The uranium metallacyclocumulene, [η-1,3-(MeC)CH]U(η-CPh) (2) was isolated by the reduction of [η-1,3-(MeC)CH]UCl (1) with potassium graphite (KC) in the presence of 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne (PhC[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CPh) in good yield. Furthermore it was fully characterized including the determination of its molecular structure; and the reactivity of 2 towards various small unsaturated organic molecules was explored. For example, while complex 2 shows no reactivity with alkynes and 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), it reacts as a nucleophile when exposed to carbodiimides, diazabutadienes, isothiocyanates, ketones, and pyridine derivatives, leading to five-, seven- or nine-membered heterometallacycles. In contrast, treatment of complex 2 with CS results in C[double bond, length as m-dash]S bond cleavage and forms the binuclear complex [η-1,3-(MeC)CH]U[μ-η:η-PhC[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(S)C(Ph)[double bond, length as m-dash]CS]U[η-1,3-(MeC)CH] (10). Density functional theory (DFT) studies complement the experimental study.

Organic compounds present promising options for sustainable zinc battery electrodes. Nevertheless, the electrochemical properties of current organic electrodes still lag behind those of their inorganic counterparts. In this study, nitro groups were incorporated into pyrene-4, 5, 9, 10-tetraone (PTO), resulting in an elevated discharge voltage due to their strong electron-withdrawing capabilities.

In this paper, a series of novel quinazoline-4(3)-one-2-carbothioamide derivatives (8a-p) were designed and synthesized the Wilgerodt-Kindler reaction between 2-methylquinazoline-4-one 10 and amines using S/DMSO as the oxidizing system. Their characteristics were confirmed by IR, NMR, HRMS spectra, and their melting point. These novel derivatives (8a-p) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.

DFT calculations were performed to investigate the possible reaction mechanisms underlying catalyst-free chloroboration reactions of carbonyl compounds with BCl. The interaction between BCl and the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O moiety of carbonyl compounds is a two-step reaction. In the first step, B of BCl forms a bond with the O of the C[double bond, length as m-dash]O moiety, followed by the 1,3-Cl migration process from BCl to the C of the carbonyl group.
