Article Abstract
Isoalkyl (isoalkyl = isopropyl-(L1), isobutyl-(L2) and isoamyl-(L3)) derivatives of thiosalicylic acid (TSA) were prepared by alkylation of TSA with corresponding isoalkyl-chlorides in the alkaline water-ethanol solution. The new free copper(II)-complexes with corresponding S-isoalkyl derivatives of TSA (C1-copper(II)-complex with S-isopropyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid, C2-copper(II)-complex with S-isobutyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid and C3-copper(II)-complex with S-isoamyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid) have been synthesized by direct reaction of copper(II)-nitrate with ligand precursor and then characterized by microanalysis, infrared spectra (IR) and EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectra. The spectroscopically predicted structure of the obtained binuclear copper(II)-complex with S-isopropyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Single crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by slow crystallization from a water solution. Newly synthesized precursors S-isoalkyl derivatives of thiosalicylic acid and corresponding copper(II)-complexes moderately reduced viability of human and murine lung cancer cells, they showed similar cytotoxic effect on human colorectal cancer cells as cisplatin and lower cytotoxic effect than cisplatin toward normal fibroblasts, evaluated by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) colorimetric technique. All new complexes exhibited apoptotic effect toward lung cancer cells, stronger than cisplatin, whereas only C3 induced significant apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Complex C1 showed significant antiproliferative effect against murine lung cancer cells, LLC1, while C2 reduced expression of Ki67 in human colorectal cancer cells. All tested complexes induced cell cycle arrest of HCT116 cells in G2/M phase.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) carbon dot (CDs) in solid state with tunable multicolor emissions have sparked significant interest in multidimensional anti-counterfeiting. However, the realization of solid-state fluorescence (SSF) by AIE effect and the regulation of fluorescence wavelength in solid state is a great challenge. In order to solve this dilemma, the AIE method to prepare multi-color solid-state CDs with fluorescence wavelengths ranging from bright blue to red emission is employed.

Electroreduction of nitrate (NO ) to ammonia (NH) is an environmentally friendly route for NH production, serving as an appealing alternative to the Haber-Bosch process. Recently, various noble metal-based electrocatalysts have been reported for electroreduction of NO . However, the application of pure metal electrocatalysts is still limited by unsatisfactory performance, owing to the weak adsorption of nitrogen-containing intermediates on the surface of pure metal electrocatalysts.

Melamine, often used as an adulterant in infants' formula due to its high protein content, can be harmful when ingested in large amounts, leading to the formation of cyanurate-melamine co-crystals in infants and potentially causing kidney damage. In this study, we introduce a fluorescent method for the selective and reliable detection of melamine in milk and infants' formula. The fluorescent probe comprises copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs) functionalized with thiosalicylic acid (TSA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as double-protecting ligands.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study with female A/J mice, VC injection led to severe kidney damage resembling human membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, indicating potential renal risks associated with these compounds.
- * RNA-Seq analysis revealed significant changes in gene expression related to the complement and coagulation pathways, highlighting a dysregulated immune response with key complement factors being altered, suggesting that exposure to EC and VC may disrupt normal kidney function.
