Dual oxidase/oxygenase reactivity and resonance Raman spectra of {Cu3O2} moiety with perfluoro-t-butoxide ligands A Cu(I) fully fluorinated O-donor monodentate alkoxide complex, K[Cu(OC4F9)2], was previously shown to form a trinuclear copper–dioxygen species with a {Cu3(μ3-O)2} core, TOC4F9, upon reactivity with O2 at low temperature. Herein is reported a significantly expanded kinetic and mechanistic study of TOC4F9 formation using stopped-flow spectroscopy. […]

Heterobimetallic {PtMn} and {PtFe} lantern complexes with exceptionally long metallophilic contacts A new series of heterobimetallic lantern complexes, [PtM(SAc)4(pySMe)] (M = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3), Ni (4), Zn (5)), as well as additions to the previously reported series, [PtM(SAc)4(pyNH2)] (M = Mn (6), Fe (7)), have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized. Notably, compounds 1 and 6 are the first crystallographically characterized, […]
