  1. Fourteen Ag( i ), Au( i ), Ni( ii ), Pd( ii ), and Pt( ii ) complexes with macrocyclic tetradentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were prepared via reactions between three macrocyclic tetrabenzimidazolium salts and metal precursors. All except two Au complexes were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Three different structures, including a trinuclear one containing a NHC–Ag–(H 2 O) moiety and a hexanuclear propeller-like supramolecular assembly, are found for Ag–NHC complexes. Nine complexes of group 10 metal ions adopt square-planar geometry, in which the different ring-sizes of the macrocyclic tetracarbene ligands lead to a variation of metal–carbene bond lengths. π–π stackings are observed between the rigid aromatic benzimidazole rings in the nickel group complexes.

  3. Abstract By attaching pyridine groups to a diaza[6]helicene, a helical, bis‐ditopic, bis‐N N‐coordinating ligand can be accessed. Dinuclear rhenium complexes featuring this bridging ligand, of the form [{Re(CO)3Cl}2(N N−N N)], have been prepared and resolved to give enantiopure complexes. These complexes are phosphorescent in solution at room temperature under one‐ and two‐photon excitation. Their experimental chiroptical properties (optical rotation, electronic circular dichroism and circularly polarized emission) have been measured. They show, for instance, emission dissymmetry factors of c.a. ±3x10−3. Quantum‐chemical calculations indicate the importance of stereochemistry on the optical activity, pointing towards further design improvements in such types of complexes.
