Three bis(triarylamine) dications bridged with 2,2'-bithienyl group (1), biphenyl group (2) and [2,2]paracyclophane (3) have been successfully isolated. The electronic structures of 1 - 3 show bridge dependence. Magnetic studies and DFT calculations show that dications 1 - 3 possess an open-shell singlet ground state with a thermally excited triplet state. Dication 3 has rather small singlet-triplet energy gap and could basically be regarded as a nearly pure diradical. Diradical dications 1 - 3 represent rare examples of diradicaloids with intramolecular long-range π-conjugation or π-π coupling interaction.

Understanding the behavior and fate of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environment is crucial for assessing their potential risks. This study investigated the heteroaggregation behaviors of MPs with representative 2D nanosheets, MoS and graphene oxide (GO), under various conditions, focusing on the transport behavior of the resulting aggregates. It was found that the destabilization capabilities of 2D nanosheets are notably stronger than those of well-reported nanoparticles.

Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic risk factors for AD, including a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bridging integrator 1 (BIN1) gene that is present in approximately 40% of the population and has the largest effect size of the common AD genetic risk factors. While the association between BIN1 and AD has been established, the mechanisms by which BIN1 contributes to AD remain understudied. We previously showed that increasing BIN1 expression in primary hippocampal neurons increases neuronal excitability (Voskobiynyk & Roth et al.

Introduction: Time perception is a fundamental cognitive function, the brain mechanisms of which are not fully understood. Recent electroencephalography (EEG) studies have shown that neural oscillations in specific frequency bands may play a role in this process. In the current study, we sought to investigate how neurophysiological activity of cortical structures relates to subjective time estimations.
