TL;DR: Time dependent density functional theory calculations have been used to calculate the UV/vis properties of the ground state as well as of the first excited state of the complex, the latter featuring a significantly shorter Au···Au distance.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nanohybrid made by Co3O4 and graphene is proposed as an efficient electrocatalyst for the selective reduction of CO2 to formate at low overpotential.

TL;DR: Four novel dinuclear N-heterocyclic dicarbene gold(I) complexes with a propylene linker between the carbene moieties have been synthesized and their luminescence and electrochemical properties, together with their reactions towards bromine oxidative addition, have been screened.

TL;DR: A series of dinuclear N-heterocyclic bis-dicarbene gold(III) complexes of the general formula [Au2Br4(RIm-Y-ImR)2](PF6)2 (Im = imidazol-2-ylidene) were successfully synthesized by oxidative addition of bromine to the corresponding dicarbenes gold(I) complexes 1a-6a as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: New dinuclear di(N-heterocyclic carbene) silver(I), gold(I) and gold(III) complexes have been synthesised and their antiproliferative effects towards various cancer cell lines have been screened.
