TL;DR: In this article, the three-vertex metallaborane [Ru(η-C5Me5)(PMe3)(η2-B2H7)] has been synthesised by reaction of [Ru (η -C5H5)2H( η 2-B 2H5)] with NaBH4.
Abstract: The novel three-vertex metallaborane [Ru(η–C5Me5)(PMe3)(η2-B2H7)](1) has been synthesised by reaction of [Ru(η-C5Me5)(PMe3)Cl2] with NaBH4; homologation is also observed in the reaction of [Mo(η-C5H5)2H2] with BH3·THF, which forms [Mo(η-C5H5)2H(η2-B2H5)](2); X-ray crystal structures of compounds (1) and (2) are reported.

TL;DR: The arachno -2-tungstametallaborane, [WH 3 (PMe 3 ) 3 B 3 H 8 [, has been made in high yield (>90%) by the reaction of the monoborane BH 3 ·THF (THF = tetrahydrofuran) with [WH 6(PMe3 ) 3 ]. This represents a controlled transition metal mediated synthesis of a higher borane moiety from a mononuclear precursor.

TL;DR: In this article, rare earth pyrochlores of general formula Ln2Sn2O7 (Ln = rare-earth) were found to be active catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane, with enhanced conversion to useful hydrocarbons, particularly ethene.
Abstract: Rare-earth pyrochlores of general formula Ln2Sn2O7(Ln = rare-earth) are found to be active catalysts for the oxidative coupling of methane, with enhanced conversion to useful hydrocarbons, particularly ethene, being observed at 1150 K for those rare-earths that exhibit mixed valence behaviour (Ln = Pr, Sm, Eu, Tb, Tm, and Yb).

TL;DR: In this article, the ansa-bridged metallocene dichlorides have been determined by X-ray diffraction and the crystal structures of these compounds have been discussed in terms of the modifications of the electronic structure as a consequence of the Ansa bridge.
Abstract: Reaction between [MCl4(dme)](M = W or Mo; dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) with Li2[C5H4CMe2C5H4] gave the ansa-bridged metallocene dichlorides [M{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Cl2](M = W or Mo). Treatment of these with LiAlH4 or ZnMe2 gave respectively the dihydrides [M{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}H2](M = W or Mo) and the dimethyl derivatives [M{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Me2](M = W or Mo). Treatment of [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Me2] with HX (X = PhCO2 or NH3l) gave [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Me(Y)] with Y = PhCO2 or l, respectively. Both of these react with Na[AlH2(OCH2CH2OMe)2] giving the methylhydride [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Me(H)]. The latter is thermally stable in refluxing benzene. Ultraviolet photolysis of [Mo{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}H2] in benzene gave the phenylhydride derivative [Mo{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Ph(H)]; the corresponding tungsten derivative [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}H2] is not photosensitive. The crystal structures of [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}Cl2], [W{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}H2], (two modifications) and [Mo{(η-C5H4)CMe2(η-C5H4)}H2] have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The ansa-bridged bis(η-cyclopentadienyl) compounds show marked differences in reactivity compared to non-ansa analogues and this is discussed in terms of the modifications of the electronic structure as a consequence of the ansa bridge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the synthesis of abundant single-shell tubes with diameters of about one nanometre, whereas the multi-shell nanotubes are formed on the carbon cathode.
Abstract: CARBON nanotubes1 are expected to have a wide variety of interesting properties. Capillarity in open tubes has already been demonstrated2–5, while predictions regarding their electronic structure6–8 and mechanical strength9 remain to be tested. To examine the properties of these structures, one needs tubes with well defined morphologies, length, thickness and a number of concentric shells; but the normal carbon-arc synthesis10,11 yields a range of tube types. In particular, most calculations have been concerned with single-shell tubes, whereas the carbon-arc synthesis produces almost entirely multi-shell tubes. Here we report the synthesis of abundant single-shell tubes with diameters of about one nanometre. Whereas the multi-shell nanotubes are formed on the carbon cathode, these single-shell tubes grow in the gas phase. Electron diffraction from a single tube allows us to confirm the helical arrangement of carbon hexagons deduced previously for multi-shell tubes1.

TL;DR: Although not yet providing compelling mechanical strength or electrical or thermal conductivities for many applications, CNT yarns and sheets already have promising performance for applications including supercapacitors, actuators, and lightweight electromagnetic shields.
Abstract: Worldwide commercial interest in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is reflected in a production capacity that presently exceeds several thousand tons per year. Currently, bulk CNT powders are incorporated in diverse commercial products ranging from rechargeable batteries, automotive parts, and sporting goods to boat hulls and water filters. Advances in CNT synthesis, purification, and chemical modification are enabling integration of CNTs in thin-film electronics and large-area coatings. Although not yet providing compelling mechanical strength or electrical or thermal conductivities for many applications, CNT yarns and sheets already have promising performance for applications including supercapacitors, actuators, and lightweight electromagnetic shields.

TL;DR: The features of nanoparticle therapeutics that distinguish them from previous anticancer therapies are highlighted, and how these features provide the potential for therapeutic effects that are not achievable with other modalities are described.
Abstract: Nanoparticles — particles in the size range 1–100 nm — are emerging as a class of therapeutics for cancer. Early clinical results suggest that nanoparticle therapeutics can
show enhanced efficacy, while simultaneously reducing side effects, owing to properties such as more targeted localization in tumours and active cellular uptake. Here, we
highlight the features of nanoparticle therapeutics that distinguish them from previous anticancer therapies, and describe how these features provide the potential for
therapeutic effects that are not achievable with other modalities. While large numbers of preclinical studies have been published, the emphasis here is placed on preclinical and clinical studies that are likely to affect clinical investigations and their implications for advancing the treatment of patients with cancer.
