Article Abstract

A stepwise dehydrogenative cross-coupling method was developed for the formation of sterically hindered Csp3-Csp3 bonds. Intramolecular dehydrogenative O-alkylation of a β-ketoester by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone to form an oxolane followed by Lewis acid-catalyzed [1,3]-rearrangement furnished the sesquiterpene arylmethylcyclopentane skeleton. The formal syntheses of herbertane-type β-herbertenol, cuparane-type enokipodins A and B were also achieved.

We report the synthesis of homoleptic two-coordinate Co and Ni complexes supported by a sterically hindered NIm ligand (1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-iminato). Their formulation as two-coordinate complexes was verified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and their M-N bond distances are between those in the reported transition-metal imido and amido complexes, suggesting a multiple-bond character. These coordinatively unsaturated complexes readily react with GeCl·dioxane, affording bimetallic Co/Ge and Ni/Ge complexes, demonstrating facile and rational syntheses of heterobimetallic complexes.

Zinc(II) bis(triazolyl)(pyridyl)amine (Zn(BTPA)) complexes on the end of α-amino-iso-butyric acid (Aib) foldamers are able to transfer chirality from bound anions to the helical foldamer body. Zn(BTPA) could be obtained by simple synthetic methodology that allowed a range of functional groups to be installed around the binding site, exemplified with a fluorophore, a macrocyclic bridge and Aib itself. Changing functional group did not prevent chiral ligands from controlling foldamer conformation, although differences in complexation kinetics and equilibria were observed.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) imposes substantial economic losses on global swine production. While modified live vaccines remain the primary prevention tool, their efficacy is compromised by the genetic variability of PRRSV. This study developed a broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets a conserved viral epitope as an alternative therapeutic strategy.

Retaining the topology of the framework and the metal nodes while judiciously modifying the organic linker constituents presents an opportune avenue to systematically investigate the structure-activity relationship of coordination polymers (CPs). Herein, two functionalized Schiff base ligands, HL1a (1,2-cyclohexanediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--dicarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)) and HL2a (1,2-diphenylethylenediamine-,-bis(3--butyl-5--diacarboxybenzo--hydroxybenzyl)), were designed and prepared. In the two ligands, the amine moiety connecting the Schiff base is either 1,2-diaminocyclohexane or the more sterically hindered diphenylethylenediamine, which directly influences the pore distribution in the subsequently synthesized crystalline materials.

Distortions in the local symmetry around Ln(III) ions in SMMs significantly impacts slow magnetic relaxation by introducing transverse crystal field parameters that enhance quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation (QTM). Minimising these distortions, often using macrocyclic or sterically hindered ligands, or by tuning intermolecular interactions, is essential for suppressing QTM. A less-explored strategy involves aligning the molecular symmetry elements within the crystal lattice to generate a high-symmetry crystal lattice with symmetry enforced bond angles and lengths.
