Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inorganic Chemistry is one of the most popular and fastest growing, interdisciplinary research fields of Chemistry, which is served by an appreciable number of faculty members and Research Directors in Universities and Research Institutes. The research interests of the Inorganic Chemistry community span the areas of synthetic inorganic chemistry (coordination clusters, polymers and MOFs), structural chemistry, materials science, spectroscopic, physicochemical and theoretical characterization, molecule-based magnetism, luminescence, catalysis, conductivity, bioinorganic and medicinal inorganic chemistry, and photochemistry, to name a few.

The present Special Issue is a compilation of novel, cutting-edge achievements in the most interesting areas of modern inorganic chemistry, which are as follows:

  • Single-molecule magnets, MOFs;
  • Spin crossover;
  • Multifunctional magnetic materials;
  • Magnetocaloric effect;
  • Crystal structure;
  • Structure−property relationships;
  • Magnetic relaxation;
  • Magnetic materials;
  • Prussian blue analogues and photomagnetism;
  • Inorganic heterostructures ;
  • Luminescence thermometers;
  • Inorganic dyes;
  • Bio-inorganic compounds;
  • Inorganic materials in catalysis;
  • Inorganic materials for supercapacitors.

This Special Issue will contain the most recent results obtained in research laboratories of prominent inorganic chemists from Europe working in the described broad area of inorganic chemistry. As such, this Special Issue will be interesting to other chemists working in this field and beyond—all those who further advance science and human knowledge.

Iodosilarene derivatives (PhIO, PhI(OAc)2) constitute an important class of oxygen atom transfer reagents in organic synthesis and are often used together with iron-based catalysts. Since the factors controlling the ability of iron centers to catalyze alkane hydroxylation are not yet fully understood, the aim of this report is to develop bioinspired non-heme iron catalysts in combination with PhI(OAc)2, which are suitable for performing C-H activation. Overall, this study provides insight into the iron-based ([FeII(PBI)3(CF3SO3)2] (1), where PBI = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) catalytic and stoichiometric hydroxylation of triphenylmethane using PhI(OAc)2, highlighting the importance of reaction conditions including the effect of the co-ligands (para-substituted pyridines) and oxidants (para-substituted iodosylbenzene diacetates) on product yields and reaction kinetics. A number of mechanistic studies have been carried out on the mechanism of triphenylmethane hydroxylation, including C-H activation, supporting the reactive intermediate, and investigating the effects of equatorial co-ligands and coordinated oxidants. Strong evidence for the electrophilic nature of the reaction was observed based on competitive experiments, which included a Hammett correlation between the relative reaction rate (logkrel) and the σp (4R-Py and 4R’-PhI(OAc)2) parameters in both stoichiometric (ρ = +0.87 and +0.92) and catalytic (ρ = +0.97 and +0.77) reactions. The presence of [(PBI)2(4R-Py)FeIIIOIPh-4R’]3+ intermediates, as well as the effect of co-ligands and coordinated oxidants, was supported by their spectral (UV–visible) and redox properties. It has been proven that the electrophilic nature of iron(III)-iodozilarene complexes is crucial in the oxidation reaction of triphenylmethane. The hydroxylation rates showed a linear correlation with the FeIII/FeII redox potentials (in the range of −350 mV and −524 mV), which suggests that the Lewis acidity and redox properties of the metal centers greatly influence the reactivity of the reactive intermediates.

Coordination complexes of lanthanide metals with tris-1-naphthylphosphine oxide (Nap3PO, L) have not been previously reported in the literature. We describe here the formation of lanthanide(III) nitrate complexes Ln(NO3)3L4 (Ln = Eu to Lu) and the structures of [Ln(NO3)3L2]·2L (Ln = Eu, Dy, Ho, Er) and L. The core structure of the complexes is an eight-coordinate [Ln(NO3)3L2] with the third and fourth ligands H-bonded via their oxygen atoms to one of the naphthyl rings. The structures are compared with those of the analogous complexes of triphenylphosphine oxide and show that the Ln-O(P) bond in the Nap3PO complexes is slightly longer than expected on the basis of differences in coordination numbers. The reaction solutions, investigated by 31P and 13C NMR spectroscopy in CD3CN, show that coordination of L occurs across the lanthanide series, even though complexes can only be isolated from Eu onwards. Analysis of the 31P NMR paramagnetic shifts shows that there is a break in the solution structures with a difference between the lighter lanthanides (La–Eu) and heavier metals (Tb–Lu) which implies a minor difference in structures. The isolated complexes are very poorly soluble, but in CDCl3, NMR measurements show dissociation into [Ln(NO3)3L2] and 2L occurs. Full article

An unusual series of germylenes and stannylenes stabilized by new tetradentate bis(amidine) ligands RNC(R′)N-linker-NC(R′)NR with a rigid naphthalene backbone has been prepared by protonolysis reaction of Lappert’s metallylenes [M(HMDS)2] (M = Ge or Sn). Germylenes and stannylenes were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. DFT calculations have been performed to clarify the structural and electronic properties associated with tetradentate bis(amidine) ligands. Stannylene L1Sn shows reactivity through oxidation, oxidative addition, and transmetalation reactions, affording the corresponding gallium and aluminum derivatives. Full article
