Nanostructured copper sulfides, promising earth-abundant p-type semiconductors, have found applications in a wide range of fields due to their versatility, tunable low bandgap, and environmental sustainability. The synthesis of hexagonal Cu S @Au S@Au nanorings exhibiting plasmon enhanced emissions at the direct bandgap is reported. The synthesized Cu S @Au S@Au nanorings show greatly enhanced absorption and emission by local plasmons compared to pure copper sulfide nanoparticles.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) holds great promise for the rapid and sensitive detection of biomolecules, but its precise detection of small molecule metabolites is hindered by severe background interference from the organic matrix in the low molecular weight range. To address this issue, nanomaterials have commonly been utilized as substrates in LDI-MS. Among them, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), known for their unique optical absorption and structural properties, have garnered significant attention.

Auranofin is an inhibitor of human thioredoxin reductase, clinically used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. More recently, it has been shown to possess strong antibacterial activity. Despite the structural dissimilarity and the independent evolutionary origins of human thioredoxin reductase and its bacterial counterpart (TrxB), inhibition of bacterial thioredoxin reductase is often suggested to be a major factor in auranofin's antibacterial mode of action.

The rising demand for gold requires innovative methods for its recovery from e-waste. Here we present the synthesis of two tetrazine-based vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks: TTF-COF and TPE-COF that adsorb gold ions and nanoparticles and catalyze the carboxylation of terminal alkynes. These covalent organic frameworks have low band gaps and high photocurrent responses.

During our studies of the oxidation of gold(I) complexes of tri-alkyl-phosphane chalcogenides, general formula PAu, ( = -butyl or isopropyl, = S or Se, = Cl or Br) with PhICl or elemental bromine, we have isolated a set of seven mixed-valence by-products, the bis-(tri-alkyl-phosphane chalcogenido)gold(I) tetra-halogenidoaurates(III) [( P)Au][Au ]. These corres-pond to the addition of one halogen atom per gold atom of the Au precursor. Com-pound , bis-(triiso-propyl-phosphane sulfide)-gold(I) tetra-chlorido-aur-ate(III), [Au(CHPS)][AuCl] or [( PrPS)Au][AuCl], crystallizes in space group 2/ with = 4; the gold(I) atoms of the two cations lie on twofold rotation axes, and the gold(III) atoms of the two anions lie on inversion centres.
