Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a tris(alkyne) ligand, tris[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl-4-tert-butylbenzyl]amine (1), and its silver(I) hexafluorophosphate complex, 1-Ag, are reported. The solid-state structure and luminescence properties of 1-Ag indicate relatively strong silver(I)-alkyne interactions between the metal cation and 1. No significant changes in the bond angles or lengths were observed upon metalation of 1 with Ag+, indicating a relatively unstrained ligand-metal motif. The luminescence properties of 1 and 1-Ag are also disclosed, showing attenuation in the luminescence intensity upon Ag+ metalation, with Stokes shifts of ∼3700 and ∼3200 cm-1 for 1 and 1-Ag, respectively. The lifetimes of 1-Ag (τ1 = 8.383 ± 0.053 ns and τ2 = 4.665 ± 0.061 ns) were longer than those of 1 (τ1 = 6.708 ± 0.085 ns and τ2 = 3.689 ± 0.025 ns), possibly indicating multiple conformers of 1-Ag in solution. This new silver alkyne platform has potential applications in studies of catalysis, luminescent compounds, and sensing.

Abstract
Using single-crystal to single-crystal solid/gas reactivity the gold(I) acetylene complex [Au(L1)(η2-HC≡CH)][BArF 4] is cleanly synthesized by addition of acetylene gas to single crystals of [Au(L1)(CO)][BArF 4] [L1=tris-2-(4,4'-di-tert-butylbiphenyl)phosphine, ArF=3,5-(CF3)2C6H3]. This simplest gold-alkyne complex has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy and periodic DFT. Bonding of HC≡CH with [Au(L1)]+ comprises both σ-donation and π-backdonation with additional dispersion interactions within the cavity-shaped phosphine.

Abstract
A salt metathesis synthetic strategy is used to access rare tantalum/coinage metal (Cu, Ag, Au) heterobimetallic complexes. Specifically, complex [Li(THF)2][Ta(CtBu)(CH2tBu)3], 1, reacts with (IPr)MCl (M = Cu, Ag, Au, IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) to afford the alkylidyne-bridged species [Ta(CH2tBu)3(μ-CtBu)M(IPr)] 2-M. Interestingly, π-bonding of group 11 metals to the Ta─C moiety promotes a rare alkylidyne alkyl to bis-alkylidene tautomerism, in which compounds 2-M are in equilibrium with [Ta(CHtBu)(CH2tBu)2(μ-CHtBu)M(IPr)] 3-M. This equilibrium was studied in detail using NMR spectroscopy and computational studies. This reveals that the equilibrium position is strongly dependent on the nature of the coinage metal going down the group 11 triad, thus offering a new valuable avenue for controlling this phenomenon. Furthermore, we show that these uncommon bimetallic couples could open attractive opportunities for synergistic reactivity. We notably report an uncommon deoxygenative carbyne transfer to CO2 resulting in rare examples of coinage metal ketenyl species, (tBuCCO)M(IPr), 4-M (M = Cu, Ag, Au). In the case of the Ta/Li analogue 1, the bis(alkylidene) tautomer is not detected, and the reaction with CO2 does not cleanly yield ketenyl species, which highlights the pivotal role played by the coinage metal partner in controlling these unconventional reactions.

Abstract
The 2018 Farm Bill defines marijuana as Cannabis sativa L. or any derivative thereof that contains greater than 0.3% Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) on a dry weight basis. The main cannabinoids present in Cannabis sativa L., Δ9-THC and cannabidiol (CBD), are structural isomers that cannot be differentiated using direct mass spectrometry with soft ionization techniques alone. Due to the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, the differentiation of Δ9-THC and CBD is crucial within the seized drug community. This study explores the use of Ag-ligand ion complexation and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) for the differentiation of Δ9-THC and CBD using six different Ag complexes. Differences between the binding affinities of Δ9-THC and CBD for [Ag(PPh3)(OTf)]2 lead to the formation of unique product ions at m/z 421/423, m/z 353/355, and m/z 231 for CBD, enabling the differentiation of CBD from Δ9-THC. When applied to the analysis of known Δ9-THC:CBD mixture ratios, the developed [Ag(PPh3)(OTf)]2 ion complexation method was able to differentiate Δ9-THC-rich and CBD-rich samples based on the average abundance of the product ions at m/z 421/423. The developed approach was then applied to methanolic extracts of 20 authentic cannabis samples with known Δ9-THC and CBD compositions, resulting in a 95% correct classification rate. Even though the developed Ag-ligand ion complexation method was only demonstrated for the qualitative differentiation of Δ9-THC-rich and CBD-rich cannabis, this study establishes a foundation for the use of Ag-ligand ion complexation that is essential for future quantitative approaches.

Abstract
Phenanthroline-based ligands with bulky aryl groups flanking the metal binding pocket enabled the synthesis and detailed investigation of ethylene complexes of copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I), including structural data of [{2,9-bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline}M(C2H4)][SbF6] (M = Cu, Ag, Au), Additionally, a related copper(I)-ethylene complex with a highly fluorinated ligand is also reported. Gold(I) affects the ethylene moiety significantly as evident from the notable upfield coordination shifts of ethylene carbon signals in the NMR and lengthening of the ethylene CC bond length. Silver(I) forms the weakest bond with ethylene in this series of isoleptic, group 11 metal-ethylene complexes. Preliminary catalytic investigations underscore the potential of copper complexes, particularly those with weakly coordinating supporting ligands, as effective catalysts for C(sp3)-H functionalization through trifluoromethyl carbene insertion.

Abstract
Ligand-protected metal clusters possess hybrid properties that seamlessly combine an inorganic core with an organic ligand shell, imparting them exceptional chemical flexibility and unlocking remarkable application potential in diverse fields. Leveraging chemical flexibility to expand the library of available materials and stimulate the development of new functionalities is becoming an increasingly pressing requirement. This Review focuses on the origin of chemical flexibility from the structural analysis, including intra-cluster bonding, inter-cluster interactions, cluster-environments interactions, metal-to-ligand ratios, and thermodynamic effects. In the introduction, we briefly outline the development of metal clusters and explain the differences and commonalities of M(I)/M(I/0) coinage metal clusters. Additionally, we distinguish the bonding characteristics of metal atoms in the inorganic core, which give rise to their distinct chemical flexibility. Section 2 delves into the structural analysis, bonding categories, and thermodynamic theories related to metal clusters. In the following sections 3 to 7, we primarily elucidate the mechanisms that trigger chemical flexibility, the dynamic processes in transformation, the resultant alterations in structure, and the ensuing modifications in physical-chemical properties. Section 8 presents the notable applications that have emerged from utilizing metal clusters and their assemblies. Finally, in section 9, we discuss future challenges and opportunities within this area.

Abstract
Gold coordination chemistry and catalysis involving unsaturated hydrocarbons such as olefins have experienced a remarkable growth during the last few decades. Despite the importance, isolable and well-characterized molecules with ethylene, the simplest and the most widely produced olefin, on gold are still limited. This review aims to cover features of, and strategies utilized to stabilize, gold-ethylene complexes and their diverse use in chemical transformations and homogeneous catalytic processes. Isolable and well-authenticated gold-ethylene complexes are important not only for structural, spectroscopic, and bonding studies but also as models for likely intermediates in gold mediated reactions of alkenes and gold-alkene species observed in the gas phase. There has also been development on AuI/III catalytic cycles. Nitrogen based ligands have been the most widely utilized ligand supports thus far for the successful stabilization of gold-ethylene adducts. Gold has a bright future in olefin chemistry and with ethylene.

Abstract
The electron withdrawing and oxidatively stable perfluorinated Cp* ligand [C5(CF3)5]- allowed for the isolation of rare and unusually stable coinage metal complexes [M(C5(CF3)5)(PtBu3)] (M = Cu, Ag, Au), representing the first complete and structurally comparable series of group 11 Cp coordination compounds. Full characterization and structure analysis revealed distinct and partly unknown coordination motifs with hapticities ranging from η1, η3/η1 and η3/η2 for gold, silver and copper, respectively. Quantum-chemical studies using DFT methods confirm these findings and connect them to the unique electronic structure of the given ligand system.

Abstract
Solid-gas reactions and in situ powder X-ray diffraction investigations of trinuclear silver complexes {[3,4,5-(CF3)3Pz]Ag}3 and {[4-Br-3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Ag}3 supported by highly fluorinated pyrazolates reveal that they undergo intricate ethylene-triggered structural transformations in the solid-state producing dinuclear silver-ethylene adducts. Despite the complexity, the chemistry is reversible producing precursor trimers with the loss of ethylene. Less reactive {[3,5-(CF3)2Pz]Ag}3 under ethylene pressure and low-temperature conditions stops at an unusual silver-ethylene complex in the trinuclear state, which could serve as a model for intermediates likely present in more common trimer-dimer reorganizations described above. Complete structural data of three novel silver-ethylene complexes are presented together with a thorough computational analysis of the mechanism.

Abstract
Copper plays many important roles in ethylene chemistry, thus generating significant interest in understanding the structures, bonding, and properties of copper(I)-ethylene complexes. In this work, the ethylene binding characteristics of a series of isolable Cu(I)-ethylene compounds supported by a systematic set of fluorinated and nonfluorinated bis- and tris(pyrazolyl)borate and the related bis(pyrazolyl)methane ligands have been investigated. Through a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, we characterize their geometric and electronic structures and the role that fluorinated ligands play in lowering the electron density at Cu sites. Such ligands increase the ethylene-to-Cu σ-donor interaction and, correspondingly, decrease the Cu-to-ethylene π back-bonding. This latter interaction leads to a partial vacancy in the Cu 3d level, which manifests experimentally as a low-energy feature in the Cu K pre-edge, allowing for its direct observation and comparison within a series of Cu(I) compounds. The pre-edge feature is reproduced by TD-DFT calculations, and its energy position and total intensity are used to quantitatively probe Cu-ethylene bonding. The variations in the Cu electronic structure influence the stability and overall ethylene bonding strength of these compounds, ultimately showing how substituents on the supporting ligands have a notable effect on their physical and chemical properties.

Abstract
We report here "sandwich"-diimine copper complex-catalyzed trifluoroethylation and pentafluoropropylation of unactivated C(sp3 )-H bonds in alkyl esters, halides, and protected amines by employing CF3 CHN2 and CF3 CF2 CHN2 reagents. Reactions proceed in dichloromethane solvent at room temperature. Identical C-H functionalization conditions and stoichiometries are employed for generality and convenience. Selectivities for C-H insertions are higher for compounds possessing stronger electron-withdrawing substituents. Preliminary mechanistic studies point to a mechanism involving a pre-equilibrium forming a "sandwich"-diimine copper-CF3 CHN2 complex followed by rate-determining loss of nitrogen affording the reactive copper carbene. It reacts with trifluoromethyldiazomethane about 6.5 times faster than with 1-fluoroadamantane explaining the need for slow addition of the diazo compound.

Abstract
Bis- and tris-pyridyl borate ligands containing pyridyl donor arms, a methylated boron cap, and a fluorine-lined coordination pocket have been prepared and utilized in coinage metal chemistry. The tris(pyridyl)borate ligand has been synthesized using a convenient boron source, [NBu4][MeBF3]. These N-based ligands permitted the isolation of group 11 metal-ethylene complexes [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) and [Me2B(6-(CF3)Py)2]M(C2H4) (M = Cu, Ag, Au). The gold complexes display the largest coordination-induced upfield shifts of the ethylene 13C resonance relative to that of the free ethylene in their NMR spectra, while the silver complexes show the smallest shift. Solid-state structures of five of these metal-ethylene complexes as well as the related free ligands were established by X-ray crystallography. Surprisingly, all three [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) adopt the rare κ2 coordination mode rather than the typical κ3 coordination mode of facial capping tridentate ligands. Computational analyses indicate that κ2 coordination mode is favored over the κ3-mode in these coinage metal-ethylene complexes and point to the effects CF3-substituents have on κ2/κ3-energy difference. The M-C and M-N bond distances of [MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) follow the trend expected based on covalent radii of M(I) ions. The calculated ethylene-M interaction energy of κ2-[MeB(6-(CF3)Py)3]M(C2H4) indicated that the gold(I) forms the strongest interaction with ethylene. A comparison to the related poly(pyrazolyl)borates is also presented.

Pulsed laser irradiation induces the generation of alloy cluster ions for the screening of protease activity. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 216:114615. [PMID: 35973275 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.114615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Pulsed laser irradiation can cause the fragmentation of nanoparticles, which generates cluster ions. This allows nanoparticles to be adopted as mass tag/signal amplifiers in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) bioassays. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of using the signal from alloy cluster ions in bioassays through a fibrin clot model to determine the activity of thrombin. A mixed solution of silver and gold nanoparticles functionalized with fibrinogen (Fg‒Ag NPs/Fg‒Au NPs) treated with thrombin can form clots composed of aggregated fibrin-Au NPs/Ag NPs. These clots analyzed with LDI-MS are noted to form intense Ag-Au alloy cluster ions, especially [Ag2Au]+, which were used to detect thrombin concentration with a dynamic range of 2.5-50 pM in human plasma. This sensing platform was further employed for the screening of direct thrombin inhibitors. This work developed a novel bioassay utilizing metallic gas-phase reactions generated from pulsed laser irradiation of aggregated nanoparticles to monitor enzymatic activity and to screen inhibitors. We believe that LDS-MS can serve as a new platform for gas-phase reaction-based bioassays.

Abstract
Copper and silver play important roles in acetylene transformations but isolable molecules with acetylene bonded to Cu(i) and Ag(i) ions are scarce. This report describes the stabilization of π-acetylene complexes of such metal ions supported by fluorinated and non-fluorinated, pyrazole-based chelators. These Cu(i) and Ag(i) complexes were formed readily in solutions under an atmosphere of excess acetylene and the appropriate ligand supported metal precursor, and could be isolated as crystalline solids, enabling complete characterization using multiple tools including X-ray crystallography. Molecules that display κ2-or κ3-ligand coordination modes and trigonal planar or tetrahedral metal centers have been observed. Different trends in coordination shifts of the acetylenic carbon resonance were revealed by 13C NMR spectroscopy for the Cu(i) and Ag(i) complexes. The reduction in acetylene

C due to metal ion coordination is relatively large for copper adducts. Computational tools were also used to quantitatively understand in detail the bonding situation in these species. It is found that the interaction between the transition metal fragment and the acetylene ligand is significantly stronger in the copper complexes, which is consistent with the experimental findings. The CC distance of these copper and silver acetylene complexes resulting from routine X-ray models suffers due to incomplete deconvolution of thermal smearing and anisotropy of the electron density in acetylene, and is shorter than expected. A method to estimate the CC distance of these metal complexes based on their experimental CC is also presented. Gaseous acetylene can be trapped on copper(i) and silver(i) sites supported by pyrazole-based scorpionates to produce isolable molecules for detailed investigations and the study of metal-acetylene bonding.![]()
