Novel PNN' & P2NN' ligands based on 2-aminopyridine (APyPNN-R) R = Ph (1a), Cy (1b), iBu (1c), 8-aminoquinoline (AQPNN-R) R = Ph (2a), Cy (2b), iBu (2c), iPr (2d), and 2-picolylamine (P2NN-R) R = Ph (3a), Cy (3b), iBu (3c), have been synthesized via a versatile, one-pot, single-step, reductive amination of tertiary phosphine acetaldehydes with the amine by reaction with STAB (where STAB is sodium(triacetoxy)borohydride). Ligands 1b and 1c bridge between paramagnetic Co(ii) and form dimeric complexes Co2Cl4(APyPNN-R)2 (4 and 5) when reacted with cobalt dichloride. Ligands 2a-c coordinate in a tridentate fashion forming chelate complexes MCl2(AQPNN-R) M = Co(ii) (6-8), and, for 2d, the Fe(ii) complex FeCl2(AQPNN-iPr) (9). A solution magnetic susceptibility value for 9 of 3.9μB is consistent with a monomer-dimer equilibrium. The synthesis of the dimeric complex [FeCl2(AQPNN-Ph)]2 (10) using 2a as well as solid state magnetic susceptibility measurements on 9 and 10 confirm this phenomenon. Ligand 3a coordinates to Fe(ii) in an interesting tetradentate fashion despite bearing a tertiary amine moiety giving octahedral FeCl2(P2NN') (11). All of the metal complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, paramagnetic 1H NMR spectroscopy, solution magnetic susceptibility, and single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Photoactive complexes of bioessential 3d metals, activable within the phototherapeutic window (650-900 nm), have gained widespread interest due to their therapeutic potential. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and light-enhanced anticancer and antibacterial properties of four new dinuclear Co(II) complexes: [Co(phen)(cat)] (Co-1), [Co(dppz)(cat)] (Co-2), [Co(phen)(esc)] (Co-3), and [Co(dppz)(esc)] (Co-4). In these complexes, phen (1,10-phenanthroline) and dppz (dipyrido[3,2-:2',3'-]phenazine) act as neutral N,N-donor ligands, while cat and esc serve as O,O-donor catecholate ligands derived from catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) and esculetin (6,7-dihydroxy coumarin).

Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may reveal white matter lesions (WML) with a paramagnetic rim ("paramagnetic rim lesions" [PRLs]) or diffuse hypointensity ("core-sign lesions"), reflecting different stages of WML evolution.
Objective: Using the soma and neurite density imaging (SANDI) model on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we characterized microstructural abnormalities of MS PRLs and core-sign lesions and their clinical relevance.
Methods: Forty MS patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) underwent a 3 T brain MRI.
Neutral and ionic Co(II) metal-organic frameworks with 2-methylimidazole and trimesate: design and evaluation for molecule encapsulation and slow release.

Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Notkestr. 85, 22607 Hamburg, Germany.
Two Co(II) mixed-ligand metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on 2-methylimidazole and trimesate were synthesised at room temperature. The structure and properties of the two MOFs, named material Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron-1 and -2 (mDESY-1 and mDESY-2), were verified by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), SQUID magnetic susceptibility and N adsorption. The structural analysis indicates that mDESY-1 is a 3D ionic framework with 2-methyl-1-imidazol-3-ium counterions residing in its pores, while mDESY-2 is a 2D neutral framework isostructural to ITH-1, with water as a co-crystallising solvent.

Background: Genetic variants may confer risk for depression by modulating brain structure and function; evidence has underscored the key role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in depression. We sought to examine how the resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the sgACC was associated with polygenic risk for depression in a subclinical population.
Methods: Following published protocols, we computed seed-based whole-brain sgACC rsFC and calculated polygenic risk scores (PRS) using data from healthy young adults from the Human Connectome Project.

Stabilizing large easy-axis type magnetic anisotropy in molecular complexes is a challenging task, yet it is crucial for the development of information storage devices and applications in molecular spintronics. Achieving this requires a deep understanding of electronic structure and the relationships between structure and properties to develop magneto-structural correlations that are currently unexplored in the literature. Herein, a series of five-coordinate distorted square pyramidal Co complexes [Co(L)(X)].
