Double chloride abstraction from Cp*SbCl2 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) affords an arene-stabilized η5-Cp*-bound antimony dicationic compound [(η5-Cp*)Sb(tol)][B(C6F5)4]2 (1) (tol = toluene), which exhibits strong Lewis acidity, abstracting chloride from Ph3CCl. 1 reacts with different Lewis bases via divergent pathways, giving rise to release of either Sb+ or Sb3+ cations.

Accurately identifying the metal doping effects within heterogeneous catalysts presents a formidable challenge due to the complex nature of controlling the interfacial chemistry at the molecular level. Herein, we use two sets of atomically precise nanoclusters to demonstrate the impact of Sb doping on the electrocatalytic CO reduction activity in Ag nanoclusters. Leveraging the unique properties of the thiacalix[4]arene, we have pioneered a methodology for incorporating catalytic Ag and Sb sites, culminating in the synthesis of the pioneering Sb-Ag bimetallic cluster, .

Skillfully engineering surface ligands at specific sites within robust clusters presents both a formidable challenge and a captivating opportunity. Herein we unveil an unprecedented titanium-oxo cluster: a calix[8]arene-stabilized metallamacrocycle (TiL), uniquely crafted through the fusion of four "core-shell" {Ti@(TBC[8])(L)} subunits with four oxalate moieties. Notably, this cluster showcases an exceptional level of chemical stability, retaining its crystalline integrity even when immersed in highly concentrated acid (1 M HNO) and alkali (20 M NaOH).

We report a chiral deep cavitand receptor based on calix[5]arene stabilized by a cooperative network of hydrogen bonds and having a highly flexible structure. The cavitand displays enantioselective molecular recognition with a series of chiral quaternary ammonium salts, providing unprecedented stability ratios between the corresponding diastereomeric host-guest complexes. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborate the higher flexibility of the new host and the emergence of superior induced-fit behavior with regards to resorcin[4]arene derived self-folding cavitands.

Recent synthetic approaches to a series of [P] salts ( = [F{Al(OR)}], [Al(OR)], and (R = C(CF)); GaCl) overcome limitations in classical synthesis methods that proved unsuitable for phosphorus cations. These salts contain the homopolyatomic cation [P] via (I) oxidation of P with NO[F{Al(OR)}], (II) the arene-stabilized Co(I) sandwich complex [Co(arene)][Al(OR)] [arene = -difluorobenzene (-DFB) and fluorobenzene (FB)], or (III) the reduction of [PCl][GaCl] with Ga[GaCl] as Ga(I) source in the presence of P. Quantum chemical CCSD(T) calculations suggest that [P] formation from [Co(arene)] occurs via the nido-type cluster [(-DFB)CoP], which resembles the isoelectronic, elusive [P].

Bis-propargylcalix[4]arene-stabilized silver nanoparticles (BPCA-Ag NPs), as a chemosensor for detecting an isocarbophos (ICP) pesticide in an aqueous medium, are reported in this work. The nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques. It was observed that the BPCA-Ag NPs had a high selectivity for isocarbophos with a detection limit of 1.
