Platinum thiolate complexes supported by PBP and POCOP pincer ligands as efficient catalysts for hydrosilylation of carbonyl compounds

Diphosphino-boryl-based PBP pincer platinum thiolate complexes, [Pt(SR){B(NCH2PtBu2)2-1,2-C6H4}] (R = H, 1a; Ph, 1b), and benzene-based bisphosphinite POCOP pincer platinum thiolate complexes, [Pt(SR)(tBu2PO)2-1,3-C6H3] (R = H, 2a; Ph, 2b), were prepared...

Self-assembly patterns of non-metalloid silver thiolates: structural, HR-ESI-MS and stability studies

Screening of AgNO3/AgStBu solutions in DMF, DMSO and NMP resulted in an isolation of three novel nanosized silver/thiolate complexes with a torus-like {Ag20(StBu)10} core. The structures of [NO3@Ag20(StBu)10(NO3)9(DMF)6] (1) and...
