A copper(ii)-hydroxide-induced carbon-carbon bond formation reaction is explored with the synthesis of an asymmetric carboxamido-methylimino pyridine Cu(i) complex of [CuI(py(N-C[double bond, length as m-dash]O)(N[double bond, length as m-dash]C-C)ph2Me2)2]- (12). Two imine-methyl groups are coupled to form a bridged C-C bond (N[double bond, length as m-dash]C-C-C-C[double bond, length as m-dash]N) at the methyl positions with the reduction of two Cu2+ center ions to Cu+. The reaction is checked with three dicarboxamido pyridine [CuII-OH] complexes, with which dinuclear Cu(i) complexes of [Cu2(py(N-C[double bond, length as m-dash]O)2ph2R2)2]2- (R = methyl (3), methyl and allyl (6)) and trinuclear [CuII-CuI-CuII] complex of [Cu3(⊂20-py(N-C[double bond, length as m-dash]O)2ph2dienMe3)2]+ (9) are obtained. The reactivities of the [CuII-L] (L = DMF, OH-) complexes in dicarboxamido pyridine, carboxamido-methylimino pyridine and dimethylimino pyridine systems are discussed in terms of the electron delocalization properties of ligands. A cooperative metal-ligand (Cu2+ and enamide ligand) interaction is proposed based on the characterization of ligated Cu(ii) intermediates with the techniques of X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammogram, EPR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.

This review discusses the chemical properties, synthesis and detection, and biological functions of a molecular group of cis-2-unsaturated fatty acids, containing fatty acid carbon chains of various lengths and cis double-bond configurations, known as the diffusible signaling factor family (DSFF). Early postulation of the conserved nature of the DSFF among Gram-negative bacteria have now been challenged by the latest evidences that unraveled their presence in a various other distinct microorganisms. Over the last decade, a significant depth and breadth of understanding has been made on the multifaceted functions of DSFFs among bacteria, and their interactions with evolutionarily divergent fungi, plants insects and small animals.

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.

The oxidative dehydrogenation of propane with CO (CO-ODP) is a green industrial process for producing propene. Cerium oxide-supported platinum-based (Pt/CeO) catalysts exhibit remarkable reactivity toward propane and CO due to the unique delicate balance of C-H and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O bond activation. However, the simultaneous activation and cleavage of C-H, C-C, and C-O bonds on Pt/CeO-based catalysts may substantially impede the selective activation of C-H bonds during the CO-ODP process.

We investigate the energetic and structural properties of small lithium clusters doped with a carbon atom using a combination of computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT), diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC), and the Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation. We calculate the lowest energy structures, total ground-state energies, electron populations, binding energies, and dissociation energies as a function of cluster size. Our results show that carbon doping significantly enhances the stability of lithium clusters, increasing the magnitude of the binding energy by 0.

This research focuses on the selective detection of Hg2+ ions using hybrid nanosensors composed of rhodamine building blocks linked to polyamine units of varying chain lengths to produce Rho1-Rho4, which were subsequently conjugated with thioctic acid (RT1-RT4) and attached to the surface of gold nanoparticles to create hybrid nanosensors (GRT1-GRT4) designed for detecting heavy metals. The chemical structures, purity, morphology, and chemical composition were characterized through XRD, NMR, TEM, ATR-FTIR, and mass spectrometry. These hybrid nanosensors demonstrated excellent selectivity and sensitivity in colorimetric and fluorescence responses towards Hg2+, outperforming other metal ions.
