[reaction: see text] Triptycenes with C1-MeO/RCOO (R = H, Me, Et, i-Pr, CF3) and C9-XC6H4CH2 (X = Me, H, F, CN, CF3) have been prepared to determine lone pair-arene interactions in the off-center configuration. The ratios of the syn and anti conformers were determined by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy. The syn conformer allows the attached arene and the MeO/ester to interact with each other while the anti conformer does not. The free energies of interaction have been derived from the syn/anti ratios. Compound 7 in the ester series with X = H and R = CF3 is the only compound that shows a slightly repulsive interaction (0.08 kcal/mol). Compound 2e in the MeO series with X = CF3 exhibits an attractive interaction (-0.47 +/- 0.05 kcal mol). All other compounds show smaller attractive interactions.

Aim: Emerging resistance among pathogens necessitates the development of novel antimicrobial agents. As a result, we aimed to synthesize new coumarins and study their antimicrobial activity with the hope of obtaining effective drugs.
Method: A series of coumarins were synthesized, characterized, and assessed for antimicrobial activity using broth microdilution and agar diffusion methods against Gram-positive (), Gram-negative () bacteria, and fungi ().

Ni 2,2'-bipyridine complexes are commonly invoked intermediates in metallaphotoredox cross-coupling reactions. Despite their ubiquity, design principles targeting improved catalytic performance remain underdetermined. A series of Ni(bpy)(Ar)Cl (R = MeOOC, -Bu, R' = CH, CF) complexes were proposed to have multiconfigurational electronic structures on the basis of multiconfigurational/multireference calculations, with significant mixing of Ni → bpy metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) configurations into the ground-state wave function.

Superoxide dismutase enzymes are a major defense against superoxide, which is a potent reactive oxygen species. Misregulation of reactive oxygen species and subsequent neuronal damage are etiological hallmarks of neurodegenerative disease. Macrocyclic small molecules have offered inroads toward functional SOD1 mimics.

The structural modification of hole-transporting materials (HTMs) is an effective strategy for enhancing photovoltaic performance in perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, a series of dithienopyran (DTP)-based HTMs (Me-H, Ph-H, CF3-H, CF3-mF, and CF3-oF) is designed and synthesized by substituting different functional groups on the DTP unit and are used fabricating PSCs. In comparison with Me-H having two methyl substituents on the dithienopyrano ring, the Ph-H having two phenyl substituents on the ring exhibits higher PCEs.

As some previously reported studies have proven that amodiaquine, in addition to its primary antimalarial activity, also has potential for new applications such as the inhibition of cholinesterases, in our study we focused on the evaluation of the influence of different substituents in the aminoquinoline part of the amodiaquine structure on the inhibition of human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase to investigate the possibility for their use as drugs for the treatment of AD. We synthesized a series of amodiaquine derivatives bearing H-, F-, CF-, NO-, CN-, COH- or CHO- groups on the aminoquinoline ring, and determined that all of the tested derivatives were very potent inhibitors of both cholinesterases, with inhibition constants () in the nM and low μM range and with prominent selectivity (up to 300 times) for the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. All compounds displayed an ability to chelate biometal ions Fe, Zn and Cu and an antioxidant power comparable to that of standard antioxidants.
