Utilising an anilido-imino ligand to stabilise zinc-phosphanide complexes: reactivity and fluorescent properties

Abstract

Anilido-imino-based ligands have been used to generate new zinc complexes, including rare zinc phosphanide and phosphinodichalcogenoate complexes. The fluorescence intensity of these compounds is highly dependent upon the non-ancillary ligand.

Low-Coordinate Magnesium Sulfide and Selenide Complexes

“…In addition, some molecules with low-coordinate BeOBe units have been structurally characterized. , Well-defined alkaline earth metal complexes of heavier chalcogenides are very rare, and a majority of complexes with magnesium and sulfur contacts stem from compounds containing sulfur as part of larger anionic ligands (e.g., in magnesium thiolate complexes). − A rare magnesium disulfide complex ( A ), see Figure , was reported by Ren and Gu from the reaction of a Mg I mimic and S 8 , plus related work for Ca. , Ghosh and Parkin reported a structurally characterized magnesium selenide complex B (Figure ) that was prepared via an organomagnesium species and H 2 Se, and this work also featured hydroselenide (biselenide) and a related bisulfide species . For the related metal zinc, few complexes with bridging low-coordinate chalcogenide ions are known − plus a unique anionic complex with a terminal Zn–S bond . Here we report on the chemistry of low-coordinate β-diketiminate magnesium sulfide complexes and one related magnesium selenide complex.…”
