Single crystals of the mol-ecular compound, {CuIrCl(CHN)(CHN)]·3.18CHOH or [({CuIr}Cl(IMes)(pyrazine))(pyrazine)]·3.18CHOH [where IMes is 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphen-yl)imidazol-2-yl-idene], with a unique heterometallic cluster have been prepared and the structure revealed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mol-ecule is centrosymmetric with two {CuIr} cores bridged by a pyrazine ligand. The polymetallic cluster contains three stabilizing -heterocyclic carbenes, four Cl ligands, and a non-bridging pyrazine ligand. Notably, the Cu-Ir core is arranged in an unusual shape containing 13 vertices, 22 faces, and 32 sides. The atoms within the trideca-metallic cluster are arranged in four planes, with 2, 4, 4, 3 metals in each plane. Ir atoms are present in alternate planes with an Ir atom featuring in the peripheral bimetallic plane, and two Ir atoms featuring on opposite sides of the non-adjacent tetra-metallic plane. The crystal contains two disordered methanol solvent mol-ecules with an additional region of non-modelled electron density corrected for using the SQUEEZE routine in [Spek (2015 ▸). C, 9-18]. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unmodelled methanol solvent mol-ecule(s).

Donor/Acceptor Ligands Based on an -Terphenyl Motif to Achieve Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence in Zn(II) Complexes.

The photophysical properties of six new luminescent tetrahedral Zn(II) complexes are presented that survey two electronic donor moieties (phenolate and carbazolate) and three electronic acceptors (pyridine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine). A unique ligand based on an -terphenyl motif forms an eight-membered chelate, which enhances through-space charge-transfer (CT) interactions by limiting through-bond conjugation between the donor and acceptor. A single isomeric product was obtained in yields up to 90%.

The title compound, [CdBr(CHN)] , was prepared by the reaction of cadmium bromide with 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine in water. Its asymmetric unit consists of one Cd cation and one 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine ligand that are located on a crystallographic mirror plane as well as one bromide anion that occupies a general position. The Cd cations are sixfold coordinated by four bromide anions and two 2,5-di-methyl-pyrazine ligands within slightly distorted -CdBrN octa-hedra.

Article Synopsis
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer, often developing from dysplasia, a pre-cancerous condition.
- The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway contributes to OSCC by promoting the growth and survival of cancer cells, with Porcupine (PORCN) being a crucial enzyme in this process.
- Research shows higher PORCN levels in severe dysplasia and poorly differentiated OSCC, and using LGK974, a PORCN inhibitor, decreased oral lesion size in mice, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target in OSCC treatment.
Bifidobacterium adolescentis is resistant to pyrazinamide, isoniazid, and streptomycin.
Sci Rep
November 2024
Department of Biochemistry, CSIR- Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), Mysuru, Karnataka, 570020, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Bifidobacterium adolescentis resists first-line anti-tubercular drugs like isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and streptomycin, finding that even at high drug concentrations, the bacteria continue to grow unaffected.
- Some bacteria exhibited strong aggregation, which may help protect them from drug toxicity, and further microscopic analysis revealed that certain bacteria became elongated and protruded.
- Whole genome sequencing showed few antibiotic resistance genes or bacteriocins present, but some hypothetical proteins were observed, with 3D structure analyses suggesting possible interactions with specific ligands.
Photocatalytic Substrate Oxidation Catalyzed by a Ruthenium(II) Complex with a Phenazine Moiety as the Active Site Using Dioxygen as a Terminal Oxidant.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a method for oxidizing aromatic compounds using oxygen as the oxidant under visible light, producing only 2-electron oxidized products in acidic water.
- The photocatalyst used is a ruthenium complex with a specific pyrazine-containing ligand, which is activated by its protonated form rather than the complex itself.
- The study demonstrates an efficient process for oxidizing benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde with high turnover and highlights that the oxidation mechanism involves a unique pathway not consistent with traditional photocatalytic processes.
