The synthesis and characterization of gold(I) complexes of butyl xanthate [Au(2)((n)()Bu-xanthate)(2)], 1, and ethyl xanthate [Au(2)(Et-xanthate)(2)], 2, are described. These complexes are readily prepared from the reaction between Au(THT)Cl (THT = tetrahydrothiophene) and the corresponding xanthate ligands as the potassium salts. The two xanthate complexes are characterized by (1)H NMR, IR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and UV-vis techniques. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) show that the gold xanthate complexes decompose to yield mainly gold metal at approximately 200 degrees C, confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction. Excitation of the complexes at 450 nm in the solid state at 77 K produces a strong red emission at ca. 690 nm with a broad asymmetric profile tailing to 850 nm. The dinuclear gold(I) xanthate complex, [Au(2)(nBu-xanthate)(2)], 1, is the first structurally characterized binary Au(I) xanthate. The Au...Au distance in the eight-membered ring is 2.8494(15) A while the shortest intermolecular Au...Au interaction between independent units is 3.64 A. The angle between the planes containing the molecules in the unit cell is approximately 69.56 degrees. The light green plates of [Au(mu-S(2)COBu(n))](2) crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2 with a = 37.254(14) A, b = 7.287(3) A, c = 6.054(2) A, alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees, Z = 4, and V = 1643.4(11) A(3).

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising treatment modality for breast cancer; however, its effectiveness is often impeded by the hypoxic tumor microenvironment owing to an insufficient oxygen supply in the solid tumors. To overcome this challenge, we elaborately developed a 4T1 tumor-targeted multifunctional nanoagent by integrating both dendrimer-structured copper chelating agents and organic sonosensitizers (IR820) into a biotin-modified nanoliposome via a microfluidic-assisted self-assembly. In particular, the aforementioned copper chelating agent was constructed by introducing multiple xanthate groups into a dendrimer polymer, which showed a significant selectivity for the consumption of the intracellular copper levels.

Novel bis(nitroepoxides) were prepared based on terephthaldehyde and isophthaladehyde and their reactions with diversities of nucleophiles such as primary and secondary amine-based dithiocarbamic acids, xanthates, and ammonia-based dithiocarbmamates were investigated for the synthesis of bis(thiazolidine-2-thiones), bis(dithiocarbamates), bis(xanthates) and bis(thiazoles), respectively. It provides simple access to complex molecules in one step in high to excellent yields.

Article Synopsis
- In mining areas, flotation reagents like ethyl xanthate (EX) can affect how heavy metals, such as cadmium (Cd²⁺), move through soil, but many studies overlook this interaction.
- This study created a reactive transport model to explore how EX influences cadmium retention and migration in soils, finding that higher amounts of EX lead to better retention of Cd²⁺, especially at higher pH levels.
- The research emphasizes the importance of considering flotation reagents and soil conditions in managing heavy metal pollution, revealing that EX can significantly impact cadmium's behavior in the environment.

The chemical properties of polymorphic compounds are highly dependent on their stoichiometry and atomic arrangements, making certain phases technologically more important. Selective development of these phases is challenging. This study introduces a method where chalcogenide atoms from metal chalcogenides are chemically extracted by trioctylphosphine (TOP) and substituted with phosphide.

Xanthates, common mining flotation reagents, strongly bind thiophilic metals such as copper (Cu), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and zinc (Zn) and consequentially change their bioavailability and mobility upon their discharge into the environment. However, accurate quantification of the metal-xanthate complexes has remained elusive. This study develops a novel and robust method that realizes the accurate quantification of the metal-xanthate complexes resulted from single and multiple reactions of three typical xanthates (ethyl, isopropyl, and butyl xanthates) and four thiophilic metals (Cu, Pb, Cd, and Zn) in water samples.
