Article Abstract
Decanuclear chiral gold(I) sulfido clusters (S-Au and R-Au) have been assembled by taking advantage of the judiciously selected SDP ligands (SDP = 7,7'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-spirobiindane). Interestingly, an achiral heterodimer icosanuclear meso-cluster (meso-Au) has been obtained by simply mixing S-Au and R-Au in a 1:1 ratio. These gold(I) complexes have been found to display intense near-infrared (NIR) luminescence with an emission maximum at around 750 nm in the solid state. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of meso-Au in drop-cast solid-state thin film has been found to show a significant enhancement from 8 % in the S-Au and R-Au to 25 %. In addition, the dimerization process with heterochiral self-discrimination has been found to be sensitive to the solvent polarity and configuration of the diphosphine ligand. This work has provided a platform for the investigation and mechanistic understanding of heterochiral self-sorting and assembly processes.

Stimuli-responsive circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) metal clusters hold significant potential in high-security encryption and sensing applications, yet the exploration of hydrogen-bond-driven CPL-active metal clusters remains limited. Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric pair of rhomboid Au clusters utilizing chiral R/S-4-hydroxymethyl-5-methyloxazole-2-thione (R/S-HMMT) ligands. Two enantiomeric pairs of self-assembled metal clusters R/S-Au(HMMT)-blue and R/S-Au(HMMT)-red were obtained, by constructing distinct intercluster hydrogen bonds through the use of different crystalline solvents.

Metal nanoclusters are excellent electrochemiluminescent luminophores owing to their rich electrochemical and optical properties. However, the optical activity of their electrochemiluminescence (ECL) is unknown. Herein, we achieved, for the first time, the integration of optical activity and ECL, , circularly polarized electrochemiluminescence (CPECL), in a pair of chiral AuAg metal nanocluster enantiomers.

A tetranuclear gold(i) complex [Au(μ-PAnP)(μ-L)] (PAnP = 9,10-bis(diphenylphosphino)anthracene and L = benzene-1,2-dithiolate) has been synthesized and characterised by multinuclear NMR and X-ray crystallography. The molecule has a cyclophane-like structure which can be considered to be composed of two [Au(μ-PAnP)(μ-L)] units held together by Au-S bonds and aurophilic interactions (Au-Au = 3.0712(2) Å).

Chiral self-recognition and self-discrimination are of vital importance to biological processes. In this work, 2D regular rhombic nanocrystals (RS-NC) were fabricated through heterochiral self-discrimination between chiral polynuclear gold(I)-sulfido complex enantiomers, [(R-BINAP) Au S ]Cl (R-Au ) and [(S-BINAP) Au S ]Cl (S-Au ), in MeOH without the need for any surfactants or templates. The monitoring of nanocrystals (NCs) formation by TEM and DLS has uncovered the self-assembly process and shape evolution of the NCs and revealed a screw-dislocation dictated spiral growth of the rhombic NCs.
