Abstract
The chemistry of 1,2,4,5-tetrazines has attracted considerable interest both from a synthetic and applicative standpoint. Recently, regioselective reactions with alkynes and alkenes have been reported to be favored once the tetrazine ring is coordinated to Re(I), Ru(II), and Ir(III) centers. Aiming to further explore the effects of metal coordination, herein, we unveil the unexplored reactivity of tetrazines with chalcogenocyanate anions. Thus, ruthenium(II) tetrazine complexes, [RuCl{κ2N-3-(2-pyridyl)-6-R-1,2,4,5-tetrazine}(η6-arene)]+ (arene = p-cymene, R = H, [1a]+, R = Me, [1b]+, R = 2-pyridyl, [1c]+; arene = C6Me6, R = H, [1d]+, R = Me, [1e]+; PF6- salts), reacted quantitatively and in mild conditions with M(ECN) salts (M = Na, K, Bu4N; E = O, S, Se). The addition of thiocyanate or selenocyanate to the tetrazine ligand is regioselective and afforded, via N2 release, 1,2,4-triazine-5-chalcogenone heterocycles, the one with selenium being unprecedented. The novel ruthenium complexes [RuCl{κ2N-(2-pyridyl)}{triazine chalcogenone}(η6-arene)] 2a-e (sulfur), 3b, 3d, and 3e (selenium) were characterized by analytical (CHNS analyses, conductivity), spectroscopic (IR, multinuclear and two-dimensional (2D) NMR), and spectrometric (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)) techniques. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the nucleophilic attack of SCN- on the tetrazine ring is kinetically driven. Compound 2b is selectively and reversibly mono-protonated on the triazine ring by HCl or other strong acids, affording a single tautomer. When reactions of chalcogenocyanates were performed on the 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) complex [RuCl(bpy)(η6-p-cymene)]+, the chloride substitution products [Ru(ECN)(bpy)(η6-p-cymene)]+ (E = O, [4]+; E = S, [5]+; E = Se, [6]+) were obtained in 82-90% yields (PF6- salts). Combined spectroscopic data (IR, 1H/13C/77Se NMR) was revealed to be a useful tool to study the linkage isomerism of the chalcogenocyanate ligand in [4-6]+.

Abstract
Organometallic complexes are frequently deposited on solid surfaces, but little is known about how the resulting complex-solid interactions alter their properties. Here, a series of complexes of the type Cu(dppf)(Lx)+ (dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, Lx = mono- and bidentate ligands) were synthesized, physisorbed, ion-exchanged, or covalently immobilized on solid surfaces and investigated by 31P MAS NMR spectroscopy. Complexes adsorbed on silica interacted weakly and were stable, while adsorption on acidic γ-Al2O3 resulted in slow complex decomposition. Ion exchange into mesoporous Na-[Al]SBA-15 resulted in magnetic inequivalence of 31P nuclei verified by 31P-31P RFDR and 1H-31P FSLG HETCOR. DFT calculations verified that a MeCN ligand dissociates upon ion exchange. Covalent immobilization via organic linkers as well as ion exchange with bidentate ligands both lead to rigidly bound complexes that cause broad 31P CSA tensors. We thus demonstrate how the interactions between complexes and functional surfaces determine and alter the stability of complexes. The applied Cu(dppf)(Lx)+ complex family members are identified as suitable solid-state NMR probes for investigating the influence of support surfaces on deposited inorganic complexes.

Abstract
The site-selective functionalization of proteins has broad application in chemical biology, but can be limited when mixtures result from incomplete conversion or the formation of protein containing side products. It is shown here that when proteins are covalently tagged with pyridyl-tetrazines, the nickel-iminodiacetate (Ni-IDA) resins commonly used for His-tags can be directly used for protein affinity purification. These Affinity Bioorthogonal Chemistry (ABC) tags serve a dual role by enabling affinity-based protein purification while maintaining rapid kinetics in bioorthogonal reactions. ABC-tagging works with a range of site-selective bioconjugation methods with proteins tagged at the C-terminus, N-terminus or at internal positions. ABC-tagged proteins can also be purified from complex mixtures including cell lysate. The combination of site-selective conjugation and clean-up with ABC-tagged proteins also allows for facile on-resin reactions to provide protein-protein conjugates.

Abstract
The dual functionality of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine as a bioorthogonal reactive unit and a luminescence quencher has shaped tetrazine-based probes as attractive candidates for luminogenic labeling of biomolecules in living systems. In this work, three cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes featuring two tetrazine units were synthesized and characterized. Upon photoexcitation, the complexes were non-emissive but displayed up to 3900-fold emission enhancement upon the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) [4+2] cycloaddition with (1R,8S,9s)-bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne (BCN) substrates. The rapid reaction kinetics (k2 up to 1.47×104 M-1 s-1 ) of the complexes toward BCN substrates allowed effective peptide labeling. The complexes were also applied as live cell bioimaging reagents and photocytotoxic agents. One of the complexes was utilized in the preparation of luminescent nanosized hydrogels that exhibited interesting cargo delivery properties.

Abstract
Pyridyl tetrazines coordinated to metals like rhenium have been shown to be more reactive in [4 + 2] cycloadditions than their uncomplexed counterparts. Using density functional theory calculations, we found a more favorable interaction energy caused by stronger orbital interactions as the origin of this increased reactivity. Additionally, the high regioselectivity is due to a greater degree of charge stabilization in the transition state, leading to the major product.

Abstract
The bidentate ligand 3-(pyrid-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (TzPy) coordinated in the complex [CyRuCl(TzPy)]PF6 ([1]+; Cy = η6-p-cymene) shows noninnocent behavior and can be modified through the addition of dienophiles, vinylferrocene (ViFc) or ethynylferrocene (EthFc). The kinetics and transition-state thermodynamic analysis of the reaction of [1]+ + ViFc found ΔG⧧(298 K) = 67 kJ mol-1, while that of [1]+ + EthFc was ΔG⧧(298 K) = 83 kJ mol-1. The room temperature second-order rate of [1]+ + EthFc, k2 = 1.51(4) × 10-2 M-1 s-1, was 3 orders of magnitude faster than that of EthFc + TzPy, k2 = 1.05(15) × 10-4 M-1 s-1. The [1H2Fc]+ complex was converted to [1Fc]+ by oxidation with oxygen and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-quinone, and the molecular structure of [1Fc]+ was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title complex [1]+ showed a quasi-reversible reduction in the cyclic voltammogram, and the electrochemical reduction mechanism was determined by UV-vis spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) experiments, as well as supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The dihydropyridazine [1H2Fc]+ and pyridazine [1Fc]+ states of the ligand showed ligand noninnocence similar to that of the parent tetrazine but at a cathodically shifted potential. The dihydropyridazine [1H2Fc]+ showed a mixture of several products; however, upon oxidation, only a single product, [1Fc]+, was formed from the endo addition of the dienophile to [1]+. The electrochemical mechanism of [1Fc]+ was also studied by cyclic voltammetry and UV-vis SEC experiments, as well as supported by DFT calculations.
