Abstract:
In this work, a pincer-type complex [Cp*Ir-(SNPh)(SNHPh)(C2 B10 H9 )] (2) was synthesized and its reactivity studied in detail. Interestingly, molecular hydrogen can induce the transformation between the metalloradical [Cp*Ir-(SNPh)2 (C2 B10 H9 )] (5. ) and 2. A mixed-valence complex, [(Cp*Ir)2 -(SNPh)2 (C2 B10 H8 )] (7.+ ), was also synthesized by one-electron oxidation. Studies show that 7.+ is fully delocalized, possessing a four-centered-one-electron (S-Ir-Ir-S) bonding interaction. DFT calculations were also in good agreement with the experimental results.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
