We describe a ligand system that forms either a dinuclear double helicate or a dinuclear double mesocate dependent upon the size of the metal ion or the steric bulk of the ligand strand.

New cobalt-based metal-organic frameworks for catalysing sulfite in the degradation of reactive brilliant red.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores advanced oxidation processes using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to improve the breakdown of synthetic dyes in wastewater.
- Four new MOFs were synthesized, each with different structures and coordination of cobalt ions, and were tested as catalysts for degrading the dye X3B through sulfite activation.
- Results showed that two specific catalysts (1/SO and 4/SO) had much higher efficiency in degrading X3B, while the others were less effective; the processes relied on factors like how well the dye was absorbed and the presence of coordination vacancies in the metal ions.
Accurate Thermochemistry with Multireference Methods: A Stress Test for Internally Contracted Multireference Coupled-Cluster Theory.

The internally contracted multireference coupled-cluster method with single, double and perturbative triple excitations, icMRCCSD(T), was tested for its performance in the context of computational high-accuracy thermochemistry. The results were gauged against the standard single-reference coupled-cluster hierarchy with up to 5-fold excitations. The test set comprised of a selection of first-row dinuclear compounds and the three 3d-transition metal compounds MnH, FeH, and CoH.

Article Synopsis
- DNA three-way junctions play a crucial role in biological processes and can be used in disease treatment; this study focuses on how specific nickel cylinders interact with these junctions.
- The nickel cylinders demonstrated a strong preference for binding to Y-shaped DNA three-way junctions even when faced with competing DNA structures, effectively halting DNA synthesis by stabilizing the junctions on the template strand.
- Additionally, the study found that these cylinders can cause DNA damage in cancer cells, leading to double-strand breaks, which suggests potential therapeutic implications and risks associated with their use.
Helical dinuclear 3d metal complexes with bis(bidentate) [S,N] ligands: synthesis, structural and computational studies.

A diprotic bis(β-thioketoimine) ligand precursor featuring a flexible 4,4'-methylbis(aniline) linker, H2, was synthesised treatment of the corresponding bis(β-ketoimine) with Lawesson's reagent. Lithiation of H2 and coordination with one equivalent of d-block metal(II) chlorides MCl(THF) (M = Fe, Co and Zn) yielded a corresponding series of homoleptic dinuclear complexes, [M(μ-2)]. X-ray diffraction analysis reveals a tetrahedral geometry for the two metals and a double-stranded helicate structure arising from inter-strand face-face π-stacking.

ConspectusAlkenes and alkynes are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis due to their commercial availability, bench-stability, and easy preparation. Selective functionalization of alkenes and alkynes is a crucial step for the synthesis of value-added compounds. Precise control over these reactions allows efficient construction of complex molecules with new functionalities.
