Dinuclear and trinuclear ruthenium complexes, [Ru(trop)(Ctrop)Ru(dppe)Cp] [2b; trop = tropolonato, Ctrop = ethynyltropolonato, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] and [Ru(trop){(Ctrop)Ru(dppe)Cp}] (3), were synthesized, and their electronic and electrochemical properties were investigated in comparison with our previously reported complex [Ru(acac)(Ctrop)Ru(dppe)Cp] (2a). The electron-donating Ru(dppe)Cp unit and electron-accepting RuO unit are connected by Ctrop in these complexes. 2a incorporates acetylacetonate as an ancillary ligand, while 2b and 3 incorporate tropolonate as an ancillary ligand. Every complex, 2a, 2b, and 3, exhibits similar UV-vis-near-IR (NIR) absorption spectra, demonstrating the lack of explicit intramolecular electronic communication between the units at least in the neutral state. The weak NIR absorption in 2a further diminished upon electrochemical oxidation, indicating almost no electronic communication between the units. In contrast, 2b and 3 exhibit broad NIR absorptions upon oxidation. Additionally, 3 exhibits four stepwise redox couples in the electrochemical study, which are formally attributed to [Ru(trop)]/[Ru(trop)], two [Ru(dppe)Cp]/[Ru(dppe)Cp], and [Ru(trop)]/[Ru(trop)] couples. Clear separation of the redox couples attributed to the two terminal [Ru(dppe)Cp] units demonstrates the thermodynamic stability of the intermediate oxidation states with respect to disproportionation. Further electrochemical studies using an electrolyte including perfluorinated weakly coordinating anions and density functional theory/time-dependent density functional theory calculations confirmed the effect of ancillary ligands, acetylacetonate and tropolonate. In the case of 2a, electronic delocalization over the whole complex, especially over the [Ru(acac)(trop)] unit, appears to be small. In contrast, the electronic communication between [Ru(dppe)Cp] and [Ru(trop)] units in 3 seems to be enhanced upon oxidation, resulting in the long-range intramolecular electronic communication.

In this article, we present eight studies published in the past two years that are likely to influence general practice in 2025. The key messages highlight the importance of physical activity in reducing cardiovascular risk, the effectiveness of aripiprazole for treatment-resistant depression, and the positive impact of guidelines on antibiotic use for acute cystitis. Furthermore, teleconsultation is more effective when supported by a pre-existing therapeutic relationship, extended leave reduces physician burnout, electronic cigarettes aid smoking cessation, and AI improves the management of electronic communications.

Climate resilience in water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) necessitates improved adaptation to shock-loading conditions and mitigating greenhouse gas emission. Data-driven learning methods are widely utilised in soft-sensors for decision support and process optimization due to their simplicity and high predictive accuracy. However, unlike for mechanistic models, transferring machine-learning-based insights across systems is largely infeasible, which limits communication and knowledge sharing.
