Studies of the protonation of [Fe2(CO)4(kappa2-PNP)(mu-pdt)] (1; PNP = (Ph2PCH2)2NCH3) by HBF4.Et2O showed that the nature of the reaction product depends on whether the reaction is conducted in acetone or in dichloromethane. In acetone, an N-protonated form, 2, is isolated. Tautomerization of 2 in CH2Cl2 gives rise to a mu-hydride species 3. Variable-temperature NMR experiments have been performed to clarify the processes involved.

Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Shimane University, 1060, Nishikawatsu, Matsue 690-8504, Shimane, Japan.

A series of luminescent bis-cyclometalated iridium complexes with 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (tpy), [Ir()(tpy)]PF ( = 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy) for ; benzo[h]quinolinate (bzq) for ; 1-phenylisoquinolinate (piq) for ; and 2-phenylbenzothiazolate (pbt) for ), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that the tpy ligands of - are coordinated to the iridium center in a bidentate fashion, and the uncoordinated pendant pyridine rings in the tpy ligands of - form intramolecular π-π stacking interactions with a phenyl moiety of ligands. In addition, the pendant pyridine ring in the tpy ligand of forms an intramolecular hydrogen bonding interaction, unlike in -.

Saturated sp-carbon nanothreads (CNTh) have garnered significant interest due to their predicted high Young's modulus and thermal conductivity. While the incorporation of heteroatoms into the central ring has been shown to influence the formation of CNTh and yield chemically homogeneous products, the impact of pendant groups on the polymerization process remains underexplored. In this study, we investigate the pressure-induced polymerization of phenol, revealing two phase transitions occurring below 0.

Pendant organic chromophores have been used to improve the photocatalytic performance of many metal-based photosensitizers, particularly in first-row metals, by increasing π conjugation in ligands and lowering the energy of the photoactive absorption band. Using a combination of spectroscopic studies and computational modeling, we rationalize the excited state dynamics of a Co(III) complex containing pendant pyrene moieties, , where = 1,1'-(4-(pyren-1-yl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(3-methyl-1-imidazol-3-ium). displays higher visible absorptivity, and blue luminescence from pyrene singlet excited states compared with [ = 1,1'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(3-methyl-1-imidazol-3-ium)] in which the pyrene moiety is absent.

Wearable Technology in Mobility and Falls Health Care: Finding Consensus on Their Clinical Utility and Identifying a Roadmap to Actual Use.

J Geriatr Phys Ther

January 2025

Neuroscience Research Australia, Randwick, New South Wales, Australia (Drs Ambrens and van Schooten and Professors Delbaere and Close).

Background: Despite the promise wearable technology offers through detailed insight into mobility and fall risk, timely identification of high risk, assessment of risk severity, evaluation of clinical interventions, and potential to redefine the assessment of behaviours which influence health, they are not routinely used in clinical practice.

Objective: Establish consensus on how wearable technology can be applied to support clinical care for people aged 50 and over experiencing changes to mobility and/or who are at increased risk of falling.

Methods: A Delphi study was conducted among 17 hospital-based health professionals.

Article Synopsis
  • FRET (Förster resonance energy transfer) is a technique used in gas-phase structural biology to analyze the structures of biological molecules like peptides and proteins by using donor and acceptor dyes.
  • The study investigates how different amino acid (AA) methyl esters connected to a rhodamine dye affect energy transfer, employing cryogenic ion fluorescence spectroscopy for analysis.
  • Results reveal that the variation in spectral outputs stems from the conformations of the dye, which are influenced by the AA side chains, and specific angles between two aromatic components that impact energy transfer efficiency.
