Summary: Two reduced Schiff base ligands (L-1 and L-2) were synthesized from two Schiff base compounds containing pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide skeletons. In the presence of Zn(II) or Ag(I) ions, five complexes were synthesized and characterized. The structural differences of the complexes reveal two different configurations of the ligands in coordination with metal ions. Furthermore, the Ag(I) complexes exhibit good inhibiting effects against M. grisea and S. sclerotiorum.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis of new N4-donor compounds with p-xylyl spacers. Various Schiff base aliphatic N-donors were synthesized and evaluated for their interactions with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and yeast RNA. The structures of the ligands L1-L5 and coordination polymers Polymer1 and Polymer2 were characterized using X-ray, NMR, and elemental analysis. Spectroscopic analyses suggest that the thiazolecarboxaldehyde derivative L1 has a unique mechanism for binding CT-DNA and exhibits a higher affinity for DNA than RNA. Moreover, Polymer2 was found to be more effective than the free Ag(I) salt in inhibiting bacterial proliferation.

Summary: This study provides a new method for synthesizing linear A-B alternating macromolecular systems based on double-decker squaraine (DDSQ) through known hydrosilylation reactions, and reports for the first time the formation of DDSQ-based copolymers with DPn over 1000. The impact of Si-H and Si-Vi reactive group placement in DDSQ on the molecular weight distributions, degree of polymerization, and physicochemical properties (thermal, mechanical, and hydrophobic properties) of the resulting copolymers was also investigated. Understanding the catalytic processes leading to the formation of copolymer systems based on squaraine will facilitate the development of hybrid materials with desired properties and applications.

Summary: Bifunctional fluorescent molecules based on benzoxadiazole or benzothiadiazole were synthesized and their properties were studied. These dyes exhibited solvent polarity-dependent emission maxima and fluorescence quantum yield. They underwent electropolymerization in dichloromethane-based electrolyte but not in propylene carbonate-based electrolyte. In the latter, the fluorophores could be reversibly oxidized, leading to a color change and fluorescence quenching. The dyes' properties made them suitable for dual electrochromic and electrofluorochromic applications.

Summary: Although chemotherapy has extended the life expectancy of cancer patients, the toxic side effects of chemotherapy are still a major challenge. Organometallic compounds, specifically Schiff base copper complexes, have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation anticancer drugs due to their unique anticancer activities. This study examined the anticancer mechanisms of two copper(II) complexes, binuclear complex-1 and mononuclear complex-2. The results showed that complex-1 exhibited higher cytotoxicity than complex-2. Both complexes induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, but complex-1 showed a stronger effect on cell cycle arrest at the sub-G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, gene expression analysis revealed that only complex-1 induced the expression of p53 while both complexes induced Bcl-2 overexpression. Interestingly, both complexes inhibited cell migration through protease-independent pathways. This study highlights the potential of Cu-containing complexes in preventing cancer cell migration and suggests their use in novel therapeutic approaches.

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.
