Construction of Pd-based coordination cages with three geometrically distinct ligands Ru-Jin Li, Jean de Montmollin, Farzaneh Fadaei-Tirani, Rosario Scopelliti and Kay Severin* Dalton Trans., 2023, 52, 6451-6456 |
|
In this outstanding article, the authors combined three different dipyridyl ligands with [Pd(CH3CN)4](BF4)2 to give mixtures of homo- and/or heteroleptic coordination cages. They found that the structural flexibility of ligands with alkynyl spacers were important for the formation of the heteroleptic complexes.

We are delighted to announce our new spotlight collection on aggregation induced luminescence of metal complexes. Spotlight Collections are ongoing themed collections highlighting the best past and present work in Dalton Transactions.
Metal complexes have been known as luminescent materials for decades and still represent an extremely attractive class of materials due to their peculiar structure-related properties. As a consequence, they have found applications as responsive supramolecular motifs, sensors and photocatalysts. In the last 10 years, the emerging field of Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) demonstrated how a vast variety of compounds are able to switch from negligible emissive compounds in solutions to intensely luminescent materials upon aggregation.
This Spotlight Collection is focused on recent advances of AIE-active metal complexes published in Dalton Transactions, displaying the synthetic strategies for the preparation of new coordination motifs, their photophysical properties and their use as tuneable emissive materials in sensing-oriented and opto-electronic applications, aiming to define useful design principles for future improvements.
This collection is guest edited by Dalton Transactions Associate Editor Professor Paola Ceroni (University of Bologna, Italy), Dr Andrea Fermi (University of Bologna, Italy) and Professor Inamur R. Laskar (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, India).

We are delighted to announce our new spotlight collection on Photoinduced redox chemistry. Spotlight Collections are ongoing themed collections highlighting the best past and present work in Dalton Transactions.
This collection demonstrates the incredible breadth of ground-breaking research being undertaken in the area of photoinduced redox chemistry all over the world.
Many classes of inorganic complexes and materials can participate in photoinduced redox chemistry, in which absorption of a photon generates an excited state that then undergoes an electron-transfer event with a redox partner. Many classes of inorganic compounds spanning a large portion of the periodic table, including transition metal and f-element coordination compounds, organometallic complexes, MOFs, nanomaterials, and extended inorganic solids, can undergo photoinduced redox chemistry. Fundamental studies of the thermodynamics and kinetics of these excited-state redox processes remain important, as they continue to reveal key insights into how ligand design, electron configuration, molecular structure, crystal structure, environment and composition affect the excited-state redox chemistry of these many categories of inorganic compounds. Moreover, photoinduced charge transport processes involving inorganic compounds are important elementary steps in several applications, including but not limited to solar fuels, organic photoredox catalysis, dye-sensitized solar cells, and photodynamic therapy.
This Spotlight Collection covers various aspects of photoinduced redox chemistry in inorganic compounds including excited-state redox processes involving new inorganic materials, the development of novel systems for studying and optimizing these processes, and studies using known compounds for applications related to photoinduced charge transport, highlighting the important roles that existing inorganic compounds can play in these areas. This collection will showcase the combined roles that synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry, including time-resolved spectroscopy and computational studies, play in driving fundamental and applied research in this continually evolving field of research.
This collection is guest edited by Dalton Transactions Advisory Board member Prof. Thomas Teets (University of Houston), Prof. Dr. Katja Heinze (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) and Prof. Paul Elliott (University of Huddersfield).
