Molybdenum and tungsten bis(dinitrogen) complexes of the formula M(N(2))(2)(PNP)(2) (M = Mo and W) and W(N(2))(2)(dppe)(PNP), supported by diphosphine ligands containing a pendant amine of the formula (CH(2)PR(2))(2)NR' = P(R)N(R')P(R) (R = Et, Ph; R' = Me, Bn), have been prepared by Mg reduction of metal halides under an N(2) atmosphere. The complexes have been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and cyclic voltammetry. Reactivity of the target Mo and W bis(dinitrogen) compounds with CO results in the formation of dicarbonyl complexes.

MoeA, also known as gephyrin in higher eukaryotes, is an enzyme essential for molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis and involved in GABA and GlyR receptor clustering at the synapse in animals. We recently discovered that Actinobacteria have a repurposed version of MoeA (Glp) linked to bacterial cell division. Since MoeA exists in all domains of life, our study explores how it gained multifunctionality over time.

W-Mo-V high-speed steel (HSS) is a high-alloy high-carbon steel with a high content of carbon, tungsten, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium components. This type of high-speed steel has excellent red hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. In this study, the alloying element ratios were adjusted based on commercial HSS powders.

Low-color-temperature candlelight organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) offer a healthier lighting alternative by minimizing blue light exposure, which is known to disrupt circadian rhythms, suppress melatonin, and potentially harm the retina with prolonged use. In this study, we explore the integration of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), specifically molybdenum disulfide (MoS) and tungsten disulfide (WS), into the hole injection layers (HILs) of OLEDs to enhance their performance. The TMDs, which are known for their superior carrier mobility, optical properties, and 2D layered structure, were doped at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% in PEDOT:PSS-based HILs.

: Limited evidence links urinary metal exposure to osteoporosis in broad populations, prompting this study to cover this knowledge gap using supervised and unsupervised approaches. : This study included 15,923 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 1999 to 2020. Urinary concentrations of nine metals-barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), cesium (Cs), molybdenum (Mo), lead (Pb), antimony (Sb), thallium (Tl), and tungsten (Tu)-were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Dihydrogen activation by metallogermylenes was investigated experimentally and theoretically. A neutral NHC-coordinated chlorometallogermylene was synthesized and converted to a cationic base-free metallogermylene of molybdenum via chloride abstraction. The cationic molybdogermylene showed enhanced reactivity toward H compared to the tungsten analog.
