Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is currently regarded as a promising method for the treatment of oncological diseases. However, it involves a number of limitations related to the specific features of the method and the specific characteristics of photosensitizer molecules, including tumor hypoxia, small depth of light penetration into the tumor tissue, and low accumulation sensitivity. These drawbacks can be overcome by combining PDT with other treatment methods, for example, chemotherapy. In this work, we were the first to obtain agents that contain bacteriopurpurinimide as a photodynamic subunit and complexes of gold(I) that implement the chemotherapy effect. To bind the latter agents, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) based on histidine and histamine were obtained. We considered alternative techniques for synthesizing the target conjugates and selected an optimal one that enabled the production of preparative amounts for biological assays. In vitro studies showed that all the compounds obtained exhibited high photoinduced activity. The C-donor Au(I) complexes exhibited the maximum specific activity at longer incubation times compared to the other derivatives, both under exposure to light and without irradiation. In in vivo studies, the presence of histamine in the NHC-derivative of dipropoxy-BPI (7b) had no significant effect on its antitumor action, whereas the Au(I) metal complex of histamine NHC-derivative with BPI (8b) resulted in enhanced antitumor activity and in an increased number of remissions after photodynamic treatment.

Abstract
We have synthesized a new series of azolium cyclophanes and used them as precursors of inherently luminescent dinuclear Au(i)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. The azolium cyclophanes contained two azolium groups (either imidazolium or benzimidazolium), an o-xylyl group, and an alkyl linker chain (either C2, C3 or C4). All of the azolium cyclophanes were characterised by X-ray diffraction studies and VT NMR studies, and all were fluxional in solution on the NMR timescale. The C3- and C4-linked azolium cyclophanes served as precursors of Au2L2(2+) complexes (L is a cyclophane bis(NHC) ligand). Due to the unsymmetrical nature of the azolium cyclophanes, the Au2L2(2+) complexes each existed as cis and trans isomers. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the Au2L2(2+) complexes had short intramolecular AuAu distances, in the range 2.9-3.3 Å, suggestive of an aurophilic attraction, presumably as a consequence of the geometrical constraints imposed by the cyclophane bis(NHC) ligands. The complexes having the shortest AuAu distances (i.e., those based on C3-linked cyclophanes) exhibited intense luminescence in solution. The uptake of one of the dinuclear Au-NHC complexes by tumorigenic cells, and its subsequent distribution and toxicity in the cells, was monitored by luminescence microscopy over 6 h and proliferation measurements, respectively.

Abstract
Nickel(II) complexes of bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/phosphane ligand L were prepared and structurally characterized. Unlike palladium, which forms [PdCl(2)(L)], the stable nickel product isolated is the ionic [Ni(L)(2)]Cl(2). These Ni(II) complexes are highly robust in air. Among different N-substituents on the ligand framework, the nickel complex of ligand L bearing N-1-naphthylmethyl groups (2 a) is a highly effective catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling between phenylboronic acid and a range of aryl halides, including unreactive aryl chlorides. The activities of 2 a are largely superior to those of other reported nickel NHC complexes and their palladium counterparts. Unlike the previously reported [NiCl(2)(dppe)] (dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), 2 a can effectively catalyze the cross-coupling reaction without the need for a catalytic amount of PPh(3), and this suggests that the PPh(2) functionality of hybrid NHC ligand L can partially take on the role of free PPh(3). However, for unreactive aryl chlorides at low catalyst loading, the presence of PPh(3) accelerates the reaction.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of several new silver complexes of L (L = a bidendate ligand of pyrazole and N-heterocyclic carbene) are described. The result shows that the choice of counterions, N-substitutions of L, and reaction conditions are crucial which lead to a variety of structural motifs, including novel metallomacrocycles [Ag2(mu-L)2]2+ with or without Ag...Ag close contact, a mononuclear [AgL2]+ complex, and a [LAg(NO3)]n coordination polymer. In particular, the nonbonding Ag...Ag distance and the overall geometry of the metallomacrocycles are controllable with different N-substitutions and counterions. All these complexes have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The solid-state aggregates are retained in solution as supported by the electrospray mass spectroscopic studies.
