AI Article Synopsis

  • A method was created to connect o-carborane groups to form new carboranyl dithioester ligands through a specific substitution process involving haloalkanes.
  • These ligands allowed for a notable direct B-H activation with half-sandwich iridium (Ir(III)) complexes, achieving bimetallic or trimetallic structures without needing additional support from silver(I) or alkali.
  • Analysis of the resulting complexes revealed successful B(3)-H activation and provided insight into their structures through single crystal analysis.

Article Abstract

A method was developed to link two or three o-carborane moieties to form a series of carboranyl dithioester bridging ligands via in situ substitution of haloalkanes by tetraphenylphosphonium carboranyldithiocarboxylates. Based on these ligands, direct B-H activation without the assistance of Ag(I) and alkali was successfully achieved with half-sandwich Ir(III) substrate [Cp*IrCl] to yield corresponding bimetallic or trimetallic complexes. Single crystal structure analyses of the B-H activated complexes and corresponding SnCl-inserted derivatives confirm the selective B(3)-H activation in these complexes.

Measles virus (MeV) genotype B3 is one globally significant circulating genotype. Here, we present a systematic description of long-term evolutionary characterizations of the MeV genotype B3's hemagglutinin (H) gene in the elimination era. Our results show that the B3 H gene can be divided into two main sub-genotypes, and the highest intra-genotypic diversity was observed in 2004.

Glutenin is a major protein fraction contributing to the functional properties of gluten and dough. The glutenin constitutes 30-40% of the protein in wheat flour and about half of that in gluten. It is essential to identify correct glutenin alleles and to improve wheat quality by selecting alleles that exert favorable effects.

The potential energy surface of H(5)(+) is characterized using density functional theory. The hypersurface is evaluated at selected configurations employing different functionals, and compared with results obtained from ab initio CCSD(T) calculations. The lowest ten stationary points (minima and saddle-points) on the surface are located, and the features of the short-, intermediate-, and long-range intermolecular interactions are also investigated.

Low-atomic number (Z) targets have been shown to improve contrast in megavoltage (MV) images when using film-screen detection systems. This research aims to quantify the effect of low-Z targets on MV image contrast using an amorphous silicon electronic portal image detector (a-Si EPID) through both experimental measurement and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. Experimental beams were produced with the linac running in the 6 MeV electron mode and with a 1.
