Article Abstract
The thermosalient transformation in nickel(II) bis(diisopropyl)dithiocarbamate has been investigated using selective deuteration. The deuterated crystals undergo a reversible displacive phase transition that is ∼4 K higher in temperature compared to the protonated analogue. Neutron, synchrotron, density-functional theory, and calorimetric techniques were utilized to demonstrate the substantial effect of deuterium. All techniques demonstrated the equivalence of the mechanism on an atomic scale between the protonated and deuterated complexes. The data collected in this study reveal details of the changes of atomic motion that underpin the thermosalience inherent in this system. Deuterium decreased the frequency of atomic vibrations thus increasing the temperature of the observed transformation. This study represents a key advancement in the field of thermosalient molecular systems and provides insights into the control and manipulation of thermosalient materials.

Background: Copper-mediated radiofluorination (CMRF) is a breakthrough in F-radiochemistry, enabling F incorporation into molecules even at electron-rich aromatic positions. In recent years, several improved protocols have been reported to advance the application of CMRF. These advancements primarily focus on improving radiochemical conversion, expanding substrate scope, and enabling scalability for remote-controlled radiotracer production.

Collagen VI is an extracellular matrix protein forming complex microfibrillar networks in connective tissues. Specifically, we focused on its role in innate immunity, in particular on cationic sequence motifs from the α3(VI)-chain, which exhibit strong antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in vivo. Cytotoxicity assays revealed minimal to no adverse effects, even at concentrations effective against bacterial pathogens.

The state of the art in the thermodynamics of calix[4]resorcinarene derivatives and its metal ion complexes is briefly discussed in the introduction. This is followed by the synthesis and characterization of a recyclable calix[4]resorcinarene amide derivative (L). The 1H NMR analyses in CD3CN and CD3OD showed solvent-dependent conformational changes with a notable downfield chemical shift in the aromatic proton (H-2) in moving from deuterated methanol to acetonitrile, indicating an interaction of the solvent within the ligand cavity as suggested by molecular dynamic simulations.

In this contribution, several Sn-β zeolites with variable Sn content and acid characteristics were prepared by regulated postsynthetic incorporation of Sn into predealuminated Beta zeolites and investigated in detail in terms of their surface properties, namely, using FTIR pyridine and deuterated acetonitrile, as well as XPS. The obtained zeolites were applied to the catalytic conversion of glucose in methanol to yield methyl lactate. Precise regulation of the tin amount (close to stoichiometric Si/Sn ratio) allowed us to obtain catalysts which afforded up to 63.

A practical and highly stereoselective approach for the synthesis of α-functionalized trifluoromethylated alkenes has been developed, enabling the incorporation of deuterium, halogen, or chalcogen atoms. The method accommodates a wide range of substrates and delivers the desired products in good yields with excellent selectivity. The reaction proceeds through a vinyl silver intermediate, formed AgF addition to -difluoroallenes.
