The synthesis and structural characterisation of new cationic and neutral (Ar‐BIAN)copper(I) [Ar‐BIAN = bis(aryl)acenaphthenequinonediimine] complexes containing phosphane and arsane ancillary ligands are described. Their behaviour as catalysts for cycloaddition reactions of alkynes and azides is presented.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted [Mo₃S₄(dmpe)₃Cl_3–x(dca)_x]PF₆ (x = 0–3) clusters that feature mixed chlorido/dicyanamido (dca) terminal ligands have been isolated. The ability to fine‐tune the physicochemical properties of Mo₃S₄⁴⁺ clusters upon stepwise dca incorporation is demonstrated.

Three soluble {Bi₃₈O₄₅} clusters with a nitrate/sulfonate periphery are reported, including the first example of an oxidobismuth cluster that is composed of positively and negatively charged species in the solid state. ESI‐MS data is indicative of a reversible exchange of ligands.

A series of dihydrogen complexes trans‐[Ru(η²‐H₂){SC(SR)H}(dppe)₂][X][BF₄] (R = CH₃, X = OTf; R = C₆H₅CH₂, X = BPh₄; R = H₂C=CHCH₂, X = BPh₄; dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) bearing sulfur‐donor ligands has been synthesized by protonation of the (alkyl dithioformate)hydrido complexes trans‐[Ru(H){SC(SR)H}(dppe)₂][X] by using HBF₄·Et₂O.

The propensity of 4,5‐diazafluoren‐9‐one to chelate through one short and one long bond allows the formation of an azide‐bridged tetranuclear Cu^II complex, which crystallises as a molecular mixture of two distortion isomers of the open bicubane type. Ferromagnetic interactions dominate in both isomers.

Linear heterometallic Co₃Li₂ and Co₄Li₂ arrays, (thf)Co[Co{μ‐(Ph₂SiO)₂O}{(μ‐Cl)₂Li(thf)₂}]₂ (5) and [Co₂(μ‐Cy₇Si₇O₁₂)(μ‐OSiMe₃)(μ‐Cl){Li(thf)₂}₂]₂ (6), were prepared and characterized. Plasma treatment of 5 was found to activate the surface by creating –C–O, –C=O, and –COO functionalities. An initial study revealed promising formaldehyde adsorption properties for the plasma‐treated material 5a.

New copper(II) Schiff base complexes with a 12‐membered central chelate ring, bearing the disiloxane moiety displaying a “shoulder yoke effect”, have been prepared and act as catalyst precursors for the aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde mediated by the TEMPO radical, reaching yields and TONs up to 99 % and 990, respectively, under mild conditions (50 °C; MeCN/H₂O, 1:1).

Luminescent ultrathin films (UTFs) based on the hybrid assemblies of Na₉[EuW₁₀O₃₆]·32H₂O (EuW₁₀), the photoactive organic molecule of bis(N‐methylacridinium) nitrate (BNMA), and exfoliated Mg₂Al‐LDH (layered double hydroxide) have been fabricated successfully. The alternative intercalation of EuW₁₀ and BNMA into LDHs results in well‐ordered UTFs with tunable color and orientation effect.

Printed nanoscaled cupric oxide (CuO) tracks with a line width of 100–150 μm were fabricated by inkjet printing using a molecular Schiff base copper complex as the sole precursor for ink formulation. Gas‐sensing studies at temperatures of 200 and 250 °C showed a sensitivity in the upper ppm level towards CO and H₂ of the nanoscaled CuO obtained from the molecular Cu precursor after calcination.

The interconversion of turnstile rotamers at silicon, readily occurring in solution, is frozen in the solid state. Therein, the pentacoordinate complexes featuring a homochiral backbone are reported as the first examples of cocrystallising rotamers at silicon.

Two luminescent terbium and europium lanthanide chelates were efficiently embedded into silica nanoparticles by using a reverse microemulsion process without covalent bonding. Efficiency and stability were investigated with an effective method based on a γ‐emitting europium (152) radioactive probe.

A one‐pot reaction of ditopic diaminotetraphenols with [MoO₂(acac)₂] (acac = acetylacetonate) produces novel dinuclear Mo^VI complexes with structural diversity. The complexes show good catalytic performance and selectivity in alcohol oxidation and moderate performance and good selectivity in epoxidation.

An energetic cation with a high heat of formation was prepared by the amination of 1‐amino‐1,2,3‐triazole. The 1,3‐diamino‐1,2,3‐triazolium cation obtained shows performances comparable to, or better than, the triaminoguanidinium cation commonly used in energetic salts.

Coupling XRD and X‐ray absorption spectroscopy techniques have shown that a biphasic fluorite Am‐bearing PuO₂ material is obtained following sintering in moisturized Ar/H₂. Heating of this sample in air ensured the formation of a substoichiometric fluorte Pu^+IV_0.80Am^+III/+IV_0.20O_1.98 solid solution.

Lewis acid–base adducts of boroles can be useful precursors for chemical derivatization of the borole system. This paper covers the synthesis of a series of borole‐derived Lewis acid–base adducts as well as a brief comparison of the relative Lewis acidity of 1‐mesityl‐2,3,4,5‐tetraphenylborole and 1,2,3,4,5‐pentaphenylborole.

Upon prolonged electrochemical cycling, the capacity of nanostructured and porous “Li₂Cu₄S₃” fades much faster than that of a compact material with the same composition.

A family of zinc ketoiminate, zinc phenoxide–ketoiminate and zinc alkoxide–ketoiminate complexes have been synthesized and characterized; their ability to polymerize rac‐lactide both in solution and in the melt are also described.
