Valence (redox) isomerism based on electron exchange between a metal and a ligand is immensely rare in purely inorganic systems, with only one documented case, that of PbS which adopts two polymorphic forms corresponding to Pb(iv)(S) and Pb(ii)(S). Here we have taken advantage of metathetic reactions using salts of weakly coordinating anions and we have prepared for the first time Ag(i)SO, silver(i) peroxydisulphate. The title compound crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric Cc space group with partial disorder of the anionic sublattice. Ag(i)SO is a highly thermally unstable diamagnetic and colourless valence isomer of the antiferromagnetic and black Ag(ii)SO, described by us in the past.

Biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) is a redox regulator that catalyzes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reductions of multiple substrates, including flavins and biliverdin-β. BLVRB has emerging roles in redox regulation and post-translational modifications, highlighting its importance in various physiological contexts. In this study, we explore the structural and functional differences between human BLVRB and its hyrax homologue, focusing on evolutionary adaptations at the active site and allosteric regions.

Quenching peroxynitrite (a reactive oxidant species) is a vital process in biological systems and environmental chemistry as it maintains redox balance and mitigates damaging effects in living cells and the environment. In this study, we report a systematic analysis of the mechanism of transforming peroxynitrite into nitrate using diaryl selenide in water. Through quantum mechanical calculations, we investigate the dynamic isomerization of peroxynitrite in a homogeneous catalytic environment.

Redox-active covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been demonstrated as promising organic electrodes in many electrochemical devices. However, their inherently low conductivity significantly hinders the full utilization of their internal redox-active sites. To address this issue, a simple solvothermal method is used to in situ polymerize 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol (TP) and p-phenylenediamine (PA) on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), generating a nanocable-like COF-based nanocomposite, TpPa-COF@CNT nanocables, which contain abundant β-ketoenamine groups.

Thiyl radicals are important reactive sulfur species and can cause cis to trans isomerization on unsaturated fatty acids. However, biocompatible strategies for the controlled generation of thiyl radicals are still lacking. In this work, we report the study of a series of naphthacyl-derived thioethers as photo-triggered thiyl radical precursors.
