The hexarhenium cluster complexes with benzotriazolate apical ligands [{Re6(μ3-Q)8}(BTA)6](4-) (Q = S, Se; BTA = benzotriazolate ion) were obtained by the reaction of [{Re6(μ3-Q)8}(OH)6](4-) with molten 1H-BTA (1H-benzotriazole). The clusters were crystallized as potassium salts and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, elemental analyses, and UV-vis and luminescence spectroscopy. In addition, their cellular uptake and toxicity were evaluated. It was found that both clusters exhibited luminescence with high lifetimes and quantum yield values; they were taken up by the cells illuminating them under UV irradiation and, at the same time, did not exhibit acute cytotoxic effects.

The present work demonstrates the structure variation of hexarhenium anionic cluster units [{ReS}(CN)(OH)] (n = 0, 2, 4) as the strategy to develop Mn-containing nanoparticles (NPs) exhibiting pH-dependent leaching. The dicyanotetrahydroxo complex [{ReS}(CN)(OH)] is the optimal for the synthesis of the Mn-based NPs with a lamellar shape exhibiting the pH-dependent aggregation and magnetic relaxation behavior. The pH-dependent behavior of the NPs derives from the easy protonation of the apical hydroxo ligands of [{ReS}(CN)(OH)] cluster, which triggers partial leaching of Mn ions and aggregation of the NPs driven by the surface neutralization.

The present work introduces a simple, electrostatically driven approach to engineered nanomaterial built from the highly cytotoxic [AuL] complex (Au, L = 1,5-bis(p-tolyl)-3,7-bis(pyridine-2-yl)-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane (PNNP) ligand) and the pH-sensitive red-emitting [{ReQ}(OH)] (Re-Q, Q = S or Se) cluster units. The protonation/deprotonation of the Re-Q unit is a prerequisite for the pH-triggered assembly of Au and Re-Q into AuRe-Q colloids, exhibiting disassembly in acidic (pH = 4.5) conditions modeling a lysosomal environment.

A novel one-dimensional (1D) hybrid {[ReS(PzH)][PbI(DMF)]}·6(DMF) with hexarhenium cluster cations has been synthesized and characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Two DMF oxygen atoms bridge three lead iodides to form a set of lead iodides, {[PbII(O)][PbI(O)][PbII(O)]}, and these sets of lead iodide share edges to form a 1D lead iodide chain, [PbI(DMF)] which has never been reported before and is different from the typical edge sharing of octahedral PbI units. 1D lead iodide chains are stacked along the axis, and [ReS(PzH)] cations with H-bonded DMF molecules to pyrazole N-H reside between 1D lead iodide chains.

A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a solar-light harvesting device that concentrates light on a photovoltaic cell placed at the edge of an LSC panel to convert it into electricity. The nano-sized inorganic-organic cluster complex (dMDAEMA)[ReS(NCS)] (this refers to RMC where dMDAEMA is 2-dimethyl amino ethyl methacrylate) is a promising candidate for LSC luminophores due to its downshifted broad photoluminescence suitable for photovoltaic cells. However, the low quantum yield (QY) of RMC limits the performance.
