TL;DR: The metal-directed self-assembly of luminescent metallosupramolecular structures has been studied in this article, where a brief overview of the selfassembly process is followed by a discussion of the various types of assemblies based on the nuclearity of the luminophore.

TL;DR: The metal-to-ligand backbonding is in fact depleting the Re center of electron density, thus widening the HOMO-LUMO gap and reducing the non-radiative decay mechanism in accordance with the energy gap law.

TL;DR: A high-temperature, microwave synthesis of [Ru(qpy)3](2+) (qpy = 4,4':2',2'':4'',4'''-quaterpyridine) affords the photosensitiser in quantitative yield.

TL;DR: Having such rationally well-defined catalytic sites coupled with in situ Raman and infrared spectroelectrochemical measurements enabled the deduction of the reaction mechanism in which co-adsorbed *OH functions as a proton acceptor in the alcohol oxidation step and carries implications for catalyst design for heterogeneous electrosynthetic reactions en route to the electrification of the chemical industry.

TL;DR: Preliminary investigations show that the dinuclear ruthenium-palladium and -platinum complexes are not active catalysts in the light-driven hydrogen production.
