Summary: Here, we present the development of mechanochemical amino- and oxycarbonylation reactions using FeBr2(CO)(4) as a solid CO source. This Pd/XantPhos-catalyzed reaction enables the synthesis of a wide range of carboxamides and esters from aryl iodides and various amines or phenols. Notably, both primary and secondary amines, including amino acids, can be used as N-nucleophiles.

Summary: Over the past decade, various carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed and tested for their ability to modulate biological systems. CORMs can release CO extracellularly or intracellularly, either spontaneously or via an enzymatic trigger, with potential differences in efficacy. The spatiotemporal release of CO by CORMs plays a crucial role in their modulation of biological targets, such as HO-1 and VCAM-1 expression in cells.

Summary: CO is an endogenous signaling molecule that can modulate immune responses and engage circadian clock components. CORM-A1, one of the commonly used CO-release molecules, shows variable CO release efficiency and rate depending on factors such as the medium used and redox environment. The significant chemical reactivity of CORM-A1 suggests caution in using it as a CO surrogate in biological studies.

Summary: In this study, three water-soluble compounds containing a thiol group were used to initiate CO-release from a diiron hexacarbonyl complex. By using EDTA as a solubilizing agent, precipitate formation during the CO-releasing process was prevented and CO-release from the complex was facilitated. Despite the presence of thiol functional groups in the chosen ligands, their behaviors in promoting CO-release differed.

Summary: We present novel mild approaches to trisubstituted trifluoromethylthiolated (SCF3) aziridines and cyclo-propanes through Darzens inspired protocols. These anionic annulations, which have been rarely explored previously, yield products with appealing features that make them valuable building blocks for synthesis platforms. Specifically, trisubstituted acetophenone nucleophiles containing SCF3 and bromine substituents in their a position undergo [2 + 1] annulations with vinyl ketones and tosyl-protected imines under mild reaction conditions.

Summary: A recent study has demonstrated the photo-induced CO-releasing capabilities of the complex Re1Pc, which is composed of a [Re(CO)(3)](+) unit and a phthalocyanine ligand. The complex exhibited efficient spin-orbit coupling and large Franck-Condon factors, resulting in short excited-state lifetimes and ultrafast intersystem crossing. This research provides promising insights into the development of red-light-driven photoCORMs for biomedical applications.

Summary: This study quantitatively investigated the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide reactions with metal carbonyls to evaluate the CO release mechanism under physiological conditions. The results showed that approximately 2.5 equivalents of CO are released upon oxidation of the model complex A by H2O2, with kinetics dependent on pH. Density functional calculations were used to assess the key intermediates in the proposed reaction pathways and their relevance to physiological CO delivery by carbon monoxide releasing moieties.

Summary: Carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic at high concentrations but has therapeutic benefits at low concentrations. Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed as alternatives to direct CO inhalation, with the ability to control CO release. However, appropriate delivery strategies are needed to improve therapeutic efficacy.

Summary: Biallelic LIPE null variants were identified in three unrelated patients with Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (MSL) and/or partial lipodystrophy, leading to a multisystemic disease with various metabolic and neurological complications. Loss of HSL expression impairs adipocyte differentiation, consistent with the lipodystrophy/MSL phenotype and associated metabolic complications, indicating the importance of detailed ophthalmological examination for retinal damage in these patients.

Summary: Mao et al. reported a highly sensitive quantification of carbon monoxide using a simple colorimetric assay with the synthetic supramolecular compound hemoCD1. This method can detect CO distribution in organs, including the brain, and can also function as a CO scavenger to eliminate residual CO accumulated in organs. The authors also demonstrated the protective role of circulating hemoglobin in CO intoxication.

Summary: In this study, the mechanisms of chemoresistance in multiple myeloma (MM) relapse were investigated. The researchers found that heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) protected MM cells from the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ). Inhibition of HO-1 and TLR4 increased cell toxicity and mitochondrial depolarization by BTZ. Furthermore, the combination of TLR4 inhibition and BTZ treatment activated mitophagy and decreased the unfolded protein response (UPR) survival pathway by downregulating HO-1 expression.

Summary: It has been discovered that metal carbonyls can be grafted onto polysaccharides to efficiently deliver carbon monoxide to cells, especially adipocytes. Oral administration of two functionalized CO-RMs glyco-CORMs (5b and 6b) can lead to CO accumulation in multiple organs, including adipose tissue. Furthermore, glyco-CORM 6b administered for eight weeks in mice fed a high-fat diet can result in anti-obesity and positive metabolic effects.

Summary: In this study, an injectable antidote against simultaneous poisoning by carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen cyanide (CN-) was invented. The antidote showed remarkable protective effects in mouse and rat models, improving survival rates and reducing CO and CN- levels in the blood. Pharmacokinetic data demonstrated fast urinary excretion and short elimination half-life of the antidote. Furthermore, the antidote was effective in improving survival and promoting rapid recovery from physical incapacitation in a simulated fire accident scenario.

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.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.
