Aiming at intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) based on soft Lewis acidic bismuth centers, a phosphine function was combined with a dichloridobismuthane unit on a phenylene backbone utilizing a scrambling approach. The reaction between two equivalents of BiCl and (o-(PhP)CH)Bi yielded (o-(PhP)CH)BiCl(THF), the structure of which indicated BiP interactions and thus a pronounced Lewis acidity at the bismuth center that was confirmed by the Gutmann-Beckett method. However, the system turned out to be insufficient to be utilized for FLP reactivity.

We aimed to determine the prevalence of CHIP in patients with DCM and define its risk for disease progression.
Methods And Results: Next-generation sequencing targeting 54 common CHIP-associated genes was performed in 48 ICM and 52 DCM patients.
Introduction: Strenuous exercise induces significant increases in cardiac biomarkers. However, it is still unclear whether this is caused by cardiomyocyte necrosis or secondary mechanisms such as ischemia, cardiac energy deficiency, increased inflammation, or renal dysfunction.
Methods: Therefore, we investigated cardiac biomarkers (high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (h-FABP)), inflammation markers (high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-α), and renal function (cystatin C) in 102 healthy men age 42 ± 9 yr before and 0, 24, and 72 h after a marathon.
