Summary: A catalytic method for synthesizing a variety of cyclometalated (C^N)gold(III) complexes is reported. The unprecedented Rh-to-Au(III) transmetalation allows for the easy transfer of (C^N) ligands between the two metals in a redox-neutral process. The reaction uses commercially available precursors and proceeds under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. Experimental and computational studies support a multi-step transmetalation mechanism from rhodium to gold as the underlying process for these transformations.

Summary: In this study, a series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type small molecules based on fluorene and diphenylethenyl enamine units were developed as hole transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells. The incorporation of malononitrile acceptor units not only improved carrier transportation efficiency but also passivated defects through Pb-N interactions. The HTM V1359 achieved a higher power conversion efficiency of over 22% compared to spiro-OMeTAD under the same conditions, demonstrating that HTMs prepared via simplified synthetic routes are not only a cost-effective alternative to spiro-OMeTAD but also exhibit superior efficiency and stability than materials obtained through expensive cross-coupling methods.

Summary: A dinuclear gold(I) complex with a strongly donating bis-N-heterocyclic imine ligand was synthesized and characterized. It showed highly selective anticancer effects against non-small cell lung cancer cells, particularly A549 cells. The anticancer effects were not correlated with the amount of gold uptake by the cells but correlated with its selective inhibition of cancer cells overexpressing a specific enzyme.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

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.
