1-Azaazulene was adopted as a new ligand moiety for boron difluoride (BF) complexes, resulting in large red shifts of the absorption bands up to 103 nm compared to their isomeric quinoline-based complexes. Such change was attributed to the nonalternant nature of 1-azaazulene, as the complexes maintained the intrinsic 10π-peripheral electronic structure. exhibited the most red-shifted absorption among reported BF complexes containing a phenolic backbone, and the absorption edge of reached the red region.

The rhodium and iridium complexes [Cp*M(κ,,-)][SbF] (Cp* = η-CMe; M = Rh, ; Ir, ; = pyridinyl-amidine ligand) exhibit three different cooperative metal-ligand reactivity modes when interacting with nonfunctionalized ketones. With the methyl ketones CHCOR (R = CH, Ph, CF), activation of the ketone methyl C(sp)-H bond yields ketonyl compounds of formula [Cp*M(CHCOR)(κ,-)][SbF]. With the ketones (CF)CO and CFCOPh, the complexes add to the C═O double bond of the ketone.

Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the addition of sugars to diverse substrates facilitating complex glycoconjugate biosynthesis across all domains of life. When embedded in or associated with the membrane, these enzymes often depend on polyisoprenyl-phosphate or -pyrophosphate (PP) lipid carriers, including undecaprenyl phosphate in bacteria and dolichol phosphate in eukaryotes, to transfer glycan moieties. GTs that bind PP substrates (PP-GTs) are functionally diverse but share some common structural features within their family or subfamily, particularly with respect to how they interact with their cognate PP ligands.

In this study, three pyridine- and four thiophene-containing chalcone derivatives were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction, where five derivatives were new. Different spectral analyses (IR, H NMR, HRMS) clarified the structures and these proposed compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity by the agar disc diffusion technique. Compound was conspicuously active against most of the bacterial and fungal strains.

Cytotoxic T cell immune responses against cancer crucially depend on the ability of a subtype of professional antigen-presenting cells termed conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) to cross-present antigens. Cross-presentation comprises redirection of exogenous antigens taken from other cells to the major histocompatibility complex class I antigen-presenting machinery. In addition, once activated and having sensed viral moieties or T helper cell cooperation via CD40-CD40L interactions, cDC1s provide key co-stimulatory ligands and cytokines to mount and sustain CD8 T cell immune responses.

From a comparison of the known molecular stoichiometry and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), it is evident that the Fe(III) spin crossover salt [Fe(qsal)2Ni(dmit)2], where qsal = N(8quinolyl)salicylaldimine, and dmit2- = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato has a preferential surface termination with the Ni(dmit)2 moiety. This preferential surface termination leads to a significant surface to bulk core level shift for the Ni 2p X-ray photoemission core level, not seen in the corresponding Fe 2p core level spectra. A similar surface to bulk core level shift is seen in Pd 3d in the related [Fe(qsal)2]2Pd(dmit)2, ], where qsal = N(8quinolyl)salicylaldimine, and dmit2- = 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolato.
