Dipyrrin has proven to be a versatile ligand platform for metals across the periodic table. Since much of the coordination chemistry has focused on transition metals, main-group dipyrrin chemistry has been underexplored, particularly in the case of heavy p-block elements. Boron dipyrrin complexes (also known as BODIPY) were initially reported in 1968, yet the first well-characterized example of a heavy p-block dipyrrin complex was in 2006. This nascent area of research has undergone a significant surge, where nearly half of the reports in this field have been published since 2019. Given this renewed interest and rapid development, we provide a focused review on heavy p-block dipyrrin complexes, describing the synthesis, structure, and spectroscopy of these molecules. One significant aspect of these complexes is their optical properties, which access red and near-infrared wavelengths with high quantum yields. While these main-group dipyrrins have been used as catalysts, they have also been leveraged for a variety of biological applications including photodynamic therapy, tumor imaging, and cytotoxic drugs. With the advent of synthetic methods for these novel p-block complexes, dipyrrins can begin to interface with recent advances and applications of main-group chemistry, potentially offering advantages over other ligand platforms.

Bis-rhodium-mu-chlorido dinuclear complexes with natural occurring limonene-type enantiomeric diene nucleophiles, (S)- and (R)-carvone [SCar and RCar], are presented and their single crystal structures reported. Utilizing the diolefinic bonds of the carvones, mu-[RhI(SCar)Cl]2 (IA/B) and mu-[RhI(RCar)Cl]2 (IIA/B) were obtained in ca. 80% yields in clean reactions with reactant RhCl3(H2O)x. The "structured" chiral nanomaterials (IA/B and IIA/B>1.1 nm) crystallize as two independent, dinuclear chiral molecules Syn-mu-[RhI(SCar)Cl]2 (IA), Anti-mu-[RhI(SCar)Cl]2 (IB), and Syn-mu-[RhI(RCar)Cl]2 (IIA, Anti-mu-[RhI(RCar)Cl]2 (IIB), respectively (based on the relative orientation of the carvone ring, oxo and methyl groups). Principal differences between the IA/IIAvsIB/IIB complexes in the solid state include the relative orientation of the two carvones, inducing a significant distortion in the µ2-Rh2Cl2 core, with the dihedral angles of 49.7(1)°/49.73(6)° in IA/IIA (Syn-mu geometry), versus 23.8(1)°/24.00(6)° in IB/IIB (Anti-mu geometry), respectively. The presence of the two structurally independent complexes in the solid state is also inferred from 1H NMR spectra.

The metal binding properties of macrocyclic small molecules is a key property that drives what applications for which these ligands can be used. Pyridine modified Py2N2 pyridinophane small molecules are a new class of macrocyclic small molecules, whose properties have not been explored. As a result, Zn(II) metal binding of a library of six pyridine modified Py2N2 complexes are reported here. These results include 1H NMR, log βZn(II), and X-ray diffraction, which are compared to PyN3 congeners to show that the differences in each scaffold yield markedly different metal binding properties that can be exploited in future applications.
