Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the structure and properties of two similar copper(II) nano-coordination polymers (NCPs) created with uracil-1-acetic acid and its fluorinated variant.
- The researchers developed single crystal structures through hydrothermal synthesis, revealing ladder-like polymeric configurations that can form water-stable colloidal nanoplates.
- Cytotoxicity tests showed that one NCP decreased cell viability in certain cancer cells, while modifications led to an increase in toxicity linked to reactive oxygen species, especially when substituting uracil with 5-fluorouracil.
The H-atom transfer (HAT) from water to ketyl radicals, mediated by titanocene(iii) aqua-complexes, can explain the Ti(III)-promoted reduction of ketones in aqueous medium better than the conventional House mechanism. Moreover, we also report novel evidences supporting the existence of these titanocene(iii) aqua-complexes.

- The oxidative coupling reaction of cobalt complexes under Eglinton-Glaser conditions produced several new compounds that include cobalt and osmium units with distinct connectivity.
- The resulting complexes featured multiple metal centers and were investigated for their electronic properties, revealing enhanced communication in structures involving the triosmium cluster.
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was utilized to characterize one of the final products, confirming its structural details.
