Bimetallic Cooperativity of a Ferrocene-Based Iridium NHC Complex in Water Oxidation Catalysis: A New Frontier for Efficient Oxygen Evolution.

Bimetallic catalysts have gained attention as promising contenders, owing to the synergistic interaction between two distinct metal centers. In this study, we present two N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(III) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes [Cp*Ir(fcpyNHC)Cl]PF (1) and [Cp*Ir(pyNHC)Cl]PF (2) where 1 includes a ferrocene moiety making it a bimetallic complex. Using ceric ammonium nitrate as a sacrificial oxidant, both complexes were tested for water oxidation.

Type 1a Duodenojejunal Tubular Duplication Cyst with Complex Rotational Anomaly Masquerading as Chronic Anemia.

Enteric duplication cysts and reversed intestinal rotation (RIR) are rare congenital anomalies, with their coexistence being exceptionally uncommon. We report a 4-year-old girl who presented with chronic anemia and intermittent abdominal symptoms since infancy. Detailed workup for medical causes of anemia was inconclusive.

Etiology of Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease, Biomarker Efficacy, and the Role of Machine Learning in Stage Diagnosis.

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a subtype of dementia that manifests after the age of 65. It is characterized by progressive impairments in cognitive functions, behavioral changes, and learning difficulties. Given the progressive nature of the disease, early diagnosis is crucial.

Complexation of Actinyl Ions with DHOA and TBP in an Ionic Liquid and a Molecular Solvent: How Similar or Different Are They?

Complexation thermodynamics of uranyl ions with well-known reprocessing ligands like tributyl phosphate (TBP) and dihexyl octanamide (DHOA) was studied in an ionic liquid (IL) versus a molecular solvent. Whereas 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl sulfonyl)imide (Bumim·TfN) was used as an IL due to its favorable viscosity, acetonitrile was the choice of molecular solvent due to its poor coordinating nature. Optical spectroscopy studies revealed that UO ions formed species of the types ML and ML with both TBP and DHOA, in a stepwise manner.
