Summary: Planar chirality is an important form of molecular chirality that can induce enantioselectivity in transition metal catalysts. However, there are limitations in using late transition metal planar chiral complexes for enantioselective transformations due to synthetic constraints. Additionally, the methods for stereochemical assignment of planar chiral compounds are sometimes conflicting. This review aims to provide clarity on the assignment methods and overview the synthesis and use of late transition metal planar chiral complexes as enantioselective catalysts.

Summary: In this study, a series of NNN pincer-nickel complexes based on bis(imino)pyridine ligands were synthesized and characterized, showing promising results in catalyzing beta-alkylation reactions of alcohols with benzyl alcohols with high yields and unprecedented turnovers. The catalytic system exhibited zero-order dependence on catalyst concentration and first-order dependence on base and substrate concentrations, indicating a base-mediated aldol condensation as the rate-determining step. HRMS analysis identified most of the intermediates involved in the catalytic process, making it the first report of pincer-Ni catalyzed beta-alkylation of alcohols with such high turnovers using a homogeneous molecular nickel-based catalyst.

Summary: We report the synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of mu-oxo-bis[(octacosafluoro-meso-tetraphenylporphyrinato)iron(iii)] [(FeTPPF28)(2)O]. This novel iron complex acts as an efficient catalyst for oxidative biaryl coupling reactions of diarylamines and carbazoles. The asymmetric oxidative coupling, in the presence of an axially chiral biaryl phosphoric acid as co-catalyst, provides 2,2'-bis(arylamino)-1,1'-biaryls with 96% ee. Additionally, the Wacker-type oxidation of alkenes to ketones with (FeTPPF28)(2)O as catalyst and phenylsilane as reductant proceeds at room temperature with air as the terminal oxidant, resulting in increased ketone/alcohol product ratios for internal and aliphatic alkenes.

Summary: In this study, the interaction between Cu2+ ions/CuO nanoparticles and the fluorescent Schiff base ligand H3L was investigated using DFT methods and spectroscopic analysis. The results revealed that H3L exhibits similar affinity towards both Cu2+ ions in solution and Cu2+ ions on the surface of CuO nanoparticles. Fluorescence measurements suggested the presence of multiple binding sites for H3L on the CuO nanoparticles. The findings are important for understanding the binding mechanism and developing detection methods for CuO nanoparticles.

Summary: We investigated the use of the ligand H3L as a fluorescent chemosensor for detecting CdSe nanoparticles and CdSe-Cys quantum dots in ethanol-water samples. Our results showed that H3L exhibited a significant fluorescence quenching when CdSe NPs and CdSe-Cys QDs were added. We were able to detect CdSe NPs and CdSe-Cys QDs with low limits of detection using H3L, and the fluorescence intensity response of H3L-modified cellulose paper allowed us to easily detect CdSe-Cys QDs using a smartphone color recognizer application.

Summary: The influence of the solvent on the reaction between dysprosium(III) chloride hydrate and the N3O2 ligand H2L was investigated. A new mononuclear chloride complex [Dy(L)Cl(H2O)(2)] was isolated in ethanol, indicating no hydrolysis of the ligand. In contrast, a similar reaction in methanol resulted in partial hydrolysis of the Schiff base and the formation of a new hemiacetal donor. The magnetic characterization of the chloride complex showed field-induced single ion magnet behavior with a thermal energy barrier of 113.5 K, the highest reported for dysprosium complexes derived from H2L.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.
