We present a comprehensive examination of structural, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties of the heterobimetallic ionic complexes with general formula [Co(hfa)<small><sub>3</sub></small>]-[RE(hfa)<small><sub>2</sub></small>tetraglyme]+<small><sup></sup></small> (RE = Dy, Eu, Y), where the metal centres are coordinated by the hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Hhfa = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione), β-diketone and the tetraglyme (2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane) polyether. Structural analysis reveals an octahedral coordination geometry enveloping the cobalt(II) centre, characterized by inherent symmetry properties consistent across the derivatives, while a capped square-antiprism coordination polyhedron is observed for the RE ions. Magnetic characterization, employing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, confirms the constancy of the electronic structure of the cobalt(II) moiety and the significant contribution of the lanthanide ions to the magnetic properties of the compounds. The non-trivial single-ion magnetic properties of cobalt(II), dysprosium(III), and europium(III) centres, and the effect of their interactions are investigated by detailed static and dynamic magnetic susceptibility studies. Moreover, optical analyses have been carried out showing the π-π* intraligand (IL) transition of the β-diketonate ligand and the d-d cobalt(II) transitions. Luminescence characterization of dysprosium(III) and europium(III) derivatives exhibits their characteristic emission bands, indicative of the unique photophysical properties conferred by the lanthanide ions. Thermal studies via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) reveal good thermal stability and volatility properties, underscoring the interesting nature of these ionic complexes. In summary, these heterobimetallic complexes show intriguing optical and magnetic properties with potential implications across diverse scientific disciplines, including molecular magnetism, optoelectronics, and materials science.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of research groups focusing on the discovery of new drugs to treat cancer is growing and the aim is to look for more effective compounds that cause less severe side effects and do not suffer from therapeutic resistance. The metal complexes Cisplatin and Carboplatin are widely used in the chemotherapeutic treatment of various types of cancer, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Both compounds are essential in modern chemotherapy and continue to be the subject of research to optimize their therapeutic properties and minimize adverse effects. Laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) allows both quantitative data and information on the spatial distribution of elements in biological tissues and populations of single cells to be obtained. In this work, the content of Pt and its distribution in TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells were determined via LA-ICP-MS analysis after incubation with different Pt-containing drugs. The quantitative analysis of single cells and the elemental maps revealing the distribution of Pt over and within the cells provide an enhanced insight into the potential mechanism of action of these Pt-containing drugs and their efficacy against TNBC.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142556344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental conductivity investigations were carried out over a wide temperature range (up to 900 °C) and at various oxygen partial pressures. For Bi3.24Ln2W0.76O10.14, the anionic type of conductivity is predominant with a share of the electronic component.

Typically, recovering mesoporous alumina in powder form takes several days due to the need for controlled solvent evaporation conditions. The mesostructure obtained from the EISA process is highly sensitive to these conditions, which can sometimes hinder reproducibility. This paper presents an improved EISA method using a centrifugal evaporator, which enables the rapid recovery of mesoporous alumina powder (approximately 2 h) from multiple precursor solutions under controlled evaporation conditions. The advantages of using a centrifugal evaporator over traditional vacuum evaporation methods include: (1) the reduction of bumping and foaming due to centrifugal force; (2) resistance to evaporated gaseous HCl; and (3) the ability to evaporate multiple samples simultaneously. This enhanced EISA process is expected to accelerate the research progress of powdery mesoporous materials.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142555706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Density functional simulations with a 485+ atom model of the active site and surrounds are used to describe here the further reactions of this HNNH intermediate. The first step is hydrogenation to form HNNH<small><sub>2</sub></small> bridging Fe2 and Fe6. Then a single step reaction breaks the N-N bond, generating an Fe2-NH-Fe6 bridge and forming NH<small><sub>3</sub></small> bound to Fe6. Then NH<small><sub>3</sub></small> dissociates from Fe6. Reaction potential energies and kinetic barriers for all steps are reported for the most favourable electronic states of the system. The sequence of steps that follow the Fe2-NH-Fe6 intermediate, forming and dissociating the second NH<small><sub>3</sub></small>, are outlined, including regeneration of the resting state of the enzyme. These results provide an interpretation of the recent steady-state kinetic data and analysis by Harris et al, [Biochemistry 61, 2131 (2022)] who found a slow step after the formation of the HNNH intermediate. The calculated potential energy barriers for the HNNH<small><sub>2</sub></small> → NH + NH3 reaction (30 - 36 kcal mol-1), are larger than the potential energy barriers for the N<small><sub>2</sub></small> → HNNH reaction (19 to 29 kcal mol-1).

We focus on metal complexes of histatin 3 and its two products of hydrolysis: histatin 4 and its N-terminal fragment (histatin 3-4). The thermodynamic stability of these complexes is quite expected – the binding of Cu(II) via the ATCUN motif results in the formation of very stable complexes. In histatin-Zn(II) complexes, the {2Nim} type of coordination dominates, with polymorphic binding sites observed for histatin 3-4 and 5-8, result in their low thermodynamic stability compared to the complexes of histatin 3, 4, 5 and 8 with Zn(II), in which we observe a {2Nim, O-} type of coordination. Histatin 3, 3-4 and 4 have greater activity against Gram-positive bacteria than against Gram-negative ones, and Cu(II) or Zn(II) binding can, in some cases, moderately increase the antimicrobial activity of the native histatin 3 and 4, but not the remaining 3-4 fragment. The most probable reason for the metal-enhanced antimicrobial activity is, in this case, a local change of charge, while the chemically fascinating metal binding induced structural changes do not result in a change of biological activity. Neither histatin 3-4, the N-terminal fragment of histatin 3, which remains in solution after cleavage, nor its metal complexes have any antimicrobial activity, but histatin 3-4 presents intriguing Zn(II)-induced structural behavior, changing its secondary structure, with a tendency to form an α-helix.","PeriodicalId":71,"journal":{"name":"Dalton Transactions","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142541128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
