Summary: Heteroleptic molybdenum complexes with P2N2 and non-innocent dithiolene ligands were synthesized and electrochemically characterized. The reduction potentials of the complexes were adjusted by ligand-ligand cooperativity via non-covalent interactions. This finding was supported by electrochemical studies, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and temperature-dependent NMR spectroscopy. The observed behavior resembles enzymatic redox modulation through second ligand sphere effects.

Summary: In this paper, a series of tripodal nitrogen mustard derivatives (TMs) were developed, and the host-guest binding model was successfully tuned by rationally designing the intramolecular alkyl chain lengths of the host. This transformation from pi-pi to multiple hydrogen bonds enhanced the host-guest binding force and recognition efficiency.

Summary: Bent (hetero)allenes, such as carbodicarbenes and carbodiphosphoranes, have diverse applications in coordination chemistry as neutral C-donor ligands. N-Heterocyclic diazoolefins function similarly to L-type ligands, and in this study, the synthesis and reactivity of anionic diazoolefin are described. The anionic diazoolefin displays distinct reactivity, allowing for the preparation of diazo compounds via protonation, alkylation, or silylation. It can also be employed as an ambidentate, X-type ligand in salt metathesis reactions with metal halide complexes, resulting in the formation of a stable phosphinocarbene through the extrusion of dinitrogen.

Summary: In this study, a luminescent ratiometric RH sensor was successfully developed by incorporating a metal-ligand zinc complex into a polyethylene glycol (PEG) matrix, which can convert different humidity values into different fluorescence colors with high sensitivity, good reversibility, and rapid response time. The dynamic tuning of coordination bonds through water molecules is responsible for the emission color changes under different humidity values.

Summary: This study presents the generation and detection of strongly entangled triplet acyl-alkyl radical pairs in solid state, with long-lived components accounting for a significant part of the population and lifetimes extending to the longest range reported so far. The structural information inferred from the starting ketone may help analyze the effects of proximity and orientation of the singly occupied orbitals, potentially paving the way for the use of triplet radical pairs as qubits in quantum information technologies.

Summary: The investigation of the interaction between metal ions and DNA has always been a topic of great interest in the fields of bioinorganic chemistry, supramolecular coordination chemistry, and DNA nanotechnology. The interaction can be divided into non-specific electrostatic adsorption and specific covalent binding. This article focuses on the mechanism of action between Ag+ and DNA mismatch pair C-C, and summarizes the characterization methods and applications. It aims to provide a reference for the field of biological devices. The development of cryo-electron microscopy and liquid-cell TEM is expected to further characterize the structure of C-Ag+-C and enhance its application.

Summary: The study reveals that ligands with longer alkyl chains can effectively promote the conversion of Ru-III-OH to Ru-IV=O, and the presence of perchlorate anions can further enhance this conversion. Additionally, the alkyl chain on the ligands also helps promote the adsorption of ruthenium complexes on the electrode surface.

Summary: This study demonstrates the use of ruthenium nanoparticles stabilized with simple polymerized ionic liquids as highly active and robust catalysts in hydrogenation reactions. The activity and selectivity of these catalysts can be manipulated through counter-anion exchange reactions, showing potential for reversible and selective control of catalyst activity in hydrogenation reactions.

Summary: In this study, MnCo2S4 nanosheet catalyst was successfully synthesized and found to exhibit superior performance in hydrogen evolution. Compared to MnCo2S4, MnCo2S4 showed low overpotentials, moderate Tafel slope, and excellent sustainability. The outstanding performance can be attributed to the increased number of electrochemically active sites and enhanced electronic conductivity on the catalyst surface.

Summary: Networks are important for describing relationships between people, roads between cities, reactions between chemicals, and other interactions. Bipartiteness, dividing the network into two groups, can facilitate the study of the network's structure. We have developed an algorithm that can find a near-optimal bipartisation within a reasonable time frame and used it to uncover the hidden structure of the CSD cocrystal network.
