Summary: This study investigates the trans- and cis-interactions of glycolipids through molecular dynamics simulations and their relationship with the average separations of membranes obtained from neutron scattering experiments. The findings suggest that the interactions between glycolipids in the same membrane leaflet strengthen the interactions between glycolipids in apposing leaflets. The simulations also indicate the importance of membrane shape fluctuations in glycolipid trans-binding.

Summary: Isomeric bis(aldiminium) salts with a 1,4-cyclohexylene framework were synthesized and their ditopic ligand competency was proven. The cis-isomer was shown to form an electron-rich olefin through a proton-catalyzed pathway, with a thermodynamically favorable C=C bond formation and a small activation barrier. Compounds that can be described as insertion products of the cis-isomer into E-H bonds of NH3, CH3CN, and H2O were also identified.

Summary: This paper presents the crystal structure of cis and trans-bis(O-propyldithiocarbonato)bis(pyridine)nickel(II) and tetracoordinated nickel(II) xanthate complex, as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The findings also compared the newly determined structure with the previously reported structure and highlighted the infrequent presence of a cis form for a hexacoordinated species of the [NiS4N2] type.

Summary: The synthesis, isomerization, and photophysical properties of a series of novel cis-N,N-cyclometalated complexes [Pt(C^N)(L-Phe)] were reported. The isomerization process from cis to trans forms did not significantly affect the absorption and luminescence properties in solution, except for a characteristic absorption peak observed for cis complexes. Interestingly, the cis complexes showed different absorption and emission colors in a crystalline phase compared to the trans isomers in an amorphous phase, indicating potential applications in optoelectronic devices.

Summary: This study investigates the selectivity between CO and HCOO- for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction by designing and computationally studying two heterofluorene bis-NHC-Ni pincer complexes. The research highlights the crucial roles of media and structure factors in determining selectivity. It is found that high acidity promotes CO formation while alkaline media favors HCOO- generation, and the structural factors also play a role in tuning selectivity through the trans effect of the heterofluorene.

Summary: In this study, a total of 65 cis- and trans-PCPA derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against LSD1 and LSD2. One derivative, 7c, showed high inhibitory activity against both LSD1 and LSD2, and increased the level of dimethylated histone H3 at K4 in cells. Additionally, a machine learning-based regression model was constructed to accurately predict LSD1 inhibitory activity.

Summary: In this study, we synthesized and evaluated multiple cis- and trans-PCPA derivatives for their inhibitory activity against LSD1 and LSD2. A derivative named 7c showed high inhibitory activity against both LSD1 and LSD2, and increased a significant histone modification in cells. Furthermore, a regression model based on machine learning was constructed and demonstrated good prediction accuracy for LSD1 inhibitory activity.

Summary: Using density functional theory, the relative stability of two tautomers in solvents with different dielectric constants was studied. It was found that trans-I is more stable in a vacuum, while cis-I is more stable in media with epsilon > 7. Experimental data at 368K also indicate trans-I predominance.

Summary: A synthetic procedure for preparing stable [Pd(NHC)Cl-2(DMS/THT)] pre-catalysts was reported, and their catalytic activity was studied in Buchwald-Hartwig and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions. The synthesized complexes exhibited higher catalytic activity and were considered as greener alternatives to classical PEPPSI type catalysts.

Summary: The trans-cis-trans isomerization behavior of Bismarck Brown Y (BBY) in solution and polymeric thin films was studied using optical pump-probe experiments. The thermal cis-trans back isomerization rate constants provided insights into the influence of the local environment on the isomerization process. A highly unusual biexponential decay of the commercial azo dye BBY was observed, indicating the presence of two distinct isomerization processes. The faster isomerization process was more affected by the local environment and displayed higher rate constants in aprotic solvents compared to protic solvents.

Summary: The analysis of X-ray crystal structures reveals that pyridyl diimines exhibit greater coplanarity between the imine C = N and the 2-pyridine ring compared to phenyl-substituted diimines. The lack of planarity in phenyl diimines is attributed to steric repulsion between the N = C -H and ortho hydrogen atoms, which is relieved in pyridyl diimines. Additionally, the packing interactions differ slightly between cis and trans pyridyl diimines.

Summary: Broadband rotational spectra of cis- and trans-(-)-carveol were analyzed by combining experimental and theoretical methods. The study revealed the conformational preferences of the molecules and explained the structural features observed. The results demonstrated the cooling effects on higher energy conformers and the influence of non-covalent interactions on the molecular structure.

Summary: In this study, a series of heterocyclic phosphazene compounds were synthesized by reacting different diamines with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, and their spatial configurations and chiral properties were further investigated. The experimental results showed that these compounds exhibit different spatial centrosymmetricity and chiral configurations.

Summary: The newly synthesized Pd-II complex, as a potential BNCT agent, has been compared with a previously reported analogue in terms of structure and spectral behavior. The study reveals a tendency for cis isomer conversion to the trans analogue and provides insights into their UV-vis spectral characteristics.

Summary: Analysis of bonding contributions in transition metal complexes [(MCp)-Cp-III*(L)XY] (M = Rh, Ir; Cp* = C5Me5; L = CO, CN-, CNR) revealed a variety of new interactions, including direct lateral donations and hybrid donations, accounting for approximately 20% of the electron donation to the pi*(CO) orbitals.

Summary: T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignant hematologic disease with high mortality rates, and the development of novel therapeutic agents is urgently needed due to limitations in current clinical chemotherapy. In this study, ferrocene derivatives F1 and F3 were found to exhibit potent anti-T-ALL activity by inducing apoptosis through a mitochondria-dependent pathway mediated by ROS, and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase via the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in Jurkat cells. These findings suggest that F1 and F3 hold promise as potential candidates for the future treatment of T-ALL.
