High-quality crystals of two bis(phenolate)titanium complexes, namely dichlorido{4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-[cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(sulfanediyl)]diphenolato}titanium(IV), [Ti(C(20)H(22)O(2)S(2))Cl(2)], (I), and dichlorido{2,2'-[cyclohexane-1,2-diylbis(sulfanediyl)]diphenolato}titanium(IV), [Ti(C(18)H(18)O(2)S(2))Cl(2)], (II), were obtained by reactive crystallization. Depending on the solvent, compound (II) was obtained as unsolvated (IIa) or as the toluene hemisolvate, [Ti(C(18)H(18)O(2)S(2))Cl(2)].0.5C(7)H(8), (IIb). These systems without bulky substituents on the aromatic phenolate rings serve as ideal model compounds for precatalysts. The excellent X-ray diffraction data will help clarify the nature of the mismatched interactions between the soft S atoms within the ligand and the hard titanium center. Molecule (I) has crystallographic C(2) symmetry.

Background/purpose: Multiple augmentation protocols are documented in the literature to rebuild the deficient alveolar ridge after tooth extraction; however, achieving adequate vertical augmentation remains the most challenging goal. This study demonstrated a novel surgical technique of early vertical ridge augmentation for post-dental extraction. This technique offers several biological and technical advantages regarding the timing of the procedure and its relative simplicity compared to other complex techniques.

Introduction: Current intestinal models lack the mechanical forces present in the physiological environment, limiting their reliability for nanotoxicology studies. Here, we developed an enhanced Caco-2/HT29-MTX-E12 co-culture model incorporating orbital mechanical stimulation to better replicate intestinal conditions and investigate nanoparticle interactions.
Methods: We established co-cultures under static and dynamic conditions, evaluating their development through multiple approaches including barrier integrity measurements, gene expression analysis, and confocal microscopy.

Thallium (Tl), recognized for its high toxicity, is subject to stringent international regulations regarding its permissible concentrations at ultra-trace levels. In this study, titanium dioxide (TiO) was integrated with potassium (K)-rich biochar to create TiO/biochar (TiO/BC) composites for synergistic enhancement in ultra-trace Tl(I) removal, focusing on achieving concentration below the rigorous local threshold of 0.1 μg/L for drinking water.

Background: Prosthetic joint infection is a serious complication that can arise after total joint replacement surgery. When bacteria colonise an orthopaedic implant, they form biofilms that protect them from their environment, making them difficult to remove. Treatment is further complicated by a global rise of antimicrobial resistance.
