrate in acetonitrile showed a well-anchored isosbestic point between 300 and 500 nm in all cases, conforming with the coordination of [CuL1], [CuL2], [CuL3], and the H-bonding interaction of [CuL4] with UO2(NO3)2. This behavior of [CuL4] was utilized to selectively bind metal ions (e.g., Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and La3+) in the presence of UO2(NO3)2·2H2O in acetonitrile. The formation of these Cu(II)-U(VI) species in solution was also evaluated by steady-state fluorescence quenching experiments. The difference in the coordination behavior of these metalloligands toward [UO2(NO3)2(H2O)2] was studied by density functional theory calculations. The lower flexibility of the ethylenediamine ring and a large negative binding energy obtained from the evaluation of H bonds and supramolecular interactions between [CuL4] and [UO2(NO3)2(H2O)2] corroborate the formation of cocrystal 4. A very good linear correlation (r2 = 0.9949) was observed between the experimental U═O stretching frequencies and the strength of the equatorial bonds that connect the U atom to the metalloligand.

Abstract
Five new heterometallic Cu(ii)-Mn(ii) discrete trinuclear complexes, [(CuL)2Mn(CH3COO)2] (1), [(CuL)2Mn(NO3)2] (2), [(CuL)2Mn(C6H5COO)(H2O)]Cl (3), [(CuL)2Mn((p-OH)C6H5COO)(H2O)]ClO4 (4) and [(CuL)2Mn(HCOO)(H2O)]ClO4 (5), have been synthesized using a metalloligand, CuL derived from an N2O2 donor Schiff base, H2L (N,N'-bis(α-methylsalicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine). Single-crystal structural analyses reveal that all five complexes have a common [(CuL)2Mn] core, where two terminal metalloligands, CuL, are connected to the central metal ion, Mn(ii), via double phenoxido bridges. Among the complexes, 1 and 2 possess linear structures where the terminal Cu(ii) atoms are bridged to the central Mn(ii) atoms by acetate and nitrate ions, respectively along with the double phenoxido bridges, whereas 3, 4 and 5 have bent structures in which the respective anionic coligands, benzoate, p-hydroxybenzoate and formate ions are coordinated only to central Mn(ii) in monodentate fashion along with a water molecule that completes its hexa-coordinated geometry. Among the complexes, 1, 3, 4 and 5 show quite high bio-mimicking catecholase-like activity for the aerial oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol with turnover numbers (Kcat) of 139 h-1, 439 h-1, 348 h-1 and 730 h-1, respectively, whereas complex 2 is practically inactive towards this reaction. The presence of the coordinated water molecule to Mn(ii) in the bent complexes, 3-5, appears to be responsible for their high catalytic activity and the difference in their activity may be attributed to steric crowding due to the anionic coligand, whereas the inactivity of 2 seems to be associated with the low basicity of the nitrate ion. The temperature-dependent dc molar magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that complexes 1-5 are antiferromagnetically coupled with the exchange coupling constants (J) = -8.54 cm-1, -11.50 cm-1, -19.83 cm-1, -10.65 cm-1 and -10.27 cm-1 for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 respectively as is expected from the Cu-O-Mn bridging angles.
