The aim of this chapter is to review the chemistry of chalcogenolates in the last 10 years. The more recent reviews in this field included chalcogenolates of the s-block elements,13,14 early transition metal thiolates,15 metal complexes with selenolate and tellurolate ligands,16 copper(I), lithium and magnesium thiolates,17 functionalized thiolate complexes,18 19 pentafluorobenzenethiolate platinum group compounds,20 tellurium derivatives,21 luminescent gold compounds,22 and complexes with lanthanide or actinide.23... 

With the previously demonstrated ability of trinuclear gold(I) pyrazo-late complexes that possess long-alkyl chains to form columnar mesophases [119-121], Aida and co-workers synthesized a series of luminescent Au3 complexes bearing dendritic poly(benzyl ether) functionalized pyrazole ligands [122]. By controlling the dendron generation, superhelical fibres with extensive inter molecular Au3 stacking could be obtained, which resulted in an... 

In addition to the organogold(III) diimine system described in the previous section, ancillary aryls could also be incorporated as part of the diimine ligand moiety in obtaining luminescent gold(III) complexes. A series of cydometallated chlorogold(III) complexes, [Au(NANAC)Cl]+ 15a,b...
