Enantioselective inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease with rhenium(i) picolinic acid complexes.

Infections of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have triggered a global pandemic with millions of deaths worldwide. Herein, the synthesis of functionalized Re(i) tricarbonyl complexes as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, also referred to as the 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL), is presented. The metal complexes were found to inhibit the activity of the enzyme with IC values in the low micromolar range.

Self-healing mixed matrix membranes containing metal-organic frameworks.

Mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) provide a means to formulate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) into processable films that can help to advance their use in various applications. Conventional MMMs are inherently susceptible to craze or tear upon exposure to impact, cutting, bending, or stretching, which can limit their intended service life and usage. Herein, a simple, efficient, and scalable fabrication approach was used to prepare self-healing MMMs containing Zr(iv)-based MOFs.
