Heterobimetallic drive and cooperativity lead to a striking scenario for C-H bond activation and heteroaggregation involving Mo(III) dimers. Reaction of (RO)(3)Mo[triple bond]Mo(OR)(3) with molar excess of ZnMe(2) at-78 degrees C affords the novel mixed Zn, Mo oxo clusters [Mo(2)(MeZn)(6)(mu(2)-Me)(mu(3)-CH(2))(2)(OR)(7)] 1 (R = neopentyl) and 2 (R = cyclohexyl) preserving the Mo[triple bond]Mo triple bond, while the same reaction performed at ambient temperature gives rise to the related cluster [Mo(2)(MeZn)(6)(mu(2)-CH(2))(mu(3)-CH(2))(2)(OR)(6)] 3. These complexes represent the first examples of heterobimetallic Mo[triple bond]Mo complexes with bridging methyl and methylene groups and agostic C-H-->Mo interactions, as well as penta-coordinate carbon. The complexes 1-3 were characterized by elemental analyses, multinuclear NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Poisoning by organophosphate (OP) nerve agents remains a pressing global threat due to their extensive use in chemical warfare agents and pesticides, potentially causing high morbidity and mortality worldwide. This urgent need for effective countermeasures has driven considerable interest in innovative detoxification approaches. Among these, nanoparticle technology stands out for its multifunctional potential and wide-ranging applications.

Competition is ubiquitous and an important driver of tree mortality. Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs, including soluble sugars and starch) and C-N-P stoichiometries are affected by the competitive status of trees and, in turn, physiologically determine tree growth and survival in competition. However, the physiological mechanisms behind tree mortality caused by intraspecific competition remain unclear.

The Hao-Fountain syndrome protein USP7 regulates neuronal connectivity in the brain via a novel p53-independent ubiquitin signaling pathway.

Electronic address:

Mutation or deletion of the deubiquitinase USP7 causes Hao-Fountain syndrome (HAFOUS), which is characterized by speech delay, intellectual disability, and aggressive behavior and highlights important unknown roles of USP7 in the nervous system. Here, we conditionally delete USP7 in glutamatergic neurons in the mouse forebrain, triggering disease-relevant phenotypes, including sensorimotor deficits, impaired cognition, and aggressive behavior. Although USP7 deletion induces p53-dependent neuronal apoptosis, most behavioral abnormalities in USP7 conditional knockout mice persist following p53 loss.
