Abstract
We report two dinuclear rhenium(V) oxo complexes 1 and 2 types, [ReV(O)(Cl)3(L2-)ReV(O)(Cl)3][NBu4]2 (1, L2- = dianionic 2,5-dihydroxy 1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ2-)) and (2, L2- = dianionic chloranilic acid (CA2-) ligands), as a homogeneous electrocatalyst for water oxidation reactions in the acetonitrile-water mixture. The evolution of dioxygen gas at the anode was confirmed by a GC-TCD study. In controlled potential electrolysis (CPE), oxidation at 1.30 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) at neutral pH, 1 and 2 afforded 1+ [ReVI(O)(Cl)3(DBQ˙3-)ReVI(O)(Cl)3]- and 2+ [ReVI(O)(Cl)3(CA˙3-)ReVI(O)(Cl)3]- ions, respectively, via the redox induced electron transfer (RIET) process. Electrochemically generated species of 1+ and 2+ could be isolated in dry acetonitrile. 1+ and 2+ ions give strong EPR signals in fluid solution as well as under frozen glass conditions due to the [ReVI(O)(Cl)3(L˙3-)ReVI(O)(Cl)3]- ↔ [ReVI(O)(Cl)3(L2-)ReV(O)(Cl)3]- (where L2- = DBQ2- and CA2-) equilibrium. However, the continuation of the CPE study (1.30 V vs. Ag/AgCl) in the presence of acetonitrile-water mixture oxidised the in situ generated species of 1+ and 2+ to higher valent ReVIO species. These species (1+ and 2+) bound water through the water nucleophilic attack (WNA) to produce peroxide intermediate species of [ReV(OOH)(Cl)3(DBQ2-)ReV(OOH)(Cl)3] (A1) and [ReV(OOH)(Cl)3(CA2-)ReV(OOH)(Cl)3] (A2) for catalysts 1 and 2, respectively. Interestingly, A1 and A2 were authenticated and analysed by ESI mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy and were the active precursors of this water oxidation process. The extent of current generation under similar conditions suggested that complex 1 is superior to complex 2 for the water oxidation reaction. Notably, the maximum turnover frequency (TOFmax) of catalysts 1 and 2 were 2.1 and 1.6 s-1 at 0.27 V and 0.24 V over potential, respectively, which is very significant in WOR.

Abstract
One ongoing challenge in the field of iridium-based water oxidation catalysts is to develop a molecular precatalyst affording well-defined homogeneous active species for catalysis. Our previous work by using organometallic precatalysts Cp*Ir(pyalk)OH and Ir(pyalk)(CO)2 (pyalk = (2-pyridyl)-2-propanolate) suggested a μ-oxo-bridged Ir dimer as the probable resting state, although the structure of the active species remained elusive. During the activation, the ligands Cp* and CO were found to oxidatively degrade into acetic acid or other products, which coordinate to Ir centers and affect the catalytic reaction. Two related dimers bearing two pyalk ligands on each iridium were crystallized for structural analysis. However, preliminary results indicated that these crystallographically characterized dimers are not active catalysts. In this work, we accessed a mixture of dinuclear iridium species from a coordination precursor, Na[Ir(pyalk)Cl4], and assayed their catalytic activity for oxygen evolution by using NaIO4 as the oxidant. This catalyst showed comparable oxygen-evolution activity to the ones previously reported from organometallic precursors without demanding oxidative activation to remove sacrificial ligands. Future research along this direction is expected to provide insights and design principles toward a well-defined active species.

A Comparative Analysis of the In Vitro Anticancer Activity of Iridium(III) {η 5-C 5Me 4R} Complexes with Variable R Groups. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22147422.

Abstract
Piano-stool iridium complexes based on the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp*) have been intensively investigated as anticancer drug candidates and hold much promise in this setting. A systematic study aimed at outlining the effect of Cp* mono-derivatization on the antiproliferative activity is presented here. Thus, the dinuclear complexes [Ir(η5-C5Me4R)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 (R = Me, 1a; R = H, 1b; R = Pr, 1c; R = 4-C6H4F, 1d; R = 4-C6H4OH, 1e), their 2-phenylpyridyl mononuclear derivatives [Ir(η5-C5Me4R)(kN,kCPhPy)Cl] (2a-d), and the dimethylsulfoxide complex [Ir{η5-C5Me4(4-C6H4OH)}Cl2(κS-Me2S=O)] (3) were synthesized, structurally characterized, and assessed for their cytotoxicity towards a panel of six human and rodent cancer cell lines (mouse melanoma, B16; rat glioma, C6; breast adenocarcinoma, MCF-7; colorectal carcinoma, SW620 and HCT116; ovarian carcinoma, A2780) and one primary, human fetal lung fibroblast cell line (MRC5). Complexes 2b (R = H) and 2d (4-C6H4F) emerged as the most active ones and were selected for further investigation. They did not affect the viability of primary mouse peritoneal cells, and their tumoricidal action arises from the combined influence on cellular proliferation, apoptosis and senescence. The latter is triggered by mitochondrial failure and production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.
