“…A literature survey on the chemistry of H 2 dimpy showed the use of this molecule and its derivatives, via alkylation or deprotonation, in the modulation of redox and spectroscopic properties of Co, Mn, Ni, Ru and Fe complexes (Carina et al, 1998;Fuchs et al, 2010;Hammes et al, 2005;Savchuk et al, 2017;Stupka et al, 2004), and in the preparation of catalysts based on different metal centres, for example, ruthenium(II) complexes for H/D exchange between hydrocarbons (Hashiguchi et al, 2010) and for condensation of benzyl alcohol (Li et al, 2018), copper(II) complexes for atom-transfer radical polymerization (Ratier de Arruda et al, 2017) and cobalt(III) complexes for water oxidation (Rigsby et al, 2012). Reports on gold(III) complexes as anticancer agents (Zou et al, 2013) and organoplatinum(II) complexes with charge-carrier mobility and thermo-and vapour-luminescence properties (Che et al, 2011) were also found in the literature.…”
