RÉSUMÉ
Homoleptic complexes adopting octahedral coordination modes are usually less active in catalysis due to the saturated coordination around metal centers that prevents substrate activation in a catalytic event. In this work, we demonstrated that a homoleptic octahedral cobalt complex (1) of 4'-pyridyl-2,2';6',2''-terpyridine that experienced monoprotonation at the non-coordinating pyridyl moiety upon crystallization could serve as a highly efficient precatalyst for the hydroboration of styrene derivatives with Markovnikov selectivity. The solid-state structure of this precatalyst along with relevant homoleptic CoII and FeII complexes has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, 1 features one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains that are further stacked by interchain πâ¯π interactions. The newly synthesized complexes (1-3) along with several known analogues (4-6) were examined as precatalysts for the hydroboration of alkenes. The best-performing system, 1/KOtBu was found to promote Markovnikov hydroboration of substituted styrenes with high turnover frequencies (TOFs) up to â¼47 000 h-1, comparable to the most efficient polymeric catalyst [Co(pytpy)Cl2]n reported to date. Although some limitations in substrate scope as well as functional group tolerance exist, the catalyst shows good promise for several relevant hydrofunctionaliation reactions.

RÉSUMÉ
Background: Lung metastases (LM) have a poor prognosis of osteosarcoma. This study aimed to predict the risk of LM using the nomogram in patients with osteosarcoma. Methods: A total of 1100 patients who were diagnosed as osteosarcoma between 2010 and 2019 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were selected as the training cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors of osteosarcoma lung metastases. 108 osteosarcoma patients from a multicentre dataset was as valiation data. The predictive power of the nomogram model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) and calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was utilized to interpret the accurate validity in clinical practice. Results: A total of 1208 patients with osteosarcoma from both the SEER database(n=1100) and the multicentre database (n=108) were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that Survival time, Sex, T-stage, N-stage, Surgery, Radiation, and Bone metastases were independent risk factors for lung metastasis. We combined these factors to construct a nomogram for estimating the risk of lung metastasis. Internal and external validation showed significant predictive differences (AUC 0.779, 0.792 respectively). Calibration plots showed good performance of the nomogram model. Conclusions: In this study, a nomogram model for predicting the risk of lung metastases in osteosarcoma patients was constructed and turned out to be accurate and reliable through internal and external validation. Moreover we built a webpage calculator (https://drliwenle.shinyapps.io/OSLM/) taken into account nomogram model to help clinicians make more accurate and personalized predictions.
RÉSUMÉ
An ionic metal-organic-framework (MOF) containing nanoscale channels was readily assembled from ditopic 4'-pyridyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (pytpy) and a simple iron(ii) salt. X-ray structural analysis revealed a two-dimensional grid-like framework assembled by classic octahedral (pytpy)2FeII cations as linkers (with pytpy as a new ditopic pyridyl ligand) and octa-coordinate FeCl2 centers as nodes. The layer-by-layer assembly of the 2-D framework resulted in the formation of 3-D porous materials consisting of nano-scale channels. The charges of the cationic framework were balanced with anionic Cl3FeOFeCl3 in its void channels. The new Fe-based MOF material was employed as a precatalyst for syn-selective hydroboration of alkynes under mild, solvent-free conditions in the presence of an activator, leading to the synthesis of a range of trans-alkenylboronates in good yields. The larger scale applicability and recyclability of the new MOF catalyst was further explored. This represents a rare example of an ionic MOF material that can be utilized in hydroboration catalysis.
RÉSUMÉ
Synthesis of branched "Markovnikov" alcohols is crucial to various chemical industries. The catalytic reduction of substituted epoxides under mild conditions is a highly attractive method for preparing such alcohols. Classical methods based on heterogeneous or homogeneous transition metal-catalyzed hydrogenation, hydroboration, or hydrosilylation usually suffer from poor selectivity, reverse regioselectivity, limited functional group compatibility, high cost, and/or low availability of the catalysts. Here we report the discovery of highly regioselective hydroboration of nonsymmetrical epoxides catalyzed by ligated archetypal reductants in organic chemistry â alkali metal triethylborohydrides. The chemoselectivity and turnover efficiencies of the present catalytic approach are excellent. Thus, terminal and internal epoxides with ene, yne, aryl, and halo groups were selectively and quantitatively reduced under a substrate-to-catalyst ratio (S/C) of up to 1000. Mechanistic investigations point to a mechanism reminiscent of frustrated Lewis pair action on substrates in which a nucleophile and Lewis acid act cooperatively on the substrate.

Reductive catalysis with earth-abundant metals is currently of increasing importance and shows potential in replacing precious metal catalysis. In this work, we revealed catalytic hydroboration and hydrosilylation of ketones and aldehydes achieved by a structurally defined manganese(ii) coordination polymer (CP) as a precatalyst under mild conditions. The manganese-catalysed methodology can be applied to a range of functionalized aldehydes and ketones with turnover numbers (TON) of up to 990. Preliminary results on the regioselective catalytic hydrofunctionalization of styrenes by the Mn-CP catalyst are also presented.
RÉSUMÉ
A variety of substituted acridones were synthesized via a one-pot, metal-free cascade reaction. In this event, the DBU-mediated addition between quinols and ortho-methoxycarbonylaryl isocyanates formed a bicyclic oxazolidinone, followed by a sequence of intramolecular condensation, tautomerization, and decarboxylation, which led to the formation of acridones. The acridones showed mild activity against the human cytomegalovirus.

Catalysis is the second largest application for V after its use as an additive to improve steel production. Molecular complexes of vanadium(V) are particularly useful and efficient catalysts for oxidation processes; however, their ability to catalyze reductive transformations has yet to be fully explored. Here we report the first examples of polar organic functionality reduction mediated by V. Open-shell VIII complexes that feature a π-radical monoanionic 2,2':6',2â³-terpyridine ligand (Rtpyâ¢)- functionalized at the 4'-position (R = (CH3)3SiCH2, C6H5) catalyze mild and chemoselective hydroboration and hydrosilylation of functionalized ketones, aldehydes, imines, esters, and carboxamides with turnover numbers (TONs) of up to â¼1000 and turnover frequencies (TOFs) of up to â¼500 h-1. Computational evaluation of the precatalyst synthesis and activation has revealed underappreciated complexity associated with the redox-active tpy chelate.
RÉSUMÉ
A novel nonanuclear copper(II) complex obtained by a facile one-pot self-assembly was found to catalyze the hydroboration of ketones and aldehydes with the absence of an activator under mild, solvent-free conditions. The catalyst is air- and moisture-stable, displaying high efficiency (1980 h-1 turnover frequency, TOF) and chemoselectivity on aldehydes over ketones and ketones over imines. This represents a rare example of divalent copper catalyst for the hydroboration of carbonyls.

Although a range of nanoparticles have been developed as drug delivery systems in cancer therapeutics, this approach faces several important challenges concerning nanocarrier circulation, clearance, and penetration. The impact of reducing nanoparticle size on penetration through leaky blood vessels around tumor microenvironments via enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has been extensively examined. Recent research has also investigated the effect of nanoparticle shape on circulation and target binding affinity. However, how nanoparticle shape affects drug release and therapeutic efficacy has not been previously explored. Here, we compared the drug release and efficacy of iron oxide nanoparticles possessing either a cage shape (IO-NCage) or a solid spherical shape (IO-NSP). Riluzole cytotoxicity against metastatic cancer cells was enhanced 3-fold with IO-NCage. The shape of nanoparticles (or nanocages) affected the drug release point and cellular internalization, which in turn influenced drug efficacy. Our study provides evidence that the shape of iron oxide nanoparticles has a significant impact on drug release and efficacy.

Well-defined manganese complexes based on inexpensive, readily available ligands, 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and its derivatives have been prepared and employed for the selective hydroboration of alkenes, ketones and aldehydes. Highly Markovnikov regioselective hydroboration of styrenes as well as excellent chemoselective hydroboration of ketones over alkenes were achieved, for the first time, by an earth-abundant manganese catalyst.
RÉSUMÉ
A well-defined nonprecious metal cobalt(II) catalyst based on a pincer PNP ligand has been employed for the efficient N-alkylation of both aromatic and aliphatic amines with alcohols. A subtle change of reaction conditions (simply adding 4 Å molecular sieves) was observed to readily switch the resulting products (amines vs imines) with high chemoselectivity. A range of alcohols and amines including both aromatic and aliphatic substrates were efficiently converted to secondary amines in good-to-excellent yields when 2 mol % cobalt catalyst was used. Additional experiments indicate that a hydrogen-borrowing mechanism is responsible for the tandem acceptorless dehydrogenation/condensation/hydrogenation process.

Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) and false jaboticaba (Myrciaria vexator) fruits are two pleasant-tasting, dark-colored fruits, native to Brazil. They are rich sources of phenolic compounds, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and tannins, as well as less well known polyphenols such as depsides. These two fruits are very similar in morphology, but their taste profiles differ markedly. This study was focused on identifying the marker compounds between them using HPLC-PDA and LC-TOF-MS, combined with principal component analysis. As a result, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside was found as the major anthocyanin in Myrciaria fruits. Delphinidin-3-O-glucoside was found to be the marker compound for jaboticaba, while cyanidin-3-O-galactoside and cyanidin-3-O-arabinose were two marker compounds distinguishing false jaboticaba. In addition, two ellagitannins, iso-oenothein C and oenothein C, were isolated and identified from both of these fruits for the first time. Jaboticabin, a minor bioactive depside, occurred in both fruits and, because of its potential to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was successfully synthesized in the laboratory.
