Abstract Rhodium boryl complexes are valuable catalysts for hydro- or diboration reactions of alkenes, but can also react with ketones (R2C=O) and imines (R2C=NR′) giving rise to insertion products having formally Rh–R2C–O/NR′–B linkages. The resulting molecular structures, however, may show complex metal–ligand and ligand–ligand interaction patterns with often unclear metal–ligand connectivities (hapticities, ηn). In order to assign the correct hapticity in a set of asymmetric rhodium-allyl compounds with molecular structures indicating η1−5 bonding, a comprehensive DFT study was conducted. The study comprises determination of a variety of real-space bonding indicators derived from computed electron and pair densities according to the AIM, ELI-D, NCI, and DORI topological and surface approaches, which uncover the metal–ligand connectivties and suggest an asymmetric ligand–metal donation/metal–ligand back-donation framework according to the Dewar–Chatt–Duncanson model.

Carbon dots were explored for fluorescent detection of Co2+ through metal–ligand interaction. Moreover, the quenched fluorescence can be turned on with the addition of biothiols, which demonstrates the possible mechanism.

Conventional approaches to synthesize thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with excellent robustness are limited by a competing relationship between soft and hard segments for tuning mechanical properties in terms of chain flexibility and micro-phase separation. Herein, we present a facile and effective way of simultaneously improving the tensile strength, elongation, and toughness by constructing dynamic cross-linkages from metal-ligand interaction between Zn2+ and pyridine moiety in backbone of poly(urethane urea) (PUU) derived from 2,6-diaminopyridine and poly(propylene glycol). It was found that a Zn2+/pyridine ratio of 1:4 is the most effective for improving robustness. Specifically, tensile strength, elongation, and toughness could be remarkably increased to 16.0 MPa, 1286%, and 89.3 MJ/m3 with 226%, 29%, and 185% increments compared to uncomplexed PUU, respectively. Results from UV-vis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), cyclic tensile tests, and stress relaxation reveal that metal-ligand interaction significantly interferes with the hydrogen bonding of urea groups, thus leading to weakening of stiffness. Furthermore, half of vacant ligands enable dynamic complexation during stretching, which consequently ensures constant noncovalent cross-linkages for constraining mutual chain sliding, contributing to simultaneous improvement of tensile strength, elongation, and toughness. This work provides a promising approach for designing TPU with excellent robustness.
