Interest in the observation and characterization of organic isomers in astronomical environments has grown rapidly with an increase in the sensitivity of detection techniques. Accurate modeling and interpretation of these environments require experimental isomer-specific reactivity and spectroscopic measurements. Given the abundance of formaldehyde (HCO) in various astrophysical objects, the properties and reactivities of its cation isomers HCO and HCOH are of significant interest.

Background: Current acute healthcare service metrics are not meaningful for older people living with frailty. Healthcare knowledge, situational security, and physical and psychosocial function are important outcomes typically not collected. The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) could support these assessments.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates novel -acridine thiosemicarbazones (NATs) focusing on their coordination chemistry, electrochemistry, and biological effects, revealing them as effective tridentate ligands with a unique crystal structure when complexed with Zn(II).
  • - NAT Fe(III) complexes show reversible redox activity and better inhibition of oxy-myoglobin oxidation compared to similar thiosemicarbazone complexes, attributed to their enhanced electron-donating properties.
  • - The NAT-Zn(II) complexes exhibit notable antiproliferative activity, possibly due to their ability to improve cellular uptake and transmetalation to Cu(II) complexes, suggesting significant potential in biological applications.
