Abstract Cu-thiosemicarbazones have been intensively investigated for their application in cancer therapy or as antimicrobials. Copper(II)-di-2-pyridylketone-4,4-dimethyl-thiosemicarbazone (CuII-Dp44mT) showed anticancer activity in the submicromolar concentration range in cell culture. The interaction of CuII-Dp44mT with thiols leading to their depletion or inhibition was proposed to be...[more]
Abstract Molecular triangles with competing Heisenberg interactions and significant Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions (DMI) exhibit high environmental sensitivity, making them potential candidates for active elements for quantum sensing. Additionally, these triangles exhibit magnetoelectric coupling, allowing their properties to be controlled using electric fields. However, the manipulation and...[more]
Abstract The design of enantiomerically pure circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) emitters would enormously benefit from the accurate and in-depth interpretation of the chiroptical properties by means of jointly (chiroptical) photophysical measurements and state-of-the-art theoretical investigation. Herein, computed and experimental (chiro-)optical properties of a series of eight enantiopure...[more]
Graphical Abstract: A metal-free porphyrin (TDPP) with a diphenylamino-Phenyl group is proposed as an electrode for aluminum-based batteries. The electrochemical performance is explored thoroughly. The extended porphyrin conjugated structure by the diphenylamino-phenyl groups shows a reversible capacity of 83 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 200 cycles and good cycling stability. Reference...[more]

Abstract We developed a chemoselective metal-free access for the 1,2- and 2,3-semireduction of CF3-N-allenamides. The enamide functionality of CF3-substituted N-allenamides could be efficiently reduced by Et3SiH/BF3·OEt2 in total regioselectivity and good stereoselectivity, whereas DBU promoted the isomerization of the resulting allyl amide leading exclusively to the E-configurated...[more]
Graphical Abstract Two for the price of one! Depending on the experimental conditions, two dramatically different diphosphanes can be obtained from diphenyl(2-phosphanylphenyl)phosphane and an α-cyclodextrin-derived dimesylate. The metal confining properties of the cavity-shaped ligands have been exploited to produce luminescent chelate [CuX(PP)] complexes (X=Cl, Br,...[more]
