Three novel dinuclear bis-dicarbene silver(i) complexes of general formula [Ag2(MeIm-phenylene-MeIm)2](PF6)2 (Im = imidazol-2-ylidene) were synthesized. The corresponding copper(i) and gold(i) complexes were obtained by transmetalation of the di(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand from the silver(i) species, and both coordination geometry and stoichiometry are maintained for all three group 11 metals as expected. The photophysical properties of the Ag(i) and Au(i) complexes were also investigated and discussed; in particular the most strongly emitting complex was also studied via DFT calculations. In addition, the ruthenium(ii) and iridium(iii) complexes [RuCl(MeIm-(o-phenylene)-MeIm)(p-cym)](PF6) and [IrClCp*(MeIm-(o-phenylene)-MeIm)](PF6) were prepared and shown to present in these cases a chelating coordination of the di(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand.

Divergent Synthesis of Axially Chiral 2-Pyranones and Fused 2-Pyridones via -Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Atroposelective [3 + 3] Annulation.

An -heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed atroposelective [3 + 3] annulation of alkynyl acylazoliums with benzothiazole derivatives has been developed for the divergent synthesis of axially chiral triaryl 2-pyranones and fused 2-pyridones. The regioselectivity of this protocol depends on the structure of benzothiazoles with three different nucleophilic centers. The obtained axially chiral frameworks represent a new class of arylheterocycle atropisomers, which may be potentially useful in medicinal chemistry.

Open metal sites are crucial in catalysis. We have used a "loose coordination strategy" (LCS) to preorganize open metal sites in gold cluster catalysts. A gold nanocluster with composition of [Au26(3,4-Me2-Ph-form)9(iPr2-imy)3(Me2S)](BF4)2(iPr2-imy = 1,3-Diisopropylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, 3,4-Me2-Ph-form = N,N'-Di(3,4-dimethyl-phenyl)formamidine) (Au26) has been obtained by one pot synthesis, i.

A series of significantly bulky mono- and di-substituted cyclic alkyl-amino carbene (cAAC)- functionalized cyclopentadiene ring (Cp) compounds were synthesized. The functionalization of the Cp ring with cAAC ligands makes them significantly bulkier, while retaining their ligation properties. These compounds display interesting fluorescence properties.

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography has enabled significant reductions in device dimensions but is often limited by capillary force-driven pattern collapse in conventional wet processes. Recent dry-development approaches, while promising, frequently require toxic etchants or specialized equipment, limiting their broader applicability and highlighting the need for more sustainable, cost-effective alternatives. In this study, highly reactive, etchant-free dry-developable EUV photoresists using N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based metal-ligand complexes, achieving half-saturation at EUV doses of 8.

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-protected gold nanoclusters display high stability and high photoluminescence, making them well-suited for fluorescence imaging and photodynamic therapeutic applications. We report herein the synthesis of two bisNHC-protected Au nanoclusters with π-extended aromatic systems. Depending on the position of the π-extended aromatic system, changes to the structure of the ligand shell in the cluster are observed, with the ability to correlate increases in rigidity with increases in fluorescence quantum yield.
