Abstract
Herein, we report a 54-nuclei copper nanocluster, [Cu54S13O6(tBuS)20(tBuSO3)12] (Cu54), which is the largest atom-precise CuI/CuII mix-valent cluster reported. The Cu54 nanoclusters supported by TiO2 exhibit decent photocatalytic activity for phenol degradation under visible light. This work provides a platform to explore the catalytic behaviors of CuI/CuII nanosystems.

Abstract
With aromatic and aliphatic thiol-S donor Schiff base ligands, the copper-sulfur clusters, [(L1)8CuI6CuII2](ClO4)2·DMF·0.5CH3OH (1) and [(L2)12CuI5CuII11(μ4-S)(μ4-O)6](ClO4)·4H2O, respectively, have been reported ( Chem. Commun. 2017, 53, 3334); HL1/HL2 are 2-(((3-methylthiophen-2-yl)methylene)amino)benzene/ethanethiol). Complex 1 comprises a wheel shaped Cu8S8 framework, made up of interlinked Cu2{μ-S(R)}2 units. To understand the properties with relevance to the CuA site and to check whether self-assembly generates similar type clusters to 1, three complexes, [(L3)8CuI6CuII2](ClO4)2·(C2H5)2O·2.5H2O (2), [(L3Cl)8CuI6CuII2](ClO4)2·1.25(C2H5)2O·1.25CH3OH·2H2O (3), and [(L3CF3)8CuI6CuII2](ClO4)2·2(C2H5)2O·H2O (4) have been synthesized with supporting ligands HL3X (HL3 = 2-((furan-2-ylmethylene)amino)benzenethiol when X = -H; X = -Cl or -CF3 para to thiol-S are HL3Cl and HL3CF3 ligands, respectively). The X-ray structures of 3 and 4 feature a similar Cu8S8 architecture to 1. The spectroscopic properties and the X-ray structures revealed that 2-4 are fully spin delocalized mixed valence (MV) of class-III type clusters. The structural parameters of the N2Cu2{μ-S(R)}2 units of 3 and 4 closely resemble those of the MV binuclear CuA site. With the aid of UV-vis-NIR, EPR, and spectroelectrochemical studies, the electronic properties of these complexes have been described in comparison with the MV model complexes and CuA site.

Abstract
Model compounds have been widely utilized in understanding the structure and function of the unusual Cu4(μ4-S) active site (CuZ) of nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR). However, only a limited number of model compounds that mimic both structural and functional features of CuZ are available, limiting insights about CuZ that can be gained from model studies. Our aim has been to construct Cu4(μ4-S) clusters with tailored redox activity and chemical reactivity via modulating the ligand environment. Our synthetic approach uses dicopper(I) precursor complexes (Cu2L2) that assemble into a Cu4(μ4-S)L4 cluster with the addition of an appropriate sulfur source. Here, we summarize the features of the ligands L that stabilize precursor and Cu4(μ4-S) clusters, along with the alternative products that form with inappropriate ligands. The precursors are more likely to rearrange to Cu4(μ4-S) clusters when the Cu(I) ions are supported by bidentate ligands with 3-atom bridges, but steric and electronic features of the ligand also play crucial roles. Neutral phosphine donors have been found to stabilize Cu4(μ4-S) clusters in the 4Cu(I) oxidation state, while neutral nitrogen donors could not stabilize Cu4(μ4-S) clusters. Anionic formamidinate ligands have been found to stabilize Cu4(μ4-S) clusters in the 2Cu(I):2Cu(II) and 3Cu(I):1Cu(II) states, with both the formation of the dicopper(I) precursors and subsequent assembly of clusters being governed by the steric factor at the ortho positions of the N-aryl substituents. Phosphaamidinates, which combine a neutral phosphine donor and an anionic nitrogen donor in the same ligand, form multinuclear Cu(I) clusters unless the negative charge is valence-trapped on nitrogen, in which case the resulting dicopper precursor is unable to rearrange to a multinuclear cluster. Taken together, the results presented in this study provide design criteria for successful assembly of synthetic model clusters for the CuZ active site of N2OR, which should enable future insights into the chemical behavior of CuZ.

Abstract
Tetramercaptotetrathiacalix[4]arene (LH4) can be used as a coordination platform to bind four CuI ions at the thiolate and thioether S atoms. Donor ligands such as phosphanes can stabilize the resulting [LCu4] units, which then remain monomeric ([(Ph3PCu)4L]). In the absence of donor ligands, they aggregate, providing a hexamer ([LCu4]6) in high yields, with a hollow‐sphere structure formed by an unprecedented Cu24S48 cage that is surrounded by the organic framework of the calixarene chalices. Preliminary NMR experiments with regard to the host‐guest chemistry in solution showed that the compound represents a polytopic host for acetonitrile and methane.
