Summary: This review focuses on the utilization of NH-1,2,3-triazoles as easily accessible building blocks for denitrogenative ring cleavage transformations, providing multifunctionalized nitrogen heterocycles and N-alkenyl compounds. These processes offer a convenient route to a range of pharmaceutically relevant heterocyclic cores and N-alkenyl compounds by leveraging the ready availability of NH-1,2,3-triazoles. The synthetic usefulness of in situ acylated NH-1,2,3-triazoles as viable alternatives to widely explored N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles in ring cleavage processes is highlighted.

Summary: Doping boron into organic π-conjugated polymers endows them with interesting optoelectronic properties. In this study, a new series of thienylborane-pyridine Lewis pairs were synthesized via reactions between thienylborane and various pyridine derivatives. The Lewis pairs were then cross-linked with distannylated thiophene to form BN-cross-linked polythiophenes. The resulting polymers showed highly uniform chemical structures and good stability, and the presence of topological BN structures enhanced their intramolecular charge separation. As a proof-of-concept, a representative BN-cross-linked polythiophene was tested as a catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Summary: A large variety of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles and 1,2,3-triazoles are widely used in organic chemistry as important building blocks. Mass spectrometry, specifically electrospray ionization (ESI) with ion detection, is an effective analytical tool for studying the structures of these compounds. Gas-phase rearrangement of 1,2,3-triazoles into 1,2,3-thiadiazoles was observed under certain conditions. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy helped identify important fragment ions. However, further evidence is needed to confirm the solution-phase transformation of thiadiazoles into triazoles.

Summary: Forest biomass is considered a significant source of organic carbon and can be an ideal replacement for petroleum products. Lignocellulose, derived from biomass, is the most abundant biobased material on earth and can be depolymerized to obtain value-added compounds like vanillin. By using vanillin as a biosourced starting material, a variety of aromatic dibrominated monomers can be prepared, leading to the development of new, sustainable, biosourced aromatic materials for organic electronics.

Summary: Polyesters with protein-like structural complexity have the potential to be used as biomaterials and polymeric materials. By synthesizing enantiomeric omega-hydroxy acids (OHAs) with defined atomic composition, stereochemical configuration, and substituent chemistry, we can build discrete and sequence-defined polyesters, allowing the incorporation of various functional groups at specific locations. Our results demonstrate the possibility of engineering polyesters with structural sophistication comparable to biopolymers like proteins and nucleic acids.

Summary: Intracellular protein delivery is crucial for biotherapeutics and biotechnologies but faces challenges in terms of protein binding, cellular uptake, endosomal escape, and protein release. Boronate building blocks have shown promise in overcoming these limitations due to their versatile reactivities and stimuli-responsive property. Boronate ligands transport proteins into the cytosol via receptor-mediated endocytosis and can also enhance binding to native proteins on nanocarriers.

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: This study aimed to examine the correlation between postnatal maternal self-report of alcohol consumption during pregnancy and PEth concentration measured from dried blood spot (DBS) obtained on day 5 of life. However, the study found that PEth concentration measured from DBS obtained on day 5 of life does not reliably identify modest prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) after 36 weeks' gestation from maternal self-report.

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: 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.
