The novel title double-butterfly Fe/S cluster complex, [Fe(4)(C(4)H(8)S(2))(2)(CO)(12)], which is structurally similar to the active site of the Fe-only hydrogenases, contains two inversion-related Fe(2)S(2)(CO)(6) subcluster cores connected by two equivalent butyl chains to afford a 16-membered macrocycle. The formation of the 16-membered macrocycle has an influence on the C-S-Fe angles, while the Fe-Fe and Fe-S bond lengths remain similar to those in related complexes.

Doramectin, a 16-membered macrocyclic lactone that is widely used in the treatment of mammalian parasitic diseases. Doramectin was produced by mutant using cyclohexanecarboxylic acid as a precursor. As a semi-synthetic insecticidal agent produced, the production of doramectin was low, which could not be satisfy the demands of industrial fermentation.

Understanding how changes in structure translate to changes in molecular shape is key to catalyst optimization and molecular design in medicinal chemistry and materials. One key contributor to the molecular shape is the relative orientation of substituents on a scaffold. Macrocyclic metacyclophanes display their two arenes in a parallel or antiparallel fashion, resulting in or conformations that lead to disparate relative orientations of the aryl substituents.

The duality of function (cell cycle regulation and gene transcription) of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) makes it an attractive oncology target and the discovery of CDK7 inhibitors has been a long-term pursuit by academia and pharmaceutical companies. However, achieving selective leading compounds is still difficult owing to the similarities among the ATP binding pocket. Herein, we detail the design and synthesis of a series of macrocyclic derivatives with pyrazolo[1,5-]-1,3,5-triazine core structure as potent and selective CDK7 inhibitors.

A new family of 16-membered macrocycles comprising two indole (In) and two quinoline (Q) units, coined In2Q2, was synthesized. Each unit is diagonally located and concatenated in a head-to-tail fashion, furnishing a non-flat saddle-shaped architecture with C symmetry. The synthetic protocol utilizing macrocyclic diamide as a pivotal precursor allowed us to access a series of In2Q2 derivatives bearing various substituents on the periphery.

A set of ruthenium complexes bearing a CAAC or uNHC ligand and a dithiocatechol fragment have been obtained and characterized spectroscopically. The activity and -selectivity of the newly obtained catalysts were studied in selected model CM, self-CM, and RCM olefin metathesis reactions. Intriguingly, and in contrast to structurally related NHC-bearing catalysts and , the CAAC and uNHC analogues showed no or only very little activity in olefin metathesis.
