Article Synopsis
  • Water flow information detected by lateral line organs is essential for the behavior and survival of fish and amphibians, but the specific neuronal networks involved remain poorly understood.
  • Researchers conducted brain-wide calcium imaging on larval zebrafish to map neuronal responses to different water flow directions, finding diverse neuron types that encode flow direction, speed, and onset.
  • Their analysis revealed that most processing focuses on head-to-tail flow detection, with many brain regions involved, laying the groundwork for further exploration of water flow information processing in aquatic animals.

Single Conformation Spectroscopy of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid: A Molecule Bites Its Tail.

J Phys Chem A

Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that causes growth arrest and differentiation of many tumor types and is an approved drug for the treatment of cancer. The chemical structure of SAHA consists of formanilide "head" and a hydroxamic acid "tail" separated by an n-hexyl chain, CHNH(C═O)-(CH)-(C═O)NHOH. The alkyl chain's preference for extended structures is in competition with tail-to-head (T-H) or head-to-tail (H-T) hydrogen bonds between the amide and hydroxamic acid groups.

An asymmetric heterotopic ligand (S-N(Me)CP) containing a central bicyclic, expanded-ring NHC with one pyridyl and one phosphine exo-substituent has been synthesised and its coordination chemistry with selected late transition metals investigated. The amidinium precursor [S-N(Me)CHP]PF6 shows variable coordination modes with Ag(i), Cu(i) and Au(i) depending on the L : M ratio. The reaction of two mols of [S-N(Me)CHP]PF6 with [Cu(MeCN)4]BF4, AgBF4 or Au(THT)Cl gives the bis-ligand complexes [Cu(κ-P-N(Me)CHP)2(CH3CN)2]BF4·(PF6)2, 1, and [M(κ-P-N(Me)CHP)2]X·(PF6)2 (3: M = Ag, X = BF4; 6: M = Au, X = Cl) respectively.

Versatile deprotonated NHC: C,N-bridged dinuclear iridium and rhodium complexes.

Bearing the versatility of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands, here density functional theory (DFT) calculations unravel the capacity of coordination of a deprotonated NHC ligand (pNHC) to generate a doubly C2,N3-bridged dinuclear complex. Here, in particular the discussion is based on the combination of the deprotonated 1-arylimidazol (aryl = mesityl (Mes)) with [M(cod)(μ-Cl)] (M = Ir, Rh) generated two geometrical isomers of complex [M(cod){µ-C3H2N2(Mes)-κC2,κN3}]2). The latter two isomers display conformations head-to-head (H-H) and head-to-tail (H-T) of C S and C 2 symmetry, respectively.
