Bis{2-[(3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrrol-2-ylidene-κN)amino]-3,5-diphenylpyrrol-1-ido-κN}palladium(II): a homoleptic four-coordinate tetraphenylazadipyrromethene complex of palladium

Synthesis and reactivity of aza-dipyrrin alkali metal salts

Reaction of aza-dipyrrins with alkali bases provides alkali salts of the anionic aza-dipyrrinato ligand. This anionic ligand source demonstrates complementary reactivity to the traditionally-used neutral pre-ligand.

Azadipyrromethenes: from traditional dye chemistry to leading edge applications

The journey of azadipyrromethenes from accidental dye chemistry to a compound class with widely applicable near infrared photophysical properties is documented.

Azadipyrromethene cyclometalation in neutral RuII complexes: photosensitizers with extended near-infrared absorption for solar energy conversion applications

In the on-going quest to harvest near-infrared (NIR) photons for energy conversion applications, a novel family of neutral ruthenium(ii) sensitizers has been developed by cyclometalation of an azadipyrromethene chromophore.

Twofac-tricarbonylrhenium(I) azadipyrromethene (ADPM) complexes: ligand-substitution effect on crystal structure

The crystal structures offac-(acetonitrile-κN)(2-{[3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene-κN1]amino}-3,5-bis(4-<!?tlsb=0.2pt>methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-ido-κN1)tricarbonylrhenium(I)–hexane–acetonitrile (2/1/2), [Re(C36H30N3O4)(CH3CN)(CO)3]·0.5C6H14·CH3CN, (2), andfac-(2-{[3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene-κN1]amino}-3,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-ido-κN1)tricarbonyl(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)rhenium(I), [Re(C36H30N3O4)(C2H6OS)(CO)3], (3), at 150 K are reported. Both complexes display a distorted octahedral geometry, with afac-Re(CO)3arrangement and one azadipyrromethene (ADPM) chelating ligand in the equatorial position. One solvent molecule completes the coordination sphere of the ReIcentre in the remaining axial position. The ADPM ligand shows high flexibility upon coordination, while retaining its π-delocalized nature. Bond length and angle analyses indicate that the differences in the geometry around the ReIcentre in (2) and (3), and those found in three reportedfac-Re(CO)3–ADPM complexes, are dictated mainly by steric factors and crystal packing. Both structures display intramolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonding. Intermolecular interactions of the Csp2—H...π and Csp2—H...O(carbonyl) types link the discrete monomers into extended chains.
