TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the construction of functional solid-state supramolecular metal complexes containing copper (I) and silver (I), which are regarded as extremely soft acids favoring coordination to soft bases, such as ligands containing S and unsaturated N. The most common stereochemistries for both ions are the linear two-coordinate and the tetrahedral four-coordinations with some distortions of the environment, particularly in the presence of chelating type ligands, attributable to the spherical dl0 configuration.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of metal sandwich complexes of silver derived from silver(I) perchlorate and fluoranthene (L1), benzo[ghi]perylene (L2), [2,2]paracyclophane (L3), and decacyclene (L4) was prepared.

TL;DR: Three luminescent silver(I)-oligo(phenylenevinylene) complexes, synthesized and structurally characterized, exhibit luminescence, of which excitation and emission maxima are shifted to longer wavelength as compared to those of the corresponding metal-free ligands.

TL;DR: In this article, three lanthanide complexes with mellitic acid, including [Ce2{C6(COO)6}(H2O)8]·C6[COO]6]· H2O (1), [Eu2{c6(cOO) 6}(CO) 8]·H 2O (2) and [Yb2[C6COO 6](H 2 O)10]·2H2 O (3), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystall
