Abstract:
The sequential treatment of (Cy3P)2Cl2Ru[triple bond, length as m-dash]C with [PtCl2(C2H4)]2 and (dbm)2Cr[triple bond, length as m-dash]N affords trans-(Cy3P)2Cl2Ru[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-PtCl2-N[triple bond, length as m-dash]Cr(dbm)2, in which a platinum(ii) center is coordinated by both carbide and nitride ligands. ESR spectroscopy indicates that the carbide-nitride complex is loosely associated and that its unpaired electron remains localized mainly at the chromium center.

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...
