The introduction of 4,5-dihydroazuleno[2,1,8-ija]azulene as a central core between two 1,4-dithiafulvene (DTF) units provides a novel class of extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron donors. Herein we present the synthesis of such compounds with the azulenoazulene further expanded by annulation to benzene, naphthalene, or thiophene rings. Moreover, unsymmetrical donor-acceptor chromophores with one DTF and one carbonyl at the central core are presented.

An active catalytic system for the cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of a wide range of secondary amines with silanes is reported. The iridium(III) derivatives [Ir(H)(X)(κ-NSi)(L)] (NSi = {4,8-dimethylquinoline-2-yloxy}dimethylsilyl; L = coe, X = Cl, ; L = coe, X = OTf, ; L = PCy, X = Cl, ; L = PCy X = OTf, ), which are stabilized by a weak yet noticeable Ir···H-C agostic interaction between the iridium and one of the C-H bonds of the 8-Me substituent of the NSi ligand, have been prepared and fully characterized. These species have proven to be effective catalysts for the CDC of secondary amines with hydrosilanes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the challenges faced by Mexican immigrant farmworkers regarding access to health services and the prevalence of diet-related health issues, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive health interventions.
  • - Researchers developed a mobile app for a 14-day dietary assessment using food photography, aiming to gather data on the participants' eating habits while accommodating low literacy levels.
  • - Results from 16 participants showed a total of 1475 food photos taken, with a slight decrease in daily photo counts from the first week to the second, indicating trends in adherence to the protocol.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the activation and functionalization of carbon dioxide using stable Group 14 diradicals, specifically focusing on anionic dicarbene frameworks.
  • These diradicaloids react with CO to form various compounds through cycloaddition, with behaviors varying significantly depending on the element (Si, Ge, Sn) present in the diradical structure.
  • The research includes detailed molecular analysis through X-ray diffraction and theoretical insights from DFT calculations to understand the mechanisms involved in the formation of these compounds.

The main clinical high-risk of psychosis (CHRp) approaches are focused on core features of schizophrenia that might surface in the prodromal phases, mainly psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) (e.g., prodromal or schizotypal symptoms) or associated phenomena like basic symptoms or anomalous experiences of the self.
