Ab initio studies of 14 [N]phenylenes containing 12-membered rings furnish geometries, energies, standard heats of formation, NICS(1) values, and proton chemical shifts. The extent of double-bond localization, DeltaR (in A), for each type of the 58 unique six-membered rings-angular, branched, and terminal-varies linearly with both their NICS(1) values and proton resonances. Values of these parameters depend upon the number and type of neighboring rings. DeltaRtot, the molecular sum of the bond localizations, correlates linearly with the ab initio energy and heat of formation. Reactions that conserve the numbers of angular, branched, terminal, and 12-membered rings are thermoneutral, and their net DeltaRtot and DeltaNICS(1) are also nearly zero.

The synthesis of constrained 12-membered rings is notably difficult. The main challenges result from constraints during the linear peptide cyclization. Attempts to overcome constraints through excessive activation frequently cause peptidyl epimerization, while insufficient activation of the C-terminus hampers cyclization and promotes intermolecular oligomer formation.

Article Synopsis
- Artificial protein cages, like the TRAP-cage, have significant potential for applications in vaccines and drug delivery due to their customizable properties.
- The TRAP-cage demonstrates the ability to control disassembly under specific conditions because it can be made from flexible homo-11mer and hendecamer rings, despite the challenge posed by convex polyhedra formation.
- Recent research on a dodecamer TRAP variant reveals how it can form a regular protein cage, shedding light on the structural limits of protein cages and informing predictions for the creation of other TRAP-based structures with varying monomer compositions.
Hydrogen Peroxide Disproportionation Activity Is Sensitive to Pyridine Substitutions on Manganese Catalysts Derived from 12-Membered Tetra-Aza Macrocyclic Ligands.

The abundance of manganese in nature and versatility to access different oxidation states have made manganese complexes attractive as catalysts for oxidation reactions in both biology and industry. Macrocyclic ligands offer the advantage of substantially controlling the reactivity of the manganese center through electronic tuning and steric constraint. Inspired by the manganese catalase enzyme, a biological catalyst for the disproportionation of HO into water and O, the work herein employs 12-membered tetra-aza macrocyclic ligands to study how the inclusion of and substitution to the pyridine ring on the macrocyclic ligand scaffold impacts the reactivity of the manganese complex as a HO disproportionation catalyst.

In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a plutonium(IV) borophosphate, Pu(HO)[B(OH)(HO)(PO)] (1). The basic building unit of 1 has a B : P ratio of 2 : 3 with an equal number of BO and PO groups that assemble into 12-membered rings and take on a sheet topology due to presence of hydroxyl groups or a water molecule on one vertex of each BO tetrahedron. This unique borophosphate anion topology is not observed in other members of the borophosphate family; it is the plutonium(IV) metal centers, rather than borate or phosphate groups, that link the sheets to form an extended framework.
