Summary: The synthesis of two azadipyrromethene complexes with zinc(II) and cobalt(II) is described. The complexes were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. The complexes exhibited high molar absorptivities in the visible region, with the zinc(II) complex showing a single long-wavelength band and the cobalt(II) complex accompanied by a shoulder. X-ray crystallography revealed minimal influence of the metal(II) ion on the molecular structure. Cyclic voltammetry demonstrated two reduction and two oxidation processes.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between Re(I) complexes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using spectroscopic measurements, thermodynamic calculations, and molecular modeling. The results suggest that subtle functional group alterations at the terminal region of the Re(I) complex have a significant impact on their ability to interact with BSA. The findings provide a basis for further molecular interaction studies using Re(I) complexes as ligands.

Summary: The Tauc plot is a widely used method for determining the optical gap of amorphous semiconductors. It has also been modified to study direct and indirect interband transitions in (poly-) crystalline semiconductors. Despite its popularity, the Tauc plot should be used with caution due to the variability in electronic structure.

Summary: In this study, a novel copper complex with intense absorption properties in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions was developed. The absorption is attributed to low-energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer bands, which arise from the destabilized copper-based donor states induced by the chelating anionic ligands. These findings provide a new route to achieving panchromatic absorption in Cu(I) complexes.

Summary: In this study, the concentration of metals in a mixture of organic solvents and water or organic solvents was programmatically changed through the modulation of light of different wavelengths using hydrazone complexes or hydrazones themselves in the presence of metals. It was found that the ligand underwent photochemical isomerization under light, resulting in the formation of different complexes. The E-isomers formed stable complexes with metals, while the Z-isomers did not form complexes with these metals.

Summary: Magnesium-sulfur batteries offer higher theoretical volumetric energy density and lower cost compared to lithium-sulfur batteries, but suffer from poor cycle life and low energy efficiency. By increasing polysulfide solubility with high-donor-number solvents like dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the discharge capacity and sulfur overpotential can be improved, leading to higher performance and reversible cycling.

Summary: By combining pi-donating amido with pi-accepting pyridine coordination units in a tridentate chelate ligand, a strong nephelauxetic effect was achieved in a homoleptic Cr-III complex, shifting its luminescence to the NIR-II spectral range. This study focuses on increasing metal-ligand bond covalence to shift the ruby-like E-2 emission of Cr-III to 1067 nm at 77 K, taking a fundamentally different approach from previous ligand design strategies.

Summary: This study used synthetic molecular balances to quantify the energetics of amine/amide H-bonds in different solvents, effectively isolating the typically dominant influence of the solvent. The correlations between experimental and computed energies were found to vary depending on the solvent, but excellent correlations were achieved after dissecting solvent effects using Hunter's solvation model. Changes in the fitted constants revealed the energetics of secondary local interactions.

Summary: Cationic zinc Lewis acids catalyze the C-H borylation of heteroarenes using borane compounds. An electrophile derived from IDippZnEt combined with DMT is shown to be highly effective, particularly for weakly activated heteroarenes. The reaction proceeds by activation of the hydroborane rather than the heteroarene, providing a new pathway to access reactive borenium-type electrophiles for C-H borylation.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.

Summary: The development of the textile industry has raised concerns due to the contamination of drinking water by organic dyes, which pose a carcinogenic risk to humans. Nanomaterials, particularly semiconductors, have been utilized for photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants. Various parameters, such as catalyst dosage, irradiation time, light sources, initial dye concentration, temperature, and pH, play significant roles in the degradation process. Different generations of photocatalytic nanomaterials, including single metal nanoparticles, binary and ternary metal oxides, as well as inert solid substrates with photocatalysts, have been employed for dye degradation.
