Summary: The syntheses and structures of a series of complexes based on the (CC)-C-?-chelated Au(III) unit were reported. The X-ray structures revealed varied dispositions determined by the different coordination modes of Ag(I) or Cu(I). The complexes showed bright photoluminescence in the solid state and in PMMA films, dominated by (IL)-I-3((CC)-C-?) transitions with indirect effects from the rest of the molecules.

Summary: Unsymmetrical dicarboxylato complexes react with different terminal alkynes to produce various compounds, and these reactions can undergo isomerization, annulation, reduction or coupling processes upon irradiation. The photoreactivity of these complexes is attributed to different excited states, and the products depend on the presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups on the alkynes. The C-C couplings from certain complexes are attributed to photoreactive pentacoordinate intermediates.

Summary: Three organometallic rhenium-based clusters containing phenylacetylide ligands were synthesized and characterized. Reactivity studies showed that the formation of vinylidene species did not occur as predicted, but instead the elimination of the acetylide moiety was observed. The isolated reaction products were characterized, and the relative reactivities of the electrophilic agents were compared. Computational studies provided useful information about the nature of the [Re6Se8]2+-acetylide bond and aided in understanding the reactivity of this cluster complex.

Summary: Three new metallosurfactants containing 3d(4) manganese(III) ions were designed and deposited as Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers on gold electrodes for directional electron transfer. All three Mn-III metallosurfactants exhibited current rectification, and their behavior was compared with other 3d metal species. Through rigorous analysis, distinct mechanisms were proposed for how electronic configurations and ligand frameworks influence electron transport. The Mn-III species showed similar electron transport to Fe-III, but with lower current capacities, indicating the importance of film quality.

Summary: The transition metal-NHC complexes were synthesized by us, including a bidentate ligand L1H(Br) with 1-methyl imidazolium salt and a pendant triazole moiety. Anion exchange of L1-H(Br) with NH4PF6 produced L1H(PF6) with non-coordinating anion PF6. The Ag(I)-NHC complex (L1)2Ag(PF6) was obtained by reacting L1-H(PF6) with half an equivalent of Ag2O and acted as an excellent carbene transfer agent.

Summary: In a recent study by Cadranel and co-workers, time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy was used to observe photo-induced metal-to-bridge charge transfer in the homovalent analogue of the Creutz-Taube ion. This resulted in two closely lying excited states with mixed-valence character, one with a shorter lifetime (136 ps) and weakly-coupled (Robin-Day Class II) character, and the other a longer-lived (2.8 ns) configurational isomer with more delocalized electronic structure. Electron transfer reactions from the longer-lived species showed similarities with the photoinduced reactions of the photosynthetic special pair, suggesting its potential as a reference system for excited state mixed-valency and photocatalytic reactions.

Summary: The iridium catalysed C-H borylation of polyfluorinated arenes and heteroarenes occurs rapidly and efficiently. Steric parameters dominate the borylation reactions, but there is also an underlying electronic influence on reaction selectivity. The regioselectivity of borylation in fluorinated (hetero)arenes is mainly determined by electronic effects, except for ortho-borylation between two fluorine atoms where steric effects become apparent. Good agreement between predicted and observed selectivities is achieved by considering transition state energies in iridium geometries.

Summary: This study investigates the emission behavior of Ir(ppy)2(acac) complexes with OPE3 motifs and finds that the complexes containing OPE3 structures have long emission lifetimes, which can be achieved through intramolecular reversible electronic energy transfer (REET) with even longer-lived localized OPE3 states.

Summary: Biphasic interfacial electron transfer (IET) reactions at polarisable liquid|liquid (L|L) interfaces play crucial roles in various applications such as electrosynthesis and bioelectrochemistry. In this study, we demonstrate the occurrence of biphasic 2-electron O-2 reduction reaction through single-step IET between decamethylferrocene and interfacial protons. The interfacial Galvani potential difference was found to have no direct driving force for the biphasic IET reaction, and the correlation between the onset potential and the potential of zero charge at the polarised L|L interface was identified. The optimization of interfacial ion distributions is important for achieving substantial concentrations of aqueous and organic redox species at the L|L interface simultaneously.

Summary: The development of miniaturized electronics has led to the design and construction of powerful experimental platforms capable of measuring electronic properties to the level of single molecules, along with new theoretical concepts to aid in the interpretation of the data. A new area of activity is now emerging concerned with repurposing the tools of molecular electronics for applications in chemical and biological analysis. Single-molecule junction techniques, such as the scanning tunnelling microscope break junction and related single-molecule circuit approaches have a remarkable capacity to transduce chemical information from individual molecules, sampled in real time, to electrical signals.

Summary: Six new diiridium complexes with 2-methyl-6-phenylpyridyl as the cyclometalating ligand and mu(2)-oxamidato or mu(2)-dithioxamidato as the bridging ligand have been synthesized. The presence of multiple isomers in these complexes was confirmed by NMR and X-ray crystallography, and computational calculations supported the experimental findings. The emission spectra of these complexes were attributed to mixed metal-ligand to ligand charge transfer excited states.

Summary: The quantum circuit rule (QCR) estimates the conductance of molecular junctions by considering them as a series of independent scattering regions associated with anchor groups and bridge. Single-molecule conductance measurements with substituted oligoynes demonstrate an exponential dependence of molecular conductance on the number of alkyne repeating units, allowing estimation of anchor and backbone parameters. The QCR accurately estimates the junction conductance of more complex molecular circuits formed from smaller components assembled in series, by utilizing these parameters in addition to previously determined ones.

Summary: Reversible conversion between excited states is crucial in various photophysical phenomena. By conducting experiments and calculations, we discovered that the energy gaps and barriers among the locally-excited and charge-transfer states in 1-(pyren-2'-yl)-o-carborane are negligible, making all three states accessible at room temperature. Furthermore, the internal-conversion and reverse internal-conversion processes occur much faster than radiative decay, resulting in the same lifetimes and thermodynamic equilibrium of the two states.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
