A family of four mononuclear DyIII complexes of the guanidine-based ligand L [L = tris(2-hydroxybenzylidene)triaminoguanidine] with formulas [DyLCl2(DMF)2]·DMF·CH3OH (1), [DyL2(CH3OH)2]Br·H2O·3CH3OH (2), [DyL2(H2O)2]SCN·3H2O·CH3OH (3) and [DyL2(CH3OH)2]SCN·CH3CN·CH3OH (4) were successfully prepared by varying reaction conditions. Complex 1 is seven-coordinate, with three N2O from ligand L along with two equatorially trapped DMF molecules and two axial Cl- anions, adopting pentagonal bipyramidal D5h symmetry. Complexes 2-4 have somewhat similar structures with six donor N4O2 sites from two ligands and two O from corresponding solvent molecules, featuring a N4O4 octa-coordinate environment with triangular dodecahedron D2d symmetry. Magnetic investigations indicated that complex 1 did not demonstrate single-molecule magnetic behavior, while complexes 2-4 were single-ion magnets (SIMs) under zero applied DC field with the effective energy barriers (Ueff) of 207.3 (2), 222.5 (3) and 311.7 K (4), respectively. The different types of coordinated solvent molecules and counter anions caused changes in intermolecular interactions and coordination geometries that severely affected their magnetic dynamics. The magnetic behaviors of these complexes were investigated through complete-active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations with the inclusion of spin-orbit effects. Calculations revealed that the measured differences in magnetic behaviors originated mainly from intermolecular and crystal-packing effects as isolated complexes 1-4 have almost identical electronic and magnetic properties.

Article Synopsis
- The Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptor system influences opioid effects, particularly in hyperalgesia (pain sensitivity) and tolerance, but research has been limited due to the lack of selective small molecules.
- The lead compound MES304 has a guanidine group that, while effective at binding to the receptor, poses challenges for drug development in living organisms.
- Modifications to MES304 led to the creation of two new compounds, 8b and 16a, which have strong receptor binding without the guanidine group and show promise for selective binding and better pharmacokinetic properties.

A new aliphatic hybrid guanidine N,O-donor ligand (TMGeech) and its zinc chloride complex ([ZnCl (TMGeech)]) are presented. This complex displays high catalytic activity for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide in toluene, exceeding the toxic industry standard tin octanoate by a factor of 10. The high catalytic activity of [ZnCl (TMGeech)] is further demonstrated under industrially preferred melt conditions, reaching high lactide conversions within seconds.

Rhodium-catalyzed acrylate synthesis from CO and ethylene was accomplished by using a guanidine-based NCN pincer ligand. The repulsion between pπ-electron of guanidine sidearms and occupied dπ orbital of rhodium center raised the level of d-electrons close to those of formerly known d -ruthenium catalyst, thereby promoting the metallalactone formation from carbon dioxide and ethylene. This work fills the absence of group-9 metal based catalyst for the acrylate synthesis and provides a designing approach for pincer-ligated d -metal catalysts to utilize pπ-dπ interaction for promoting desirable redox processes.

In this paper, we examined the chromatographic behavior of a new class of guanidine-based multimodal anion exchange resins. The selectivities and protein recoveries on these resins were first evaluated using linear gradient chromatography with a model acidic protein library at pH 5, 6 and 7. While a single-guanidine based resin exhibited significant recovery issues at high ligand density, a bis-guanidine based resin showed high recoveries of all but two of the proteins evaluated in the study.
