This tutorial review discusses the structural and electronic consequences of the Jahn–Teller
effect in transition metal complexes, focussing on copper (II) compounds which tend to be …

All electron-transfer reactions are presumed to involve a significant reorganizational energy
representing a combination of (i) the internal changes in bond lengths and angles due to …

There is at present a need in several areas for a ra-tional approach toward ligand design for
selective complexation of metal ions in solution. Such areas would be, for example, design …

The σ-hole and π-hole interactions allow for a systematic understanding of some features of
the attractive interactions involving elements of groups 13–18 of the periodic table and of …

During the past three decades the field of macrocyclic complexes has expanded
tremendously, and the number of papers published per year dealing with this class of …

In 1934 Meadow and Reid1 at Johns Hopkins found that reaction of sodium ethanedithiolate
with ethylene bromide gives a rubbery malodorous polymer along with a small amount of the …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents a summary that discusses the coordination
chemistry of homoleptic thioether macrocycles critically, with emphasis on likely future …

Strong-field hexadentate ligands were synthesized and coordinated to cobalt metal centers
to result in three new low-spin to low-spin Co (III/II) redox couples. The ligand backbone has …

A density functional theory (DFT) protocol for the calculation of redox potentials of copper
complexes is developed based on 13 model copper complexes. The redox potentials are …

Ni and Se x-ray absorption spectroscopic studies of the [NiFeSe] hydrogenases from
Desulfovibrio baculatus are described. The Ni site geometry is pseudo-octahedral with a …
