Density functional calculations on the experimentally unknown neutral analogue of Roussin's red salt anion, namely Fe(2)(NO)(4)S(2), predict ground state structures with diradical character. The presence of a reactive diradical ground state with unpaired electrons for the neutral Fe(2)(NO)(4)S(2) system could explain why it has not yet been synthesized.

L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5), overexpressed in various cancers, mediates the uptake of essential amino acids crucial for tumor growth. It has emerged as a promising target for cancer therapy. Nanvuranlat (JPH203/KYT-0353), a LAT1 inhibitor, has shown antitumor activity in preclinical studies and efficacy in biliary tract cancer during clinical trials.

The present study details the synthesis and characterization of a robust, monomeric Al-H aluminate supported by a tridentate -phenolate ligand, isolated as [][Li(THF)] and [][N(Bu)] salts, which were then exploited as CO hydroboration catalysts. As initial reactivity studies, it was observed that the nucleophilic Al-H anion in [][C] (C = countercation [Li(THF)] or [N(Bu)]) reacts fast with CO, to afford the corresponding Al-formate complexes [][C], which were isolated and structurally characterized. Such anions were then exploited as potential CO reduction catalysts.

Dioxiranes and their heavier chalcogen analogs have long been recognized as pivotal reagents and intermediates in synthetic chemistry, while trioxetanes have largely remained theoretical constructs. In this work, we present the synthesis of neutral, isoelectronic aluminum/chalcogen analogs of dioxiranes and trioxetanes, specifically aluminadiselenirane, aluminaditellurirane, aluminatriselenetane, aluminatritelluretane, and a mixed Se/Te analog of aluminatrichalcogenetane. These compounds, featuring strained AlCh2 and AlCh3 ring (Ch = Se, Te), exhibit significant polarization between the aluminum and chalcogen components.

The Selectivity Filter (SF) in tetrameric K channels, has a highly conserved sequence, TVGYG, at the extracellular entry to the channel pore region. There, the backbone carbonyl oxygens from the SF residues, create a stack of K binding sites where dehydrated K binds to induce a conductive conformation of the SF. This increases intersubunit interactions and confers a higher stability to the channel against thermal denaturation.

Efficient and safe carriers of genetic material are crucial for advancing gene therapy. Three new series of cationic dendritic nanocarriers based on a carbosilane scaffold, differentiated by peripheral modifications: saccharide (CS-glyco), amine (CS-N), and phosphonium dendrimers (CS-P) were designed for binding, protecting, and releasing polyanionic compounds like therapeutic siRNA. Besides introducing synthetic methodology, this study brings a unique direct interstructural comparison of 16 dendritic nanovector's characteristics, addressing a gap in typical research that focuses on uniform structural types.
