Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect recent research articles and reviews in the field of organometallic chemistry that report on the latest developments in organometallic synthesis. Organometallic compounds are compounds which contain at least one metal-carbon bond between a metal element and a carbon which belongs to an organic molecule. This class of compounds also includes the organometallic compounds of the metalloids (group 14 and 15) and metal carbonyls. These compounds play an important role as catalysts or intermediate compounds in some organic reactions. They have a broad range of applications in industrial processes, including the manufacturing of semiconductors and electronic materials, and can be used as catalysts in the polymerization process and as reagents in chemical reactions. They can act as precursors for producing electronic materials. However, some organometallic compounds are toxic substances which can cause environmental problems. The stability and reactivity of these compounds depend on the metals and the attached organic ligands. The structural characterization of organometallic compounds can help to identify intermediates in the catalytic process and determine the mechanism of reactions. The structural characterization of organometallic compounds is usually carried out by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods such as NMR and mass spectrometry.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Bio-Inspired Iron Pentadentate Complexes as Dioxygen Activators in the Oxidation of Cyclohexene and Limonene
by Katarzyna Rydel-Ciszek, Tomasz Pacześniak, Paweł Chmielarz and Andrzej Sobkowiak

Abstract
The use of dioxygen as an oxidant in fine chemicals production is an emerging problem in chemistry for environmental and economical reasons. In acetonitrile, the [(N4Py)FeII]2+ complex, [N4Py—N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] in the presence of the substrate activates dioxygen [...] Read more.
The use of dioxygen as an oxidant in fine chemicals production is an emerging problem in chemistry for environmental and economical reasons. In acetonitrile, the [(N4Py)FeII]2+ complex, [N4Py—N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] in the presence of the substrate activates dioxygen for the oxygenation of cyclohexene and limonene. Cyclohexane is oxidized mainly to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, and 2-cyclohexen-1-ol, cyclohexene oxide is formed in much smaller amounts. Limonene gives as the main products limonene oxide, carvone, and carveol. Perillaldehyde and perillyl alcohol are also present in the products but to a lesser extent. The investigated system is twice as efficient as the [(bpy)2FeII]2+/O2/cyclohexene system and comparable to the [(bpy)2MnII]2+/O2/limonene system. Using cyclic voltammetry, it has been shown that, when the catalyst, dioxgen, and substrate are present simultaneously in the reaction mixture, the iron(IV) oxo adduct [(N4Py)FeIV=O]2+ is formed, which is the oxidative species. This observation is supported by DFT calculations. Full article

Abstract
In this paper, we describe a series of diphenylphosphane and diphenylphosphanide gold(III) and gold(III)/gold(I) complexes containing 3,5-C6Cl2F3 as aryl ligands at gold that have been synthesized due to the arylating and oxidant properties of the new polymeric thallium(III) [...] Read more.
In this paper, we describe a series of diphenylphosphane and diphenylphosphanide gold(III) and gold(III)/gold(I) complexes containing 3,5-C6Cl2F3 as aryl ligands at gold that have been synthesized due to the arylating and oxidant properties of the new polymeric thallium(III) complex [TlCl(3,5-C6Cl2F3)2]n (1). Its reaction with [Au(3,5-C6Cl2F3)(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) produces the gold(III) complex [Au(3,5-C6Cl2F3)3(tht)] (2), which allows the synthesis of the diphenylohosphane derivative [Au(3,5-C6Cl2F3)3(PPh2H)] (3). Its treatment with acetylacetonate gold(I) derivatives leads to two novel AuIII/AuI phosphanido-bridged complexes, [PPN][Au(3,5-C6Cl2F3)3(µ-PPh2)AuCl] (4) and [PPN][{(3,5-C6Cl2F3)3Au(µ-PPh2)}2Au] (5). All these complexes have been characterized, and the crystal structures of 1, 2, 4 and 5 have been established by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods, showing a novel polymeric arrangement in 1.
