Two synthetic routes to bifunctional P(V)/P(V) compounds of the type EPR(2)NP(I)R(2) have been developed. The reaction of Li[EP(i)Pr(2)NP(i)Pr(2)] with one molar equivalent of I(2) produces EP(i)Pr(2)NP(I)(i)Pr(2) (3a-I, E = Se; 3b-I, E = Te). Alternatively, the oxidation of Na[N(P(t)Bu(2))(2)] with I(2) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) generates the P(III)/P(V) compound (t)Bu(2)PNP(I)(t)Bu(2) (6'-I) which, on treatment with elemental selenium or tellurium in THF, yields EP(t)Bu(2)NP(I)(t)Bu(2) (3a'-I, E = Se; 3b'-I, E = Te). The acyclic compounds 3a-I, 3a'-I, 3b-I, 3b'-I, and 6'-I have been characterized in solution by multinuclear ((1)H, (31)P, (77)Se, and (125)Te) NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray structural determinations.

A practical and efficient reaction for C-selenylation of 1,4-naphthoquinones has been explored. This coupling reaction of two redox structural motifs, such as 2-bromo-1,4-naphthoquinone with diaryldiselenide/ebselen has been achieved by using sodium borohydride reducing agent at room temperature. Using this approach, several 2-selenylated-1,4-naphthoquinones were obtained in moderate to good yields and thoroughly characterized by multinuclear (H, C, and Se) NMR, cyclic voltammetry, and mass spectrometry.

Polynuclear Au(I) cluster photocatalysts, known for their high activity and stability, hold substantial potential in organic synthetic chemistry. This study synthesized two Au(I) supramolecular cluster catalysts with different nuclearities: a tetranuclear cluster, C1 ([(dppmAu)L] • PF ), and a hexadecanuclear cluster, C2 [(dppmAu)(Au)(L)] • 4PF , through a multicomponent stepwise self-assembly approach. Both cluster structures feature aurophilicity interaction motifs that endow them with exceptional photocatalytic performance, exhibiting optical band gaps of 2.

A series of homoleptic rare earth (RE) complexes bearing phosphino-aryloxide ligands (, ) has been prepared. The complexes have been characterised using multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis. Structural characterisation highlighted the different RE-P interactions as a result of differing Lewis acidity and ionic size across the series, hinting at the possibility of FLP-type activity.

Mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are frequent in the European population. The pathophysiological changes after TBI include metabolic changes, but these are not observable using current clinical tools. We aimed to evaluate multinuclear MRI as a mean of assessing these changes.

Background: Giant cell (gc)-enriched glioblastoma (gcGB) represents a distinct histological variant of isocitrate dehydrogenase wild-type adult-type glioblastoma with notable enlarged mono- or multinuclear tumor cells. While some studies suggest a survival advantage for gcGB patients, the underlying causes remain elusive. GcGBs are associated with TP53 mutations, and gcs were shown to accumulate DNA double-strand breaks and show deficient mitosis, potentially triggering cellular senescence programs.
