Spin-Frustrated Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a fascinating class of structured materials with diverse functionality originating from the distinctive physicochemical properties. This review focuses on the specific chemical design of geometrically frustrated MOFs along with the origin of the intriguing magnetic properties. We have discussed the arrangement of spin centres (metal and ligand) which are responsible for the unusual magnetic phenomena in MOFs.

Electrocatalytic Micelle-Driven Hydrodefluorination for Accessing Unprotected Monofluorinated Indoles.

Toxic organic solvents and electrolytes, traditionally indispensable for electro-organic synthesis, are now being reconsidered. In developing more sustainable electro-organic synthesis, we've harnessed the aqueous micelles as solvents and electrolyte-like structures when deformed under an electric field. The technology is showcased in synthetically highly valued hydrodefluorination reactions of difluorinated indoles.

Structure-based interaction study of Samaderine E and Bismurrayaquinone A phytochemicals as potential inhibitors of KRas oncoprotein.

Ras is identified as a human oncogene which is frequently mutated in human cancers. Among its three isoforms (K, N, and H), KRas is the most frequently mutated. Mutant Ras exhibits reduced GTPase activity, leading to the prolonged activation of its conformation.
