For the mononuclear complex, the Ru−P (P <i>trans</i> to In) bond distance (2.4076(11) Å) is shorter than the Ru−P (P <i>trans</i> to CO) one (2.4227(11) Å). It is known that both InCl<sub>3</sub> and CO exhibit electron-withdrawing properties, but no comparison of their electron-withdrawing strengths has been reported. This result is the first to show that the InCl<sub>3</sub> ligand withdraws electron density from Ru more strongly than the CO ligand. In addition, the mononuclear Ru−In complexes exhibit catalytic activity for the double hydrosilylation of organonitriles. More information can be found in the Research Article by M.

The first Section presents some representative examples of surface isomerism involving inorganic (carbonyls and hydrides) and organic ligands, as well as isomerism due to ML fragments decorating the cluster surface. The second Section focuses on three major categories of core isomerism, that is: (1) isomers that mainly differ on M-M distances; (2) isomers displaying different structures of the metal kernels; (3) isomers possessing almost identical metal kernels and ligand shells, but differing for the positions of different types of metal atoms within the metal kernel. The third Section briefly discusses two related and very rare cases of isomerism, that is, polymerisation and coordination isomerism.

The key unit of the imidazolium backbone, planar chiral ortho-isopropyl ferrocenyl amine, was synthesized starting from (R)-Ugi's amine. Imidazolium was obtained through the sequential condensation of glyoxal with ferrocenyl amine, followed by the ring-closure of 1,3-diferrocenyldiimine with chloromethylethyl ether. Chiral imidazolylidene NHC (IFcPr) metal complexes were prepared by treating imidazolium with silver oxide or base followed by transmetalation with appropriate metal salts. The steric and electronic properties of the IFcPr ligand were assessed using %Vbur and TEP, respectively. These assessments indicated that the ligand was as bulky as the adamantyl NHC ligand and exhibited strong donor ability similar to that of a triazolylidene NHC ligand. The catalytic performance of the copper and palladium complexes was evaluated in the asymmetric borylation of ethyl cinnamate and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions, respectively. The IFcPr-Cu complex catalyzed the borylation of ethyl cinnamate with bis(pinacolato) diboron, followed by oxidation to yield the hydroxy ester with 58% yield and 30% ee.
