Summary: In this study, a cationic complex was used as a precursor to functionalize a multi-chromophoric system, resulting in an adduct with eighteen platinum(II) organometallic fragments. The coordination between the platinum(II) center and the pyridyl moieties of the porphyrin was confirmed through UV/vis and fluorescence titrations. Micrometer-sized emissive porphyrin rings were obtained by drop casting a diluted solution of the adduct onto a glass surface.

Summary: Compared to phosphine counterparts, little attention has been paid to the study of ferrocene stibines. This paper describes the synthesis of ferrocene stibine derivatives and their reactivity and coordination behavior. The compounds were characterized through various spectroscopic techniques and crystallography. The research findings reveal important insights into the structural parameters and electrochemical properties of the ferrocene stibines, but their catalytic efficiency needs to be further improved in Suzuki-Miyaura biaryl coupling reactions.

Summary: The Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination of 2-bromo-1-iodobenzene with (4-amino-2-tert-butyl)-phenanthridine using 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) leads to a side reaction involving the activation of dppf's P-C bond and the formation of a unique Pd(II) coordination complex. The study provides a comprehensive characterization of this complex and proposes a mechanism for the rare unstrained P-C-(cyclopentadienyl) bond activation.

Summary: The functionalization of (R,R)-S,S'-di-tert-butylferrocene-1,1'-disulfoxide by deprotolithiation-electrophilic trapping sequences was studied, leading to polysubstituted, enantiopure derivatives with determined properties. The regioselectivity of subsequent functionalization was explained based on pK(a) values and structural data. The deprotometallation-trapping sequence allowed for the synthesis of highly substituted ferrocenes, including octa, nona, and decasubstituted derivatives. The prepared ferrocene-1,1'-disulfoxides were tested as ligands for enantioselective catalysis and their electrochemical properties were investigated.

Summary: Two anionic diphosphametallocenates, [K(2.2.2-crypt)][M(PC4Me4)(2)] (M = Cr, 2-Cr; Fe, 2-Fe), were reported to be low-spin (S = 1/2) based on EPR and SQUID measurements. This is in contrast to the high-spin ferrocenate [K(2.2.2-crypt)][Fe(C5H2-1,2,4-Bu-t)(2)] (4-Fe) due to significant differences in ligand field splitting of the d-orbitals. Quantum calculations suggest that these differences also explain the structural features observed in the 2-M complexes.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance influenza vaccination uptake among adults with chronic respiratory conditions by using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) to specify intervention content. The study identified barriers and enablers to vaccination through focus groups, interviews, and surveys. Factors such as perceptions of vaccine side effects, time constraints, and fear of needles were found to be common barriers, while enablers included protection from influenza, reminders, and support from others. Based on the findings, the study proposed a suite of multi-level intervention components involving diverse actors, recipients, and settings to enhance vaccination uptake.

Summary: In this study, nanoscale two-dimensional Fe-II- and Co-II-based metal-organic frameworks (NMOFs) were shown to have an anticancer effect in the tumor microenvironment. These NMOFs can catalyze the production of hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) and O-2 in the presence of H2O2, and consume O-2 to produce singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) through photodynamic therapy. Both center dot OH and O-1(2) are reactive oxygen species (ROS) that inhibit cancer cell proliferation.

Summary: Coordination polymers of transition metal ions, such as silver(I), are important in coordination chemistry. Silver(I) coordination polymers are often insoluble in common solvents, making it difficult to analyze them in solution. However, by using a tetramethyl-substituted bipyrazole ligand, we have synthesized more soluble silver(I) complexes with coordinated ions CF3CO2- and CF3SO3-. We determined the structures of these complexes and studied their solution behavior using various spectroscopic techniques.

Summary: This paper presents a mild strategy for aminating aryl halides with anilines using dual photoredox and nickel catalysis. Thioxanthen-9-one, an inexpensive and readily available compound, greatly enhanced this cross-coupling reaction, yielding a diverse range of diarylamines in good yields (41-93%) at room temperature. The reaction could be performed under compact fluorescent lamp light or sunlight and was tolerant of various functional groups. It was successfully applied to the synthesis of natural products and drug molecules, even at a gram-scale. The mechanism involves several steps including oxidative addition, transmetalation, energy transfer, and reductive elimination.

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.
