Summary: High-resolution electrospray ionization ion mobility mass spectrometry has identified a gas-phase isomer of the well-studied Au-25(SR)(18) cluster, with relative abundance controlled by in-source activation. The measured properties of the new isomer match theoretical predictions closely, suggesting that structural dynamics play a role in gas-phase reactions of thiolate-protected gold clusters and that isomerization may be manipulated by external stimuli.

Summary: The chemical structures of low-pressure premixed flames fueled by acetone and propanal at different equivalence ratios were investigated in this study. The experimental observations and modeling interpretations revealed different reaction pathways and species pools for the two fuel molecules. The position of the carbonyl bond in the fuel molecules influenced the speciation behaviors under premixed flame conditions, with propanal showing higher reactivity and different fuel consumption patterns compared to acetone.

Summary: In this study, we developed an in situ droplet-based derivatization method for rapid analysis of tissue lipids at multiple isomer levels. The method involves on-tissue derivatization using the TriVersa NanoMate LESA pipette, followed by extraction and analysis of the derivatized lipids using chip-based LESA mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS. This approach enables characterization of lipid isomers at the carbon-carbon double-bond positional and sn-positional levels, as well as relative quantitation based on diagnostic ion intensities. The method allows for multiple derivatizations at different spots in the same functional region of an organ, facilitating orthogonal lipid isomer analysis using a single tissue slide. Lipid isomers in different regions of the mouse brain were profiled, demonstrating the potential of this droplet-based derivatization method in tissue lipid studies requiring fast sample-to-result turnovers.

Summary: The assembly of A(3 peptide is closely associated with Alzheimer's disease. Two covalently stabilized isomorphic trimers derived from A(3) were compared in terms of their structure, biophysical and biological characteristics. The trimers exhibited different assembly and biological properties, with one forming small soluble oligomers and the other forming large insoluble aggregates. The two trimers also had different effects on the aggregation, toxicity, and cellular interaction of full-length A(3). These findings provide insights into the differences among A(3 oligomers.

Summary: Supramolecular cages/vesicles in biology demonstrate complex structures and functions by utilizing a few types of protein subunits quasi-equivalently at distinct geometrical locations. Synthetic supramolecular cages lack comparable complexity to natural systems. Self-assembled giant pentagonal supramolecular prisms with tetratopic pyridinyl subunits exhibit unexpected three-fold rotational symmetry in a novel superstructure, providing a new approach to construct highly sophisticated supramolecular architectures.

Summary: An iron-based catalytic system has been developed for the selective generation of unsymmetrical 1,3-butadiynes through cross-coupling of 1-bromoalkynes with terminal alkynes in water under air. A combination of less acidic 1-bromoalkynes and their more acidic counterparts greatly enhances yields and selectivity. This reaction is also applicable for the synthesis of unsymmetrical 1,3,5-hexatriynes through one-pot coupling of 1-bromoalkynes and trimethylsilyl-protected 1,3-butadiynes.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
