- The heterodinuclear mixed-valence complex [FeMn(ICIMP)(OAc)(2)Cl] (1) {H2ICIMP = 2-(N-carboxylmethyl)-[N-(N-methylimidazolyl-2-methyl)aminomethyl]-[6-(N-isopropylmethyl)-[N-(N-methylimidazolyl-2-methyl)]aminomethyl-4-methylphenol], an unsymmetrical N4O2 donor ligand} has been synthesized and fully characterized by several spectroscopic techniques as well as by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure of the complex reveals that both metal centers in 1 are six-coordinate with the chloride ion occupying the sixth coordination site of the Mn-II ion. The phenoxide moiety of the ICIMP ligand and both acetate ligands bridge the two metal ions of the complex. Mossbauer spectroscopy shows that the iron ion in 1 is high-spin Fe-III. Two quasi-reversible redox reactions for the complex, attributed to the (FeMnII)-Mn-III/(FeMnII)-Mn-II (at -0.67 V versus Fc/Fc(+)) and (FeMnII)-Mn-III/(FeMnIII)-Mn-III (at 0.84 V), were observed by means of cyclic voltammetry. Complex 1, with an Fe-III-Mn-II distance of 3.58 angstrom, may serve as a model for the mixed-valence oxidation state of purple acid phosphatase from sweet potato. The capability of the complex to effect organophosphate hydrolysis (phosphatase activity) has been investigated at different pH levels (5.5-11) by using bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)phosphate (BDNPP) as the substrate. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the substrate coordinates to the Mn-II ion. In the transition state, a hydroxide ion that bridges the two metal ions becomes terminally coordinated to the Fe-III ion and acts as a nucleophile, attacking the phosphorus center of BDNPP with the concomitant dissociation of the leaving group.

- Enantioselective hydrogenation of tiglic acid effected by diastereomers of the general formula [(μ-H)2Ru3(μ3-S)(CO)7(μ-P-P*)] (P-P* = chiral Walphos diphosphine ligand) strongly supports catalysis by intact Ru3 clusters. A catalytic mechanism involving Ru3 clusters has been established by DFT calculations.

- Twenty clusters of the general formula [(μ-H)2Ru3(μ3-S)(CO)7(μ-P-P∗)] (P-P∗ = chiral diphosphine of the ferrocene-based Walphos or Josiphos families) have been synthesised and characterised. The clusters have been tested as catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation of tiglic acid [trans-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid]. The observed enantioselectivities and conversion rates strongly support catalysis by intact Ru3 clusters. A catalytic mechanism involving an active Ru3 catalyst generated by CO loss from [(μ-H)2Ru3(μ3-S)(CO)7(μ-P-P∗)] has been investigated by DFT calculations.

- Ten rhenium carbonyl complexes-[Re(H)(CO)(3)(1a)], [Re-3(mu-H)(3)(CO)(10) (1a)], [Re-2(CO)(9)(2a)], [Re-2(CO)(8)(2a)], [Re-2(CO)(9)(2b)], [{Re-2(CO)(9)}(2)(2b)], [Re-2 (CO)(8)(2b)], [Re-2(CO)(8)(1b)], [Re-2(mu-H)(2)(CO)(6)(2b)] and [Re-3(mu-H)(3)(CO)(11)(2b)]-containing different bidentate chiral phosphine ligands of the Josiphos (1a, 1b) and Walphos (2a, 2b) families have been synthesized and fully characterized (1a: (R)-1-{(S-P)-2-[Bis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] phosphino] ferrocenyl} ethyldi(3,5-xylyl) phosphine, 1b: (R)-1-{(S-P)-2-[Di(2-furyl) phosphino] ferrocenyl} ethyldi-tert-butylphosphine, 2a: (R)-1-{(R-P)-2-[2-[Bis(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl) phosphino] phenyl] ferrocenyl} ethylbis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] phosphine and 2b: (R)-1-{(R-P)-2-[2( Diphenylphosphino) phenyl] ferrocenyl} ethyldicyclohexylphosphine). The phosphine-substituted clusters were tested for hydrogenation of tiglic acid [trans-2-methyl-2-butenoic acid]. The catalytic reactions gave reasonable conversion rates (15-88 %) under relatively mild conditions but relatively moderate enantiomeric excesses (8-57 %) were observed. The crystal structures of [ReH(CO)(3)(1a)], [Re-2 (CO)(9)(2a)], [{Re-2(CO)(9)}(2)(2b)] and [Re-2(mu-H)(2)(CO)(6)(2b)] are presented.

- In the title compound, [Re(3)(mu-H)(3)(C(25)H(22)P(2))(CO)(10)]center dot CH(2)Cl(2), the three Re atoms form a triangle bearing ten terminal carbonyl groups and three edge-bridging hydrides. The bis(diphenylphosphanyl) methane ligand bridges two Re atoms. Neglecting the Re-Re interactions, each Re atom is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered over two sets of sites with fixed occupancies of 0.6 and 0.4.
