The platinum complex [Pt(I Bu Pr')(I Bu Pr)][BAr ] interacts with tertiary silanes to form stable (<0 °C) mononuclear Pt σ-SiH complexes [Pt(I Bu Pr')(I Bu Pr)(η -HSiR )][BAr ]. These compounds have been fully characterized, including X-ray diffraction methods, as the first examples for platinum. DFT calculations (including electronic topological analysis) support the interpretation of the coordination as an unusual η -SiH. However, the energies required for achieving a η -SiH mode are rather low, and is consistent with the propensity of these derivatives to undergo Si-H cleavage leading to the more stable silyl species [Pt(SiR )(I Bu Pr) ][BAr ] at room temperature.

Protein fibrillation complex mechanisms led to an emerging trend in research for years. The mechanisms behind whey protein isolate (WPI) fibrillation driven by divalent cations remained still a matter of speculation. All cations (Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn) enhanced the microenvironment polarity through π-π stacking, and the amide I and II shifts confirmed the fibrillation.

The fundamental hydrolysis behavior of tetravalent actinide cations (An) with a high charge is crucial for understanding their solution chemistry, particularly in nuclear fuel reprocessing and environmental behavior. Using Th as a reference of the An series, this work employed both the periodic model and the cluster model to calculate the first hydrolysis reaction constant (p) of the Th aqua ion and conducted a detailed evaluation of these approaches. In the periodic model, molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of Th in the explicit solvation environment are conducted, using metadynamics and constrained molecular dynamics to calculate p values.

The first bottleable example of a neutral Group 13 atom bound only by neutral donor ligands (L) has been fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and its structure determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. A two-coordinate paramagnetic LB complex can readily be accessed through a facile reduction reaction and is stabilized by π-accepting cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligands. Further reduction of (CAAC)B leads to the isolation of a stable diamagnetic boride anion.

This perspective covers the chemistry of cyclopentadienyl cations from the first synthetic attempts generating transient variants to their successful isolation earlier this year. They are highly reactive species that researchers struggled to isolate and characterize that stifled efforts to explore their reactivity. The recent isolation of a cyclopentadienyl cation enabled characterization and reactivity studies that make this an exciting time in the area that will undoubtedly inspire research in cyclic four π-electron systems.
