cis-[PtCl(sac)(PPhMe)] (1), cis-[PtCl(sac)(PPhMe)] (2), trans-[PtCl(sac)(PPhEt)] (3) and trans-[PtCl(sac)(PPhEt)] (4) complexes (sac = saccharinate) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. The structures of 2-4 were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The interaction of the complexes with DNA was studied various biochemical, biophysical and molecular docking methods. Only the cis-configured complexes (1 and 2) showed nuclease activity and their binding affinity towards DNA was considerably higher than those of their trans-congeners (3 and 4). The chlorido ligand in the cis-configured complexes underwent aquation, making them more reactive towards DNA. Furthermore, 1 and 2 exhibited anticancer potency on breast (MCF-7) and colon (HCT116) cancer cells similar to cisplatin, whereas 3 and 4 were biologicallly inactive. Mechanistic studies on MCF-7 cells showed that higher nuclear uptake, cell cycle arrest at the S phase, dramatically increased DNA double-strand breaks, apoptosis induction, elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and high mitochondrial membrane depolarization greatly contribute to the anticancer potency of 1 and 2.

An [AsCCAs] ligand featuring a central alkyne and two flanking arsenic donors was employed for the synthesis of a trihydrido rhenium complex, while the corresponding phosphorus ligand was shown to be less suited. The reactivity of the former trihydride [AsCCAs]ReH () was examined in detail, which revealed that two alternative reaction channels may be entered in dependence of the substrate. Upon reaction of with PhC≡CPh, ethylene, and CS, monohydrides of the general formula [AsCCAs]Re(L)H with L = η-PhC≡CPh (), η-HC═CH (), and η-CS () were formed along with H.

Article Synopsis
- The study reveals that while chalcogen-chalcogen bond activation by uranium complexes is common, O-O bond activation in organic peroxides is notably rare, spotlighting the activation of a specific peroxide via a uranium(III) complex.
- The reaction initiates with the cleavage of the O-O bond in 9,10-diphenylanthracene-9,10-endoperoxide, producing a stable uranium(V) bis-alkoxide complex through sequential one-electron oxidations.
- The mechanism involves the formation of a transient uranium-dioxo intermediate that subsequently rearranges to yield a stable uranyl trimer complex after release of an alkoxide ligand, emphasizing its significance in photochemical applications.
From Serendipity to Rational Design: Heteroleptic Dirhodium Amidate Complexes for Diastereodivergent Asymmetric Cyclopropanation.

Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, Mülheim/Ruhr D-45470, Germany.
A heteroleptic dirhodium paddlewheel complex comprising three chiral carboxylate ligands and one achiral acetamidate ligand has recently been found to be uniquely effective in catalyzing the asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins with α-stannylated (silylated and germylated) α-diazoacetate derivatives. A number of control experiments in combination with detailed computational studies provide compelling evidence that an interligand hydrogen bond between the -NH group of the amidate and the ester carbonyl group of the reactive rhodium carbene intermediate plays a quintessential role in the stereodetermining transition state. The penalty for distorting this array outweighs steric arguments and renders two of the four conceivable transitions states unviable.

The neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) and its three G protein-coupled receptors (VR, VR and VR) are of high interest in a wide array of drug discovery programs. VR is of particular importance due to its cardiovascular functions and diverse roles in the central nervous system. The structure-activity relationships underpinning ligand-receptor interactions remain however largely unclear, hindering rational drug design.

In addition to stereodefined -cyclopentenones, the rearrangement of naturally-occurring vinyl allene oxides can provide ketols, cyclopropylcarbinols, and Favorskii-type bis-()-but-2-en-1-yl acetic acids. These processes have been studied by DFT computations using ()-but-1-en-1-yl allene oxides as model systems. Prior studies on the stepwise cascade process starting from ()-but-1-en-1-yl allene oxides established as key steps the ring opening of the oxirane to give oxidopentadienyl biradicals, and their isomerization through formation of alkenylcyclopropanone intermediates prior to the conrotatory electrocyclic ring closure to -configured cyclopentenones.
