Inspired by the recently synthesized inorganic metallocene derivatives Fe(P), we have identified four stable inorganic metallocene nanowires, MP (M = Sc, Ti, Cr and Fe) in configurations of either regular quadrangular prism (Q-type) or anticube (A-type), and further investigated their magnetic and electronic characteristics utilizing the first-principles calculation. It shows that CrP is a ferromagnetic metal, while other nanowires are semiconducting antiferromagnets with bandgaps of 0.44, 1.88, and 2.29 eV within the HSE06 level. It also shows that both ScP and TiP can be stabilized in the Q-type and A-type, corresponding to the antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic ground states, respectively, indicating a configuration-dependent magnetism. The thermodynamic and lattice stabilities are confirmed by the molecular dynamics and phonon spectra. This study has unmasked the structural and physical properties of novel inorganic metallocene nanowires, and revealed their potential application in spintronics.

C-H bond functionalisation has developed into a powerful synthetic methodology that is applicable to a wide array of substrates, including organometallic compounds. In this study, racemic, planar-chiral 1,2-dihydroferroceno[]isoquinoline and analogous helical compounds with one or two additional -fused benzene rings were synthesised by palladium-catalysed C-H bond activation/cyclisation of -[(bromoaryl)methyl]--(methylsulfonyl)aminoferrocenes. These starting materials are readily accessible from FcNHSOMe (Fc = ferrocenyl) and appropriate vicinal bromo-(bromomethyl)arenes.

Porous organic cobaltocenium-containing particles are scarce in literature but highly interesting for their electrochemical properties and reusability in, for example, catalysis or magnetic systems. In this work, we present a scalable one-pot strategy to introduce tailorable amounts of cobaltocenium on a porous substrate, adjusting the electrochemical switching capability. For this purpose, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine (APTES) and ethynyl cobaltocenium hexafluorophosphate is used as functionalization agents for in-situ catalyst-free hydroamination, followed by silane condensation at the particles' surface.

A diverse family of heterobimetallic bridging hydride adducts of the type [LAu(μ-H)MCp][X] (L = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazole-2-ylidene, IPr; 1,3-bis(1-adamantyl)imidazole-2-ylidene, IAd; 1,3-bis(2,6-di--propylphenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4,6-diketopyrimidinyl-2-ylidene, DAC; triphenylphosphine, PPh; 2-di--butylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl, XPhos; X = SbF, BF or TfO) was synthesized by reacting group VI metallocene dihydrides CpMH (Cp = cyclopentadienyl anion; M = Mo, W) with cationic gold(I) complexes [LAu(NCMe)][X]. Trimetallic [L'Au(μ-H)WCp][X] and tetrametallic [L'Au{(μ-H)WCp}] [X] complexes (L' = -2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthalene or bis(diphenylphosphinomethane)) were obtained by reacting digold [L'{Au(NCMe)}][X] with CpWH in a 1:1 and a 1:2 stoichiometry. Accessing such a broad structural diversity allowed us to pinpoint roles played by the ancillary ligands and group VI metals on the bonding properties of this family of bridging hydrides.

An electrochemical biosensor has been developed for detection of Escherichia coli O157 by integrating lateral flow with screen-printed electrodes. The screen-printed electrodes were attached under the lateral flow detection line, and organic-inorganic nanoflowers prepared from E. coli O157-specific antibodies as an organic component were attached to the lateral flow detection line.

Red fluorescent dyes are usually charged, lipophilic molecules with relatively high molecular weight, which tend to localize in specific intracellular locations, e. g., a cyanine dye Cy5 is biased towards mitochondria.
