Summary: The reaction between rhenium alpha-diimine tricarbonyl complexes and nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate yields dicarbonyl-nitrosyl [Re(CO)(2)(NO)(N-N)X](+) species, showing potential antimicrobial applications. The metal ion in the complexes behaves as a hard Re acid with strong affinity for pi-basic ligands, making it difficult to replace with other ligands. The complexes can be photo-activated towards CO release, representing a new class of photoCORMs.

Summary: The reactivity of low-valent alkyl-substituted metallacyclobutadienes towards electron-rich alkynes was studied. It was found that nucleophilic attack on the ReC(R) carbon of the starting metallacyclobutadienes can lead to the formation of new vinyl-substituted complexes. Additionally, the reactions also produce metallacyclobutadiene complexes with vinyl substituents.

Summary: This paper describes a unique benzannulation strategy for the regioselective de novo synthesis of densely functionalized phenols. By utilizing a metal-mediated formal [2+2+1+1] cycloaddition reaction of two different alkynes and two molecules of CO, a series of densely functionalized phenols were obtained. This benzannulation strategy allows for efficient installation of up to five different substituents on a phenol ring, resulting in a substitution pattern distinct from those obtained from Dotz and Danheiser benzannulations.

Summary: This article provides a brief overview of the organometallic chemistry of technetium based on the experiences of the author and others over the past thirty years. It highlights the influence of earlier publications in shaping current chemistry and the author's own research, and explores the unexpected formation of complexes due to kinetic differences between 99Tc and 99mTc. The article also emphasizes that organometallic technetium chemistry is still underdeveloped, lacking key core organometallics found in other d-elements such as & eta;2-alkene and & eta;2-alkyne complexes.

Summary: Developing the recovery technology of rhenium under high molybdenum background is of great importance in recycling rhenium resources from molybdenum concentrate leaching solution. A resin called LSL-N was synthesized with N-methylimidazole as the functional group, which showed a good adsorption capacity for Re(VII) and Mo(VI). The LSL-N resin can simultaneously enrich Re(VII) and Mo(VI) in the eluent, and both molybdenum and rhenium can be recovered through stepwise desorption with different desorbents.

Summary: The CBC method evaluates a molecule by considering the total number of L, X, and Z functions interacting with the central atom M. It is a simplistic approach based on the concept of electron contributions to 2-electron bonds. In cases where a 2-center 2-electron bonding model is insufficient, a more detailed consideration is required for the ML(l)X(x)Z(z) classification.

Summary: Here, a concise method for preparing functionalized cyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling is reported. The conversion of 2,3,4,5-tetramethylcyclopent-2-en-1-one into the cyclopentadienylboronic acid pinacol ester, which serves as a coupling partner with aryl halides, was successfully achieved. Various functionalized cyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes were synthesized from commercially available aryl bromides in two steps. Additionally, a novel chiral cyclopentadienyl rhodium complex was rapidly synthesized as a precatalyst for an asymmetric C-H functionalization reaction.

Summary: The study showed that adding [Cu(NN1)(2)](ClO4) as a dietary supplement to rainbow trout for 15 days at doses of 29 and 58 μg/g fish did not affect growth, but resulted in changes in copper concentration in the intestine and muscle. High copper levels were detected in pond water after feeding with the complex.
