Novel heterobimetallic complexes featuring a uranium atom paired with a first-row transition metal have been computationally predicted and analyzed using density functional theory and multireference wave function based methods. The synthetically inspired metalloligands U{(PrPCHNAr)tacn} () and U(PrPCHNPh) () are explored in this study. We report the presence of multiple bonds between uranium and chromium, uranium and manganese, and uranium and iron. The calculations predict a 5-fold bonding between uranium and manganese in the UMn(PrPCHNPh) complex, which is unprecedented in the literature.

Terminal metal-phosphorus (M-P) complexes are of significant contemporary interest as potential platforms for P-atom transfer (PAT) chemistry. Decarbonylation of metal-phosphaethynolate (M-PCO) complexes has emerged as a general synthetic approach to terminal M-P complexes. M-P complexes that are stabilized by strong M-P multiple bonds are kinetically persistent and isolable.

The assessment of copper(I) and hydrogen interactions is challenging and should be approached with caution. In this paper, we report an assessment of multiple copper(I) and hydrogen interactions in two unique copper(I) thione cages. Copper(I) -heterocyclic thione cages [{Cu(-Br)(-L1)}] (1) and [{Cu(-I)(-L1)}] (2) were synthesized and characterized with proximity enforced Cu⋯H interactions.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are strongly linked to abnormal adipocyte metabolism and adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction. However, existing adipose tissue models have limitations, particularly in the stable culture of fat cells that maintain physiologically relevant phenotypes, hindering a deeper understanding of adipocyte biology and the molecular mechanisms behind differentiation. Current model systems fail to fully replicate in vivo metabolism, posing challenges in adipose research.

The healing of bacteria-infected wounds has long posed a significant clinical challenge. Traditional hydrogel wound dressings often lack self-healing properties and effective antibacterial characteristics, making wound healing difficult. In this study, a bioactive small molecule cross-linking agent 4-FPBA/Lys/4-FPBA (FLF) composed of 4-formylphenylboronic acid (4-FPBA) and lysine (Lys) was utilized to cross-link guar gum (GG) and a tannic acid/iron (TA/Fe) chelate through multiple dynamic bonds, leading to the formation of a novel self-healing hydrogel dressing GG-FLF/TA/Fe.
