A series of small coinage metal(I) clusters has been selectively synthesized using 2-(diphenylphosphino)-1,10-phenanthroline (L), a new promising dimetal-binding -ligand (L). Its reaction with CuI yields the complex [CuL(μ-I)][CuI], while the treatment of L with Au(tht)Cl/Ag or Au(tht)Cl/Cu systems leads to the assembly of [AuAgLCl], [AuCuLCl], [CuAuL] and [AgAuL] clusters. Theoretical analysis revealed pronounced intermetallic close shell interactions in these di- and trinuclear ensembles.

Thus, the use of such nanosystems offers a solution to the tasks set in biotechnology while maintaining high environmental standards using non-toxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable natural biopolymers. The physicochemical characteristics of nanocomposites were determined using a number of analytical methods (elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopic parameters of electron paramagnetic resonance, UV-visible, etc.

The transformations occur at room temperature in just 15-20 min, accompanied by a significant change in the observed phosphorescence. These findings provide a new insight into the design of luminescent networks with stimuli-switchable dimensionality.

The aim of the study was to determine if retinal arteriolar or venular abnormalities are an endophenotype of schizophrenia.
Design: We performed a one-time cross-sectional study.
