Article Abstract
A tray-shaped Pd(II)3Au(I)3 complex (1) is prepared from 3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)pyrazole by means of tricyclization with Au(I) followed by Pd(II) clipping. Tray 1 is an efficient scaffold for the modular assembly of [3×n] Au(I) clusters. Treatment of 1 with the Au(I)3 tricyclic guest 2 in H2O/CH3CN (7:3) or H2O results in the selective formation of a [3×2] cluster (1⋅2) or a [3×3] cluster (1⋅2⋅1), respectively. Upon subsequent addition of Ag(I) ions, these complexes are converted to an unprecedented Au3-Au3-Ag-Au3-Au3 metal ion cluster.

By the strategic integration of squaramide with amino acid derivatives, a type of modular H-bonding catalyst for the enantioselective hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process was developed. With these disulfides, a photoinduced asymmetric anti-Markovnikov hydrophosphinylation was achieved, providing a series of chiral -hydroxyphosphine oxides with reasonable to high enantioselectivity. Mechanism studies revealed the critical role of the H-bonding interactions between the squaramide scaffold and radical intermediates in governing the enantioselectivity and catalytic reactivity.

A series of unsymmetrically substituted BODIPY dyes featuring fused benzo- or naphtho-fragments on one pyrrolic unit were synthesized from the corresponding pyrrolic precursors. The synthetic route was optimized using a modular approach based on the condensation of formylpyrroles with alkylpyrroles, enabling the identification of precursor combinations that minimize byproduct formation and improve preparative yields. The resulting benzo- and naphtho-fused BODIPYs display intense fluorescence in the red region, with emission maxima spanning 590-680 nm and fluorescence quantum yields ranging from 0.

Perylene diimide (PDI) radical anions have attracted increasing attention as hypoxia-responsive photothermal agents due to their strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption and efficient photothermal conversion. However, their biomedical application is often limited by aggregation-induced quenching and poor structural tunability. In this work, we report a rationally engineered four-arm PDI derivative (PDI-4Alky·4Cl) bearing terminal alkyne groups, which not only suppresses π-π stacking steric and electrostatic repulsion, but also serves as a versatile molecular scaffold for further functionalization.

IWS1 (Interacts with SPT6) has been implicated as a core elongation factor, but its molecular role remains unclear. We show that the intrinsically disordered C-terminal region of IWS1 contains short linear motifs (SLiMs) that multivalently engage the elongation machinery.
