Abstract
Streptolysin O (SLO), archetype of a cholesterol-binding bacterial cytolysin, forms large pores in the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. We have recently reported that when a limited number of pores are generated in a cell, they can be sealed in a Ca++-dependent process. Here, we show that resealing is followed by the release of IL-6 and IL-8 from keratinocytes and from endothelial cells, both relevant targets for SLO attack. Production of cytokines by these cells was preceded by activation of transcription factor nuclear factor kappaB, which thus emerges as a common denominator of stress responses to various pore-forming agents, including alpha-toxin of Staphylococcus aureus and complement. Furthermore, we show that activation and cytokine release in response to an agent that forms a pore in the plasma membrane do not depend on paracrine effects, because supernatants of cells perforated by SLO did not activate bystander cells. The study provides definitive evidence that a transient transmembrane pore suffices to trigger productive transcriptional activation in a target cell.

Abstract
Three ruthenium sulfide clusters with labile CH3CN ligands have been photochemically synthesized. Irradiation of [(cymene)3Ru3S2](PF6)2 ([1](PF6)2) in CH3CN gives [(cymene)2(CH3CN)3Ru3S2](PF6)2 ([2](PF6)2), which has been characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, and chemical reactivity. Treatment of [2](PF6)2 with PPh3 gives [(cymene)2(CH3CN)2(PPh3)Ru3S2](PF6)2 ([3](PF6)2) and [(cymene)2(CH3CN)(PPh3)2Ru3S2](PF6)2 ([4](PF6)2), while treatment with 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (9S3) gives [(cymene)2(9S3)Ru3S2](PF6)2 ([5](PF6)2). A crystallographic study demonstrated that the Ru3 core in [3](PF6)2, [4](PF6)2, and [5](PF6)2 is distorted with a pair of elongated Ru-Ru bonds. Cyclic voltammetry shows that [3](PF6)2 and [4](PF6)2 undergo two closely spaced reversible one-electron reductions whereas [5](PF6)2 undergoes one irreversible one-electron reduction and one reversible one-electron reduction. Prolonged irradiation of [1](PF6)2 in CH3CN causes decomposition, resulting in the pentanuclear cluster [(cymene)4Ru5S4](PF6)2 ([6](PF6)2).

Abstract
The optical properties and electronic structure of a homologous series of CdSe cluster molecules covering a size range between 0.7 and 2 nm are investigated. CdSe cluster molecules with 4, 8 10, 17, and 32 Cd atoms, capped by selenophenol ligands, were crystallized from solution and their structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cluster molecules are composed of a combination of adamanthane and barylene-like cages, the building blocks of the zinc blende and the wurtzite structures of the bulk CdSe. The onset of the room temperature absorption and low-temperature photoluminescence excitation spectra exhibit a systematic blue shift with reduced cluster size manifesting the quantum confinement effect down to the molecular limit of the bulk semiconductor. Blue-green emission, shifted substantially to lower energy from the absorption onset, is observed only at low temperature and its position is nearly independent of cluster size. The wavelength dependence of both photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation was measured. The emission is assigned to forbidden transitions involving the cluster-molecule surface-capping ligands. This assignment is supported by the emission decay which exhibits distributed kinetics with microsecond time scale. The temperature dependence of the emission intensity is quantitatively explained by multiphonon-induced nonradiative relaxation mediated by low-frequency vibrations of the selenophenol capping ligands. Upon irradiation, the emission of all cluster molecules is quenched. Warming up and recooling leads to recovery of the emission (partial or complete) for all but the cluster molecule with 10 Cd atoms. This temporary darkening is assigned to the photoinduced charging of the cluster-molecule surface ligands, resembling the reversible on-off blinking of the emission observed for larger CdSe nanocrystals.

Abstract
Coordination of the pentatopic ligand 3 with AgI leads to the simultaneous self-assembly of two polynuclear architectures: a [4 x 5] grid-type species 10 and a quadruple-helicate 11, which contain twenty and ten silver ions. respectively. Their structures have been established by X-ray diffraction analysis of the crystals obtained as a mixture on crystallisation. Complex 10 contains two [2 x 5]-AgI10 rectangular subgrids located on opposite sides of an array of parallel ligands of 3 that are twisted into a transoid N=C-C=N arrangement around the central C-C bond; it may thus be formulated as a grid of grids: [2 x (2 x 5)]. Complex 11 is an inorganic quadruple helicate that consists of two sets of two parallel ligands of 3 connected by an array of ten silver ions. Both compounds 10 and 11 are novel types of polynuclear complexes that are composed of two subunits. Their formation points to the possibility of generating specific arrays of metal ions by self-assembly, involving, in particular, a combination of subunits within the overall entity. They represent organised patterns of ion dots of special significance in view of their formal relationship to quantum dots.

Abstract
Metallostars are complexes in which a single branching site bears a number of metallated arms. Although they are related to metallodendrimers, they have the advantage of being capable of extending in an unlimited sense; in contrast to metallodendrimers, steric interactions decrease with increasing generation number. In this paper a series of polyalkyne stars with four and six arms, based upon a single tetrahedral carbon core and a benzene core, respectively, are reported and their reactions with [Co2(CO)8] to give metallostars that contain multiple [C2Co2(CO)6] motifs are described.

Abstract
The synthesis and X-ray structures of three metal complexes with terpyridine-derived ligands that contain amino-pyrimidine and amino-pyrazine moieties are presented. They have been designed in view of directing their self-assembly into specific supramolecular arrays through molecular recognition interactions. The solid-state structures indeed reveal extensive hydrogen-bonded networks. The Co complex 4a with PF6- counterions builds a two-dimensional infinite interwoven grid through strong double hydrogen bonds (d(N-H-N) =2.918-3.018 A) between the amino groups and the N atoms of the rings, with all H-bonding sites saturated. Changing the anions to BF4- in 4b leads to a similar infinite but partially broken grid with a quarter of the H-bonding sites unsaturated (d(N-H-N)=2.984-3.206 A). In the case of the Zn complex 12 with triflate anions, half of the hydrogen bonds are formed. Only one of the two orthogonal ligands has hydrogen bonds (d(N-H-N) = 3.082, 3.096 A) to the neighbouring complexes and thus builds linear, supramolecular, polymeric chains. These structural differences are mainly attributed to crystal-packing effects caused by the different anions. The data presented here may also be regarded as a prototype for the generation of organised arrays through sequential self-assembly processes.

Abstract
Ligand 3 has been shown to self-assemble under coordination of copper(II) cations in a 1:1 ratio in acetonitrile to give equilibrating mixtures of a [2 x 2] grid-type tetranuclear structure 1 and a hexanuclear achitecture of hexagonal shape 2. The latter was confirmed by determination of the crystal structure which further indicated that 2 contained acetonitrile molecules and hydroxo groups bound to the copper(II) centers, which are therefore five-coordinate. The structures assigned to 1 and 2 were further supported by the spectral (mass, UV/Vis) data. The self-assembly process is strongly dependent on the conditions of the medium. An increase in concentration in acetronitrile increases the relative amount of hexamer 2, which appears to be the favored entity at the highest concentrations that can be reached before precipitation occurs. On the other hand, in nitromethane only the tetranuclear complex 1 was detected by mass spectrometry. Replacement of nitromethane by acetonitrile and vice versa indicated the reversible switching between a solution containing either 1 alone or an equilibrium mixture of 1 and 2, respectively. In conclusion, the system described presents several remarkable features: 1) self-assembly with substrate binding, 2) dynamic combinatorial structure generation, and 3) environment-induced structural switching amounting in effect to a process of adaptive self-assembly.

Abstract
The multisubunit ligand 2 combines two complexation substructures known to undergo, with specific metal ions, distinct self-assembly processes to form a double-helical and a grid-type structure, respectively. The binding information contained in this molecular strand may be expected to generate, in a strictly predetermined and univocal fashion, two different, well-defined output inorganic architectures depending on the set of metal ions, that is, on the coordination algorithm used. Indeed, as predicted, the self-assembly of 2 with eight CuII and four CuI yields the intertwined structure D1. It results from a crossover of the two assembly subprograms and has been fully characterized by crystal structure determination. On the other hand, when the instructions of strand 2 are read out with a set of eight CuI and four MII (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) ions, the architectures C1-C4, resulting from a linear combination of the two subprograms, are obtained, as indicated by the available physico-chemical and spectral data. Redox interconversion of D1 and C4 has been achieved. These results indicate that the same molecular information may yield different output structures depending on how it is processed, that is, depending on the interactional (coordination) algorithm used to read it. They have wide implications for the design and implementation of programmed chemical systems, pointing towards multiprocessing capacity, in a one code/ several outputs scheme, of potential significance for molecular computation processes and possibly even with respect to information processing in biology.

Abstract
The silylated derivative of thiophosphoric acid (S)P(SSiMe3)3 is used as a convenient starting compound for the synthesis of multinuclear Cu and Au cluster complexes. (S)P(SSiMe3)3 reacts with CuCI/PPh3 and [AuCClPPh3] to give the following compounds: [Cu4(P2S6)(PPh3)4] (1), [Cu6(P2S6)Cl2-(PPh3)6] (2) and [Au4(P2S6)(PPh3)4](3). According to X-ray structure determination, these compounds contain P2S6(4-) ions, in which S atoms act as ligands for Cu+ and Au+ ions. Although 1 and 3 have the same stoichiometry, bonding of the metal ions to the P2S6 skeleton displays small but remarkable differences. Au is twofold coordinated, whereas Cu shows a threefold coordination. Ab initio calculations have been carried out to rationalise these structural differences. The theoretical treatment of the corresponding Ag compound indicates the latter to be less stable.

Abstract
Cu(II) ions have been reacted with a 1/1 mixture of two linear ligands, one containing three 2,2'- bipyridine groups and the other three 2,2':6',2"-terpyridine groups. Absorption spectroscopy and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry indicate the formation of a trinuclear complex containing one ligand of each kind. Determination of the crystal structure of this compound has confirmed that it is indeed a linear trinuclear complex in which two different ligands are wrapped in a helical fashion around the pentacoordinated metal ions. The central coordination geometry is trigonal bipyramidal; the two lateral Cu(II) ions are in a square pyramidal environment. Thus, a heteroduplex helicate is formed by the self-assembly of two different ligand strands and three specific metal ions induced by the coordination number and geometry of the latter. The self-assembly process may be considered to result from the reading of the steric and binding information present in the two ligands by Cu(II) ions through a pentacoordination algorithm. The same ligands have been shown earlier to yield homoduplex helicates from ions of tetrahedral and octahedral coordination geometry and strands of bidentate bipyridines and tridentate terpyridines, respectively. These two types of artificial double helical species may be related on one hand to the natural homoduplex nucleic acids and on the other hand to the DNA:RNA heteroduplex.
