A dual modulation strategy of consecutive nucleation and confined growth of Li metal is proposed by using the metal–organic framework (MOF) derivative hollow capsule with inbuilt lithiophilic Au or Co-O nanoparticle (NP) seeds as heterogeneous host. The seeding-induced nucleation enables the negligible overpotential and promotes the inward injection of Li mass into the abundant cavities in host, followed by the conformal plating of Li on the outer surface of host during discharging. This modulation alleviates the dendrite growth and volume expansion of Li plating. The interconnected porous host network enables enhancement of cycling and rate performances of Li metal (a lifespan over 1200 h for Au-seeding symmetric cells, and an endurance of 220 cycles under an ultrahigh current density of 10 mA cm?2 for corresponding asymmetric cells). The hollow capsules integrated with lithiophilic seeds solve the deformation problem of Li metal for durable and long-life Li-metal batteries.

The emergence of bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics, such as the sulfonamides (sulfa drugs), is currently a case of concern. The synthesis of metal complexes using well-known antibacterial agents and bioactive metals has proven to be an excellent strategy in the development of new and more active metallodrugs. Herein, we report the synthesis, structural characterization and antibacterial analysis of new gold(I) and silver(I) complexes with the sulfa drug sulfasalazine (ssz). Elemental, thermal and high-resolution mass spectrometric measurements indicated a 1:1:1 Au/ssz/Ph3P molar composition for the gold(I) complex (Ph3P - triphenylphosphine), while for the silver(I) complex the molar composition was 1:1 Ag/ssz. Solution state NMR and infrared spectroscopic data suggest that ssz coordinates to silver(I) and gold(I) by the oxygen atoms of the deprotonated carboxylic group. The coordination mode of the carboxylate was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which reinforces a monodentate coordination for the gold(I) complex and a bridged bidentate mode for the silver(I) one, with the molecular formulas [(Ph3P)Au(ssz)] and [Ag(ssz)]2, respectively. Antibacterial activity assays indicated the sensitivity of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacterial strains to [Ag(ssz)]2 and [(Ph3P)Au(ssz)] complexes, while the free ligand was not able to inhibit the growth of any tested bacteria. The non-interaction of the complexes with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was also demonstrated, which suggests that this biomolecule is not a preferential target for the compounds.

The binding of gold(III) from solution in a 2 M HCl with thallium(I) dibutyl dithiocarbamate leads to the formation of ion-polymeric complex ([Au{S2CN(C4H9)2}2][TlCl4])n, which was studied by (13С, 15N) MAS NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. In the complex comprising the nonequivalent cations [Au{S2CN(C4H9)2}2]+ (A and B) and anions [TlCl4]–, the supramolecular self-assembly is provided by secondary bonds Au···S and S···Cl. The former are involved in the formation of isomeric binuclear cations [А···А] and [В···В] that build the (···[А···А]···[В···В]···)n polymeric chain; the latter selectively combine the thallium(III) anions and the dimeric cations. Thermolysis of the complex is accompanied by gold recovery and release of TlCl.
