Summary: Thallium(I) complexes of B-methylated and B-phenylated tris(pyridyl)borates with trifluoromethyl groups at the pyridyl ring 6-positions have been synthesized and compared to the tris(pyrazolyl)borate analogues. The coordination modes and spectroscopic features of these complexes have been studied, revealing distinct differences between the two scorpionate families. The steric demands of the ligands have been quantified using the buried volume concept. Ligand transfer chemistry from these complexes to copper(I) under ethylene has also been investigated, and computational analyses of the coordination modes have been performed.

Summary: In the investigated glass system, the optical absorption of Cr ions decreases as the Li2O content increases, along with a decrease in crystal field strength and a reverse trend in Racah parameters B and C. The presence of both Cr6+ and Cr3+ states in the alkali borate glass were indicated by ESR signals, while FTIR spectra showed vibrations of B-O bonds and allowed for estimation of N-4 fraction utilizing IR parameters. Minor changes in bond angles and lengths of borate structural units post γ-irradiation indicated slight diversity in IR band intensities.

Summary: Tris(bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl)phosphine is synthesized by radical addition of PH3 to [1.1.1]propellane, which gives the smallest tri-tertalkylphosphine known. It acts as a bis-ligated Pd(0) complex Pd(PBcp3)2 and shows exceptional reactivity towards alkyl halide oxidative addition, making it a general ligand for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of sp3 electrophiles. The radical addition of [1.1.1]propellane to phenylphosphine also demonstrates the generality of this method in bicyclopentylphosphine synthesis.

Summary: Tris(2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl)phosphine, P(o-TMSC6H4)(3), was synthesized and characterized. The compound shows air stability due to its large steric bulk, and can undergo protonation, oxidation, and complexation to Au-I. However, complexation reactions with other metal cations were unsuccessful. In addition, the compound exhibits reversible electrochemical oxidation, making it a model compound for studying the electronic properties of sterically unencumbered phosphines.

Summary: The excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2) is crucial for the clearance and recycling of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Dysfunctions in EAAT2 can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS and AD. Detecting EAAT2 in the living human brain is important for improving diagnosis and therapy for these diseases. This article discusses the role of EAAT2 and presents potential activators for therapy and molecular imaging tools for diagnosis.

Summary: We study the properties of anthracene-based molecules with anchor groups capable of binding to noble metal substrates. The effect of different anchor groups and quantum interference on the electronic and thermoelectric properties of single-molecule junctions is investigated. The results show good agreement between theory and experiments, and suggest that the choice of anchor group and electrode material can significantly influence the thermoelectric behavior of the molecular junction. This finding has important implications for the design of thermoelectric generator devices.

Summary: Bioconjugates of antibodies and their derivatives labeled with beta(+)-emitting radionuclides can be used for diagnostic PET imaging. Site-specific attachment of radioactive cargo to antibody delivery vectors provides well-defined immunoconjugates. This study demonstrates the successful application of the oxaziridine chemistry for site-specific radiolabeling of trastuzumab-derived Fab immunoconjugates with Ga-68. The resulting radiotracers show higher affinity for HER2 receptors and better tumor delineation in PET imaging compared to non-modified conjugates.

Summary: This study investigates the geometric and electronic structure of 1,1'-dialkynylferrocene molecules using various techniques. It reveals that these molecules prefer a 'hairpin' conformation and that the presence and nature of the second alkyne affect their thermoelectric properties. The study also shows that modulating the position of molecular orbitals and the relative position of the secondary alkyne with the metal surface can control the thermoelectric properties of these systems.

Summary: Thallium, known for its toxic properties, has been explored for applications in nuclear diagnostics and medicine. Lack of suitable organic chelators for coordinating Tl ions and delivering them to specific diseased tissue has led to a loss of interest in its use. This study describes the synthesis and characterization of a series of Kryptofix 222-based chelators that can be radiolabeled with Tl-201(i) at high yields. Despite the ability of the Kryptofix system to bind thallium cations, no PSMA-mediated cell uptake was observed with the PSMA-conjugate, suggesting that this targeting moiety may not be suitable for use with Tl-201.

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.
