The hydroxo-complexes [Ni(2)(mcN(3))(2)(mu-OH)](2)(PF(6))(2)] [mcN(3) = 2,4,4-trimethyl-1,5,9-triazacyclododec-1-ene (Me(3)-mcN(3)) or 2,4,4,9-tetramethyl-1,5,9-triazacyclododec-1-ene (Me(4)-mcN(3))] react with imides (Him) in 1 : 2 (succinimide, glutarimide, saccharine and 1,8-naphthalimide) or 1 : 1 (pyromellitic diimide) molar ratio, leading to the formation of the imidate complexes: [Ni(mcN(3))(H(2)O)(Im)](+) (Im = succi, gluti, sac), [Ni(mcN(3))(naphthi)](+) and [Ni(mcN(3))(H(2)O)](2)(mu-pyrdi)](2+). The single crystal structures of [Ni(Me(3)-mcN(3))(H(2)O)(sac)](PF(6)) (3a) and [Ni(Me(4)-mcN(3))(H(2)O)(sac)](sac) (3b) show that, in 3a, sac exhibits a N-monodentate coordination mode, while in 3b the coordination is through oxygen. X-Ray structure of [Ni(Me(4)-mcN(3))(naphthi)](PF(6)) (4b) shows N,O-bonded 1,8-naphthalimidate ligand. The VT (1)H NMR study, carried out on this complex, suggests that the rotation around the Ni-N bond is hindered by ca. 11.6 kcal mol(-1). These species exhibit blue luminescence which arises from a mixed MLCT and LC excited state, and these properties may be useful for structural predictions in the solid state of complexes for which crystal structures have not been established.

Shear mode ultrasonic waves are in high demand for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications owing to their nondispersive characteristics, singular mode, and minimal energy loss, especially in harsh environments. However, the generation and detection of a pure shear wave using conventional piezoelectric materials present substantial challenges because of their complex piezoelectric response, involving multiple modes. Herein, we introduce a high-quality piezoelectric crystal BiSiO (BSO), exhibiting a robust piezoelectric response ( = 45.

RF-sputtering is used to deposit TiO-Magneli-phase films onto various substrates at deposition temperatures (T) ranging from 25 to 650 °C. Not only the structural, but also electrical conductivity, optical absorbance and photothermal properties of the TiO films are shown to change significantly with T. A T of 500 °C is pointed out as the optimal temperature that yields highly-crystalized pure-TiO-Magneli phase with a densely-packed morphology and a conductivity as high as 740 S/cm.

Topological semimetals have recently garnered widespread interest in the quantum materials research community due to their symmetry-protected surface states with dissipationless transport which have potential applications in next-generation low-power electronic devices. One such material, [Formula: see text], exhibits Dirac nodal arcs and although the topological properties of single crystals have been investigated, there have been no reports in crystalline thin film geometry. We examined the growth of [Formula: see text] heterostructures on a range of single crystals by optimizing the electron beam evaporation of Pt and Sn and studied the effect of vacuum thermal annealing on phase and crystallinity.

We describe a structural and functional study of the G protein-coupled apelin receptor, which binds two endogenous peptide ligands, apelin and Elabela/Toddler (ELA), to regulate cardiovascular development and function. Characterisation of naturally occurring apelin receptor variants from the UK Genomics England 100,000 Genomes Project, and AlphaFold2 modelling, identifies T89 as important in the ELA binding site, and R168 as forming extensive interactions with the C-termini of both peptides. Base editing to introduce an R/H168 variant into human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes demonstrates that this residue is critical for receptor binding and function.
