Molybdenum(0) and coordination complexes are described. Methods for depositing molybdenum-containing films on a substrate are described. The substrate is exposed to a molybdenum precursor and a reactant to form the molybdenum-containing film (e.g., elemental molybdenum, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum carbide, molybdenum silicide, molybdenum disulfide, molybdenum nitride). The exposures can be sequential or simultaneous.

Novel phosphorescent OLED emitters based on metal complexes with indolizine-derived heterocycles as ligands are disclosed. Structural variations of the ligands provide access to a variety of green, yellow and red emitters.

Novel dinuclear silver(I) pyrazolido complexes and methods of synthesizing them are provided. Advantageously, the novel silver(I) pyrazolido complexes have excellent antimicrobial activity and methods of using said complexes to treat bacterial, fungal, and viral infections are also provided.

In one aspect, phosphine compounds comprising three adamantyl moieties (PAd.sub.3) and associated synthetic routes are described herein. Each adamantyl moiety may be the same or different. For example, each adamantyl moiety (Ad) attached to the phosphorus atom can be independently selected from the group consisting of adamantane, diamantane, triamantane and derivatives thereof. Transition metal complexes comprising PAd.sub.3 ligands are also provided for catalytic synthesis including catalytic cross-coupling reactions.

The presently-disclosed subject matter includes a multi-coordinate gold-phosphine compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Platinum complexes having benzyl-based diphosphine ligands for the catalysis of the alkoxycarbonylation of ethylenically unsaturated compounds.

The present invention relates to the design and synthesis of a class of novel chiral phosphine ligand, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinoalkylamido)-1,2-disubstituted ethane, and use in asymmetric catalytic reactions, such as asymmetric catalytic synthesis of pyrazoline-5-one with a chiral quaternary carbon center, i.e., highly enantioselective synthesis of 3-methyl-4-benzyl-4-(2-butyl-2,3-butadienyl)pyrazoline-5-one by using 3-methyl-4-benzylpyrazoline-5-one and benzyl (2-butyl-2,3-butadienyl) carbonate with tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium-chloroform adduct and this novel ligand as catalysts. The ligand designed by this present invention has the following advantages: the structure is novel, the synthesis and enlarge are simple, the enantioselective control effect in the practical reaction is excellent, which has a broad application prospect in chiral catalysis.

Molybdenum(0) coordination complexes comprising ligands which each coordinate to the metal center by nitrogen or phosphorous are described. Methods for depositing molybdenum-containing films on a substrate are described. The substrate is exposed to a molybdenum precursor and a reactant to form the molybdenum-containing film (e.g., elemental molybdenum, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum carbide, molybdenum silicide, molybdenum nitride). The exposures can be sequential or simultaneous.

Disclosed herein are mono- and di-substituted tetrazines and methods of their preparation and converting an oxetanyl ester to a thio-substituted tetrazine, which is then converted to a mono-substituted tetrazine, a di-substituted tetrazine, or a vinylether disubstituted tetrazine.
