Whereas κ-,,-based donor ligands are ubiquitous across synthetic chemistry, related unsymmetric systems having κ-,,-coordination are comparatively rare. In this contribution, we expose a new κ-,, ligand system, bearing a C3-anionic linker and its coordination chemistry with iridium. The title ligand has been coordinated in saturated and unsaturated forms. The degree of ligand saturation affected an onward (and unusual) oxidative rearrangement reaction.

Plastic pollution is a worrying problem, and its degradation is a laborious process. Although enzymatic plastic breakdown is a sustainable method, drawbacks such as numerous plastic kinds of waste make the degradation challenging. Therefore, a multi-plastic degrading (MPD) enzyme becomes necessary.

The selection of suitable raw materials as adsorbents is a key factor in effectively removing phosphorus from water. As an industrial by-product, soda residue exhibits high porosity and surface area, which can effectively adsorb pollutants. Magnetic lanthanum-iron soda residue (La-Fe-CSR) was synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and its characterization and mechanism for removing phosphate were thoroughly investigated.

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography has enabled significant reductions in device dimensions but is often limited by capillary force-driven pattern collapse in conventional wet processes. Recent dry-development approaches, while promising, frequently require toxic etchants or specialized equipment, limiting their broader applicability and highlighting the need for more sustainable, cost-effective alternatives. In this study, highly reactive, etchant-free dry-developable EUV photoresists using N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based metal-ligand complexes, achieving half-saturation at EUV doses of 8.

Small molecules are essential for investigating the pharmacology of membrane proteins and remain the most common approach for therapeutically targeting them. However, most experimental small molecule screening methods require ligands containing radiolabels or fluorescent labels and often involve isolating proteins from their cellular environment. Additionally, most conventional screening methods are suited for identifying compounds with moderate to higher affinities ( < 1 μM) and are less effective at detecting lower affinity compounds, such as weakly binding molecular fragments.

Purpose: Since fibroblast activation protein (FAP), one predominant biomarker of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), is highly expressed in the tumor stroma of various epidermal-derived cancers, targeting FAP for tumor diagnosis and treatment has shown substantial potentials in both preclinical and clinical studies. However, in preclinical settings, tumor-bearing mice exhibit relatively low absolute FAP expression levels, leading to challenges in acquiring high-quality PET images using radiolabeled FAP ligands (FAPIs) with low molar activity, because of which a saturation effect in imaging is prone to happen. Moreover, how exactly the molar dose of FAPI administered to a mouse influences the targeted PET imaging and radiotherapy remains unclear now.
