Reactions of bipyridyl-functionalized imidazole-thiones and selones with MeX (X=I, OTf) afforded sulfenyl and selenenyl cations [(NNC)EMe]X (2/3, E=S, Se). Further reactions of these main-group cations with [Cu(CHCN)]BF, Cu(OTf) furnished dicationic [{Cu(μ-I)(NNC)EMe}][Y] (5/6, Y=BF, OTf) and tricationic copper(I) complexes [Cu{(NNC)EMe}](OTf)BF (7 a/7 b) when employed [(NNC)EMe]I and [(NNC)EMe]OTf respectively. All these cationic complexes were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis.

This protocol enables easy access to bioactive motif 3,4-dihydro-1-[1,4]oxazino[4,3-]indole through an intramolecular cascade bicyclization and concomitant isomerization pathway in one pot. This transformation has been effectively achieved by utilizing a stereoelectronically tuned, π-accepting NHC-supported copper(I) system.

However, the contribution of natural environments, particularly aquatic ecosystems, as ideal settings for the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a key concern.

Four iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric diets containing graded levels of TABP (0, 1, 10, and 15 g/kg were fed to fish for 90 days, followed by a 10 day challenge with pathogenic bacteria and . An integrated biomarker response (IBR) approach assessed the impact of TABP on hematological, adaptive, and humoral immune parameters, along with liver histomorphology.

The treatment of diphenyl(2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)phosphine (1) with CuCl and [Cu(CHCN)]BF furnished the corresponding neutral [(1)CuCl] (2) and mono-cationic [(1)Cu(CHCN)]BF (3) complexes, respectively. The reactions of 1 with AgX (X = BF, NO) in 2 : 1 ratio furnished the corresponding mono cationic dicoordinate silver(I) complexes of the type [(1)Ag]X (X = BF (4a), NO (4b)).

The solid-state structures of 3a/3b display the presence of intermolecular cuprophilic (Cu⋯Cu) interactions between the two monocationic species, and consist of weak Cu⋯S bonding between the two cations. Besides, complex 3a was introduced as a molecular copper(I) catalyst in cyclization reactions, and new protocols were developed for the synthesis of a series of new oxazole and triazole derivatives bearing alkyne-phenyl propargylic ether substituents.
