The thermally stable [(tBuMe2 Si)2 M] (M=Zn, Hg) generate R3 Si(.) radicals in the presence of [(dmpe)Pt(PEt3 )2 ] at 60-80 °C. The reaction proceeds via hexacoordinate Pt complexes, (M=Zn (2 a and 2 b), M=Hg (3 a and 3 b)) which were isolated and characterized. Mild warming or photolysis of 2 or 3 lead to homolytic dissociation of the Pt-MSiR3 bond generating silyl radicals and novel unstable pentacoordinate platinum paramagnetic complexes (M=Zn (5), Hg (6)) whose structures were determined by EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.

The synthesis and characterization of novel compounds (5-8) as mimetics of [FeFe]-hydrogenase, combining two distinct systems capable of participating in hydrogen evolution reactions (HER): the [(μ-adt)Fe(CO)] fragment and M-salen complexes (salen=N,N'-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine) (M=Zn, Ni, Fe, Mn), is reported. These complexes were synthesized in high yields via a three-step procedure from N,N'-bis(4-R-salicylidene)ethanediamine) 4 [R=Fe(CO)(μ-SCH)NCOCHO]. Structural analysis through spectroscopic, spectrometric, and computational (DFT) methods confirmed distorted tetrahedral and square-planar geometries for Zn-salen and Ni-salen complexes (5 and 6) respectively, while complexes Fe-salen 7 and Mn-salen 8 exhibit square-based pyramidal structures typical of Fe(III) and Mn(III) high-spin salen-complexes.

Article Synopsis
- Gas evolution in aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) leads to gas buildup and swelling, which harms battery performance and has been primarily attributed to hydrogen production.
- New research reveals the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) evolution in AZMBs, identifying its sources and suggesting strategies to modulate the electrolyte to mitigate this issue.
- The study utilized advanced techniques to detect CO production in specific battery setups, determining that it originates mainly from the corrosion of conductive carbon in the cathode, with certain electrolytes showing resistance to this gas production.

Background: In the last few decades, the field of coordination chemistry has grown very fast, especially in the fields of pharmaceutical, biological and catalytic studies. In ancient times, metals were thought to be beneficial to health issues but nowadays the link between organic-metal substances and different industrial and medicinal properties is well established.
Methods: A Schiff base ligand (2-fluoro-N'-[(E)-2-hydroxyphenyl) methylene] benzohydrazide) was reacted with a series of transition metals to produce complexes with a general formula [ML(NO)]NO.

2,6-Dipicolinoylbis(-dialkylthioureas), HL, readily react with uranyl salts under formation of monomeric or dimeric complexes of the compositions [UO(L)(solv)] (solv = donor solvents such as HO, MeOH or DMF) or [{UO(L)(µ-OMe)}] (). In such complexes, the uranyl ions are exclusively coordinated by the "hard" ,, or donor atom sets of the central ligand unit and the lateral sulfur donor atoms do not participate in the coordination. Different conformations have been found for the dimeric anions.

Metalated intact and deprotonated histidyl glycine and glycyl histidine dipeptides were investigated in the gas phase by using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy with light from a free-electron laser (FEL). The dipeptides M(GlyHis), M(HisGly), [M(GlyHis-H)], and [M(HisGly-H)], where M = Zn and Cd, were probed to elucidate how the His position along the peptide chain and ligand charge state might influence the structures observed in the gas phase. Simulated annealing calculations were performed to determine energetically low-lying conformers and isomers of these structures.
