Tris metal complexes

Experimentally based intuitive arguments have been presented to arrive at a regional rule for optical activity of d-d transitions of conformational isomers of octahedral metal complexes. Conformational preferences for chelate rings formed by 1,3-pn in its octahedral mono, bis, and tris metal complexes have been studied by calculation of the conformational energies. In all cases, the chair conformation was found to be the most stable. The lowest energy pathway for converting from one chair configuration into another has a barrier to activation of about 7 kcal mol Conformational types of metal-edta complexes have been studied. ... 

For some years we have been studying di- and tri-metal complexes in which organic ligands bridge the metal centres. 

Technetium-99m coordination compounds are used very widely as noniavasive imaging tools (35) (see Imaging technology Radioactive tracers). Different coordination species concentrate ia different organs. Several of the [Tc O(chelate)2] types have been used. In fact, the large majority of nuclear medicine scans ia the United States are of technetium-99m complexes. Moreover, chiral transition-metal complexes have been used to probe nucleic acid stmcture (see Nucleic acids). For example, the two chiral isomers of tris(1,10-phenanthroline)mthenium (IT) [24162-09-2] (14) iateract differentiy with DNA. These compounds are enantioselective and provide an addition tool for DNA stmctural iaterpretation (36). 

Organometallic compounds apart, oxidation states below - -2 are best represented by complexes with tris-bidentate nitrogen-donor ligands such as 2,2 -bipyridyl. Reduction by LiAlH4 in thf yields tris(bipyridyl) complexes in which the formal oxidation state of vanadium is -1-2 to —1. Magnetic moments are compatible with low-spin configurations of the metal but.
