To force metal ions in heterometallic coinage metal complexes into preset compartments, we have synthesized a ligand with two N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) separated by a methylene bridge and two bipyridine moieties tethered to each NHC moiety. By using this ligand, tetranuclear heterodimetallic gold/copper and gold/silver complexes were obtained. These complexes show an unprecedented V-shape or linear MAuM (M = Cu, Ag) configuration in the solid state. The photophysical properties of the new compounds are significantly affected by the complexed metal ions.

An essential feature of coinage metal nanoclusters (NCs) is their photoluminescence (PL), which spans a wide range of wavelengths from visible to near-infrared regions (NIR-I/II). A key challenge for synthetic chemists is to develop materials capable of efficient spectral change with maximum efficiency. Herein, we report novel dithiolate-protected bimetallic Pd-Ag NCs of the type [PdAgS{SP(OR)}] (R = Pr, 1Pr and Bu, 1Bu) and [PdAgS{SP(OBu)}] (2Bu).

Metal hydrides are sensitive to HO and O, which reduces the atom efficiency of the hydride donors. Silver (Ag) is an inexpensive coinage metal; however, its lower activity compared to gold, platinum, and palladium limits its application in catalytic hydrogenation. Here, electron-deficient metallic single-atom Ag (AgSA) was loaded onto γ-AlO using a benzoquinone- and KNO- assisted photolysis approach.

Punch-marked coins (PMCs) are the oldest coins in India and among the most widely circulated globally, often found in hoards that highlight their extensive use. This study utilizes X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze the surface elemental composition and chemical properties of nine series (S-0 to S-VIII) of Janapada (S-0) and imperial PMCs (S-1 to S-VIII) dating from 600 to 200 BCE, housed in the Numismatic Society of India at BHU, Varanasi, based on the Gupta-Hardakar classification related to the PMCs. XRD results reveal four prominent diffraction peaks corresponding to metallic silver (Ag) in the face-centred cubic (fcc) phase, with a slight variation in d-spacing (∼ 0.

Article Synopsis
- - Density functional theory is used to study how different metal dopants influence thiolate-protected transition metal nanoclusters for CO reduction, especially looking at a key relationship between COOH* and CO* that affects selectivity.
- - The research involves identifying optimal positions for dopants in various nanoclusters and examining the potential for ligand removal, leading to the development of an "activity volcano" for CO production in doped nanoclusters.
- - The findings indicate that coinage metal nanoclusters with group 12 metal dopants show notable deviations from traditional scaling relations, leading to stronger COOH* binding and making them strong candidates for efficient syngas production.

Metal-ligand cooperation (MLC) is an essential strategy in transition metal catalysis. Traditional NH-based and OH-based MLC catalysts, as well as the later developed (de)aromatization strategy, have been widely applied in atom-economic borrowing hydrogen/hydrogen auto-transfer (BH/HA) reactions. However, these conventional MLC approaches are challenging for low-coordination and low-activity coinage metal complexes, arising from the instability during (de)protonation on the coordination atom, the constraint in linear coordination, and possible poisoning due to extra functional sites.
