Summary: The oxido clusters of bismuth have attracted increasing attention in recent decades. This is due to the use of bismuth compounds as pharmaceuticals and their interesting properties. The structures of the oxido species are similar to solid state bismuth oxides, and the chemistry of the oxido clusters is closely related to the coordination chemistry of bismuth. Various ligands have been used to support the formation of these structures. The review summarizes the synthetic methods, physical and chemical properties, and structures of bismuth oxido clusters.

Summary: The aggregation-induced photoluminescence emission (AIPE) of three water-soluble heterobimetallic Ir-Pt complexes was studied, revealing their photophysical and electrochemical properties as well as their imaging capabilities for bacterial cells. The complexes consist of an alkyne-appended Schiff's base L, bridging bis-cyclometalated iridium(iii) and platinum(ii) terpyridine center. The aggregation kinetics of the alkynylplatinum(ii) fragment is influenced by pH and ionic strength, leading to metal-metal and pi-pi interactions and the emergence of a triplet metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer ((MMLCT)-M-3) emission. These aqua-friendly complexes demonstrate excellent reversibility and photostability of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and can selectively image E. coli cells at various pH values.

Summary: In this study, the reaction products of the inorganic antineoplastic drug cisplatin with dipeptide cysteinylglycine (CysGly) were analyzed using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The results showed that CysGly preferentially binds with platinum(II) via its deprotonated thiolic group to form a monovalent cisplatin complex, and evolves into a chelate structure through the SH and NH2 functionality of the cysteine residue. It was also observed that the platination reaction does not affect the trans configuration of the CysGly peptide bond.

Summary: A polyamine chelating resin (CMPs-PEI) with excellent selectivity and acid resistance was prepared, and it showed excellent adsorption effect on platinum under different acidities. The maximum adsorption capacity was 337 mg/g at pH 2 and 162.41 mg/g in 1 + 1 aqua regia (pH -0.7). The recovery of platinum by CMPs-PEI in practical platinum-containing iron concentrate abatement solution was 100%. Mechanistic studies showed that CMPs-PEI bound PtCl62- and partially reduced PtCl42- by electrostatic attraction.

Summary: Cisplatin is one of the oldest chemotherapeutic agents and has been used to treat various types of cancer. However, tumor cells often develop resistance mechanisms, limiting the effectiveness of cisplatin treatment. Extensive molecular and genetic profiling of patients is needed to identify individuals who can benefit from cisplatin therapy, and combining it with targeted therapies may improve treatment outcomes.

Summary: Encapsulating cisplatin inside carbon nanohorns (CNH) is a promising chemotherapy but still under investigation. The process involves bringing in a minimal amount of water molecules into the nanocarrier. The confined system, along with the low concentration of Cl- inside CNH, promotes the hydrolysis of cisplatin. In this study, the QM/MM hybrid approach was used to investigate the process. The results showed that the reaction inside CNH is less favorable but significantly faster in kinetics compared to the bulk reaction, suggesting the coexistence of cisplatin and its aquo-derivative inside the nanoformulation.

Summary: This study investigates the complex conversion of the cisplatin-1-methyluracil complex to aqua species under various conditions. The composition of the products depends on the sample history, showing a diverse range of compounds with different condensation patterns and NH3 ligand losses. Analysis using H-1 NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopy reveals the presence of various species with different metal nuclearity, stoichiometry, and Pt oxidation state, suggesting a heterogeneous mixture rather than a mixture of oligomers of different sizes.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
