The silylated ferrocenyl selenium reagent 1,1'-Fe(eta5-C5H4SeSiMe3)2 has been used for the high yield formation of the phosphine-ligated copper complexes Cu2(fcSe2)(PiPr3)2 (1) and Cu4(fcSe2)2(PnPr3)4 (2) from solublilized CuOAc, as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The incorporation of a source of Se2- into the reaction scheme with the reagent Se(SiMe3)2 yields the mixed selenide/ferrocenyldiselenolate cluster [Cu20Se6(Se2fc)4(PnPr3)10] (3). Partial substitution of the PnPr3 ligand shell in 3 with the phosphinothiol Ph2P(CH2)3SH leads to an expansion of the framework and the high yield formation of the crystallographically characterized cluster Cu36(fcSe2)6Se12(PnPr3)10(Ph2P(CH2)3SH)2 (5), which contains surface alkylthiol groups on a copper-selenium core.

The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a Food Choices Assessment Score (FCAS) measuring alignment with 2019 Canada's Food Guide (CFG) and Canada's Dietary Guidelines (CDG) using a non-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data. Cross-sectional data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) (2016 to 2019), including 6,459 participants (≥19 years) and a non-quantitative FFQ (~100 food items) were used. Content and construct validity and assessing reliability were used to evaluate the FCAS, including a comparison of mean FCAS among Canadian subgroups, calculating the FCAS for high quality diet menus, investigating the consistency of the FCAS with the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), as a healthy diet linked with lower cardiometabolic risks, and estimating Cronbach's alpha for reliability.

The endoperoxide scaffold is found in numerous natural products and synthetic substances of pharmaceutical interest. The main challenge to their synthetic access remains the preparation of chiral compounds due to the weakness of the peroxide bond, which limits the scope of available or applicable methods. Here, we demonstrate how peroxycarbenium species can be trapped by silylated nucleophiles with high enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities when applicable, using a chiral imidophosphorimidate (IDPi) as a catalyst.

-cycloalkenes are abundant in bioactive natural products and have been used as powerful tools in chemical biology and drug discovery. However, strategies for the modular synthesis of -cycloalkenes, especially planar-chiral medium-sized ones, with high efficiency and selectivity, still remain elusive. Herein, we report a Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [7 + 2] cyclization strategy to address this challenge.

Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from mesenchymal stem cells regulates antioxidant properties and bone metabolism by providing a favorable extracellular microenvironment. However, its functional role and molecular mechanism in mitochondrial function regulation and aged bone regeneration remain insufficiently elucidated. This proteomic analysis has revealed a greater abundance of proteins supporting mitochondrial function in the young ECM (Y-ECM) secreted by young bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) compared to the aged ECM (A-ECM).

Ferrites are an essential material in modern industry due to their exceptional magnetic properties and high resistivity. Many applications of ferrites necessitate exposure to high energy electrons, particularly space science and particle accelerators, where charging, multipacting, and electron clouds (ECs) are major issues. ECs are of particular concern around the Ni/Zn soft ferrite kicker magnets as the large hadron collider (LHC) undergoes its high luminosity upgrade.
