The coordination chemistry of the anionic NHC1-based on an imidazo[1,5-a]pyridin-3-ylidene (IPy) platform substituted at the C5 position by an anionic barbituric heterocycle was studied with d6(Ru(II), Mn(I)) and d8(Pd(II), Rh(I), Ir(I), Au(III)) transition-metal centers. While the anionic barbituric heterocycle is planar in the zwitterionic NHC precursor 1·H, NMR spectroscopic analyses supplemented by X-ray diffraction studies evidenced the chelating behavior of ligand 1-through the carbenic and the malonic carbon atoms in all of the complexes, resulting from a deformation of the lateral barbituric heterocycle. The complexes were obtained by reaction of the free carbene with the appropriate metal precursor, except for the Au(III) complex 10, which was obtained by oxidation of the antecedent gold(I) complex [AuCl(1)]?with PhICl2as an external oxidant. During the course of the process, the kinetic gold(I) intermediate 9 resulting from the oxidation of the malonic carbon of the barbituric moiety was isolated upon crystallization from the reaction mixture. The νCOstretching frequencies recorded for complex [Rh(1)(CO)2] (5) demonstrated the strong donating character of the malonate-C(sp3)/NHC ligand 1-. The ruthenium complex [Ru(1)Cl(p-cymene)] (11) was implemented as a precatalyst in the dehydrogenative synthesis of carboxylic acid derivatives from primary alcohols and exhibited high activities at low catalyst loadings (25-250 ppm) and a large tolerance toward functional groups.

A pyridyl side arm porphyrin incorporating C10 alkyl chains at the periphery of the porphyrin suitable for surface immobilisation on HOPG has been synthesised and tested for two state switching in solution. Temperature switching, involving reversible complexation of a covalently appended pyridyl side arm to the Zn(II) porphyrin, was comprehensively characterised by using variable temperature 1H NMR (-30 to +100°C) and UV-vis (10 to 90°C) in toluene. Molecular modelling assisted in understanding strain within the complex.

8-Azacoumarins have emerged as a promising class of compounds but are rarely explored due to challenging access. A novel, general, and practical method is provided for this class of compounds. The key lactonization step employs trans-acrylic acid attached pyridine N-oxides as the starting material, with acetic anhydride as both the activation agent and the solvent. Multiple transformations were involved in this reaction, including conjugate addition, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and elimination. These studies provide the basis for access to 8-azacoumarins, enabling future work including the discovery and development of novel coumarin-type drugs, fluorescent probes, photolabile protecting groups, and other active molecules.
