When and Why Adults Abandon Lifestyle Behavior and Mental Health Mobile Apps: Scoping Review.

Background: With 1 in 3 adults globally living with chronic conditions and the rise in smartphone ownership, mobile health apps have become a prominent tool for managing lifestyle-related health behaviors and mental health. However, high rates of app abandonment pose challenges to their effectiveness.

Germanyl triazoles as a platform for CuAAC diversification and chemoselective orthogonal cross-coupling.

We report the synthesis of germanyl triazoles formed via a copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of germanyl alkynes. The reaction is often high yielding, functional group tolerant, and compatible with complex molecules. The installation of the Ge moiety enables further diversification of the triazole products, including chemoselective transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions using bifunctional boryl/germyl species.
