Summary: In this paper, a straightforward synthesis method for NHC-coated gold nanoparticles (NHC-AuNPs) is reported. The commercially available gold(I) precursor is treated with an easy-to-synthesize NHC-BH3 reagent, serving as both the reducing agent and the source of surface ligands. The strategy allows efficient control over the nucleation and growth of gold particles, resulting in a wide range of particle size variation from 4.9±0.9 to 10.0±2.7 nm. The NHC-AuNPs obtained exhibit narrow size distributions, stability over months, and do not require extensive purification or size-selectivity techniques.

Summary: This study investigates a series of phosphorescent gold(III) complexes with tunable emission colors in poly(methyl methacrylate) by varying the ligand framework, showing high quantum efficiencies and long excited-state lifetimes. The contribution of the gold(III) metal center in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals is significant, and the radiative rate constant values are among the highest compared to previously known complexes. Organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated to provide insights into the electroluminescent properties of this new class of gold(III) complexes.

Summary: The sterically demanding carbene ITr was used as a ligand to prepare luminescent copper(I) complexes with a series of pyridine and quinoline derivatives forming linear, bis(coordinated) complexes. These complexes exhibit weak emission in solution, but intense blue to orange luminescence in PMMA films doped with 10%, showcasing triplet excited states or TADF with high radiative rate constants at room temperature.Density functional theory and multireference configuration interaction calculations were performed to explain the photophysics of these complexes, revealing a high density of low-lying electronic states with mixed MLCT, LLCT, and LC character.

Summary: In this study, gold nanoparticles were functionalized with natural abundance and C-13-labeled N-heterocyclic carbenes to investigate the Au-C stretch. A combination of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations highlighted the vibrational modes significantly impacted by isotopic labeling at the carbene carbon. Critically, none of the isotopically-impacted stretching modes showed majority Au-C character.

Summary: The formation of sterically hindered C-C double bonds through catalytic olefin metathesis is a challenging task for Ru catalysts. To overcome this limitation, a new NHC ligand was designed, which reduced the susceptibility of small-size NHC catalysts to decomposition. The resulting isomeric complexes exhibited similar high thermodynamic stability but different application profiles in catalysis.

Summary: Magnetically induced ring currents are calculated using the Ampere-Maxwell law, and the feasibility of the method is demonstrated by integrating the shielding tensor components along the symmetry axis of highly symmetric molecules. The method can be used in combination with electronic structure codes capable of calculating NMR shielding tensors, and nucleus independent chemical shifts are related to the spatial derivative of the global ring-current strength along the z axis.

Summary: We describe the synthesis of a novel heterogenous non-noble metal catalyst based on a well-defined phosphine-tagged cobalt corrole complex. The active material is obtained through wet-impregnation of the relevant metal macrocycle onto carbon black followed by controlled pyrolysis under an inert gas atmosphere. The resulting catalyst was successfully used for the hydrogenation of various nitroarenes, yielding valuable aniline derivatives.

Summary: In this work, the concept of spin-orbit (SO) electronegativity of heavy elements is introduced, and its impact on chemical bonds and spectroscopic properties in heavy-element compounds is explored. The interpretation of these effects is provided using the concept of spin-orbit electron deformation density (SO-EDD). The changes in interatomic distance and atomic electronegativity induced by spin-orbit coupling are quantified and demonstrated across the periodic table of elements.

Summary: This study reports the preparation and characterization of six easily assembled silver complexes and investigates the influence of ligand electronic properties on their performance in CO2 reduction. All the catalysts showed significant current enhancements in CO2-saturated solvents, without concurrent hydrogen evolution when using 2% H2O as a proton source. Preliminary studies demonstrated a promising Faradaic efficiency of 51% for CO at a current density of 50 mA cm(-2) when using a high-loading catalyst as an electrode in a flow cell with suitable electrolyte conditions.

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.
