Synthesis, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of RhIII and IrIII β-Diketonato Piano-Stool Compounds

摘要

A series of Rh~(III) and Ir~(III) half-sandwich compounds of the type [(η~(5)-Cp*~(R))M(β-diketonato)Cl] were synthesized and characterized, including 17 X-ray crystallographic structures. In general, the complexes were synthesized in short reaction times and in good yield. The antimicrobial properties of these complexes were tested against a variety of microbes, and several complexes were found to have good activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis .
