Summary: Natural bio-sourced polymers are utilized to synthesize highly stable single atom catalysts (SACs) by providing anchoring sites for metal ions. SACs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and stability, and enhance catalytic activity through noble interactions with the support material. This review discusses the progress in using various natural bio-sourced polymers for the preparation of metal-based SACs, as well as the synthesis steps and techniques for determining the coordination environment.

Summary: This review summarizes the recent experimental developments, photophysical mechanisms, and applications of zero-dimensional (0D) lead-free metal halide perovskites (MHPs) Cs2ZrCl6 and its derivatives. Cs2ZrCl6 possesses features like low cost, environmental friendliness, and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), and its derivatives exhibit easily modulated self-trapping exciton (STEs) emission, dopant-induced photoluminescence, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The review also discusses strategies for manipulating optical properties through crystal site substitution and energy transfer.

Summary: Organometallic iridium complexes with two cyclometalated ligands and one bis-oxazoline derived ancillary ligand were studied. These complexes have emission spanning across the visible and near-ultraviolet region, with moderate to high photoluminescence quantum yields. The (ppy)2Ir(BOX-CN) complexes were resolved into Delta- and Lambda-diastereomers based on solubility differences.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.
