[Pt(NCN)MeCN] (NCN = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene, MeCN = acetonitrile) forms oligomers in the ground state due to metallophilic interactions, and a Pt-Pt bond is formed with photoexcitation. Ultrafast excited-state dynamics of the [Pt(NCN)MeCN] dimer in acetonitrile is investigated by femtosecond time-resolved absorption (TA) and picosecond emission spectroscopy. The femtosecond TA signals exhibit 60 cm oscillations arising from the Pt-Pt stretching motion in the S dimer. The excited-state absorption in the 500-700 nm region increases with time constants of 0.3, 1.4, and 9.4 ps, which are assigned to contraction of the Pt-Pt distance, structural change in the S dimer, and S → T intersystem crossing, respectively. The 1.4 ps structural change is attributed to torsional structural relaxation proceeding in the S dimer based on the computation, which indicates that a torsional angle around the Pt-Pt bond in the S dimer is widely distributed around two potential minima, whereas that of the S dimer has much narrower distributions around noticeably different torsional angles.

Developing ethanol oxidation electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity, durability, and resistance to CO poisoning remains a major challenge. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with unique physical and chemical properties have garnered substantial attention. Herein, a class of HEA nanodendrites are designed by a simple wet-chemical method.

Post-synthetic modification of mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) is an attractive avenue to add complexity to already intricate systems. This remains an important, challenging topic that is under-developed. In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of a [2]rotaxane molecule featuring a ring appended to an emissive cyclometalated Pt unit.

Maximizing platinum's atomic utilization and understanding the anchoring mechanism between platinum moieties and their supports are crucial for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Using density functional theory, we investigate the catalyst of a Pt monolayer on the two-dimensional MoTiC substrate (Pt/MoTiC) for the reaction. This Pt monolayer shows a Pt(111)-like pattern, with its Pt-Pt bond elongated by about 0.
