A new N2S(alkylthiolate)-coordinated Pb2+ compound {2-methyl-1-[methyl(2-pyridin-2-ylethyl)amino]propane-2-thiolatolead perchlorate, [PATH-Pb][ClO4]} has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and by 207Pb NMR. [PATH-Pb]+ is the first reported three-coordinate Pb complex with an alkanethiolate ligand and, hence, is a good model for Pb-cysteine interactions in proteins. The Pb center displays distorted trigonal-planar geometry. The Pb-S bond lengths are extremely short (2.590(10) and 2.597(10) A for two distinct monomers in the unit cell). 207Pb NMR revealed a Pb resonance at 5318 ppm, much further downfield than Pb complexes with N and O ligation. Given recent evidence of three-coordinate Pb-binding in proteins with cysteine-rich metal-binding sites, [PATH-Pb]+ is an important model for Pb sites in biological systems. Crystal data: C12H19N2SPbClO4, Mr = 529.99, monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 16.8297(9) A, b = 11.9719(6) A, c = 17.0868(9) A, V = 3237.7(3) A3, and Z = 8.

This study employed high-time-resolution systems to examine the transient properties of aerosols and gases emitted from electronic cigarette (EC) puffs. Using a fast aerosol sizer, we measured particle size distributions (PSDs) across various EC brands (JUUL, VUSE, VOOPOO), revealing sizes ranging from 5 to 1000 nm at concentrations of 10 to 10 cm. Most aerosols were found to be in the ultrafine range (below 100 nm), with JUUL-, VUSE-, and VOOPOO-producing aerosols with geometric mean sizes of 19.

Electropolymerized polypyrrole (PPy) is considered as one of the promising polymers for use in ionic-electroactive or conducting polymer (CP) actuators. Its electromechanical properties surpass those of other prominent CPs such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS) or polyaniline. However, freestanding and linear contracting actuator fibers made solely of electropolymerized PPy are not available yet.

The involvement of neurons in the peripheral nervous system is crucial for bone regeneration. Mimicking extracellular matrix cues provides a more direct and effective strategy to regulate neuronal activity and enhance bone regeneration. However, the simultaneous coupling of the intrinsic mechanical-electrical microenvironment of implants to regulate innervated bone regeneration has been largely neglected.
