Nanoformulations of mononuclear Pt complexes cis-PtCl (PPh ) (1), [Pt(PPh ) (L-Cys)] ⋅ H O (3, L-Cys=L-cysteinate), trans-PtCl (PPh PhNMe ) (4; PPh PhNMe =4-(dimethylamine)triphenylphosphine), trans-PtI (PPh PhNMe ) (5) and dinuclear Pt cluster Pt (μ-S) (PPh ) (2) have comparable cytotoxicity to cisplatin against murine melanoma cell line B16F10. Masking of these discrete molecular entities within the hydrophobic core of Pluronic® F-127 significantly boosted their solubility and stability, ensuring efficient cellular uptake, giving in vitro IC values in the range of 0.87-11.23 μM. These results highlight the potential therapeutic value of Pt complexes featuring stable Pt-P bonds in nanocomposite formulations with biocompatible amphiphilic polymers.

iClick reactions between Au(I) acetylides PPhAu-C≡CR, where R = nitrophenyl (PhNO), phenyl (Ph), thiophene (Th), bithiophene (biTh), and dimethyl aniline (PhNMe), and Au(I)-azide PPhAuN provide digold complexes of the general formula -1,5-bis-triphenylphosphinegold(I) 1,2,3-triazolate (). Within the digold triazolate complexes the Au(I) atoms are held in close proximity but beyond the distance typically observed for aurophilic bonding. Though no bond exists in the ground state, time-dependent density functional theory interrogation of the complexes reveals excited states with significant aurophilic bonding.
