Cs(9)[(gamma-PW(10)O(36))(2)Ru(4)O(5)(OH)(H(2)O)(4)], a new all-inorganic, soluble catalyst for the efficient visible-light-driven oxidation of water.

The tetraruthenium-substituted polyoxometalate Cs(9)[(gamma-PW(10)O(36))(2)Ru(4)O(5)(OH)(H(2)O)(4)] was synthesized and structurally, spectroscopically and electrochemically characterized; it was shown to be a catalyst for visible-light-induced water oxidation.

Biomimetic syntheses from squalene-like precursors: synthesis of ent-abudinol B and reassessment of the structure of muzitone.

We achieved the stereoselective syntheses of two different structural patterns corresponding to the enantiomers of the marine natural products abudinol B and muzitone, by developing two-directional tandem biomimetic cyclizations of polyepoxides of squalene analogues in which one alkene was functionalized as an enolsilane. In the course of this work, we demonstrated that the structure of muzitone was misassigned.

Controlled synthesis of a functionalized polytungstate ligand and a {MaMbMc(PW9)2} sandwich complex

The synthesis of an unprecedented vacant polytungstate ligand and its use to obtain a crystallographically characterized {MaMbMc(PW9)2}-type sandwich structure, the first example of the purposeful and controlled metal incorporation into a derivatized POM, are reported.

3-Chloro-6-[4-(2-pyrid-yl)piperazin-1-yl]pyridazine.

In the title compound, C13H14ClN5, the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation and the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 13.91 (7)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen-bond interactions.

3-Chloro-6-{4-[3-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]piperazin-1-yl}pyridazine.

The title compound, C15H14ClF3N4, was synthesized from 3,6-dichloropyridazine and 1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]piperazine. The piperazine ring is flanked by 3-chloropyridazine and 3-trifluoromethylphenyl rings and adopts a chair conformation, whereas the 3-chloropyridazine and 3-trifluoromethylphenyl rings are planar, with maximum deviations of 0.0069 (13) and 0.0133 (14) Å, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen-bond interactions.
