The International Agency for Research on Cancer has unequivocally classified inorganic arsenic as a Group 1 carcinogen, definitively establishing its potential to induce cancer in humans. Paradoxically, despite its well-documented toxicity, arsenic finds utility as a chemotherapeutic agent. Notable examples include melarsoprol and arsenic trioxide, both employed in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

A fluorene-naphthalene Schiff base (FNH) that displays aggregation induced emission, mechanofluorochromism and excitation wavelength dependent fluorescence inherent to the pristine and ground samples is synthesized. Water/solvent-based invisible security inks for flexo/screen printing were formulated using FNH as a smart pigment to check the originality of documents/branded products etc.

A comprehensive literature search was performed using relevant terms and inclusion‑exclusion criteria. Recent articles, subjects older than 50 years, and articles written in the English language were included, whereas letters to the editor and articles related to pregnant women were excluded from the review study.

Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of 82-years old male with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) that was developed as a complication of COVID-19.
Discussion: COVID-19 is now known to cause cardiovascular issues such as myocardial damage, heart failure, arrhythmia, and venous thromboembolism.

The conformational flexibilities are studied in two new organotin(IV) complexes, namely, trans-dichloridodimethylbis[N,N',N''-tris(2-chlorobenzyl)phosphoric triamide]tin(IV), [Sn(CH)(CHClNOP)Cl] or Sn(CH)Cl{OP[NHCHCH(2-Cl)]}, (I), and bis(dipropylammonium) tetrachloridodimethylstannate(IV), [(CHCHCH)NH][Sn(CH)Cl], (II), and their analogous structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The conformations are considered based on the N-P=O-Sn torsion angles for (I) and the C-C-C-N, C-C-N-C, C-N-C-C and N-C-C-C torsion angles for the two symmetry-independent [CHCHCHNHCHCHCH] cations in (II), and the ±ac±sp±ac (ac = anticlinal and sp = synperiplanar) and ±ap±ap±ap±ap (ap = antiperiplanar) conformations are observed, respectively. In both structures, the four atoms in the corners of the square-planar segment of the octahedral shape around the Sn atom participate in normal hydrogen-bonding interactions as acceptors, which include two O and two Cl atoms for (I), and four Cl atoms for (II).
