The type 1 (T1) or blue Cu (BC) proteins are a highly studied group of electron transfer (ET)
active sites in bioinorganic chemistry. In this review, we cover several more recent results …

Metal–thiolate active sites play major roles in bioinorganic chemistry. The M Sthiolate
bonds can be very covalent, and involve different orbital interactions. Spectroscopic features …

Metal ions exist in almost half of the proteins in the protein databank, and they serve as
structural, electron-transfer, and catalytic elements in the metabolic processes of organisms …

A comprehensive understanding of the C–H bond cleavage step by the concerted
metalation–deprotonation (CMD) pathway is important in further development of cross …

Through the introduction of an aryl chloride substituent, the selectivity of palladium-catalyzed
direct arylation may be diverted to provide alternative regioisomeric products in high yields …

Palladium-catalyzed alkane arylation reactions with aryl halides are described for the
preparation of 2, 2-dialkyl-dihydrobenzofuran substrates. These reactions occur in excellent …

A dysprosium (III) sandwich complex,[DyIII (COT ″) 2Li (THF)(DME)], was synthesized using
1, 4-bis (trimethylsilyl) cyclooctatetraenyl dianion (COT ″). The complex behaves as a …

Reaction thermodynamics and potential energy surfaces are calculated using density
functional theory to investigate the mechanism of the reductive cleavage of the N− O bond …

An organometallic building block strategy was employed to investigate the magnetic
properties of a LnIII organometallic single-ion magnet (SIM) and subsequent single …

Two mononuclear high-spin FeII complexes with trigonal planar ([FeII (N (TMS) 2) 2
(PCy3)](1) and distorted tetrahedral ([FeII (N (TMS) 2) 2 (depe)](2) geometries are reported …
