Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether methacrylate (OEOMA ) in water is enabled using CuBr with tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPMA) as a ligand under blue or green-light irradiation without requiring any additional reagent, such as a photo-reductant, or the need for prior deoxygenation. Polymers with low dispersity (Đ = 1.18-1.25) are synthesized at high conversion (>95%) using TPMA from three different suppliers, while no polymerization occurred with TPMA is synthesized and purified in the laboratory. Based on spectroscopic studies, it is proposed that TPMA impurities (i.e., imine and nitrone dipyridine), which absorb blue and green light, can act as photosensitive co-catalyst(s) in a light region where neither pure TPMA nor [(TPMA)CuBr] absorbs light.

Article Synopsis
- Silver cluster-assembled materials (SCAMs) are specially designed crystalline materials known for their unique shapes and precise structures.
- This study introduces two types of SCAMs: a three-dimensional one (TUS 6) created using a tritopic linker, and a two-dimensional one (TUS 7), highlighting the innovative methods for synthesizing these materials.
- The research reveals how the addition of organic linkers changes the symmetry of silver nanoclusters, providing new insights into how these clusters transform into more complex structures.

A series of new cationic first-row transition metal complexes of [Mn(sac)(HO)(tpma)](sac)·HO (Mn), [(μ-O){FeCl(tpma)}](sac)·3HO (Fe), [Co(sac)(HO)(tpma)](sac)·HO (Co), [Ni(HO)(tpma)](sac)·2HO (Ni), [Cu(sac)(tpma)](sac) (Cu) and [Zn(sac)(HO)(tpma)](sac) (Zn), where sac = saccharinate and tpma = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, ESI-MS, NMR, X-ray diffraction and conductivity measurements. The cytotoxic activity of the metal complexes was evaluated against lung carcinoma (A549), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7), colon (HT29), and normal BEAS-2B cell lines. Mn and Fe displayed potent cytotoxic activity in all cell lines with IC values between 1.

Tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine () and tris(2-phenolmethyl)amine () metal complexes have been extensively used for catalysis and molecular recognition applications. In particular, due to their ability to form stereodynamic complexes through the helical arrangement of the ligand around the metal in a propeller shape, chiroptical sensing has been extensively investigated. In particular, the capability of the analyte, usually a Lewis base, to bind the metal complex has been the predominant recognition motif.

Tris-(2-pyridylmethyl)amines (TPA or TPMA) are polipyrydine-based ligands extensively used in catalysis and supramolecular chemistry due their capability to form stable tetradentate complexes with a large variety of metals. The unsubstituted ligand, which is also commercially available, can be synthesised by consecutive alkylation of a picoline or by reductive amination of a pyridine aldehyde. In this article, we report a novel synthetic method which opens to the post-functionalisation of these ligands in the benzylic position.
