The family of radical-cation salts β''-(BEDT-TTF)[(A)M(CO)]·guest (M = Fe, Cr, Ga, Al, Co, Mn, Rh, Ru; A = K, HO, NH ) has produced superconductors, metals, semiconductors, and metal-insulators through introduction of different guest molecules into the structure. We present three new additions to the family β''-(BEDT-TTF)[(A)Cr(CO)]·guest with the guest molecules toluene, phenol, or salicylaldehyde. These new guests are liquid or solid additives within the electrocrystallisation medium.

We report the first example of a chiral BDH-TTP radical-cation salt. Chirality is induced in the structure via the use of a chiral spiroboronate anion where three stereocentres are present, one on each chiral ligand and one on the boron centre. Despite starting from a labile racemic mixture of BS and BR enantiomers, only one enantiomer is present in the crystal lattice.

Background: Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are estimated to see nearly 500 000 patients during their career. Evidence demonstrates that one in four patients would be more active if advised by their GP. However, there is a lack of engagement between HCPs and patients regarding the benefits of physical activity (PA).

Background: Healthcare professionals are key informants to support individual behaviour change, and although there has been some progress in empowering clinicians to promote physical activity and health at work, an effective strategy overarching the whole medical educational journey is still lacking. This report provides an overview from the Moving Healthcare Professionals programme (MHPP), a whole-system educational approach to embed prevention and physical activity promotion into clinical practice.

Methods: The MHPP model integrates educational resources into three core domains of medical education: undergraduate education, postgraduate education and continuing professional development.
