Abstract
We have quantum chemically analyzed the closed-shell d8-d8 metallophilic interaction in dimers of square planar [M(CO)2X2] complexes (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br, I) using dispersion-corrected density functional theory at ZORA-BLYP-D3(BJ)/TZ2P level of theory. Our purpose is to reveal the nature of the [X2(CO)2M]⋯[M(CO)2X2] bonding mechanism by analyzing trends upon variations in M and X. Our analyses reveal that the formation of the [M(CO)2X2]2 dimers is favored by an increasingly stabilizing electrostatic interaction when the M increases in size and by more stabilizing dispersion interactions promoted by the larger X. In addition, there is an overlooked covalent component stemming from metal-metal and ligand-ligand donor-acceptor interactions. Thus, at variance with the currently accepted picture, the d8-d8 metallophilicity is attractive, and the formation of [M(CO)2X2]2 dimers is not a purely dispersion-driven phenomenon.

Abstract
Three dinuclear Pd(II) complexes (1, 2, and 3) with intense red phosphorescence at room temperature are here synthesized using strong ligand field strength compounds. All three complexes are characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. Complexes 2 and 3 are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystalline data of 2 and 3 reveal complex double-layer structures, with Pd-Pd distances of 2.8690(9) Å and 2.8584(17) Å, respectively. Furthermore, complexes 1, 2, and 3 show phosphorescence at room temperature in their solid states at the wavelengths of 678, 601, and 672 nm, respectively. In addition, they show phosphorescence at 634, 635, and 582 nm, respectively, in the 2 wt.% (PMMA) films, and phosphorescence at 670, 675, and 589 nm, respectively, in the deoxygenated CH2Cl2 solutions. Among three complexes, complex 1 shows red emission at 634 nm with phosphorescent quantum yield Ф = 67% in the 2 wt.% PMMA film. Furthermore, complex 1-based organic light-emitting diode is fabricated using a vapor-phase deposition process, and their maximum external quantum efficiency reaches 20.52%, which is the highest percentage obtained by using the dinuclear Pd(II) complex triplet emitters with the CIE coordinates of (0.62, 0.38).

Abstract
Metallophilic interactions are the widespread interactions in multimetal clusters to orientate closed-shell metal self-assembly form linear, facet, or block clusters. The closed-shell metal cation does not have empty valence orbitals, but is able to attract each other. It is still a conundrum to understand the resource in balancing the strong Coulomb repulsion between two cations. Most traditional descriptions attribute the counterintuitive attractions to London dispersion, Pauli repulsions, and ambiguous orbital interactions. However, neither the dispersion nor the unsourced donor-acceptor interaction can be applied to explain the saturability and directionality in multimetal clusters, where the M···M' structure is the basic molecular unit. Here, we clarify the origination of the covalency in closed-shell metallophilic interactions based on the study of heterobimetallic compounds composed of d10-d8 species (AgI/AuI-PdII) and d10-d10 species (AgI/AuI-HgII) obtained from experiments. The inner d electrons not only participate in the metallophilic interactions but also show different Lewis acidity and basicity in the formation of M···M' structures. The present work not only provides us a novel covalent perspective to visualize the closed-shell M···M' interactions but also unveils the truth of metallophilic interactions.

A Broadened Class of Donor-Acceptor Stacked Macrometallacyclic Adducts of Different Coinage Metals. Chemistry 2024:e202401576.

Abstract
A yet-outstanding supramolecular chemistry challenge is isolation of novel varieties of stacked complexes with finely-tuned donor-acceptor bonding and optoelectronic properties, as herein reported for binary adducts comprising two different cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTC@CTC'). Most previous attempts focused only on 1-2 factors among metal/ligand/substituent combinations, resulting in heterobimetallic complexes. Instead, here we show that, when all 3 factors are carefully considered, a broadened variety of CTC@CTC' stacked pairs with intuitively-enhanced intertrimer coordinate-covalent bonding strength and ligand-ligand/metal-ligand dispersion are attained (dM-M' 2.868(2) Å; ΔE>50 kcal/mol, an order of magnitude higher than aurophilic/metallophilic interactions). Significantly, CTC@CTC' pairs remain intact/strongly-bound even in solution (Keq 4.67×105 L/mol via NMR/UV-vis titrations), and the gas phase (mass spectrometry revealing molecular peaks for the entire CTC@CTC' units in sublimed samples), rather than simple co-crystal formation. Photo-/electro-luminescence studies unravel metal-centered phosphorescence useful for novel all metal-organic light-emitting diodes (MOLEDs) optoelectronic device concepts. This work manifests systematic design of supramolecular bonding and multi-faceted spectral properties of pure metal-organic macrometallacyclic donor/acceptor (inorganic/inorganic) stacks with remarkably-rich optoelectronic properties akin to well-established organic/organic and organic/inorganic analogues.

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
Subvalent compounds raise the question of where those valence electrons not belonging to chemical bonds are. In the limiting case of Ag7Pt2O7, there is just one-electron excess in the chemical formula requiring the presence of Ag atoms with oxidation states below +1, assuming conventional Pt4+ and O2- ions. Such a situation challenges the understanding of the semiconducting and diamagnetic behavior observed in this oxide. Previous explanations that localize pairwise the electron excess in tetrahedral Ag4 interstices do not suffice in this case, since there are six silver tetrahedral voids and only an excess of nine electrons in the unit cell. Here, we provide an alternative explanation for the subvalent nature of this compound by combining interatomic distances, electron density-based descriptors, and orbital energetic analysis criteria. As a result, Ag atoms that do not participate in their valence electron are revealed. We identify excess electrons located in isolated subvalent silver clusters with electron-deficient multicenter bonds resembling pieces of metallic bonding in fcc-Ag and Ag7Pt2 alloy. Our analysis of the electronic band structure also supports the multicenter bonding picture. This combined approach from the real and reciprocal spaces reconciles existing discrepancies and is key to understanding the new chemistry of silver subvalent compounds.

Abstract
Developing biocompatible nanocoatings is crucial for biomedical applications. Noble metal colloidal nanoparticles with biomolecular shells are thought to combine diverse chemical and optothermal functionalities with biocompatibility. Herein, we present nanoparticles with peptide hydrogel shells that feature an unusual combination of properties: the metal core possesses localized plasmon resonance, whereas a few-nanometer-thick shells open opportunities to employ their soft framework for loading and scaffolding. We demonstrate this concept with gold and silver nanoparticles capped by glutathione peptides stacked into parallel β-sheets as they aggregate on the surface. A key role in the formation of the ordered structure is played by coinage metal(I) thiolates, i.e., Ag(I), Cu(I), and Au(I). The shell thickness can be controlled via the concentration of either metal ions or peptides. Theoretical modeling of the shell's molecular structure suggests that the thiolates have a similar conformation for all the metals and that the parallel β-sheet-like structure is a kinetic product of the peptide aggregation. Using third-order nonlinear two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, we revealed that the ordered secondary structure is similar to the bulk hydrogels of the coinage metal thiolates of glutathione, which also consist of aggregated stacked parallel β-sheets. We expect that nanoparticles with hydrogel shells will be useful additions to the nanomaterial toolbox. The present method of nanogel coating can be applied to arbitrary surfaces where the initial deposition of the seed glutathione monolayer is possible.

Abstract
Metallophilicity has been widely considered to be the driving force for self-assembly of closed-shell d10 metal complexes, but this view has been challenged by recent studies showing that metallophilicity in linear d10-d10 dimers is repulsive. This is due to strong metal-metal (M-M') Pauli repulsion (Wan, Q., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 2021, 118, e2019265118). Here, we study M-M' Pauli repulsion in d10 metal clusters. Our results show that M-M' Pauli repulsion in d10 polynuclear clusters is 6-52% weaker than in similar linear d10 complexes due to the anisotropic shape of (n+1)s-nd hybridized orbitals. The overall M-M' interactions in closed-shell d10 polynuclear metal clusters remain repulsive. The effects of coordination geometry, relativistic effects, and the ligand's electronegativity on M-M' Pauli repulsion in polynuclear d10 clusters have been explored. These findings provide valuable guidance for the design and development of ligands and coordination geometries that alleviate M-M' Pauli repulsion in d10 metal cluster systems.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the application of 103Rh solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy to inorganic and organometallic coordination compounds, in combination with relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculations of 103Rh chemical shift tensors and their analysis with natural bond orbital (NBO) and natural localized molecular orbital (NLMO) protocols, to develop correlations between 103Rh chemical shift tensors, molecular structure, and Rh-ligand bonding. 103Rh is one of the least receptive NMR nuclides, and consequently, there are very few reports in the literature. We introduce robust 103Rh SSNMR protocols for stationary samples, which use the broadband adiabatic inversion-cross polarization (BRAIN-CP) pulse sequence and wideband uniform-rate smooth-truncation (WURST) pulses for excitation, refocusing, and polarization transfer, and demonstrate the acquisition of 103Rh SSNMR spectra of unprecedented signal-to-noise and uniformity. The 103Rh chemical shift tensors determined from these spectra are complemented by NBO/NLMO analyses of contributions of individual orbitals to the 103Rh magnetic shielding tensors to understand their relationship to structure and bonding. Finally, we discuss the potential for these experimental and theoretical protocols for investigating a wide range of materials containing the platinum group elements.

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
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
Binuclear coinage metal phosphine complexes are examined under ion trap isolation in order to elucidate their noncovalent binding, structural properties and intrinsic electronic spectra. Our survey shows an intriguing order of electronic transitions obtained by in situ synthesis and mass-spectrometrically supported UV photodissociation spectroscopy on a series of six isolated homo- and heterobinuclear complexes of type [MM'(dcpm)2]2+ (M, M' = CuI, AgI, AuI; dcpm = bis(dicyclohexyl-phosphino)methane). This approach provides the unique opportunity to study all possible coinage metal interactions within a fixed ligand framework. A successive blue-shift (33 700-38 500 cm-1; 297-260 nm) of the lowest-energy bright electronic transition energy in gas phase was observed in the order of Cu2 < CuAu < CuAg < Au2 < AgAu < Ag2. This order was reproduced by quantum chemical calculations using a scalar-relativistic GW-Bethe-Salpeter-equation (GW-BSE) approach. Theory ascribes the electronic bands of all complexes to metal-centered 1MC(dσ*-pσ) transitions revealing a strengthening of metal-metal' (M-M') binding upon excitation, in agreement to mass spetrometric results. A test of the correlation of transition energies with M-M' distance by quantum chemical calculations of single point energies as a function of intermetallic distance indicates qualitative agreement with experimental results. However, the experimentally observed high sensitivity of spectroscopic shifts towards metal composition cannot be accounted for solely by M-M' distance variation. The differences in electronic transitions are qualitatively rationalized by the varying (n + 1)s (n = 3, 4, 5) orbital contributions (increase from Cu2via CuAu/CuAg to Au2/AgAu/Ag2) within the nd(n + 1)s/p-hybridization for the ground electronic state of the different complexes, whereas the excited state (of (n + 1)p orbital character) shows significantly less variation in energy. In particular, the observed spectroscopic and mass spectrometric sequence for the Ag/Au complexes is traced back to the interplay of Pauli repulsion and variation in metal-ligand bond strength within the orbital hybridization model.

Abstract
Although square-planar Pt(II) complexes are well-known to self-assemble into supramolecules via noncovalent intermolecular Pt···Pt and/or π-π interactions, the self-assembly of dicationic Pt(II) complexes was scarce due to the electrostatic repulsive force. Herein, a series of dicationic diimine bis(N-heterocyclic allenylidene) Pt(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized. Close Pt···Pt and/or π-π contacts are observed in the crystals of these complexes. In particular, complexes 1·2PF6 and 2·2PF6 exhibit one-dimensional packing with extended Pt···Pt contacts of 3.302 and 3.240 Å, respectively. The photophysical properties of these complexes in the solution and solid state were investigated. NIR emission was recorded for complexes 1·2PF6 (λmax = 950 nm) and 2·2PF6 (λmax = 855 nm) in the solid state at 298 K. To explore the aggregate behaviors of these complexes, the counteranion PF6- was exchanged to the large lipophilic anion 2,3,4-tris(dodecyloxy)benzene sulfonate (LA-) and the hydrophilic anion Cl-. Complexes 1·2LA and 2·2LA or 1·2Cl and 2·2Cl could self-assemble with Pt···Pt and/or π-π interactions in the nonpolar or aqueous solutions as well. Further increasing the concentration of 1·2Cl and 2·2Cl in aqueous solution, chromonic mesophases with NIR emission (λmax = 988 nm) were obtained. DFT and TD-DFT calculations were performed to gain deep insight into the dication-dication packings and photophysical properties of the complexes. The σ-donating as well as π-accepting character of the N-heterocyclic allenylidene ligand endows complexes with rigid and electron-delocalized coplanar features, which are conducive to achieving the self-assembling processes associated with Pt···Pt and/or π-π interactions.

Abstract
The low efficiency triplet emission of hybrid copper(I) iodide clusters is a critical obstacle to their further practical optoelectronic application. Herein, we present an efficient hybrid copper(I) iodide cluster emitter (DBA)4 Cu4 I4 , where the cooperation of excited state structure reorganization and the metallophilicity interaction enables ultra-bright triplet yellow-orange emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield over 94.9 %, and the phonon-assisted de-trapping process of exciton induces the negative thermal quenching effect at 80-300 K. We also investigate the potential of this emitter for X-ray imaging. The (DBA)4 Cu4 I4 wafer demonstrates a light yield higher than 104 photons MeV-1 and a high spatial resolution of ≈5.0 lp mm-1 , showing great potential in practical X-ray imaging applications. Our new copper(I) iodide cluster emitter can serve as a model for investigating the thermodynamic mechanism of photoluminescence in hybrid copper(I) halide phosphorescence materials.

Abstract
Introduction of multiple kinetic aggregation states (Aggs) into the self-assembly pathway could bring complexity and flexibility to the self-assemblies, which is difficult to realize due to the delicate equilibria established among different Aggs bonded by weak noncovalent interactions. Here, we describe a series of chiral and achiral d10 AuI bis(N-heterocyclic carbene, NHC) complexes, and the achiral complex could undergo self-assembly with multiple kinetic Aggs. Generation of multiple kinetic Aggs was realized by applying chiral or achiral seeds exhibiting large differences in elongation temperatures for their respective cooperative self-assembly processes. We further showed that the chiral AuI self-assemblies having non-centrosymmetric packing forms exhibit nonlinear optical response of second harmonic generation (SHG), while the SHG signal is absent in the achiral analogue. The crystalline achiral AuI self-assemblies could function as optical waveguides with strong emission polarization.

Abstract
Metallophilic interactions, which are ubiquitous among d10 metal complexes with linear coordination geometries, can direct one-dimensional assembly. However, the ability of these interactions to manipulate chirality at the hierarchical level largely remains unknown. In this work, we unveiled the role of Au···Cu metallophilic interactions in directing the chirality of multicomponent assemblies. N-heterocyclic carbene-Au(I) complexes bearing amino acid residues formed chiral co-assemblies with [CuI2]- anions via Au···Cu interactions. These metallophilic interactions changed the molecular packing modes of the co-assembled nanoarchitectures from lamellar to columnar chiral packing. This transformation initiated the emergence, inversion, and evolution of supramolecular chirality, thereby affording helical superstructures, depending on the geometry of building units. In addition, the Au···Cu interactions altered the luminescence properties and induced the emergence and amplification of circularly polarized luminescence. This work, for the first time, revealed the role of Au···Cu metallophilic interactions in modulating supramolecular chirality, paving the way for the construction of functional chiroptical materials based on d10 metal complexes.

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
Synergistic effect extensively exists in multimetal-involved catalytic or mediated processes of group 11 metals due to their remarkable metallophilic interactions. Herein, we present a multiple synergism model for alkynyl substrates and conduct theoretical investigations on various multimetallic bonding modes and the corresponding synergistic activations. We computationally screen nine alkynyl multisilver coordination modes and sequence their reactivity shown in an intramolecular nucleophilic addition reaction by the trend of active μ4-η1η1η2η2 and μ3-η1η1η2 to the relatively inert μ2-η1η2. The transition-state (TS) stabilization of the high-nuclearity mode mainly comes from the significant negative interaction energies between Agn and the substrate based on the distortion/interaction analysis. Energy decomposition analysis-natural orbitals for chemical valence (EDA-NOCV) analysis further reveals the charge-accepting reservoir effect of the polysilver moiety and the orbital match between the alkynyl group and specific spatial arrangement of silver atoms to account for this efficient activation. In addition, tests on different ligands coordinated to silver atoms show a correlation of the ligand conformation adjustability with the reactivity of the alkynyl unit, and the accommodable η2 activation unit embodies a lower deformation energy than the other homonuclear synergistic modes. Privileged multiple synergistic models have been further evidenced based on on-bench experiments by isolating trisilver and tetrasilver alkynyl complexes. This study not only systematically evaluates the multimetallic synergism of different coordination modes in alkyne activation but also provides a guidance for the future design of multimetallic catalysts.

Abstract
Metallophilicity has been widely studied as a fundamental supramolecular interaction. However, the extent and directionality thereof remain controversial. A major obstacle lies in the difficulty to separately control the geometry and chemical composition. Herein, we address this challenge by modulating metallophilicity with mechanical pressure. Using a multinuclear Cu(I) complex as model system, we report anomalous anisotropies of (supra)molecular structures, vibrations, and interaction energies upon isotropic compression as well as concomitant (essentially turn-on) piezochromic luminescence enhancement with ∼103 modulation. The in situ characterizations indicate opposite behaviors of contact distances and cuprophilic interactions for intermolecular vs intramolecular Cu-Cu pairs under pressure. Theoretical calculations break down the attractive and repulsive forces associated with cuprophilicity, its spontaneous 4p-3d hybridization origin, and direction-dependent interaction strength. The use of isotropic mechanical force reveals the intrinsic anisotropy of metallophilicity in multinuclear systems.

Structure-property relationships of photofunctional diiridium(II) complexes with tetracationic charge and an unsupported Ir-Ir bond. Commun Chem 2022; 5:159. [PMID: 36698025 PMCID: PMC9814866 DOI: 10.1038/s42004-022-00775-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
In contrast to the extensively studied dirhodium(II) complexes and iridium(III) complexes, neutral or dicationic dinuclear iridium(II) complexes with an unsupported ligand are underdeveloped. Here, a series of tetracationic dinuclear iridium(II) complexes, featuring the unsupported Ir(II)-Ir(II) single bond with long bond distances (2.8942(4)-2.9731(4) Å), are synthesized and structurally characterized. Interestingly, compared to the previous unsupported neutral or dicationic diiridium(II) complexes, our DFT and high-level DLPNO-CCSD(T) results found the largest binding energy in these tetracationic complexes even with the long Ir(II)-Ir(II) bond. Our study further reveals that London dispersion interactions enhance the stability cooperatively and significantly to overcome the strong electrostatic repulsion between two half dicationic metal fragments. This class of complexes also exhibit photoluminescence in solution and solid states, which, to our knowledge, represents the first example of this unsupported dinuclear iridium(II) system. In addition, their photoreactivity involving the generation of iridium(II) radical monomer from homolytic cleavage was also explored. The experimental results of photophysical and photochemical behaviours were also correlated with computational studies.

Abstract
Photonic circuit systems based on optical waveguiding heteroarchitectures have attracted considerable interest owing to their potential to overcome the speed limitation in electronic circuits by modulating the optical signal at the micro- or nanoscale. However, controlling the parameters, including the wavelength and polarization of the light outcoupling, as well as the sequence among different building blocks, remains a key issue. Herein, supramolecular heteroarchitectures made by phosphorescent organometallic complexes of Pt, Pd, Cu, and Au are applied as photonic logic gates that show continuously variable emission colors from 475 to 810 nm, low waveguide losses down to 0.0077 dB µm-1 , and remarkable excitation-light polarization-dependent photoluminescence with anisotropy ratios up to 0.68. The sequences among Pt, Pd, Au, and Cu building blocks in the heteroarchitectures are controlled by living supramolecular polymerization or crystallization-driven self-assembly synthetic approaches. The results indicate the prospects for using organometallic complexes and supramolecular synthetic approaches to prepare photonic circuit systems with tunable emission color and controllable sequences among different blocks that achieve modulation of the optical signal in the visible-to-near-infrared spectral region.

Abstract
Understanding the bonding of gold(I) species has been central to the development of gold(I) catalysis. Herein, we present the synthesis and characterization of the first gold(I)-cyclobutadiene complex, accompanied with bonding analysis by state-of-the-art energy decomposition analysis methods. Analysis of possible coordination modes for the new species not only confirms established characteristics of gold(I) bonding, but also suggests that Pauli repulsion is a key yet hitherto overlooked element. Additionally, we obtain a new perspective on gold(I)-bonding by comparison of the gold(I)-cyclobutadiene to congeners stabilized by p-, d-, and f-block metals. Consequently, we refine the gold(I) bonding model, with a delicate interplay of Pauli repulsion and charge transfer as the key driving force for various coordination motifs. Pauli repulsion is similarly determined as a significant interaction in AuI -alkyne species, corroborating this revised understanding of AuI bonding.

Abstract
Metal-free and metal-containing molecular trefoil knots are fascinating ensembles that are usually covalently assembled, the latter requiring the rational design of di- or multidentate/multipodal ligands as connectors. In this work, we describe the self-assembly of pentadecanuclear AuI trefoil knots [Au15 (C≡CR)15 ] from monoalkynes HC≡CR (R=9,9-X2 -fluorenyl with X=nBu, n-hexyl) and [AuI (THT)Cl]. Hetero-bimetallic counterparts [Au9 M6 (C≡CR)15 ] (M=Cu/Ag) were self-assembled by reactions of [Au15 (C≡CR)15 ] with [Cu(MeCN)4 ]+ /AgNO3 and HC≡CR. The type of pentadecanuclear trefoil knots described herein is characterized by X-ray crystallography, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. [Au9 Cu6 (C≡CR)15 ] is relatively stable in hexane; its excited state properties were investigated. DFT calculations revealed that non-covalent metal-metal and metal-ligand interactions, together with longer alkyl chain-strengthened inter-ligand dispersion interactions, govern the stability of the trefoil knot structures.

Abstract
Group 11 metal complexes with their ability to form metallophilic interations are widely pursued to develop multifunctional luminescent materials. Heteronuclear coinage metal complexes are promising candidates to tune electronic and optical properties which are not readily accessed by their homometallic congeners. In this review, we present the concept of orthogonal ligands which are rationally designed to access heteronuclear coinage metal complexes and studied in terms of their photophysical properties. Bifunctional ligands containing soft and hard donor atoms have the potential of providing different coordination modes to selectively synthesise heterobimetallic complexes in a predictable manner. This review deals with ligand sets composed of pyridine, bipyridine- or iminopyridine-substituted NHCs featuring C-N coordination modes, phosphine-based N-heterocycles and amidinate ligand scaffolds comprising of P-N functionalities and mixed phosphine-phosphine oxide with P-O donor sites. Therefore, the scope of this perspective is the discussion of heteronuclear coinage metal complexes supported by recently developed bifunctional ligands in terms of their synthesis, coordination geometries and tunability of optical properties when compared to their homometallic analogues.

Elucidation of the key role of Pt···Pt interactions in the directional self-assembly of platinum(II) complexes. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2022; 119:e2116543119.

Abstract
Molecular self-assembly provides a bottom-up platform to design supramolecular functional materials, attracting numerous interests in material sciences. The utilization of platinum(II) complexes as building blocks of supramolecular assemblies opens up the unique noncovalent Pt···Pt interaction as one of the driving forces, imparting the supramolecular materials with rich spectroscopic features. However, the exact role of Pt···Pt interactions in molecular assembly remains elusive. The current study combines experimental and computational techniques to elucidate the role of Pt···Pt interactions in the self-assembly process of a representative amphiphilic platinum(II) complex. This work demonstrates the directional role of Pt···Pt interactions in assisting the molecular assembly in an anisotropic manner, achieving the formation of ordered self-assembled structures. Here, we report the use of an amphiphilic Pt(II) complex, K[Pt{(O3SCH2CH2CH2)2bzimpy}Cl] (PtB), as a model to elucidate the key role of Pt···Pt interactions in directing self-assembly by combining temperature-dependent ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, stopped-flow kinetic experiments, quantum mechanics (QM) calculations, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interestingly, we found that the self-assembly mechanism of PtB in aqueous solution follows a nucleation-free isodesmic model, as revealed by the temperature-dependent UV-Vis experiments. In contrast, a cooperative growth is found for the self-assembly of PtB in acetone–water (7:1, vol/vol) solution, which is further verified by the stopped-flow experiments, which clearly indicates the existence of a nucleation phase in the acetone–water (7:1, vol/vol) solution. To reveal the underlying reasons and driving forces for these self-assembly processes, we performed QM calculations and show that the Pt···Pt interactions arising from the interaction between the pz and dz2 orbitals play a crucial role in determining the formation of ordered self-assembled structures. In subsequent oligomer MD simulations, we demonstrate that this directional Pt···Pt interaction can indeed facilitate the formation of linear structures packed in a helix-like fashion. Our results suggest that the self-assembly of PtB in acetone–water (7:1, vol/vol) solution is predominantly driven by the directional noncovalent Pt···Pt interaction, leading to the cooperative growth and the formation of fibrous nanostructures. On the contrary, the self-assembly in aqueous solution forms spherical nanostructures of PtB, which is primarily due to the predominant contribution from the less directional hydrophobic interactions over the directional Pt···Pt and π−π interactions that result in an isodesmic growth.

Abstract
Controlling the synthesis of chiral metal clusters in the aspects of nuclearity number, metal-metal interaction, and spatial arrangement of metal atoms is crucial for establishing the correlation of detailed structural factors with chiroptical activity. Herein, a series of enantiopure gold complexes with nuclearity numbers ranging from 2 to 5 were constructed and structurally characterized. On the basis of the annulation reaction between two aurated μ2-imido nucleophilic units with various aldehydes, we finely adjusted the metal-metal interaction and torsion angles of a characteristic tetranuclear metal cluster by introducing different substituents into the resulting imidazolidine dianionic chiral skeleton. Further structural investigations, contrast experiments, and time-dependent density functional theory calculations confirmed that the chiroptical response of the acquired asymmetric metal clusters was mainly affected by the geometrically twisted arrangement of metal atoms. Finally, the tetranuclear gold cluster compound with the shortest intermetallic interaction and the largest torsion angle of a Au4 core showed the highest absorption anisotropy factor up to 2.2 × 10-3. In addition, the correlation of structural factors with the stability of chiral gold clusters was thoroughly evaluated by monitoring the CD, UV-vis, and NMR spectra at elevated temperatures. Insight into the relationship between the structural factors with the chiroptical property and stability of chiral gold clusters in this work will help us to design and achieve more stable chiral metal clusters and stimulate their practical applications in chiroptical functional materials.

Abstract
First-principles calculations were performed to study a novel layered SnGe2N4 compound, which was found to be dynamically and thermally stable in the 2H phase, with the space group P6̄m2 and lattice constant a = 3.143 Å. Due to its hexagonal structure, SnGe2N4 exhibits isotropic mechanical properties on the x–y plane, where the Young’s modulus is 335.49 N m−1 and the Poisson’s ratio is 0.862. The layered 2H SnGe2N4 is a semiconductor with a direct band gap of 1.832 eV, allowing the absorption of infrared and visible light at a rate of about 104 cm−1. The DOS is characterized by multiple high peaks in the valence and conduction bands, making it possible for this semiconductor to absorb light in the ultraviolet region with an even higher rate of 105 cm−1. The band structure, with a strongly concave downward conduction band and rather flat valence band, leads to a high electron mobility of 1061.66 cm2 V−1 s−1, which is substantially greater than the hole mobility of 28.35 cm2 V−1 s−1. This difference in mobility is favorable for electron–hole separation. These advantages make layered 2H SnGe2N4 a very promising photoelectric material. Furthermore, the electronic structure of 2H SnGe2N4 responds well to strain and an external electric field due to the specificity of the p–d hybridization, which predominantly constructs the valence bands. As a result, strain and external electric fields can efficiently tune the band gap value of 2H SnGe2N4, where compressive strain widens the band gap, meanwhile tensile strain and external electric fields cause band gap reduction. In particular, the band gap is decreased by about 0.25 eV when the electric field strength increases by 0.1 V Å−1, making a semiconductor–metal transition possible for the layered SnGe2N4. The promising photoelectric semiconductor 2H SnGe2N4 has a tunable electronic structure which is favorable for the absorption of light in the infrared and visible regions.![]()

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
Efficient and long-range exciton transport is critical for photosynthesis and opto-electronic devices, and for triplet-harvesting materials, triplet exciton diffusion length ( [[EQUATION]] ) and coefficient ( [[EQUATION]] ) are key parameters in determining their performances. Herein, we observed that PtII and PdII organometallic nanowires exhibit long-range anisotropic triplet exciton LD of 5-7 μm along the M-M direction using direct photoluminescence (PL) imaging technique by low-power continuous wave (CW) laser excitation. At room temperature, via a combined triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) analysis and spatial PL imaging, an efficient triplet exciton diffusion was observed for the PtII and PdII nanowires with extended close M-M contact, while is absent in nanowires without close M-M contact. Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and calculations revealed a significant contribution of the delocalized 1/3[dσ*(M-M)→π*] excited state during the exciton diffusion modulated by the M-M distance.

Abstract
A series of group 11 m-terphenyl complexes have been synthesized via a metathesis reaction from the iron(II) complexes (2,6-Mes2C6H3)2Fe and (2,6-Xyl2C6H3)2Fe (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; Xyl = 2,6-Me2C6H3). [2,6-Mes2C6H3M]2 (1, M = Cu; 2, M = Ag; 6, M = Au) and [2,6-Xyl2C6H3M]2 (3, M = Cu; 4, M = Ag) are dimeric in the solid state, although different geometries are observed depending on the ligand. These complexes feature short metal-metal distances in the expected range for metallophilic interactions. While 1-4 are readily isolated using this metathetical route, the gold complex 6 is unstable in solution at ambient temperatures and has only been obtained in low yield from the decomposition of (2,6-Mes2C6H3)Au·SMe2 (5). NMR spectroscopic measurements, including diffusion-ordered spectroscopy, suggest that 1-4 remain dimeric in a benzene-d6 solution. The metal-metal interactions have been examined computationally using the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules and by an energy decomposition analysis employing natural orbitals for chemical valence.

Abstract
Palladium(0) phosphine complexes are of great importance as catalysts in numerous bond formation reactions that involve oxidative addition of substrates. Highly active catalysts with labile ligands are of particular interest but can be challenging to isolate and structurally characterize. We investigate here the synthesis and chemical reactivity of Pd0 complexes that contain geometrically adaptable diferrocenylmercury-bridged diphosphine chelate ligands (L) in combination with a labile dibenzylideneacetone (dba) ligand. The diastereomeric diphosphines 1a (pSpR, meso-isomer) and 1b (pSpS-isomer) differ in the orientation of the ferrocene moieties relative to the central Ph2PC5H3-Hg-C5H3PPh2 bridging entity. The structurally distinct trigonal LPd0(dba) complexes 2a (meso) and 2b (pSpS) are obtained upon treatment with Pd(dba)2. A competition reaction reveals that 1b reacts faster than 1a with Pd(dba)2. Unexpectedly, catalytic interconversion of 1a (meso) into 1b (rac) is observed at room temperature in the presence of only catalytic amounts of Pd(dba)2. Both Pd0 complexes, 2a and 2b, readily undergo oxidative addition into the C-Cl bond of CH2Cl2 at moderate temperatures with formation of the square-planar trans-chelate complexes LPdIICl(CH2Cl) (3a, 3b). Kinetic studies reveal a significantly higher reaction rate for the meso-isomer 2a in comparison to (pSpS)-2b.
