Polymerized lipidic hemi-micellar rings formed around carbon nanotubes create robust and modular interfaces for metal species immobilization. These architectures preserve nanotube integrity and provide recyclable, high-performance catalytic systems.

A water-soluble Cu(II) compound promotes the denitrosylation of GSNO at room temperature and physiological pH. A reaction mechanism was proposed based on kinetic, spectroscopic, and spectrometric experiments, further supported by DFT calculations.

Five new promising antimalarial metallodrugs (M (Ag, Zn, and Cu)–atovaquone (ATV)) were obtained. These demonstrate potent antimalarial activity, selectivity, and tunable action phenotypes.

Coordination of axially chiral 1,1′-biisoquinoline-N,N′-dioxide ligands to lanthanide ions (Yb, Er) yield 8-coordinate D₂-symmetrical species exhibiting circularly polarized luminescence in the near-infrared region.

The Ni(II) compound showed higher activity (IC₅₀ = 380 nM) on T. gondii than sulfadiazine and was nontoxic to the host cell (selective index > 1800). TEM studies showed that the compound induces deformation in the parasite's conoid structure.

Rational architectural design of Tm³⁺-based core/(multi)shell nanoparticles co-doped with either Er³⁺ or Ho³⁺ allows for high-sensitivity temperature sensing in the NIR-IIc spectral region between 1500 and 2000 nm.

Stepwise mechanism of [Au(I)NHC]⁺ with HIV-NCp7 C-terminal ZF. The complex induces a proton transfer triggering the transmetallation, inhibiting activity.

Thermostable lanthanide(III) single-ion magnets enabling quantum information processing technologies and photonics.

Novel nickel complexes with dioxo-haloselenate anion act as cocatalysts for m-TiO₂, enhancing H₂ production through visible light absorption and photocatalytic activity.

We report a steered molecular dynamics (SMD) investigation into how substitution-inert polynuclear platinum complexes (SI-PPCs) influence the binding affinity between heparan sulphate (HS) and the enzyme heparanase.

Non-mutagenic ruthenium(II)–phosphine complexes stop tumor growth in MCF-7 3D spheroids and induce apoptosis via mitochondrial damage.

This study investigates CO photorelease using experimental and computational approaches, with organoselenium ligands featuring a free selenium moiety capable of stabilizing intermediates in situ.
