The reaction of [(3-bdppmapy)(AuCl)] with NaHmna (3-bdppmapy = N,N'-bis-(diphenylphosphanylmethyl-3-aminopytidine, Hmna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid)) resulted in a tetranuclear Au-P-S complex [(3-bdppmapy)(AuHmna)(AuCl)] () which emitted bright yellow fluorescence at 542 nm under 377 nm excitation (QY = 5.3%, = 0.83 ns).

Ligands combining two lateral bis-pyridyl-phosphonated-pyclens were synthesized, using a flexible linear pegylated linker (L2) or a bulkier K22 crown-ether (L3). A functionalized pyridyl-phosphonated-pyclen (L1) was also prepared as a mononuclear analogue. Coordination behavior of lanthanide cations was studied via NMR titration with Lu for L1, and UV/Vis and luminescence spectroscopy with Yb for L2/L3.

Macrocyclic Cu(I)-pyrazolate tetramers (Cupz) can fold into compact structures with luminescent Cu cores whose emission wavelengths are sensitive to steric effects along the periphery of the macrocycle. Introducing CF at the C4 position of 3,5-di-Bu-pyrazolate increases steric crowding that modifies the conformational behavior of the Cupz complex, highlighted by a low-temperature martensitic transition. Variable-temperature analysis of solid-state luminescence reveal an unexpected blueshifting of emission with rising temperature.

The heterometallic [Ag(I)/Fe(II)] molecular electrocatalysts for hydrogen production were introduced here to recognize the mutual role of metallic nuclearity and ligand engineering. A series of ferrocenyl dithiophosphonate stabilized mononuclear [Ag(PPh){SPFc(OR)}] {where R=Me (1), Et (2), Pr (3), Pr (4), Amyl (5); Fc=Fe (ɳ-CH) (ɳ-CH)} and dinuclear [Ag(PPh){SPFc(OR}] {where R=Et (2 a), and Pr (3 a)} complexes were synthesized and characterized by SCXRD, NMR (P and H), ESI-MS, UV-Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The comparative electrocatalytic HER behavior of 1-5 and 2 a-3 a showed effective current density of 1 mA/cm with overpotentials ranging from 772 to 991 mV, demonstrating the influence of extended and branched carbon chains in dithiophosphonates and metallic (mono-/di-) nuclearity, which correlates with documented tetra-nuclear [Ag(SPFc(OPr)], 6.

The development of Zn-based phosphorescent materials, associated with a ligand-centered (LC) transition, is extremely limited. Herein, we demonstrated dual emissions including fluorescence and phosphorescence in luminescent tetranuclear Zn(II) clusters [ZnL(μ-OMe)X] ( = methyl-5-iode-3-methoxysalicylate; X = I, Br, Cl), incorporating iodine-substituted ligands. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses and variable-temperature emission spectra studies revealed the presence of iodine substitutions, and intermolecular halogen interactions produced the internal/external heavy-atom effects and yielded strong green phosphorescence with a long emission lifetime (λ = 510-522 nm, Φ = 0.
