A pair of enantiomeric
tetrahedral complexes (Λ-[Zn(L)2] and Δ-[Zn(L)2]) comprised of the achiral ligand methyl-3-hydroxy-3-phenyl-2-propenedithioate
(L) have been synthesized by spontaneous resolution. Two chiral inducers,
viz., d-(−)- and l-(+)-tartaric and mandelic
acids, have been employed to achieve bulk homochirality and extend
the generality of the present work. The work highlights the achievement
of bulk homochirality using readily available chiral inducers in the
synthesis of a spontaneously resolving chiral tetrahedral zinc(II)
complex using achiral starting materials. These findings are established
by 30 sets of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data with refined Flack
parameters and circular dichroism spectroscopy.
Eight novel luminescent and semiconducting Tl(i) β-oxodithioester complexes forming 1D/2D coordination polymeric structures were investigated using single crystal X-ray diffraction.
The structurally characterized four heteroleptic [Ni(ii) 1,1-dithiolate-phosphine] complexes have been investigated as electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER) in basic medium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
