To provide precedents for the possible interactions of platinum DNA adducts with zinc finger proteins, the complexes [Pt(dien)Cl]Cl (dien = diethylenetriamine) and [Pt(terpy)Cl]Cl (terpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine) were exposed to the N,N′-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptanezinc(II) dimer, [Zn(bme-dach)]2, and the products defined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI−MS), X-ray crystallography and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy. The presence of a leaving chloride in both platinum(II) complexes facilitates electrophilic substitution involving sulfur-containing zinc finger synthetic models or, as in previous studies, zinc finger peptidic sequences. Monitored via ESI−MS, both reactants yielded evidence for Zn−(μ-SR)−Pt bridges followed by zinc ejection from the N2S2 coordination sphere and subsequent formation of a trimetallic Zn−(μ-SR)2−Pt−(μ-SR)2−Zn-bridged species. The isolation of Zn−(μ-SR)−Pt-bridged species [(Zn(bme-dach)Cl)(Pt(dien))]Cl is, to our knowledge, the first Zn−Pt bimetallic thiolate-bridged model demonstrating the interaction between Zn-bound thiolates and Pt2+. In the case of the [Pt(terpy)Cl]Cl reaction with the [Zn(bme-dach)]2, ESI−MS analysis further suggests metal exchange by formation of [Zn(terpy)Cl]+, whereas the [Pt(dien)Cl]Cl reaction does not yield the corresponding [Zn(dien)Cl]+ ion. Direct synthesis of the Zn−Pt thiolate-bridged species and the Pt(N2S2) chelate, where Pt has displaced the Zn from the chelate core, permitted the isolation of X-ray-quality crystals to confirm the bridging and metal-exchanged structures. The ESI−MS, 195Pt NMR spectroscopy, and molecular structures of the di- and trinuclear complexes will be discussed, as they provide insight into the metal-exchange mechanism.

In 2024, China's zinc mines produced approximately **** million metric tons of zinc. Accordingly, China is the world's largest producer of the base metal zinc. Peru and Australia were the second- and third-largest zinc mining countries in the world in 2024, respectively. What is zinc used for? Zinc has a variety of end-uses, but the most common application is galvanizing, where zinc is applied to iron or steel as a protective coating. In the coming decade, the demand for zinc in renewable energy applications is forecast to increase. For example, zinc is used for corrosion protection in structural components of solar panels and wind turbines. In addition, zinc is required for the production of certain battery types. Rising zinc prices The consumption of refined zinc has steadily risen over the past two decades. In turn, the price of zinc in various marketplaces has increased overall in recent years. In 2024, the price of zinc in North America stood at **** U.S. dollars per pound, while zinc prices on the London Metal Exchange reached **** U.S. dollars per pound in 2024.

The present work disclosed a zinc(II)–sodium acetate complex (C32H48O34Na8Zn4, C-1), in which weakly bound sodium (Na) has been utilized for selective metal exchange with guest metals (CuII and AgI) for the synthesis of Cu/Ag/Au-loaded ZnO. The morphology, growth, and band gap of the materials are found to be highly dependent upon their metal-exchange capacity. The presence of Cu/Ag/Au with ZnO improves the spectral response and effectively suppresses the hole–electron pair recombination process to facilitate efficient H2O2 production from water and oxygen under visible light, and thus the compound was utilized as an efficient reusable photocatalyst for the degradation and complete remediation of various toxic phenols and dyes into CO2, NO3–, and SO42– in water.

Two series of zinc triad complexes containing the ligand 2,6-bis(methylthiomethyl)pyridine (L1) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography and solution-state 1H NMR spectroscopy. The distorted meridional octahedral M(L1)2(ClO4)2 series includes the first structurally characterized Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with N2(SR2)4 coordination spheres. Coordination of HgCl2 and ZnCl2 with 1 equiv of ligand afforded mononuclear, five-coordinate species Hg(L1)Cl2 and Zn(L1)Cl2, respectively, with distorted square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal geometries. With CdCl2, the dimeric [Cd(L1)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 complex was obtained. The distorted octahedral coordination geometry of each Cd(II) center in this complex is formed by one tridentate ligand, two bridging chloride ions, and one terminal chloride ion. NMR spectra indicate that the intermolecular ligand-exchange rate of [M(L1)2]2+ decreased in the order Cd(II) > Zn(II) > Hg(II). Slow intermolecular ligand-exchange conditions on the chemical-shift time scale were found for 1:2 metal-to-ligand complexes of L1 with Hg(II) and Zn(II) but not Cd(II). Slow intermolecular ligand-exchange conditions in acetonitrile-d3 solutions permitting detection of 3-5J(199Hg1H) were found for 1:1 and 1:2 Hg(ClO4)2/L1 complexes, but not for the related Cd(ClO4)2 complexes. The magnitudes of J(199Hg1H) for equivalent protons were smaller in [Hg(L1)2]2+ than in [Hg(L1)(NCCH3)x]2+. The relative intermolecular ligand-exchange rates of the zinc triad complexes investigated here suggest that the toxicity of Hg(II) is accentuated by the relative difficulty of displacing it from the coordination sites encountered.

We report the synthesis and isolation of three new σ-complexes of Cu(I) in which E–H (E = Al, Zn) σ-bonds are coordinated to copper. The addition of the main group hydride to a toluene-solvated Cu(I) complex results in reversible ligand exchange, and the Cu(I) σ-complexes have been crystallized. Experimental and computational data provide a wealth of evidence for weak binding of the E–H bond to Cu(I), which can be ascribed to σ-donation from the E–H bond into the 4s orbital of copper and back-donation from copper into the E–H σ* orbital.
