The syntheses of the neutral molybdenum imido alkylidene N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of the general formula [Mo(NAr)(CHCMe2Ph)(NHC)XY] (Ar = 2-tBu-C6H4, 2-CF3-C6H4, 2,6-Me2-C6H3, 2,6-Cl2-C6H3, adamantyl; X, Y = OTf, OC(CF3)3, OCH(CF3)2, OC6F5, SC6F5, 2,5-bis(pentafluorophenyl)phen-1-yl) bearing electron-withdrawing NHCs (1,3-dimethyl-4,5-dichloroimidazol-2-ylidene...

Synthetic multimetallic porphyrinoids are potential candidates in catalysis, molecular magnetism and as modern optoelectronic materials. Introducing electronic heterogenicity in these multi-porphyrinoids shall bring in novel electronic and redox characteristics. In this direction, herein we report four discrete Corrole-Porphyrin-Corrole C[10]•P[5,15]•C[10]...

The Front Cover shows the utilization of benzimidazole-derivatized ligands and their mononuclear iron(III) complexes as a viable alternative for hydrolyzing organophosphate pesticides and also to evaluate the second coordination sphere effect of the benzimidazole moieties. Organophosphates are widely employed in safeguarding crops against pests and...

With the increase in demand of electronic devices in the modern civilization, research in material science is being projected to grow in faster rate. In this facet, coordination polymer (CP) based electronic device is one of the promising candidates to the material researchers. Herein, two new Zn(II) and Cd(II) based one-dimensional (1D) CPs, denoted...

A series of BaLaAl3O7:xEu3+ nanophosphors have been prepared by the high-temperature solid state reaction method. The XRD and SEM characterization results present that there exists a slight influence on the crystal structure and the average particle size of the nanophosphors while the Eu3+ ions are doped into the matrix. The intense and narrow red photoluminescence...

Transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical products or carbonaceous fuels is a crucial strategy for addressing the impact of global climate change and energy challenges. Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) shows promise in this regard, but challenges remain in the eCO2RR, such as poor electrocatalytic activity and low selectivity...
