Abstract
Chemical etching of nano-sized metal clusters at the atomic level has a high potential for creating metal number-specific structures and functions that are difficult to achieve with bottom-up synthesis methods. In particular, precisely etching metal atoms one by one from nonmetallic element-centred metal clusters and elucidating the relationship between their well-defined structures, and chemical and physical properties will facilitate future materials design for metal clusters. Here we report the single-gold etching at a hypercarbon centre in gold(I) clusters. Specifically, C-centred hexagold(I) clusters protected by chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes are etched with bisphosphine to yield C-centred pentagold(I) (CAuI5) clusters. The CAuI5 clusters exhibit an unusually large bathochromic shift in luminescence, which is reproduced theoretically. The etching mechanism is experimentally and theoretically suggested to be a tandem dissociation-association-elimination pathway. Furthermore, the vacant site of the central carbon of the CAuI5 cluster can accommodate AuCl, allowing for post-functionalisation of the C-centred gold(I) clusters.

Abstract
ConspectusWe have learned over the past years how London dispersion forces can be effectively used to influence or even qualitatively tip the structure of aggregates and the conformation of single molecules. This happens despite the fact that single dispersion contacts are much weaker than competing polar forces. It is a classical case of strength by numbers, with the importance of London dispersion forces scaling with the system size. Knowledge about the tipping points, however difficult to attain, is necessary for a rational design of intermolecular forces. One requires a careful assessment of the competing interactions, either by sensitive spectroscopic techniques for the study of the isolated molecules and aggregates or by theoretical approaches. Of particular interest are the systems close to the tipping point, when dispersion interactions barely outweigh or approach the strength of the other interactions. Such subtle cases are important milestones for a scale-up to realistic multi-interaction situations encountered in the fields of life and materials science. In searching for examples that provide ideal competing interactions in complexes and small clusters, aromatic systems can offer a diverse set of molecules with a variation of dispersion and electrostatic forces that control the dominant and peripheral interactions. Our combined spectroscopic and theoretical investigations provide valuable insights into the balance of intermolecular forces because they typically allow us to switch the aromatic substituent on and off. High-resolution rotational spectroscopy serves as a benchmark for molecular structures, as correct calculations should be based on correct geometries. When discussing the competition with other noncovalent interactions, obvious competitors are directional hydrogen bonds. As a second counterweight to aryl interactions, we will discuss aurophilic/metallophilic interactions, which also have a strong stabilization with a small number of atoms involved. Vibrational spectroscopy is most sensitive to interactions of light atoms, and the competition of OH hydrogen bonds with dispersion forces in a molecular aggregate can be judged well by the OH stretching frequency. Experiments in the gas phase are ideal for gauging the accuracy of quantum chemical predictions free of solvent forces. A tight collaboration utilizing these three methods allows experiment vs experiment vs theory benchmarking of the overall influence of dispersion in molecular structures and energetics.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) toward value-added chemicals/fuels has offered a sustainable strategy to achieve a carbon-neutral energy cycle. However, it remains a great challenge to controllably and precisely regulate the coordination environment of active sites in catalysts for efficient generation of targeted products, especially the multicarbon (C2+) products. Herein we report the coordination environment engineering of metal centers in coordination polymers for efficient electroreduction of CO2 to C2+ products under neutral conditions. Significantly, the Cu coordination polymer with Cu-N2S2 coordination configuration (Cu-N-S) demonstrates superior Faradaic efficiencies of 61.2% and 82.2% for ethylene and C2+ products, respectively, compared to the selective formic acid generation on an analogous polymer with the Cu-I2S2 coordination mode (Cu-I-S). In situ studies reveal the balanced formation of atop and bridge *CO intermediates on Cu-N-S, promoting C-C coupling for C2+ production. Theoretical calculations suggest that coordination environment engineering can induce electronic modulations in Cu active sites, where the d-band center of Cu is upshifted in Cu-N-S with stronger selectivity to the C2+ products. Consequently, Cu-N-S displays a stronger reaction trend toward the generation of C2+ products, while Cu-I-S favors the formation of formic acid due to the suppression of C-C couplings for C2+ pathways with large energy barriers.

Abstract
The electronic structure, spectroscopic properties, and solid state chemistry of monomer and dimers of [AuPh(CNPh)] complex were studied at post-Hartree-Fock (MP2, SCS-MP2, and CC2) and density functional theory levels. The absorption spectra of these complexes were calculated using single excitation time-dependent (TD) methods at DFT, CC2, and SCS-CC2 levels. The influences of the bulk are accounted for at the PBE-D3 level, incorporating dispersion effects. The calculated values agree with the experimental range, where absorption and emission energies reproduce experimental trends with large Stokes shifts. The aurophilic interaction is identified as a key factor influencing the spectroscopic and structural properties of these complexes. The intermetallic interactions were found as the main factor responsible for MMCT electronic transitions in the models studied.

Abstract
Derivatization of (NHC)M-Cl (M = Ag, Au) with selected sulfur donors from the family of dialkyldithiophosphates and bis(2-mercapto-1-methylimidazolyl)borate ligands gave a series of heteroleptic mononuclear complexes. In single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, Ag(I) complexes adopted a trigonal planar geometry, while Au(I) complexes are near-linear. TD-DFT and hole-electron analyses of the selected complexes gave insight into the electronic features of the metal complexes. In vitro cellular tests were conducted on the human cancerous breast cell line MCF-7 using 2 and 8. The antibacterial activities of complexes 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, and IPr-Ag-Cl were also screened against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus PTCC 1112) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli PTCC 1330) bacteria. Antityrosinase and hemolytic effects of the selected compounds were also determined.

Abstract
We present an exhaustive exploration of the driving forces dominating the interaction between gold atoms in the trans-(AuX)2, where X is a halogen ligand. This work provides insights into the nature of the gold-gold contact in the trans-(AuX)2. The geometries and energies were calculated at the MP2, CCSD(T), and DFT-D3(BJ) (B3LYP, PBE, and TPSS) levels of theory. The results show a short Au-Au distance, typical of a covalent bond, but with a weak interaction energy associated with noncovalent interactions. It is established that the physical contributions from polarization and the electronic correlation forces are the most relevant at the post-Hartree-Fock level of theory. Also, the electrostatic term is attractive but with low contribution. Finally, the Wiberg indices and NBO analysis exposed a small covalent character between the gold atoms, revealing that this contribution is insufficient to explain the stability of the dimers. It is concluded that a sum of contributions makes it possible to establish an attraction between the gold atoms in the dimers studied beyond a classical aurophilic interaction.

Abstract
Metallophilic interactions were observed in four pairs of 12-membered metallamacrocyclic silver and gold complexes of imidazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), [1-(R1)-3-N-(2,6-di-(R2)-phenylacetamido)-imidazol-2-ylidene]2M2 [R1 = p-MeC6H4, R2 = Me, M = Ag (1b) and Au (1c); R1 = Me, R2 = i-Pr, M = Ag (2b) and Au (2c); R1 = Et, R2 = i-Pr, M = Ag (3b) and Au (3c)], and a 1,2,4-triazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), [1-(i-Pr)-4-N-(2,6-di-(i-Pr)-phenylacetamido)-1,2,4-triazol-2-ylidene]2M2 [M = Ag (4b) and Au (4c)]. The X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and computational studies indicate the presence of metallophilic interactions in these complexes, which are significantly influenced by the sterics and the electronics of the N-amido substituents of the NHC ligands. The argentophilic interaction in the silver 1b-4b complexes was stronger than the aurophilic interaction in the gold 1c-4c complexes, with the metallophilic interaction decreasing in the order 4b > 1b > 1c > 4c > 3b > 3c > 2b > 2c. The 1b-4b complexes were synthesized from the corresponding amido-functionalized imidazolium chloride 1a-3a and the 1,2,4-triazolium chloride 4a salts upon treatment with Ag2O. The reaction of 1b-4b complexes with (Me2S)AuCl gave the gold 1c-4c complexes.

Abstract
Carbones are divalent carbon(0) species that contain two lone pairs of electrons. Herein, we have prepared the first known stable and isolable free bis-(carbone) pincer framework with a well-defined solid-state structure. This bis-(carbone) ligand is an effective scaffold for forming monometallic (Ni and Pd) and trinuclear heterometallic complexes with Au-Pd-Au, Au-Ni-Au, and Cu-Ni-Cu configurations. Sophisticated quantum-theoretical analyses found that the metal-metal interactions are too weak to play a significant role in upholding these multi-metallic configurations; rather, the four lone pairs of electrons within the bis-(carbone) framework are the main contributors to the stability of the complexes.

Abstract
Gold, although chemically inert in its bulk state, is reactive at the nanoscale and, in small clusters, even behaves like a hydrogen atom. Using a photoelectron spectroscopy experiment and first-principles theory, we show that Au also behaves like a halogen in small clusters. This is evident not only in strong resemblance between the photoelectron spectra of Au2F- and AuF2- but also in Au exhibiting one of the signature properties of halogens, its ability to form superhalogens with electron affinities higher than that of any halogen atom. For example, the electron affinity (EA) of Au2F- is 4.17 eV, while AuF2-, a known superhalogen, has an EA of 4.47 eV. Of particular interest is Au2F2, which, in spite of being a closed-shell system, is a pseudohalogen with an EA of 3.3 ± 0.1 eV. Here, one of the Au atoms behaves like a halogen, making Au2F2 mimic the property of AuF3.

Abstract
Dinuclear gold(I) compounds are of great interest due to their aurophilic interactions that influence their photophysical properties. Herein, we showcase that gold-gold interactions can be influenced by tuning the electronic properties of the ligands. Therefore, various para substituted (R) N,N'-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)formamidinate ligands (pRXylForm; Xyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl and Form = formamidinate) were treated with Au(tht)Cl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) to give via salt metathesis the corresponding gold(I) compounds [pRXylForm2Au2] (R = -OMe, -Me, -Ph, -H, -SMe, and -CO2Me). All complexes showed intense luminescence properties at low temperatures. Alignment with the Hammett parameter σp revealed the trends in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra. These results showed the influence of the donor-acceptor abilities of different substituents on the ligand system which were confirmed with calculated orbital energies. Photophysical investigations showed their lifetimes in the millisecond range indicating phosphorescence processes and revealed a redshift with the decreasing donor ability of the substituents in the solid state.

Abstract
The electronic structure and spectroscopic properties of [AuCl(CNR)] and [AuCl(CO)] (R = -H, -CH3, -Cy) complexes with d10-d10 type interactions were studied at the post-Hartree-Fock (MP2, SCS-MP2, CCSD(T)) and density functional theory levels. It was found that the nature of the intermetal interactions is consistent with the presence of an electrostatic (dipole-dipole) contribution and a dispersion-type interaction. The absorption spectra of these complexes were calculated using the single excitation time-dependent (TD) method at the DFT and SCS-CC2 levels. The calculated values are in agreement with the experimental range, where the absorption and emission energies reproduce the experimental trends, with large Stokes shifts. According to this, intermetallic interactions were found to be mainly responsible for the metal-metal charge transfer (MMCT) electronic transitions among the models studied.

Abstract
Starting with 1,2-dibromobenzene and 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorobenzene, dimethyl(2-(trimethylstannyl)phenyl)phosphane, Me2P(o-C6H4)SnMe3, and dimethyl-[2,3,4,5-tetrafluoro-6-(trimethylstannyl)phenyl]phosphane, Me2P(o-C6F4)SnMe3, were synthesized and used in tin-gold exchange reactions to prepare two gold(I) dimers, bis[(2-dimethylphosphino)phenyl]di-gold(I), [Au2(μ-2-C6H4PMe2)2], and bis[(2-dimethylphosphino)-3,4,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl]di-gold(I), [Au2(μ-2-C6F4PMe2)2], respectively. Both tin precursor molecules, as well as the gold(I) complexes, were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, CHN analysis and X-ray diffraction experiments. Both gold(I) dimers were further investigated by the means of computational as well as photophysical methods.

Abstract
Crystallographic distances and the electron density of bi- and tri-nuclear gold(I) compounds reveal that the existence of multiple Au⋯Au interactions increases their individual strength in the order of 0.9-2.9 kcal mol-1. We observed this behaviour both experimentally and theoretically in multinuclear systems, confirming a novel important cooperative character in aurophilic contacts.

Abstract
The nature of closed-shell AuI···AuI attraction is still a conundrum in theoretical chemistry. However, for Au2F2 with a zigzag conformation, the d10-d10 closed-shell interaction between the AuF monomers is demonstrated as a coordinate covalent bond. Chemical bonding analysis reveals that the strong AuI···AuI attraction is caused by the participation of the extraordinary active 5d orbital of Au. Based on our study, one of the 5d orbitals of the Au atom is activated to hybridize with its 6s and 6p orbitals to form hybridized dsp2 orbitals, where each Au atom is both an electron donor (Lewis base) and acceptor (Lewis Acid) in dimerization. Actually, the closed-shell AuI···AuI interaction in the zigzag conformation of Au2X2 (X = F, Cl, Br, I, or NH2) is covalent. Our results provide a rather simple but clear-cut example, where mysterious AuI···AuI attractions can be possibly explained by the covalent bond theory.

Abstract
A mesoionic N-heterocyclic carbene-gold(I) complex with a unique Au⋯H-C(methine) intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction has been investigated in the solid state. The structure of this new neutral gold(I)-carbene was characterized by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy, TGA, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) and atoms-in-molecule (AIM) analysis revealed that the gold-hydrogen bonding situation is more favored. Besides, the photophysical properties of the gold(I) complex were also investigated.

Abstract
Combining phase-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements and quantum chemical calculations is a powerful approach to help understand the influence of the molecular surroundings on the PL properties. Herein, a phosphine functionalized amidinate was used to synthesize a recently presented bimetallic gold complex, featuring an unusual charge separation. The latter was subsequently used as metalloligand to yield heterotetrametallic complexes with an Au-M-M-Au "molecular wire" arrangement (M=Cu, Ag, Au) featuring metallophilic interactions. All compounds show bright phosphorescence in the solid state, also at ambient temperature. The effect of the molecular environment on the PL was studied in detail for these tetrametallic complexes by comparative measurements in solution, in the solid state and in the gas phase and contrasted to time-dependent density functional theory computations.

Abstract
A tetranuclear gold(i) complex [Au4(μ-PAnP)2(μ-L)2] (PAnP = 9,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)anthracene and L = benzene-1,2-dithiolate) has been synthesized and characterised by multinuclear NMR and X-ray crystallography. The molecule has a cyclophane-like structure which can be considered to be composed of two [Au2(μ-PAnP)(μ-L)] units held together by Au-S bonds and aurophilic interactions (Au-Au = 3.0712(2) Å). L acts as a chelating and bridging ligand with one of its S atoms bonded to two Au ions as sulfonium ions and there are two Au2S2 cores on each side of the cyclophane. A sulfur atom in each Au2S2 core is a chiral sulfonium ion, being bonded to two chemically distinct Au ions. Two Au ions are bonded to four atoms (2S, P and Au) in an asymmetric environment, making them a rare example of gold(i)-centred chirality. The two Au2S2 cores have RAu, RS and SAu, SS configurations, and the chiralities of the sulfonium ion and the gold ion are correlated. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy showed that the metallacyclophane undergoes rapid exchange in solution. A bond shift mechanism involving simultaneous cleavage and formation of Au-S bonds is proposed for the exchange.

Abstract
The synthesis of linear symmetric ethynyl- and acetylide-amidinates of the coinage metals is presented. Starting with the desilylation of the complexes [{Me3 SiC≡CC(NDipp)2 }2 M2 ] (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) (M=Cu, Au) it is demonstrated that this compound class is suitable to serve as a versatile metalloligand. Deprotonation with n-butyllithium and subsequent salt metathesis reactions yield symmetric tetranuclear gold(I) acetylide complexes of the form [{(PPh3 )AuC≡CC(NDipp)2 }2 M2 ] (M=Cu, Au). The corresponding Ag complex [{(PPh3 )AuC≡CC(NDipp)2 }2 Ag2 ] was obtained by a different route via metal rearrangement. All compounds show bright blue or blue-green microsecond long phosphorescence in the solid state, hence their photophysical properties were thoroughly investigated in a temperature range of 20-295 K. Emission quantum yields of up to 41 % at room temperature were determined. Furthermore, similar emissions with quantum yields of 15 % were observed for the two most brightly luminescent complexes in thf solution.

Abstract
This review covers the compound class of one-dimensional gold strings. These compounds feature a formally infinite repetition of gold complexes as monomers/repeating units that are held together by aurophilic interactions, i.e. direct gold-gold contacts. Their molecular structures are primarily determined in the solid state using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chemical composition of the employed gold complexes is diverse and furthermore plays a key role in terms of structure characteristics and the resulting properties. One of the most common features of gold strings is their photoluminescence upon UV excitation. The emission energy is often dependent on the distance of adjacent gold ions and the electronic structure of the whole string. In terms of gold strings, these parameters can be fine-tuned by external stimuli such as solvent, pH value, pressure or mechanical stress. This leads to direct structure-property correlations, not only with regard to the photophysical properties, but also electric conductivity for potential application in nanoelectronics. Concerning these correlations, gold strings, consisting of self-assembled individual complexes as building blocks, are the ideal compound class to look at, as perturbations by an inhomogeneity in the ligand sphere (such as the end of a molecule) can be neglected. Therefore, the aim of this review is to shed light on the past achievements and current developments in this area.

Abstract
Mixed-metal cyanides (Cu1/2Au1/2)CN, (Ag1/2Au1/2)CN, and (Cu1/3Ag1/3Au1/3)CN adopt an AuCN-type structure in which metal-cyanide chains pack on a hexagonal lattice with metal atoms arranged in sheets. The interactions between and within the metal-cyanide chains are investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, 13C solid-state NMR (SSNMR), and X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) measurements. Long-range metal and cyanide order is found within the chains: (-Cu-NC-Au-CN-)∞, (-Ag-NC-Au-CN-)∞, and (-Cu-NC-Ag-NC-Au-CN-)∞. Although Bragg diffraction studies establish that there is no long-range order between chains, X-ray PDF results show that there is local order between chains. In (Cu1/2Au1/2)CN and (Ag1/2Au1/2)CN, there is a preference for unlike metal atoms occurring as nearest neighbors within the metal sheets. A general mathematical proof shows that the maximum average number of heterometallic nearest-neighbor interactions on a hexagonal lattice with two types of metal atoms is four. Calculated energies of periodic structural models show that those with four unlike nearest neighbors are most favorable. Of these, models in space group Immm give the best fits to the X-ray PDF data out to 8 Å, providing good descriptions of the short- and medium-range structures. This result shows that interactions beyond those of nearest neighbors must be considered when determining the structures of these materials. Such interactions are also important in (Cu1/3Ag1/3Au1/3)CN, leading to the adoption of a structure in Pmm2 containing mixed Cu-Au and Ag-only sheets arranged to maximize the numbers of Cu···Au nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions.

Abstract
Among the d10 coinage metal complexes, cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) or trinuclear metallocycles with intratrimer metal-metal interactions are fascinating and important metal-organic or organometallic π-acids/bases. Each CTC of characteristic planar or near-planar trimetal nine-membered rings consists of Au(I)/Ag(I)/Cu(I) cations that linearly coordinate with N and/or C atoms in ditopic anionic bridging ligands. Since the first discovery of Au(I) CTC in the 1970s, research of CTCs has involved several fundamental areas, including noncovalent and metallophilic interaction, excimer/exciplex, acid-base chemistry, metalloaromaticity, supramolecular assemblies, and host/guest chemistry. These allow CTCs to be embraced in a wide range of innovative potential applications that include chemical sensing, semiconducting, gas and liquid adsorption/separation, catalysis, full-color display, and solid-state lighting. This review aims to provide a historic and comprehensive summary on CTCs and their extension to higher nuclearity complexes and coordination polymers from the perspectives of synthesis, structure, theoretical insight, and potential applications.

Abstract
We explore herein the supramolecular interactions that control the crystalline packing in a series of fluorothiolate triphenylphosphine gold(I) compounds with the general formula [Au(SRF)(Ph3P)] in which Ph3P = triphenylphosphine and SRF = SC6F5, SC6HF4-4, SC6F4(CF3)-4, SC6H3F2-2,4, SC6H3F2-3,4, SC6H3F2-3,5, SC6H4(CF3)-2, SC6H4F-2, SC6H4F-3, SC6H4F-4, SCF3, and SCH2CF3. We use for this purpose (i) DFT electronic structure calculations and (ii) the quantum theory of atoms in molecules and the non-covalent interactions index methods of wave function analyses. Our combined experimental and computational approach yields a general understanding of the effects of ligand fluorination in the crystalline self-assembly of the examined systems, in particular, about the relative force of aurophilic contacts compared with other supramolecular interactions. We expect this information to be useful in the design of materials based on gold coordination compounds.

Abstract
Metallophilicity is an essential concept that builds upon the attraction between closed shell metal ions. We report on the [M2 (bisNHC)2 ]2+ (M=AuI , AgI ; NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) systems, which display almost identical features in the solid state. However, in solution the Au2 cation exhibits a significantly higher degree of rigidity owed to the stronger character of the aurophilic interactions. Both Au2 and Ag2 cationic constructs are able to accommodate Ag+ ions via M-M interactions, despite their inherent Coulombic repulsion. When electrostatic repulsion between host and guest is partially diminished, M-M distances are substantially shortened. Quantum chemical calculations estimate intermetallic bond orders up to 0.2. Although at the limit of (or beyond) the van der Waals radii, metallophilic interactions are responsible for their behavior in solution.

Abstract
Diaurated intermediates of gold-catalysed reactions have been a long-standing subject of debate. Although diaurated complexes were regarded as a drain of active monoaurated intermediates in catalytic cycles, they were also identified as the products of gold-gold cooperation in dual-activation reactions. This study shows investigation of intermediates in water addition to alkynes catalysed by [(IPr)Au(CH3CN)(BF4)]. Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) allowed us to detect both monoaurated and diaurated complexes in this reaction. Infrared photodissociation spectra of the trapped complexes show that the structure of the intermediates corresponds to α-gold ketone intermediates protonated or aurated at the oxygen atom. Delayed reactant labelling experiments provided the half life of the intermediates in reaction of 1-phenylpropyne (∼7 min) and the kinetic isotope effects for hydrogen introduction to the carbon atom (KIE ∼ 4-6) and for the protodeauration (KIE ∼ 2). The results suggest that the ESI-MS detected monoaurated and diaurated complexes report on species with a very similar or the same kinetics in solution. Kinetic analysis of the overall reaction showed that the reaction rate is first-order dependent on the concentration of the gold catalyst. Finally, all results are consistent with the reaction mechanism proceeding via monoaurated neutral α-gold ketone intermediates only.

Abstract
Despite the recurrence of aurophilic interactions in the solid-state structures of gold(I) compounds, its rational control, modulation, and application in the generation of functional supramolecular structures is an area that requires further development. The ligand effects over the aurophilic-based supramolecular structures need to be better understood. This paper presents the supramolecular structural diversity of a series of new 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphane)propane (dppp) gold(I) fluorinated thiolates with the general formula [Au2(SRF)2(μ-dppp)] (SRF = SC6F5 (1); SC6HF4-4 (2); SC6H3(CF3)2-3,5 (3); SC6H4CF3-2 (4); SC6H4CF3-4 (5); SC6H3F2-3,4 (6); SC6H3F2-3,5 (7); SC6H4F-2 (8); SC6H4F-3 (9); SC6H4F-4 (10)). These compounds were synthesized and characterized, and six of their solid-state crystalline structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystalline arrangement, they form aurophilic-bridged polymers. In these systems, the changes in the fluorination patterns of the thiolate ligands tune the aurophilic-induced self-assembly of the compounds causing tacticity and chiral differentiation of the monomers. This is an example of the use of ligand effects on the tune of the supramolecular association of gold complexes.

Abstract
Convincing and consistent evidence for the existence of hydrogen bonding to gold has been obtained. An ammonium or pyridinium group has been shown to be an efficient hydrogen bond donor unit for gold(I) coordination centers, and the assembly leads to the structural pattern typical for standard hydrogen bonds. This constitutes the first rigorous, scrutinizing, and comprehensive study of hydrogen bonds to a metal atom, with gold being an ideal model element because of relativistic effects.

Abstract
Bismuth triiodide, BiI3, is one of the simplest bismuth halides, which have recently attracted considerable attention because of their promising properties. Here, we investigate the structural dynamics of a photoinduced reaction of BiI3 in solution phase using time-resolved X-ray liquidography (TRXL) and density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations. The photoreaction was initiated by excitation at 400 nm, which corresponds to the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transition. The detailed structures and kinetic profiles of all relevant intermediate species from the TRXL data show that the trigonal planar structure of BiI3, which is predicted to be the most stable structure of the lowest excited state by TDDFT calculation, was not observed, and the photoreaction proceeds via two parallel pathways within the time resolution of 100 ps: (i) isomer formation to produce iso-BiI2-I, which relaxes back to the ground-state structure, and (ii) dissociation into BiI2· and I· radicals, which nongeminately recombine to generate ground-state BiI3 and I2.

Abstract
Aurophilic interaction plays a very important role in gold-related clusters. Here, we investigate the Au n Cl n+1 - (n = 1-7) cluster ions using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry in combination with theoretical calculations. Three cluster ions of Au2Cl3 -, Au3Cl4 -, and Au4Cl5 - show their remarkable intensities in the mass spectrum. Geometric structure optimizations for Au n Cl n+1 - (n = 1-7) were performed on the MP2 level. The results show that the most stable structures of Au n Cl n+1 - (n = 2-7) are all characterized by a zigzag structure. Furthermore, it can be found that the aurophilic interactions containing terminal gold atoms strengthen with the increase of total gold atoms and progressively stabilize for large clusters of Au6Cl7 - and Au7Cl8 -, whereas the aurophilic interactions between nonterminal adjacent gold atoms stabilize at n = 5.

Abstract
Despite substantial evidence of short Au⋅⋅⋅H−X contacts derived from a number of X‐ray structures of AuI compounds, the nature of AuI⋅⋅⋅H bonding in these systems has not been clearly understood. Herein, we present the first spectroscopic evidence for an intramolecular AuI⋅⋅⋅H+−N hydrogen bond in a [Cl−Au−L]+ complex, where L is a protonated N‐heterocyclic carbene. The complex was isolated in the gas phase and characterized with helium‐tagging infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra, in which H+−N‐mode‐derived bands evidence the intramolecular AuI⋅⋅⋅H+−N bond. Quantum chemical calculations reproduce the experimental IRPD spectra and allow to characterize the intramolecular Au⋅⋅⋅H+−N bonding with a short rAu⋅⋅⋅H distance of 2.17 Å and an interaction energy of approximately −10 kcal mol−1. Various theoretical descriptors of chemical bonding calculated for the Au⋅⋅⋅H+−N interaction provide strong evidence for a hydrogen bond of moderate strength.

Abstract
The ability of gold to act as proton acceptor and participate in hydrogen bonding remains an open question. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of cationic gold(I) complexes featuring ditopic phosphine-ammonium (P,NH+) ligands. In addition to the presence of short Au∙∙∙H contacts in the solid state, the presence of Au∙∙∙H-N hydrogen bonds was inferred by NMR and IR spectroscopies. The bonding situation was extensively analyzed computationally. All features were consistent with the presence of three-center four-electron attractive interactions combining electrostatic and orbital components. The role of relativistic effects was examined, and the analysis is extended to other recently described gold(I) complexes.

Abstract
Aurophilicity, known as aurophilic interaction, is a strong attractive van der Waals interaction between cationic gold(I) centers, whose strength is comparable to the hydrogen bond. Here, we show that aurophilicity can serve as an engineering approach to expand the structural dimensionality for nanomaterials design. Specifically, based on a global-structure search method and density functional theory calculations, we predict a series of stable two-dimensional (2D) AuMX2 (M = Al, Ga, In; X = S, Se) structures featuring intracrystalline aurophilic interactions. All the AuMX2 monolayers designed are semiconductors with moderate band gaps, excellent carrier mobilities, and good optical properties. The intriguing chemistry of aurophilicity coupled with novel electronic properties render AuMX2 monolayers a potentially new series of 2D materials that are of fundamental importance in gold chemistry and of technological importance for nanoelectronics.
