We report the synthesis of two isomeric Pt(II) complexes ligated by doubly deprotonated 1,1′-bis(<i>o</i>-carborane) (<b>bc</b>). This work provides a potential route to fine-tune the electronic properties of luminescent metal complexes by virtue of vertex-differentiated coordination chemistry of carborane-based ligands.

Lignin is an abundant biopolymer important for plant function while holding promise as a renewable source of valuable chemicals. Although the lignification process in plant cell walls has been long-studied, a comprehensive, mechanistic understanding on the molecular scale remains elusive. A better understanding of lignification will lead to improved atomistic models of the plant cell wall that could, in turn, inform effective strategies for biomass valorization. Here, using first-principles quantum chemical calculations, we show that a simple model of kinetically-controlled radical coupling broadly rationalizes qualitative experimental observations of lignin structure across a wide variety of biomass types, thus paving the way for predictive, first-principles models of lignification while highlighting the ability of computational chemistry to help illuminate complex biological processes.

A number of new solvates and adducts containing bisphenyldimethylaminophosphine oxide is reported. The solvates have the general formula M[(C6H5)2P(O)N(CH3)2]42+(anion-)2, in which M = Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd, and the anions are ClO4- and BF4-. The adducts have the general formula M[(C6H5)2P(O)N(CH3)2]2Cl2, where M stands for the same series of metals.The compounds are characterized and identified by chemical analyses and physical measurements.Ligand-field and vibrational spectra have been investigated; values for the ligand-field parameters are reported. It is concluded that coordination takes place via the oxygen atom of the ligand.X-ray powder patterns were used in combination with ligand-field spectra to deduce the coordination around the metal ions.The interesting behaviour of the nickel (II) chloride adduct upon heating is discussed and it is shown that both a square pyramidal and a tetrahedral modification exists.
