Summary: The first oligopyrrolic Cu(ii)-based metallocage with two antiferromagnetically coupled dimeric cupric tetracarboxylate units linked by a single molecule of water was successfully assembled using a nonlinear pyridine-pyrrolate ligand. Broken symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations showed that the exchange couplings between Cu(ii) ions in the Cu-2 unit and over the water bridge were -298 and -0.13 cm(-1), respectively.

Summary: We synthesized and characterized Cu(ii) complexes CuL1-CuL6 with cyclen-based ligands. The ligands L-1-L-6 comprise different donor sets including S and O atoms. The substitution of N donor atoms with hard donor O atoms leads to efficient oxidative nucleases, but dissociation of the complex upon reduction. We are showing that the rational combination of O and S atoms next to two nitrogen donors within the macrocycle leads to the stabilization of both redox states, resulting in the highest oxidative DNA cleavage activity within this family of cyclen-based Cu(ii) complexes.

Summary: In this study, high-order perturbation formulas for EPR parameters of Cu2+ ions in a tetragonally elongated octahedron were applied to theoretical studies, showing good agreement between calculated and observed values. The octahedral [CuO6] cluster in the MAT crystal was found to be elongated by about 3.7% along the C-4 axis due to the Jahn-Teller effect.

Summary: This study investigates the structure and electronic properties of a series of Cu(II) Casiopeina-type complexes and their influence on the rhombicity and in-plane distortion of the complexes. The results demonstrate that ligand size plays a significant role in these properties.

Summary: In this study, the structural, electrical, and optical properties of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and lead titanate (PbTiO3) were investigated using the plane wave pseudopotential method and the PBESOL approximation in the framework of density functional theory (DFT). The calculations using different types of pseudopotentials show good agreement with experimental values, especially for ultrasoft pseudopotentials (USPP) and projector-augmented wave (PAW) pseudopotentials.

Summary: This study focuses on the capture and transformation of gaseous I-2 using three distinct terephthalate-based MOFs: MIL-125(Ti), MIL-125(Ti)_NH2, and CAU-1(Al)_NH2. The results show that MIL-125(Ti)_NH2 exhibits the highest capture capacity, which is attributed to its amino group affinity, smaller band gap energy, and efficient charge separation.

Summary: In this study, two different types of heterocycles embedded with thione functional group were synthesized, and the effect of these thione-containing ligands on the magnetic properties of iron(II) octahedral complexes was investigated. The results showed that the structure and electronic parameters of the thione ligands play a crucial role in determining the magnetic properties of the metal complexes.

Summary: A new copper(II) coordination polymer was synthesized and characterized. Various spectroscopic and analytical techniques were used to confirm the structure and properties of the polymer. Computational methods were employed to gain additional insight into the supramolecular interactions in the crystal. The results provided a deeper understanding of the complex packing and electronic transitions in the polymer.

Summary: This study investigates the reactivity of a bispyrazole ligand (L) with Co(II) and Cu(II) metal centers. The Co(II) compound exhibits a polymeric structure similar to its Zn(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) analogues, while the Cu(II) compound displays an unexpected dimeric architecture caused by a previously unreported coordination mode of the ligand. The crystal structures of the complexes are thoroughly discussed and compared to existing literature references.

Summary: Copper complexes catalyze cross-coupling reactions through a newly discovered mechanism. The copper(II) complexes catalyze Ullmann coupling by synthesizing the C-O bond through concerted oxidative addition. This mechanism allows for high turnover numbers and the reactions can be performed in air.

Summary: This study presents a MM3* force field for ferrocenyl ligands, which accurately predicts the stereochemical outcomes of aminations of Pd-allyl complexes. The force field was validated against DFT calculations and crystal structures, showing good accuracy and revealing the physical origin of deviations. The compatibility with previously developed force fields was also demonstrated.

Summary: Copper(ii) coordination compounds with different forms of magnetic exchange interactions were synthesized and structurally analyzed. The compound (I) exhibited ferromagnetic exchange interactions, while compound (II) showed antiferromagnetic exchange interactions. In both crystalline structures, intermolecular hydrogen bonding resulted in weak magnetic exchange interactions of both the ferro- and antiferromagnetic types.

Summary: Na-ion cathode materials with high voltages, long cycling life, and high capacity are important for future high-energy Na-ion batteries. This study develops a doping strategy using copper to alleviate irreversible oxygen oxidation at high voltages, resulting in stable cycling behavior and improved anionic redox activity for layered oxide cathode materials.
