Article Synopsis
  • The study reports the synthesis of a unique air and water stable phosphenium cation, referred to as compound 1, stabilized by a Bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC), which is uncommon in scientific literature.
  • The compound is synthesized through a reaction followed by anion exchange, leading to the formation of two derivatives: an α-radical phosphine species (2) and a phosphenium oxide (3).
  • Research included characterizing these compounds using techniques like X-ray diffraction and spectroscopy, revealing that compounds 1 and 3 selectively bind to fluoride ions over other halides, with computational studies aiding in understanding their bonding characteristics.

Preterm babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) have to undergo continuous monitoring of their cardiac health. Conventional monitoring approaches are contact-based, making the neonates prone to various nosocomial infections. Video-based monitoring approaches have opened up potential avenues for contactless measurement.
