Four thiacalix[4]biscrown ethers with 1,3-alternate conformation were examined for the potentiometric responses in poly(vinyl chloride) membrane electrodes. Their potentiometric selectivities toward potassium and cesium ions over other alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metal ions were measured by the fixed interference method (FIM). Among the ionophores, 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]biscrown-6,6 showed a high selectivity for cesium over potassium ion and so was optimized as a Cs(+)-selective electrode. The electrode exhibited a linear response with a near Nernstian slope of 57.6mV per decade in the concentration range of 1.0x10(-6) to 3.2x10(-2)M. It was suitable for use in aqueous solution in a wide range of pH 2.5-12.5 and had a fast response time of ca. 5s. On the basis of 1,3-alternate thiacalix[4]biscrown-6,6, the electrode has a wide linear range and selectivity for cesium ion over potassium ion ( log K (Cs (+ ),K (+))=- 3.7 ) better than those previously reported with other ionophores.

Article Synopsis
- * The study introduces new "fine-tuned" ChE inhibitors called PAMAM-calix-dendrimers, which were designed and synthesized with varying terminal fragments.
- * Experimental results show that these dendrimers effectively inhibit human acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, with their activity linked to their structure, paving the way for future drug development.

The rational design of organic ligands with the aim to control their binding abilities towards different metal ions can be considered as one of the key concepts in supramolecular coordination chemistry. Regarding the macrocyclic compounds of thiacalix[4]arene family, this can be achieved the targeted modulation of macrocyclic platform rigidity as well as the proper choice of appended binding sites. Four macrocyclic salen-type ligands based on lower rim disubstituted thiacalix[4]arene derivatives, adopted in a cone conformation, bearing highly coordinating iminophenolic or catecholic groups and two -CH- moieties as spacers but presenting different abilities to form H-bonds, were chosen to elucidate the interplay between the conformational flexibility of the macrocyclic ligands, propensity to participate in the intermolecular H-bonding and the extraction ability of 3d-metal cations.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers are developing a new method for creating single-site catalysts by depositing dome-shaped metal-organic complexes on metallic surfaces, combining characteristics of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
- A specific molybdenum(0) tricarbonyl complex, supported by thiacalix[3]pyridine, is synthesized and deposited on gold and silver surfaces through vacuum evaporation.
- The study uses surface spectroscopy and STM to show that the complex remains parallel to the surface and exhibits improved stability and lower reactivity towards oxygen compared to a similar complex with an azacalixpyridine ligand.

The pursuit of precision in the engineering of metal nanoparticle assemblies has long fascinated scientists, but achieving atomic-level accuracy continues to pose a significant challenge. This research sheds light on the hierarchical assembly processes of two high-nuclearity Cu(I) nanoclusters (NCs). By employing a multiligand cooperative stabilization strategy, we have isolated a series of thiacalix[4]arene (TC4A)/alkynyl coprotected Cu(I) NCs (, where = , , , ).
