The past decade has seen a diverse range of breakthrough inventions that are derived from
gold complexes, including the application of aurophilic interactions in the preparation of …

The last two decades have seen a veritable explosion in the use of gold (I) complexes
bearing N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and phosphine (PR3) ligands. Both ligand families …

Copper subgroup metal ions in the+ 1 oxidation state are classical candidates for
aggregation via non-covalent metal–metal interactions, which are supported by a number of …

Group 11 metal complexes with their ability to form metallophilic interations are widely
pursued to develop multifunctional luminescent materials. Heteronuclear coinage metal …

Materials showing metallophilic interactions continue to attract considerable theoretical and
experimental attention largely because of their unusual and unanticipated photophysical …

We present the synthesis and characterization of two series of mononuclear heteroleptic
anionic cycloplatinated (II) complexes featuring terminal cyanide ligand Q+ [Pt (C^ N)(p …

Coinage bonds, a type of noncovalent interaction, occur between group 11 elements (Au,
Ag, and Cu) with electron donor groups. Despite theoretical validation, empirical evidence …

Transition metal complexes of copper subgroup metals are actively studied objects for
temperature sensors. Their luminescence arising from the 3 ILCT, 3 MLCT or 3 CC excited …

Trinuclear complex [Au2Ag (dppmaphen) 2 (CN) 2] PF6 photoluminesces on exposure to
low molecular weight alcohols. This emission is likely due to C–H⋯ π interactions between …

We report herein a porous supramolecular framework formed by a linear mononuclear Au (I)
complex (1) via the tongue-and-groove-like joinery between the pentiptycene U-cavities …
