There are various interactions that either partially fit or do not fit the currently accepted definitions of the hydrogen bond. However, they possess characteristics of this interaction. It seems that it is partly connected to the fact that these definitions are not precise.

Despite the many beneficial properties of legume plants, their use in diets for poultry is limited by the presence of antinutritional factors. The aim of the study was to determine the activity of DT-diaphorase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, and catalase, and the concentration of malondialdehyde in liver tissue, as well as the activity of SOD and CAT in the serum of Hy-line Brown hens fed a diet supplemented with various doses of seeds. The results indicate that the use of large amounts of lupin in the diet resulted in an increase in MDA concentration in the liver and the lipid vacuolization of hepatocytes.

(1) Background: Infections in deep brain stimulation (DBS) hardware, while an undesired complication of DBS surgeries, can be effectively addressed. Minor infections are typically treated with wound revision and IV antibiotics. However, when visible hardware infection occurs, most centers opt for complete removal, leaving the patient in a preoperative state and necessitating post-removal care.

Two-ring intramolecular π-electron delocalization assisted dihydrogen bonds existing in (1Z,4Z)-1,4-dipentene-3-bora-1,5-diol and its symmetrically substituted derivatives have been analysed here since the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) calculations on these systems were performed. The influence of the coexistence of two intramolecular dihydrogen bonded rings in these molecular structures on properties of intramolecular dihydrogen bonds as well as on the π-electron delocalization within these rings was investigated. The comparison with corresponding structures of typical two-ring, so-called resonance-assisted, RAHB, systems was performed.

The crystal structure of bis((μ-ethynylsilyloxo)-dichloro-aluminum), BEDCA, and a few related structures are characterized by the occurrence of tetrel bonds that link molecules. Particularly, centosymmetric dimers in such structures occur that are connected by two equivalent Si···π tetrel bonds. The dimer of BEDCA and dimers of other model species that similarly are linked by two equivalent Si···π tetrel bonds are analyzed theoretically.
