Abstract
This work describes the synthesis of group 11 metal trimethylsilylchalcogenolate complexes [(ITr)M-ESiMe3] stabilized by the large NHC ligand bis-1,3-tritylimidazole-2-ylidene (ITr). The thiolates and selenolates of Cu, Ag, and Au are accessed from either [(ITr)MOAc] (M = Cu, Ag) and E(SiMe3)2 or [(ITr)AuCl] and Li[ESiMe3] (E = S, Se). All complexes were characterized spectroscopically and, for the copper coordination compounds, via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Abstract
Highly accelerated inverse-electron-demand strain-promoted alkyne-nitrone cycloaddition (IED SPANC) between a stable cyclooctyne (bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne (BCN)) and nitrones delocalized into a Cα-pyridinium functionality is reported, with the most electron-deficient "pyridinium-nitrone" displaying among the most rapid cycloadditions to BCN that is currently reported. Density functional theory (DFT) and X-ray crystallography are explored to rationalize the effects of N- and Cα-substituent modifications at the nitrone on IED SPANC reaction kinetics and the overall rapid reactivity of pyridinium-delocalized nitrones.

Abstract
The use of reagents containing bonds between group 14 elements and Se or Te for the self-assembly of polynuclear metal–chalcogen compounds is covered. Background material is briefly reviewed and examples from the literature are highlighted from the period 2007–2017. Emphasis is placed on the different classes of 14–16 precursors and their application in the targeted synthesis of metal–chalcogen compounds. The unique properties arising from the combination of specific 14–16 precursors, metal atoms, and ancillary ligands are also described. Selected examples are chosen to underline the progress in (i) controlled synthesis of heterometallic (ternary) chalcogen clusters, (ii) chalcogen clusters with organic functionalized surfaces, and (iii) crystalline open-framework metal chalcogenides.

Abstract
Systematic 111Cd solid-state (SS) NMR experiments were performed to correlate X-ray crystallographic data with SSNMR parameters for a set of CdS-based materials, varying from molecular crystals of small complexes [Cd(SPh)4]2- and [Cd4(SPh)10]2- to superlattices of large monodisperse clusters [Cd54S32(SPh)48(dmf)4]4- and 1.9 nm CdS. Methodical data analysis allowed for assigning individual resonances or resonance groups to particular types of cadmium sites residing in different chemical and/or crystallographic environments. For large CdS frameworks, 111Cd resonances were found to form three groups. This result is noteworthy, since for related systems with size polydispersity and variations in composition, such as CdS or CdSe nanoparticles protected with an organic ligand shell, typically only two groups of resonances were observed. The generalized information obtained in this work can be used for the interpretation of 111/113Cd SSNMR data for large CdS clusters and nanoparticles, for which crystal structure analysis remains inaccessible. Comparison of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns for freshly prepared and dried superlattices of large CdS clusters revealed an interesting superstructure rearrangement that was not observed for the smaller frameworks.

Abstract
The N-heterocyclic carbenes IPr (IPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) and iPr2-bimy (iPr2-bimy = 1,3-di-isopropylbenzimidazole-2-ylidene) were utilized as a basis for the preparation of four gold–silylphosphido complexes: [(IPr)AuP(Ph)SiMe3] (1), [(IPr)AuP(SiMe3)2] (2), [(iPr2-bimy)AuP(Ph)SiMe3] (3), and [(iPr2-bimy)AuP(SiMe3)2] (4). These complexes represent rare examples of terminally bonded Au–PR2 and the first examples where phosphorus retains reactive P-SiMe3 moieties. The reactivity of the P–Si bonds in 1 and 3 was explored via the addition of PhC(O)Cl. The products of these reactions were the formation of the phosphido-bridged [(IPrAu)2(μ-PPhC(O)Ph)][AuCl2] (5) and, in the case of the smaller N-heterocyclic carbenes, the tertiary phosphine PPh(C(O)Ph)2 (6) was isolated together with the known gold complex [(iPr2-bimy)AuCl]. Both reactions proceed via the elimination of ClSiMe3.

Abstract
Ferrocene-based phosphines constitute an important auxiliary ligand in inorganic chemistry. Utilizing the (ferrocenylethyl)phosphines (FcCH2CH2)3-nHnP (Fc = ferrocenyl; n = 2, 1; n = 1, 2; n = 0, 3) the synthesis of a series of coordination complexes [(FcCH2CH2)3-nHnPCuCl]4 (n = 2, 1-CuCl; n = 0, 3-CuCl), [(FcCH2CH2)2HPCuCl] (2-CuCl), {[(FcCH2CH2)H2P]2AgCl}2 (1-AgCl), [(FcCH2CH2)2HPAgCl] (2-AgCl), [(FcCH2CH2)3PAgCl]4 (3-AgCl), [(FcCH2CH2)3PM(OAc)]4 (M = Cu, 3-CuOAc M = Ag, 3-AgOAc), [(FcCH2CH2)3-nHnPAuCl] (n = 1, 2-AuCl; n = 0, 3-AuCl), via the reaction between the free phosphine and MX (M = Cu, Ag and Au; X = Cl, OAc), is described. The reaction between the respective phosphine with a suspension of metal-chloride or -acetate in a 1 : 1 ratio in THF at ambient temperature affords coordinated phosphine-coinage metal complexes. Varying structural motifs are observed in the solid state, as determined via single crystal X-ray analysis of 1-CuCl, 3-CuCl, 1-AgCl, 3-AgCl, 3-CuOAc, 3-AgOAc, 2-AuCl and 3-AuCl. Complexes 1-CuCl and 3-CuCl are tetrameric Cu(i) cubane-like structures with a Cu4Cl4 core, whereas silver complexes with primary and tertiary phosphine reveal two different structural types. The structure of 1-AgCl, unlike the rest, displays the coordination of two phosphines to each silver atom and shows a quadrangle defined by two Ag and two Cl atoms. In contrast, 3-AgCl is distorted from a cubane structure via elongation of one of the ClAg distances. 3-CuOAc and 3-AgOAc are isostructural with step-like cores, while complexes 2-AuCl and 3-AuCl reveal a linear geometry of a phosphine gold(i) chloride devoid of any aurophilic interactions. All of the complexes were characterized in solution by multinuclear (1)H, (13)C{(1)H} and (31)P NMR spectroscopic techniques; the redox chemistry of the series of complexes was examined using cyclic voltammetry. This class of complexes has been found to exhibit one reversible Fe(ii)/Fe(iii) oxidation couple, suggesting the absence of electronic communication between the ferrocenyl units on individual phosphine ligands as well as between different phosphines on the polymetallic cores.

The silylated organochalcogen reagents 1,2-(Me3SiSCH2)2C6H4, and 1,2-(Me3SiSeCH2)2C6H4, were prepared from the corresponding organobromides and lithium trimethylsilanechalcogenolate Li[ESiMe3] (E = S, Se). They have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy ((1)H, (13)C, (77)Se) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. and react under mild conditions with (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)palladium(ii) chloride, [PdCl2(dppp)], to provide the dinuclear organochalcogenolate-bridged complexes [(dppp)2Pd2-μ-κ(2)S-{1,2-(SCH2)2C6H4}]X2, []X2 and [(dppp)2Pd2-μ-κ(2)Se-{1,2-(SeCH2)2C6H4}]X2, []X2 (X = Cl, Br) in good yield, respectively. Furthermore, the tetranuclear palladium complex [(dppp)4Pd4-μ-κ(4)S-{1,2,4,5-(SCH2)4C6H2}]X4, []X4 (X = Cl, Br) can be synthesized from the reaction of the tetrathiotetrasilane 1,2,4,5-(Me3SiSCH2)4C6H2, and [PdCl2(dppp)]. The structures of []X2, []X2 and []X4 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. A variety of NMR experiments including two-dimensional homonuclear and heteronuclear correlated spectra were used to probe the solution behaviour of the dinuclear complexes in more detail. These complexes were further characterized by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, and for []X2 and []X2, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy.

A series of polychalcogenotrimethylsilane complexes Ar(CH2ESiMe3)n, (Ar = aryl; E = S, Se; n = 2, 3, and 4) can be prepared from the corresponding polyorganobromide and M[ESiMe3] (M = Na, Li).

Abstract
Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a widely used tool for the characterization of organometallic nanoclusters. By matching experimental mass spectra with calculated isotope distributions it is possible to determine the elemental composition of these analytes. In this work we conduct ESI-MS investigations on M(14)E(13)Cl(2)(tmeda)(6) nanoclusters, where M is a transition metal, E represents a chalcogen, and tmeda is N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-ethylenediamine. ESI mass spectra of these systems agree poorly with theoretical isotope distributions when data are acquired under standard conditions. This behavior is attributed to dead-time artifacts of the time-of-flight (TOF) analyzer used. It is well-known that excessively high TOF ion count rates lead to dead-time issues. Surprisingly, our data reveal that nanocluster spectra are affected by this problem even at moderate signal intensities that do not cause any problems for other types of analytes. This unexpected vulnerability is attributed to the extremely wide isotope distributions of the nanoclusters studied here. A good match between experimental and calculated nanocluster spectra is obtained only at ion count rates that are more than 1 order of magnitude below commonly used levels. Discrepancies between measured and theoretical isotope distributions have been observed in a number of previous ESI-MS nanocluster investigations. The dead-time issue identified here likely represents a contributing factor to the spectral distortions that were observed in those earlier studies. Using low-intensity ESI-MS conditions we demonstrate the feasibility of analyzing highly heterogeneous nanocluster samples that comprise subpopulations with a wide range of metal compositions.

Abstract
New (chalcogenoethyl)ferrocenylcarboxalate functionalized silver chalcogenide nanoclusters were synthesized using a combination of silylated chalcogen reagents at low temperatures. The addition of E(SiMe(3))(2) to reaction mixtures of FcC{O}OCH(2)CH(2)ESiMe(3) (E = S, Se) and (Ph(3)P)(2)·AgOAc affords nanoclusters with approximate molecular formulas [Ag(36)S(9)(SCH(2)CH(2)O{O}CFc)(18)(PPh(3))(3)] (1), [Ag(100)Se(17)(SeCH(2)CH(2)O{O}CFc)(66)(PPh(3))(10)] (2), and [Ag(180)Se(54)(SeCH(2)CH(2)O{O}CFc)(72)(PPh(3))(14)] (3) as noncrystalline solids. Compositions were formulated on the basis of elemental analysis, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering experiments. Solutions of these polyferrocenyl assemblies display a single quasi-reversible redox wave with some adsorption to the electrode surface as studied by cyclic voltammetry. With the smaller clusters 1, the addition of [Bu(4)N][HSO(4)] results in a shift of the reduction wave to less positive potentials than those of the complex in the absence of these oxoanions. No further shift is observed after the addition of approximately 1 equivalent of HSO(4)(-)/ferrocene branch. Cyclic voltammograms of the larger clusters 2 and 3 show the appearance of a new, irreversible wave at less positive potentials than the initial wave upon the addition of HSO(4)(-). The appearance of this new wave together with the disappearance of the reduction wave indicates a stronger interaction between the nanoclusters and the hydrogen sulfate anion.

Abstract
Silylated chalcogen reagents are proven entry points for the preparation of ligand-stabilized, nanometre-sized metal-chalcogen clusters. More recently, these reagents have been developed to incorporate specific functionalities onto the surfaces of nanoclusters. The group 11 metals Cu and Ag in particular yield a wealth of structural types, the features for which are dependent on the nature of the surface chalcogenolate ligands. The content of this review focuses on complexes that have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and illustrates the ease by which these frameworks can be assembled.

Abstract
Homobimetallic gold-selenolate complexes of the type [(Ph2R)PAuSe(C6H4)nSeAuP(Ph2R)] (3a, R = Et, n = 1; 3b, R = Et, n = 2; 5a, R = Ph, n = 1; 5b, R = Ph, n = 2) are obtained by the reaction of [Ph2RPAuCl] (1, R = Et; 4, R = Ph) with 0.5 equiv. of Me3SiSe(C6H4)nSeSiMe3 (2a, n = 1; 2b, n = 2) in good yield. Complex [(Pr3P)AuSe(C6H4)2SeAu(PPr3)] 7b can be prepared in a two-step synthesis procedure: treatment of [AuCl(SMe2)] 6 with 0.5 equiv. of Me3SiSe(C6H4)2SeSiMe3 2b gives [(Me2S)AuSe(C6H4)2SeAu(SMe2)], which further reacts with PPr3 to afford 7b. The new gold-selenolate complexes have been characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H, 31P, 77Se) and elemental analysis. The solid state structures of 3b, 5a, and 7b were determined by single X-ray structure analysis.Key words: gold, dimer, selenolate, biphenylene, phenylene.
