The electronic structure and optical response of five metal–dicyanoaurates(I), (K)M[Au(CN)2] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn and Cd), are described from a combined experimental and theoretical study
Previously unreported, luminescent polymorphs and solid solutions of a simple gold(I) salt, accessed through heating and mechanochemistry.
Molecules of the bambusuril macrocycle attached to silica gel particles effectively removed dicyanoaurate anions from water through host-guest supramolecular interactions.
This manuscript reports the X-ray characterization of two cyanidoaurate telluronium salts, exhibiting three directional and structure-guiding charge assisted chalcogen bonds (CAChBs). These have been studied using DFT calculations.
Metal compounds are gaining attention as agents to address antibiotic resistance, although development faces high costs and risks of failure. Strategies like drug repurposing, combination and bioconjugation may simplify clinical translation.
