A quatridentate bis-amide ligand, N,N'-propylenebis(salicylamide) H2pbs, and its transition metal complexes [M(pbs)(H2O)2], where M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR, Mass, EPR, molar conductivity, magnetic moment values and thermal analysis. The NMR spectrum of ligand evidences the E/Z isomerism. All the evidences reveal that the metal ions adopt octahedral geometry with metal:ligand:solvent ratio 1:1:2. The conductivity measurements exhibit that the complexes are non-electrolytes. DNA binding properties of these complexes have been explored by UV-Vis and cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that these complexes are good intercalators.

Benzo-fused γ-lactams are fundamental in medicinal chemistry, acting as essential elements for various therapeutic agents due to their structural adaptability and capability to enhance biological activity. In their synthesis, transition metals play a pivotal role as catalysts, offering more efficient alternatives to traditional methods by facilitating C-N bond formation through mechanisms like intramolecular coupling. Recent advances have especially spotlighted transition-metal-catalyzed C-H amination reactions for directly converting C(sp)-H to C(sp)-N bonds, streamlining the creation of these compounds.

In quantum information science and sensing, electron spins are often purified into a specific polarization through an optical-spin interface, a process known as optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR). Diamond-NV centers and transition metals are both excellent platforms for these so-called color centers, while metal-free molecular analogues are also gaining popularity for their extended polarization lifetimes, milder environmental impacts, and reduced costs. In our earlier attempt at designing such organic high-spin π-diradicals, we proposed to spin-polarize by shelving triplet = ±1 populations as singlets.

Objective: Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is a common malignancy that starts in the top layer of the skin. Exposure to heavy metals has been suggested to increase the risk of skin cancer. Cadmium, prevalent in various industries and present in cigarette smoke, has been implicated in potential skin effects in animal studies.

Background: It is known that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) often converts to euthyroidism. However, the mechanism of such changes is unclear and can only be speculated. This difficulty is likely due to limitations in diagnostic guidelines and their interpretation.

Background: To date, there is no effective cure for the highly malignant brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). GBM is the most common, aggressive central nervous system tumor (CNS). It commonly originates in glial cells such as microglia, oligodendroglia, astrocytes, or subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSCs).
