Article Abstract
The charge-transport properties of a series of silylethynylated N-heteropentacenes (TIPS-PEN-xN; x = 2, 4) were systematically investigated using Marcus electron-transfer theory coupled with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Electronic structure calculations showed that introducing more pyrazine rings decreases the energy levels of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMOs) and should aid electron transfer. The number and the positions of the pyrazine rings greatly influence the molecular packing in crystals and hence the intermolecular electronic coupling. Furthermore, the introduction of internal (rather than external) pyrazine rings leads to a better charge-transport network. Transport parameters evaluated from the hopping and band-like models both demonstrate that, among the TIPS-PEN-xN molecules, B-TIPS-PEN-4N-which has two internal pyrazine rings-is the most promising n-type material.

Cancer and infectious diseases are major causes of global morbidity and mortality stressing the need to find novel drugs with promising dual anticancer and antimicrobial efficacy. Gold complexes have been studied for the past years due to their anticancer properties, with a few of them displaying antimicrobial properties, which support their pharmacological interest. Within this scope, we investigated six gold bisdithiolate complexes [Au (bdt)] (), [Au (dcbdt)] (), [Au (3-cbdt)] (), [Au (4-cbdt)] (), [Au (pdt)] () and [Au (dcdmp)] (), and) against the ovarian cancer cell lines A2780 and A2780cisR, the Gram-positive bacteria Newman, the Gram-negative bacteria ATCC25922 and IST408, and the pathogenic yeasts CBS138 and SC5134.

Purpose: To evaluate the synergistic effects of lurbinectedin combined with ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibition in the treatment of soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) and investigate the predictive value of Schlafen-11 (SLFN11) expression in determining treatment response.
Experimental Design: Fourteen STS cell lines were treated with lurbinectedin, the ATR inhibitor VE-822, and their combination. Cytotoxicity was assessed using cell viability assays, γ-H2AX immunostaining, cell-cycle analysis, and apoptosis assays.
Rapid visual authentication of high-temperature Daqu Baijiu using porphyrin signal amplification and smartphone-based cloud machine learning.

High-temperature Daqu Baijiu is known for its superior flavor and value. However, the adulteration of high-grade bottled low-grade Baijiu has become a significant concern. To enhance detection portability, a multi-channel visual sensor array was developed using metalloporphyrin pseudo-peroxidase activity to authenticate the same flavor type Baijiu.

The Sc(OTf)-catalyzed reaction of 2-aminobenzamide with -substituted pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde proceeded well to give a tetracyclic skeleton consisting of dihydroquinazolin-4-one and 1,2-dihydropyrrolo[1,2-]pyrazine regioselective double cyclodehydrations where two heterocyclic rings (quinazolinone and pyrazine) were sequentially constructed through the formation of three C-N bonds.

Isosteric replacement of CH units of acenes by nitrogen induces significant changes in their electronic, redox, and spectroscopic properties. Here, we describe the on-surface synthesis of a nonacene analogue substituted with four nitrogen atoms on a Au(111) surface by a two-step atom manipulation, employing a bis vinylene-bridged precursor synthesized in solution. The generated tetraazanonacene has been investigated by scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM), combined with first-principles calculations.
