Summary: We report the synthesis of three neutral complexes with different coordination modes of a disilylated metalloid germanium cluster to divalent lanthanides. The complexes were characterized by various techniques and their solid-state and solution behavior was studied. Compound 2 exhibits a blue luminescence typical for Eu2+.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of the first rare earth complexes of metalloid group 14 clusters. X-ray crystallographic analysis and DFT calculations reveal a novel eta(2)-coordination mode of the Ge(9)Hyp(3) units and a slight distortion of the Ge-9 cage.

Summary: This article describes a convenient modification to established synthetic routes for the preparation of complexes, as well as the differences in oxidation processes between iron and ruthenium analogues. The study also reveals limited differences in the gross electronic structures of Cp vs. Cp* derivatives in both iron and ruthenium series through redox properties and spectroelectrochemical investigations.

Summary: In this study, various indenyl rhodium complexes were synthesized and tested for their catalytic activities, revealing some complexes exhibited higher catalytic activity than others. These complexes were utilized as catalysts for the borylation of benzene, and the effects of different ligands on catalytic activity were investigated through experiments.

Summary: This Perspective focuses on recent advances in C-H functionalization with alkenes, allenes, and alkynes by half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts, including asymmetric transformations. The reaction generally proceeds through formal C-H addition to unsaturated C-C bonds, thus constituting a 100% atom-efficient route for the construction of new C-C bonds. Future outlooks in related areas are also described.

Summary: Experimental results showed that a series of ruthenium (II) rectangular mac rocyclic assemblies exhibited different cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines, with naphthoquinone ruthenium assemblies showing good anti-tumor activity and lower toxicity in zebrafish, indicating better anticancer effects. The main interaction between ruthenium assembly and DNA was found to be insertion.

Summary: The reaction of Ru with different ligands resulted in the synthesis of four dinuclear ruthenium(II) complexes with good catalytic activities in the transfer hydrogenation of ketone substrates. Their molecular structures were analyzed using NMR, FT-IR, ESI-MS, and elemental analyses, confirming the catalytic efficiency of these complexes.
