TL;DR: In this paper, an expedient route toward the synthesis of 4-hydroxyquinolone grafted spiropyrrolidines or pyrrolizidines has been accomplished through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of various azomethine ylides derived from isatin or acenaphthalene and sarcosine.

TL;DR: Ten cationic heteroleptic iridium(III) complexes were prepared from a cyclometalated iridium bridged-chloride dimer involving two ethyl-4-methylphenylthiazole-5-carboxylate (emptz) ligands, showing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry at Ir(III).

TL;DR: Topological analysis of electron densities derived from high-resolution X-ray diffraction shows no direct metal-metal bonding in either compound, while the total energy density at the bond critical points suggests stronger metal-oxygen interactions for the Ni system, in correspondence with its shorter bond distances.

TL;DR: In this paper, an n(amido,RNH)- → π* (dppz) inter-ligand charge transfer band with an extraordinarily low energy charge separating absorption with potential for imaging and energy application was proposed.

TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations of three possible adducts of Fe(II) to the N-terminal 1–16 fragments of the amyloid-β peptide are reported, along with analogous simulations of Cu (II) and Zn(II), indicating similarity of four-coordinate Cu and ZN complexes, compared to five-coordinated Fe complex that exhibits lower stability and weaker metal–ligand bonding.
