Summary: A series of tridentate polypyridyl N^N^N/N^C^N-coordinating ligands (R1, R2, L1, L2) were synthesized using palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura C-C bond-forming and N-methylation reactions with high yields (70-97%). The ligands were characterized using various analytical techniques, and their electrochemical and photophysical properties were investigated. Theoretical calculations were also performed to study the optoelectronic properties of these compounds. Some of the ligands exhibited mixed or pure luminescence transitions. Charged ligands (L3 and L4) were used as selective chemosensors for the detection of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions with high sensitivity.

Summary: Anthropogenic climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as marine heatwaves (MHW), which have significant impacts on marine ecosystems. This study evaluated the effects of simulated MHWs and low tide conditions on the early development of common cuttlefish. The results showed that temperature had a significant impact on development time, while tidal emersion had no significant effect. The embryos of the cuttlefish exhibited remarkable resilience to emersion conditions, and the simulated MHWs did not cause any sub-lethal oxidative stress-related effects.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.
