A textbook dysprosium dinuclear complex based on acetylacetone ligands, [Dy (acac) (μ -acac) (H O) ], has been synthesized and fully characterized. This simple dimeric lanthanide complex shows well-resolved solid-state luminescence and behaves as a single-molecule magnet under zero DC field. A seminal crystal-field approach is used to marry both magnetism and luminescence in the frame of an energetic picture.

The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of an η5-silole complex and an η5-stannole complex of erbium are reported. The sandwich complex anions [(η5-CpSi)Er(η8-COT)]- and [(η5-CpSn)Er(η8-COT)]-, where CpSi is [SiC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Ph2]2- (1Si), CpSn is [SnC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Me2]2- (1Sn) and COT = cyclo-octatetraenyl, were obtained as their [K(2.2.

Background: Biomarkers are needed to track progression in MS trials. Neurofilament heavy chain (NfH) has been underutilized due to assay limitations.
Objective: To investigate the added value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NfH in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) using contemporary immunoassays.
A 1D coordination compound made of a photochromic dithienylethene linker and [Dy(Tp2-py)F]+ units (with Tp2-py = tris(3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolyl)hydroborate) and having tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate counterions is reported. Full photoconversion from the closed isomer to the open isomer of the dithienyethene within single crystals allow for monitoring of the transformation by photocrystallography. Magnetic slow relaxation as well as magnetic hysteresis are observed and can be both modulated upon light irradiation.

Coronaviruses (CoV) encode sixteen non-structural proteins (nsps), most of which form the replication-transcription complex (RTC). The RTC contains a core composed of one nsp12 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), two nsp8s and one nsp7. The core RTC recruits other nsps to synthesize all viral RNAs within the infected cell.

The modification of proteins and other biomolecules with the small protein ubiquitin has enthralled scientists from many disciplines for decades, creating a broad research field. Ubiquitin research is particularly rich in molecular and mechanistic understanding due to a plethora of (poly)ubiquitin structures alone and in complex with ubiquitin machineries. Furthermore, due to its favorable properties, ubiquitin serves as a model system for many biophysical and computational techniques.
