  The title compound, {[MgPtCl2(C12H6N2O4)(C3H7NO)2(H2O)]·C3H7NO}n, is a one-dimensional coordination polymer. The structure consists of Pt-functionalized bi­pyridine ligands connected by MgII cations, as well as coordinating and non-coordinating solvent mol­ecules. The PtII cation is coordinated by the two N atoms of the bi­pyridine moiety and two Cl atoms in a square-planar fashion. This coordination induces an in-plane bend along the bi­pyridine backbone of approximately 10° from the linear ideal of a conjugated π-system. Likewise, the coordination to the MgII cation induces a significant bowing of the plane of the bi­pyridine of about 12°, giving it a distinct curved appearance. The carboxyl­ate groups of the bi­pyridine ligand exhibit moderate rotations relative to their parent pyridine rings. The MgII cation has a fairly regular octa­hedral coordination polyhedron, in which three vertices are occupied by O atoms from the carboxyl­ate groups of three different bi­pyridine ligands. The remaining three vertices are occupied by the O atoms of two di­methyl­formamide (DMF) mol­ecules and one water mol­ecule. The one-dimensional chains are oriented in the [01-1] direction, and non-coordinating DMF mol­ecules can be found in the space between the chains. The shortest inter­molecular O...H contacts are 2.844 (4) and 2.659 (4) Å, suggesting moderate hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. In addition, there is a short inter­molecular Pt...Pt contact of 3.491 (1) Å, indicating a Pt stacking inter­action. Some structure-directing contribution from the hydrogen bonding and Pt...Pt inter­action is probable. However, the crystal packing seems to be directed primarily by van der Waals inter­actions.

  Incorporation of the simple, readily available, building blocks ethylene, water and acetonitrile into Au(tpy)(OCOCF3)2 (tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) in a one-step reaction leads to high yields of a new 6-membered ring gold(III) metallacycle complex. The metallacycle has been characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically, and the mechanism of its formation has been investigated with the aid of DFT calculations.

  The structure and properties of two new UiO-67-type metal–organic frameworks, along with their linker synthesis and powder and single crystal synthesis, are presented. The new MOFs, UiO-67-Me and UiO-67-BN, are based on 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl and 1,1′-binaphthyl linker scaffolds, and show a much higher stability to water than the thoroughly investigated UiO-67, which is based on the biphenyl scaffold. On the basis of structure models obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction, it is seen that these linkers are partly shielding the Zr cluster. The new materials have higher density than UiO-67, but show a higher volumetric adsorption capacity for methane. UiO-67-BN exhibits excellent reversible water sorption properties, and enhanced stability to aqueous solutions over a wide pH range; it is to the best of our knowledge the most stable Zr-MOF that is isostructural to UiO-67 in aqueous solutions.

  The Au(III) complex Au(OAcF)2(tpy) (1, OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-p-tolylpyridine) undergoes reversible dissociation of the OAcF ligand trans to C, as seen by 19F NMR. In dichloromethane or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the reaction between 1 and ethylene produces Au(OAcF)(CH2CH2OAcF)(tpy) (2). The reaction is a formal insertion of the olefin into the Au–O bond trans to N. In TFA this reaction occurs in less than 5 min at ambient temperature, while 1 day is required in dichloromethane. In trifluoroethanol (TFE), Au(OAcF)(CH2CH2OCH2CF3)(tpy) (3) is formed as the major product. Both 2 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. In TFA/TFE mixtures, 2 and 3 are in equilibrium with a slight thermodynamic preference for 2 over 3. Exposure of 2 to ethylene-d4 in TFA caused exchange of ethylene-d4 for ethylene at room temperature. The reaction of 1 with cis-1,2-dideuterioethylene furnished Au(OAcF)(threo-CHDCHDOAcF)(tpy), consistent with an overall anti addition to ethylene. DFT(PBE0-D3) calculations indicate that the first step of the formal insertion is an associative substitution of the OAcF trans to N by ethylene. Addition of free –OAcF to coordinated ethylene furnishes 2. While substitution of OAcF by ethylene trans to C has a lower barrier, the kinetic and thermodynamic preference of 2 over the isomer with CH2CH2OAcF trans to C accounts for the selective formation of 2. The DFT calculations suggest that the higher reaction rates observed in TFA and TFE compared with CH2Cl2 arise from stabilization of the –OAcF anion lost during the first reaction step.

  Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are coordination compounds that exhibit a very high crystallinity and porosity. The structure is built using cationic metal clusters as cornerstones, and organic ligands (often dicarboxylic acids) bridging the cornerstones together, commonly referred to as inorganic clusters and organic linkers respectively. MOFs have been investigated for their potential in e.g. gas storage, gas adsorption, gas separation and heterogeneous catalysis.[1] The research on metal-organic frameworks has grown exponentially during the last couple of decades. The University of Oslo (UiO) has been participating actively in the research, and has since 2008 developed its own successful series of zirconium-based MOFs, namely UiO-66, UiO-67 (figure shown below) and UiO-68. The success behind the UiO MOF-series is based on their unprecedented stability to thermal, chemical and physical decomposition.[2] 3,3’-dialkoxy-1,1’-biphenyl-4,4’-dicarboxylic acids have the potential for being interesting UiO-67 linkers with their excellent tunability of hydrophobicity and steric bulk. This is made possible by adjusting the length of the alkyl chain. Three biphenyl linkers designed for UiO-67 metal-organic frameworks, two which are previously unreported, have been synthesized and fully characterized.

  The interest in organogold compounds has seen a great development during the last years. Gold(III) complexes are investigated as potential anti-cancer drugs and homogeneous catalysts for organic transformations. Nucleophilic additions to alkenes are of high practical value but also very challenging. Gold(III)-mediated methods for these reactions are underdeveloped, but alkyl gold(III) complexes are assumed to be important intermediates in the catalytic process. Here, the synthesis of a number of novel alkyl gold(III) complexes, that have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography, is presented. A DFT geometry optimization of the structure of one of the new alkyl gold(III) complexes and its isomers was performed to shed light on the stabilities of different isomers. Geometry optimization of the solid state structure was performed and a good agreement between the X ray and DFT structure was found. Some unexpected products were obtained and possible mechanisms regarding the formation were proposed and discussed.

  In this study, the 1,1'-binaphthyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (BNDC) linker has been synthesized by six-step synthesis route in five gram level. Meanwhile, a four-step synthesis route was also explored in a milligram scale. Then a new Zr-MOF with the BNDC linker was prepared by the conventional method. The synthesis of this MOF single crystal was also tested.This new Zr-MOF was characterized by a various methods including powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), N2 adsorption, CO2 and methane adsorption, optical microscope and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, water stability test, pH stability test, and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

  The prevalence of gold catalysis in the synthetic community has increased dramatically within the last few years, and a wide range of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold(I) and, to a lesser extent, gold(III) complexes have been studied and probed for their catalytic activity in organic transformations. Here, a number of novel iminocarbene gold(I) and gold(III) complexes have been synthesised and characterised by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The proposed interaction between the gold(III) metal centre and imine functionality pendant from the NHC ligand has been studied at the DFT level of theory and from an analysis of the electron density and its derivatives it has been shown that there is an attractive non-covalent interaction between these sites. Preliminary results also indicate that a [C,N]-chelating iminocarbene gold(III) complex has been prepared.

  Metallorganiske nettverksforbindelser (MOFer) har vært en forskningsområde ved Universitet i Oslo (UiO) de siste årene og en unik serie MOFer er blitt utviklet her. MOFene har blitt oppkalt etter UiO (UiO-66, UiO-67 og UiO-68). UiO-MOFene består av Zr6O4(OH)4(CO2)12-clustere forbundet av aromatiske dikarboksylsyrer. Både UiO-66 og UiO-67 har høy termisk og mekanisk stabilitet, og funksjonaliserte UiO-MOFer er potensielle kandidater for katalyse og selektiv adsorpsjon. I dette arbeidet er flere funksjonaliserte organiske ligander, linkere, blitt syntetisert og studert. Disse er blitt anvendt som linkere i UiO-67-MOFen. Viktigheten av å utføre linkersyntesen på en måte som fungerer på stor skala er blitt vektlagt, og dette vil utgjøre et betydelig fokus i oppgaven.

  Gull(III)-kjemi er et relativt nytt og uberørt felt innenfor metallorganisk kjemi. Tilset-gruppen har tidligere publisert artikler om gull som bærer en bidentat tolylpyridin-ligand og varierende alkyl- og fenylsystemer. Arbeidet i denne oppgaven har fokusert seg på å innføre nye R-grupper. Nye komplekser er blitt undersøkt og karakterisert. Spesielt ett system, R=CH2SiMe3 har blitt utforsket mye, med både lav-temperaturstudier og krystallografiske metoder. I tillegg inneholder oppgaven forsøk på å lage en rekke nye forbindelser som kunne oppdages ved analyser, men som ikke kunne isoleres som et rent produkt.

  Syklometallerte Au(III)-komplekser har vist seg lovende som potensielle kreftmedisiner og som katalysatorer innen homogen katalyse. De syklometallerte Au(III)-kompleksene er i midlertidig relativt lite utforsket, og gode syntesemetoder for syntese av slike komplekser er begrenset. Det er derfor ønskelig å utforske kjemien til disse kompleksene, både med hensyn på syntese, struktur, reaktivitet og katalyse. I denne oppgaven beskrives syntese og karakterisering av fire nye syklometallerte Au(III)-komplekser. Kompleksene har blitt karakterisert ved hjelp av NMR, MS, elementanalyse samt énkrystall røntgendiffraksjon. To tidligere rapporterte Au(III)-komplekser ble studert med henblikk på katalyse med eten som substrat. De to kompleksene viste ikke tegn på katalytisk aktivitet. I stedet ble en formell innsetting av eten observert for det ene Au(III)-komplekset. Mekanismen for denne viktige reaksjonen, som er av relevans for katalyse, er blitt studert.
