A theoretical study of the electric-field effect on the electronic structures and related properties of the cation compound containing 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and imidazole unit has been carried out, using the density functional theory (DFT) at the (U) B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level. The changes and regularities of geometric and electronic properties of the researched compound under electric field were revealed in detail. The results show the following: (1) Electric field has a very important effect on the orbital energy, dipole moment, natural population, and structure of the cation compound. Most of these properties are changed orderly with the increase of the electric-field intensity. (2) It is very interesting to find that in the present different electric-field intensities, the structure of cation compound after getting an electron becomes bis-radical form, that is, no mater in or out of electric-field, the cation compound will exist in a triplet state after getting an electron. (3) When getting an electron, the change of the cation structure mainly appears on the imizadole head, and when losing an electron, the change mainly appears on the TEMPO head. These theoretical results considering the electric-field effect for the cation compound help to explain the related experimental phenomena and further to direct the functional molecular design of this kind of compound.

Antimicrobial drug resistance is a significant global health challenge, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths annually and severely impacting healthcare systems worldwide. Several reported antimicrobial compounds have a guanidine motif, as the positive charge on guanidine promotes cell lysis. Therefore, pyrrole- and indole-based allylidene hydrazine carboximidamide derivatives with guanidine motifs are proposed as antimicrobial agents that mimic cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs).

Ca and Mg are essential nutrients, and deficiency can cause serious health problems. Thus, lack of Ca and Mg can lead to osteoporosis, with incidence rising both in absolute and age-specific terms, while Mg deficiency is associated with type II diabetes. Prevention via vitamin D or estrogen is controversial, and the bioavailability of Ca and Mg from supplements is significantly lower than that from milk products.

A novel antimonotungstate (AT)-based heterometallic framework {[Er(HO)][Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)]}·50HO (, Hpdc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) was obtained through a synergistic strategy of in situ-generated transition-metal-encapsulated polyoxometalate (POM) building units and the substitution reaction. Its structural unit is composed of a tetra-Fe-substituted Krebs-type [Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)] subunit and two [Er(HO)] cations. This subunit can be regarded as a product of carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpdc ligands replacing active water ligands in the [Fe(HO)(B-β-SbWO)] species.

An idea of using ion-exchanger salt containing optically active cations to prepare ion-selective membranes is proposed. Although the presence of an ion-exchanger in the composition of neutral ionophore based sensors is necessary, the choice of available salts for cation-selective sensors preparation, is usually limited to sodium or potassium compounds. In this work we propose application of an alternative salt, using a cation optically active both in absorption and emission mode as a mobile one.
