This article describes the structural authentication of a unique triply bridged [1](ClO) and monomeric [2]ClO/[3]ClO. Electrochemical HER on a carbon cloth support demonstrated the superior performance of [1](ClO) with high TON (>10) and its long-term stability. The primary kinetic isotope effect of [1](ClO) revealed the involvement of PCET in the rate-determining step.

π-Conjugated chiral shape-persistent molecular nanocarbons hold great potential as chiroptical materials, though their synthesis remains a considerable challenge. Here, we present a simple approach using Suzuki coupling of a [5]helicene building block with various aromatic units, enabling the one-pot synthesis of a series of chiral macrocycles with persistent figure-eight and Möbius shapes. Single-crystal structures of 7 compounds were solved, and 22 enantiomers were separated by preparative chiral HPLC.

A new single-molecule magnet (SMM) complex [K(18-crown-6)][(COT)Er(µ-Cl)Er(COT)] (ErCl, COT = cyclooctatetraenide dianion) is obtained by the reaction of [(COT)Er(µ-Cl)(THF)] (ErCl, THF = tetrahydrofuran) with an equivalent of KCl in the presence of 18-crown-6. The two COT-Er units in the newly formed complex are triply bridged by µ-Cl ligands, leading to the "head-to-tail" alignment of the magnetic easy axes distinctly different from the "staggered" arrangement in the precursor complex. This structural transformation has led to significantly enhanced intramolecular dipolar interactions and a reduced transverse component of the crystal fields, increasing the energy barrier from 150(8) K for ErCl to 264(4) K for ErCl and extending its magnetic relaxation time at 2 K by 2500 times with respect to ErCl.

Mixed-ligand and mixed-metal trinuclear complexes bearing two {Pt-bisNHC-C1} moieties, [{Pt(bisNHC-C1)}(ML)(μ-S)] (ML = Pt(bisNHC-C2), = 2; ML = Pt(bisNHC-C3), = 2; ML = Rh(cod), = 1; ML = RhCp*, = 2), where bisNHC-C1, bisNHC-C2 and bisNHC-C3 represent methylene-, ethylene- and propylene-bridged bis-NHC ligands, respectively, were synthesised and structurally characterised. Reactions of these complexes with a half eq. of Ag(i) ions were examined using H and Pt NMR spectroscopy.
