Targeted alpha therapy is an emerging innovative approach for the treatment of advanced cancers, in which targeting agents deliver radionuclides directly to tumors and metastases. The biological effects of α-radiation are still not fully understood - partly due to the lack of sufficiently accurate research methods. The range of α-particles is in vitro assays may underestimate α-radiation-specific radiation effects. In this report we focus on α-radiation-induced DNA lesions, DNA repair as well as cellular responses to DNA damage. Herein, we used Ra-223 to deliver α-particles to various tumor cells in a Transwell system. We evaluated the time and dose-dependent biological effects of α-radiation on several tumor cell lines by biological endpoints such as clonogenic survival, cell cycle distribution, comet assay, foci analysis for DNA damage, and calculated the absorbed dose by Monte-Carlo simulations. The radiobiological effects of Ra-223 in various tumor cell lines were evaluated using a novel in vitro assay designed to assess α-radiation-mediated effects. The α-radiation induced increasing levels of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) as detected by the formation of 53BP1 foci in a time- and dose-dependent manner in tumor cells. Short-term exposure (1–8 h) of different tumor cells to α-radiation was sufficient to double the number of cells in G2/M phase, reduced cell survival to 11–20% and also increased DNA fragmentation measured by tail intensity (from 1.4 to 3.9) dose-dependently. The α-particle component of Ra-223 radiation caused most of the Ra-223 radiation-induced biological effects such as DNA DSBs, cell cycle arrest and micronuclei formation, leading ultimately to cell death. The variable effects of α-radiation onto the different tumor cells demonstrated that tumor cells show diverse sensitivity towards damage caused by α-radiation. If these differences are caused by genetic alterations and if the sensitivity could be modulated by the use of DNA damage repair inhibitors remains a wide field for further investigations.

Inhalation of short-lived radon progeny is an important cause of lung cancer. To characterize the absorbed doses in the bronchial region of the airways due to inhaled radon progeny, mostly regional lung deposition models, like the Human Respiratory Tract Model (HRTM) of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, are used. However, in this model the site specificity of radiation burden in the airways due to deposition and fast airway clearance of radon progeny is not described. Therefore, in the present study, the Radact version of the stochastic lung model was used to quantify the cellular radiation dose distribution at airway generation level and to simulate the kinetics of the deposited radon progeny resulting from the moving mucus layer. All simulations were performed assuming an isotope ratio typical for an average dwelling, and breathing mode characteristic of a healthy adult sitting man. The study demonstrates that the cell nuclei receiving high doses are non-uniformly distributed within the bronchial airway generations. The results revealed that the maximum of the radiation burden is at the first few bronchial airway generations of the respiratory tract, where most of the lung carcinomas of former uranium miners were found. Based on the results of the present simulations, it can be stated that regional lung models may not be fully adequate to describe the radiation burden due to radon progeny. A more realistic and precise calculation of the absorbed doses from the decay of radon progeny to the lung requires deposition and clearance to be simulated by realistic models of airway generations.

At the tissue level, energy deposition in cells is determined by the microdistribution of alpha-emitting radionuclides in relation to sensitive target cells. Furthermore, the highly localized energy deposition of alpha particle tracks and the limited range of alpha particles in tissue produce a highly inhomogeneous energy deposition in traversed cell nuclei. Thus, energy deposition in cell nuclei in a given tissue is characterized by the probability of alpha particle hits and, in the case of a hit, by the energy deposited there. In classical microdosimetry, the randomness of energy deposition in cellular sites is described by a stochastic quantity, the specific energy, which approximates the macroscopic dose for a sufficiently large number of energy deposition events. Typical examples of the alpha-emitting radionuclides in internal microdosimetry are radon progeny and plutonium in the lungs, plutonium and americium in bones, and radium in targeted radionuclide therapy. Several microdosimetric approaches have been proposed to relate specific energy distributions to radiobiological effects, such as hit-related concepts, LET and track length-based models, effect-specific interpretations of specific energy distributions, such as the dual radiation action theory or the hit-size effectiveness function, and finally track structure models. Since microdosimetry characterizes only the initial step of energy deposition, microdosimetric concepts are most successful in exposure situations where biological effects are dominated by energy deposition, but not by subsequently operating biological mechanisms. Indeed, the simulation of the combined action of physical and biological factors may eventually require the application of track structure models at the nanometer scale.

- Abstract
Severe abdominal pain and vomiting are common symptoms in children with pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PIMS). Mesenteric lymphadenitis and aseptic peritonitis are predominantly reported in cases where acute surgical abdomen was suspected and laparotomy was performed at the early stage of the pandemic. These reports generally discouraged surgeons to perform exploration in COVID-19-related cases and medical management was prioritized. Only a few COVID-19-specific surgical cases with intestinal ischemia were published. Here, we report another case of COVID-19-related intestinal ischemia complicated with Meckel's diverticulitis in a non-immunocompromised child who clearly required surgical intervention. In our case, the combination of COVID-19-related vasculitis and low blood pressure episodes may have contributed to this severe outcome., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest None declared., (The Author(s).

The bridging MeCN ligand in the dicopper(I) complexes [(DPFN)Cu
2 (μ,η1 : η1 -MeCN)][X]2 (X=weakly coordinating anion, NTf2 (1 a), FAl[OC6 F10 (C6 F5 )]3 (1 b), Al[OC(CF3 )3 ]4 (1 c)) was replaced by white phosphorus (P4 ) or yellow arsenic (As4 ) to yield [(DPFN)Cu2 (μ,η2 : η2 -E4 )][X]2 (E=P (2 a-c), As (3 a-c)). The molecular structures in the solid state reveal novel coordination modes for E4 tetrahedra bonded to coinage metal ions. Experimental data and quantum chemical computations provide information concerning perturbations to the bonding in coordinated E4 tetrahedra. Reactions with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) led to replacement of the E4 tetrahedra with release of P4 or As4 and formation of [(DPFN)Cu2 (μ,η1 : η1 -Me NHC)][X]2 (4 a,b) or to an opening of one E-E bond leading to an unusual E4 butterfly structural motif in [(DPFN)Cu2 (μ,η1 : η1 -E4 Dipp NHC)][X]2 (E=P (5 a,b), E=As (6)). With a cyclic alkyl amino carbene (Et CAAC), cleavage of two As-As bonds was observed to give two isomers of [(DPFN)Cu2 (μ,η2 : η2 -As4 Et CAAC)][X]2 (7 a,b) with an unusual As4 -triangle+1 unit., (© 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Populations experiencing negligible predation pressure are expected to evolve higher behavioral activity. However, when sexes have different expected benefits from high activity, the adaptive shift is expected to be sex-specific. Here, we compared movement activity of one cave (lack of predation) and three adjacent surface (high and diverse predation) populations of Asellus aquaticus , a freshwater isopod known for its independent colonization of several caves across Europe. We predicted 1) higher activity in cave than in surface populations, with 2) the difference being more pronounced in males as they are known for active mate searching behavior, while females are not. Activity was assessed both in the presence and absence of light. Our results supported both predictions: movement activity was higher in the cave than in the surface populations, particularly in males. Relaxed predation pressure in the cave-adapted population is most likely the main selective factor behind increased behavioral activity, but we also showed that the extent of increase is sex-specific., (© The Author(s) 2022.

- Abstract
The oxidation of [(Cp'''Co)
2 (μ,η2 : η2 -E2 )2 ] (E=As (1), P (2); Cp'''=1,2,4-tri(tert-butyl)cyclopentadienyl) with halogens or halogen sources (I2 , PBr5 , PCl5 ) was investigated. For the arsenic derivative, the ionic compounds [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ,η4 : η4 -As4 X)][Y] (X=I, Y=[As6 I8 ]0.5 (3 a), Y=[Co2 Cl6-n In ]0.5 (n=0, 2, 4; 3 b); X=Br, Y=[Co2 Br6 ]0.5 (4); X=Cl, Y=[Co2 Cl6 ]0.5 (5)) were isolated. The oxidation of the phosphorus analogue 2 with bromine and chlorine sources yielded the ionic complexes [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ-PBr2 )2 (μ-Br)][Co2 Br6 ]0.5 (6 a), [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ-PCl2 )2 (μ-Cl)][Co2 Cl6 ]0.5 (6 b) and the neutral species [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ-PCl2 )(μ-PCl)(μ,η1 : η1 -P2 Cl3 ] (7), respectively. As an alternative approach, quenching of the dications [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ,η4 : η4 -E4 )][TEF]2 (TEF=[Al{OC(CF3 )3 }4 ]- , E=As (8), P (9)) with KI yielded [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ,η4 : η4 -As4 I)][I] (10), representing the homologue of 3, and the neutral complex [(Cp'''Co)(Cp'''CoI2 )(μ,η4 : η1 -P4 )] (11), respectively. The use of [(CH3 )4 N]F instead of KI leads to the formation of [(Cp'''Co)2 (μ-PF2 )(μ,η2 : η1 : η1 -P3 F2 )] (12) and 2, thereby revealing synthetic access to polyphosphorus compounds bearing P-F groups and avoiding the use of very strong fluorinating reagents, such as XeF2 , that are difficult to control., (© 2022 The Authors.

The effect of free radical scavenger dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the performance of transparent Fricke methylthymol blue dye (MTB)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chemical cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde (GTA) dosimeter (MTB-PVA-GTA) was studied and evaluated using two optical detection methods. By adding different concentrations of DMSO, the properties of the dosimeter were analyzed by ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectrometry and using 2-D optical imaging system based on a charge-coupled-device (CCD) camera with a diffusing red-light surface. The gel dosimeters were irradiated using 6, 10, and 15 MV photon beams of a medical linear accelerator at various dose rates. Linear absorbance-dose relationships was obtained in the range 0–10 Gy with DMSO ranging from 0 to 3000 mM. No significant changes to the dependence of the response on the dose rate (150, 300, and 600 cGy/min) and the photon energy (6, 10, and 15 MV photon beams) were observed by adding DMSO to the dosimeter. In general, increasing DMSO concentration reduced sensitivity, reduced diffusion coefficient, and enhanced the stability of the dosimeter. The addition of DMSO to the Fricke MTB-PVA-GTA dosimeter showed a good measured sensitivity and a significant low diffusion coefficient when compared with the values measured for other Fricke radiochromic dosimeters reported previously. This improved composition shows a lower diffusion coefficient with respect to those reported so far for a Fricke dosimeter with PVA and gelatin gel. The total uncertainty of the Fricke dosimeter were 4.6%.

There is experimental and histological evidence that chronic irritation and cell death may cause hyperplasia in the exposed tissue. As the heterogeneous deposition of inhaled radon progeny results in high local doses at the peak of the bronchial bifurcations, it was proposed earlier that hyperplasia occurs in these deposition hot spots upon chronic radon exposure. The objective of the present study is to quantify how the induction of basal cell hyperplasia modulates the microdosimetric consequences of a given radon exposure. For this purpose, numerical epithelium models were generated with spherical cell nuclei of six different cell types based on histological data. Basal cell hyperplasia was modelled by epithelium models with additional basal cells and increased epithelium thickness. Microdosimetry for alpha-particles was performed by an own-developed Monte-Carlo code. Results show that the average tissue dose, and the average hit number and dose of basal cells decrease by the increase of the measure of hyperplasia. Hit and dose distribution reveal that the induction of hyperplasia may result in a basal cell pool which is shielded from alpha radiation. It highlights that the exposure history affects the microdosimetric consequences of a present exposure, while the biological and health effects may also depend on previous exposures. The induction of hyperplasia can be considered as a radioadaptive response at the tissue level. Such an adaptation of the tissue challenges the validity of the application of the dose dose rate effectiveness factor from a mechanistic point of view. As the location of radiosensitive target cells may change due to previous exposures, dosimetry models considering the tissue geometry characteristic of normal conditions may be inappropriate for dose estimation in case of protracted exposures. As internal exposures are frequently chronic, such changes in tissue..., 13 pages, 5 figures, 1 table

Investigating the health effects of low doses of ionizing radiation is considered to be one of the most important fields in radiological protection research. Although the definition of low dose given by a dose range seems to be clear, it leaves some open questions. For example, the time frame and the target volume in which absorbed dose is measured have to be defined. While dose rate is considered in the current system of radiological protection, the same cancer risk is associated with all exposures, resulting in a given amount of energy absorbed by a single target cell or distributed among all the target cells of a given organ. However, the biological effects and so the health consequences of these extreme exposure scenarios are unlikely to be the same. Due to the heterogeneous deposition of radon progeny within the lungs, heterogeneous radiation exposure becomes a practical issue in radiological protection. While the macroscopic dose is still within the low dose range, local tissue doses on the order of Grays can be reached in the most exposed parts of the bronchial airways. It can be concluded that progress in low dose research needs not only low dose but also high dose experiments where small parts of a biological sample receive doses on the order of Grays, while the average dose over the whole sample remains low. A narrow interpretation of low dose research might exclude investigations with high relevance to radiological protection. Therefore, studies important to radiological protection should be performed in the frame of low dose research even if the applied doses do not fit in the dose range used for the definition of low doses.

A chemically cross-linked transparent hydrogel dosimeter is prepared with ferrous ammonium sulfate (FAS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 5-Sulfosalicylic acid (SSA), and cross-linking agent glutaraldehyde (GTA). The SSA-Ferrous-PVA-GTA dosimeter was irradiated to doses up to 40 Gy using a medical linear accelerator, and turned into pink with different intensity of colors. The dosimeter was evaluated using nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry (NMR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry techniques. It showed a linear dose-response up to 40 Gy in terms of absorbance as well as relaxation rate (R2). Dependence on dose rate and photon beam energy of the gel dosimeter were also investigated and found to be independent using both readout techniques. The dosimeter was stable after 8 h of irradiation. Other important key dosimetric parameters such as scanning temperature, post-irradiation, and overall uncertainty of SSA-Ferrous-PVA-GTA gel dosimeter were also measured and analyzed.

The iodination afforded the ionic complexes [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ,η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ,η1 :η1 :η1 :η1 -P3 I3 )][X] (X=I3 - , I- ) (2) and [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ,η4 :η4 -P4 )(μ-PI2 )][I3 ] (3), while the reaction with PBr5 led to the complexes [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ,η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ-Br)2 ][Cp*MoBr4 ] (4) [(Cp*MoBr)2 (μ,η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ,η1 -P2 Br3 )] (5) and [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ-PBr2 )(μ-PHBr)(μ-Br)2 ] (6). The reaction of 1 with the far stronger oxidizing agent PCl5 was followed via time- and temperature-dependent31 P{1 H} NMR spectroscopy. One of the first intermediates detected at 193 K was [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ,η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ-PCl2 )2 ][PCl6 ] (8) which rearranges upon warming to [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ-PCl2 )2 (μ-Cl)2 ] (9), [(Cp*MoCl)2 (μ,η3 :η3 -P3 )(μ-PCl2 )] (10) and [(Cp*Mo)2 (μ,η4 :η4 -P4 )(μ-PCl2 )][Cp*MoCl4 ] (11), which could be isolated at room temperature. All complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy and their electronic structures were elucidated by DFT calculations., (© 2022 The Authors.

International audience; MELODI (Multidisciplinary European Low Dose Initiative) is a European radiation protection research platform with focus on research on health risks after exposure to low-dose ionising radiation. It was founded in 2010 and currently includes 44 members from 18 countries. A major activity of MELODI is the continuous development of a long-term European Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) on low-dose risk for radiation protection. The SRA is intended to identify priorities for national and European radiation protection research programs as a basis for the preparation of competitive calls at the European level. Among those key priorities is the improvement of health risk estimates for exposures close to the dose limits for workers and to reference levels for the population in emergency situations. Another activity of MELODI is to ensure the availability of European key infrastructures for research activities, and the long-term maintenance of competences in radiation research via an integrated European approach for training and education. The MELODI SRA identifies three key research topics in low dose or low dose-rate radiation risk research (1) dose and dose rate dependence of cancer risk, (2) radiation-induced non-cancer effects and (3) individual radiation sensitivity. The research required to improve the evidence base for each of the three key topics relates to three research lines (1) research to improve understanding of the mechanisms contributing to radiogenic diseases, (2) epidemiological research to improve health risk evaluation of radiation exposure and (3) research to address the effects and risks associated with internal exposures, differing radiation qualities and inhomogeneous exposures. The full SRA and associated documents can be downloaded from the MELODI website (http//www.melodi-online.eu/sra.html). © 2017, The Author(s).

The importance of datasharing is of increasing concern to funding bodies and institutions. With some prescience, the radiobiology community has established datasharing infrastructures over the last two decades, including STORE; however, the utilization of these databases is disappointing. The aim of the present study was to identify the current state of datasharing amongst researchers in radiation protection, and to identify barriers to effective sharing. An electronic survey was prepared, including questions on post-publication data provision, institutional, funding agency, and journal policies, awareness of datasharing infrastructures, attitudinal barriers and technical support. The survey was sent to the members of a mailing list maintained by the EC funded CONCERT project. Responses identified that the radiation protection community shared similar concerns to other groups canvassed in earlier studies; the perceived negative impact of datasharing on competitiveness, career development and reputation, along with concern about the costs of data management. More surprising was the lack of awareness of existing datasharing platforms. We find that there is a clear need for education and training in data management and for a significant programme of improving awareness of Open Data issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Low dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) and induced radioresistance (IRR) can be observed in the dose dependence of survival of many different cell lines. While surviving fraction decreases exponentially in a large-scale view, a local minimum can be found at around 0.5 Gy. Although, there is evidence that the regulation of apoptosis and DNA repair are involved in HRS and IRR, the fundamental causes of the phenomena remain unclear. The objective of the present study is to test whether the principle of minimum mutation load can provide an explanation for both low dose HRS and IRR. For this purpose, a mathematical model was elaborated considering radiation induced mutagenic DNA lesions as well as cell divisions as sources of mutations. It was presumed that cell number is in dynamic equilibrium in the tissue, the number of mutations follows Poisson distribution, and its average is proportional to absorbed dose. For each value of absorbed dose, the minimum number of mutations were computed for different surviving fractions. Then that surviving fraction was plotted that results in the lowest number of mutations. One minimum or multiple minima can be seen in the dose dependence of surviving fractions with reasonable values for the model parameters: spontaneous and radiation induced mutation rate. Although the mechanisms remain unclear, the principle of minimum mutation load provides a potential explanation for low dose HRS and IRR and for the fact that they are mostly observed in cell lines with defected DNA repair.

A novel reactivity of [{Cp*Cr(CO)3}2(μ,η1:1−P4)] (Cp*=C5Me5; 1) is reported, which utilizes the selective cleavage of the two P−Cr bonds and subsequently initiates a substituent exchange yielding P4 butterfly compounds. By means of NMR and IR spectroscopy studies, the successful implementation of 1 to obtain [{Cp′′′Fe(CO)2}2(μ,η1:1−P4)] (Cp′′′=C5H2tBu3; 2) and Cp′′′2P4 (3) could be confirmed, by reacting 1 with 2.0 eq. of K[Cp′′′Fe(CO)2] or NaCp′′′, respectively. Hereby, a quantitative conversion could be detected alongside the formation of 2.0 eq. of the [Cp*Cr(CO)3]− anion. Moreover, various syntheses of novel organometallic and organo‐P4 butterfly compounds were examined and first results show that the generation of different compounds should be possible. However, the isolation and stabilization of these sensitive molecules proves to be a major challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Heterogenization of molecular catalysts via their immobilization within extended structures often results in a lowering of their catalytic properties due to a change in their coordination sphere. Metal-organic polyhedra (MOP) are an emerging class of well-defined hybrid compounds with a high number of accessible metal sites organized around an inner cavity, making them appealing candidates for catalytic applications. Here, we demonstrate a design strategy that enhances the catalytic properties of dirhodium paddlewheels heterogenized within MOP (Rh-MOP) and their three-dimensional assembled supramolecular structures, which proved to be very efficient catalysts for the selective photochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formic acid. Surprisingly, the catalytic activity per Rh atom is higher in the supramolecular structures than in its molecular sub-unit Rh-MOP or in the Rh-metal-organic framework (Rh-MOF) and yields turnover frequencies of up to 60 h
-1 and production rates of approx. 76 mmole formic acid per gram of the catalyst per hour, unprecedented in heterogeneous photocatalysis. The enhanced catalytic activity is investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical characterization, showing that self-assembly into supramolecular polymers increases the electron density on the active site, making the overall reaction thermodynamically more favorable. The catalyst can be recycled without loss of activity and with no change of its molecular structure as shown by pair distribution function analysis. These results demonstrate the high potential of MOP as catalysts for the photoreduction of CO2 and open a new perspective for the electronic design of discrete molecular architectures with accessible metal sites for the production of solar fuels.- Published

- Abstract
The reactivity of Cp*
4 Sb4 (1) towards ionic compounds and transition metal complexes with labile ligands was investigated in order to synthesize polyantimony ligand complexes. The silver salts [Ag][X] and the metalate Na[Cp*Mo(CO)3 ] were primarily used, leading in the raction with Cp*4 Sb4 to the formation of [Cp*2 Sb][X] (X = TEF (2a), FAL (2b)), [(Cp*Mo(CO)3 )3 (μ3 -Sb3 )] (3) and [Cp*Mo(CO)2 (η3 -Sb3 )] (4), respectively. The reaction of 1 with the transition metal complexes [(Cp'''M)2 (tol)] leads to a degradation of the original Sb4 unit and to the formation of [(Cp'''M)4 (μ3 -Sb)4 ] (M = Ni (5); Co (6)). Towards [CpR Fe(CO)2 ]2 , substitutions on the antimony atoms were observed to give [{CpR Fe(CO)2 }4 (μ4 -Sb4 )] (CpR = Cp'' (7a), Cp''' (7b)). All complexes were characterized by XRD and spectroscopic methods.- Published

181. Parallel morphological evolution and habitat-dependent sexual dimorphism in cave- vs. surface populations of the Asellus aquaticus (Crustacea: Isopoda: Asellidae) species complex.

- Abstract
Studying parallel evolution (repeated, independent evolution of similar phenotypes in similar environments) is a powerful tool to understand environment-dependent selective forces. Surface-dwelling species that repeatedly and independently colonized caves provide unique models for such studies. The primarily surface-dwelling Asellus aquaticus species complex is a good candidate to carry out such research, because it colonized several caves in Europe. By comparing 17 functional morphological traits between six cave and nine surface populations of the A. aquaticus species complex, we investigated population divergence in morphology and sexual dimorphism. We found habitat-dependent population divergence in 10 out of 17 traits, likely reflecting habitat-driven changes in selection acting on sensory systems, feeding, grooming, and antipredator mechanisms. Sexual dimorphism was present in 15 traits, explained by sexual selection acting on male traits important in male-male agonistic behavior or mate guarding and fecundity selection acting on female traits affecting offspring number and nursing. In eight traits, the degree of sexual dimorphism was habitat dependent. We conclude that cave-related morphological changes are highly trait- and function-specific and that the strength of sexual/fecundity selection strongly differs between cave and surface habitats. The considerable population variation within habitat type warrants further studies to reveal cave-specific adaptations besides the parallel patterns., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest., (© 2021 The Authors.

- Abstract
The reactivity of the tetrahedral dipnictogen complexes [{CpMo(CO)
2 }2 (μ,η2 :η2 -EE')] (E, E' = P, As, Sb, Bi; " Mo2 EE' ") towards different one-electron oxidation agents is reported. Oxidation with [Thia][TEF] (Thia+ = C12 H8 S2 + ; TEF- = Al{OC(CF3 )3 }4 - ) leads to the selective formation of the radical monocations [Mo2 EE']˙+ , which immediately dimerize to the unprecedented dicationic E2 E'2 ligand complexes [{CpMo(CO)2 }4 (μ4 ,η2 :η2 :η2 :η2 -E'EEE')]2+ via E-E bond formation. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that, in the case of Mo2 PAs and Mo2 PSb , P-P bond formation occurs yielding zigzag E2 P2 (E = As ( 1 ), Sb ( 2 )) chains, whereas Mo2 SbBi forms a Sb2 Bi2 ( 5 ) cage, Mo2 AsSb an unprecedented As2 Sb2 unit representing an intermediate stage between a chain- and a cage-type structure, and Mo2 AsBi a novel planar As2 Bi2 ( 4a ) cycle. Therefore, 1-5 bear the first substituent-free, dicationic hetero-E4 ligands, stabilized by transition metal fragments. Furthermore, in the case of Mo2 AsSb , the exchange of the counterion causes changes in the molecular structure yielding an unusual, cyclic As2 Sb2 ligand. The experimental results are corroborated by DFT calculations., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts to declare., (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)- Published

- Abstract
The synthesis of phosphines is based on white phosphorus, which is usually converted to PCl
3 , to be afterwards substituted step by step in a non-atomic efficient manner. Herein, we describe an alternative efficient transition metal-mediated process to form asymmetrically substituted phosphines directly from white phosphorus (P4 ). Thereby, P4 is converted to [Cp*Fe(η5 -P5 )] (1) (Cp* = η5 -C5 (CH3 )5 ) in which one of the phosphorus atoms is selectively functionalized to the 1,1-diorgano-substituted complex [Cp*Fe(η4 -P5 R'R″)] (3). In a subsequent step, the phosphine PR'R″R‴ (R' ≠ R″ ≠ R‴ = alky, aryl) (4) is released by reacting it with a nucleophile R‴M (M = alkali metal) as racemates. The starting material 1 can be regenerated with P4 and can be reused in multiple reaction cycles without isolation of the intermediates, and only the phosphine is distilled off., (© 2021.

- Abstract
The functionalization of pentaphosphaferrocene [Cp*Fe(η
5 -P5 )] ( 1 ) with cationic group 13-17 electrophiles is shown to be a general synthetic strategy towards P-E bond formation of unprecedented diversity. The products of these reactions are dinuclear [{Cp*Fe}2 {μ,η5:5 -(P5 )2 EX2 }][TEF] (EX2 = BBr2 ( 2 ), GaI2 ( 3 ), [TEF]- = [Al{OC(CF3 )3 }4 ]- ) or mononuclear [Cp*Fe(η5 -P5 E)][X] (E = CH2 Ph ( 4 ), CHPh2 ( 5 ), SiHPh2 ( 6 ), AsCy2 ( 7 ), SePh ( 9 ), TeMes ( 10 ), Cl ( 11 ), Br ( 12 ), I ( 13 )) complexes of hetero-bis-pentaphosphole (( cyclo -P5 )2 R) or hetero-pentaphosphole ligands ( cyclo -P5 R), the aromatic all-phosphorus analogs of prototypical cyclopentadienes. Further, modifying the steric and electronic properties of the electrophile has a drastic impact on its reactivity and leads to the formation of [Cp*Fe(μ,η5:2 -P5 )SbICp'''][TEF] ( 8 ) which possesses a triple-decker-like structure. X-ray crystallographic characterization reveals the slightly twisted conformation of the cyclo -P5 R ligands in these compounds and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy confirms their integrity in solution. DFT calculations shed light on the bonding situation of these compounds and confirm the aromatic character of the pentaphosphole ligands on a journey across the p-block., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts to declare., (This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.)- Published

- Abstract
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT-3) gain-of-function (GOF) syndrome is an early-onset monogenic inborn error of immunity characterized by multi-organ autoimmune disorders, growth failure and lymphoproliferation. We describe that STAT-3 GOF syndrome may be presented with hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections. In addition, the patient had lymphoproliferation, short stature and interstitial lung disease. Chest computerized tomography examinations showed mild bronchiectasis with areas of non-fibrosing alveolar-interstitial disease and maldevelopment of bilateral first ribs. Using Sanger sequencing, we revealed a novel c.508G>C, p.D170H STAT-3 variant affecting the coiled coil domain of STAT-3. Functional studies confirmed that p.D170H was a GOF variant, as shown by increased phosphorylated STAT-3 (pSTAT-3) and STAT-3 transcriptional activity. Our observation suggests that STAT-3 GOF syndrome can manifest in early childhood with hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent severe respiratory tract infections. We suggest that patients with lymphoproliferation, hypogammaglobulinemia and severe recurrent infections should be screened for STAT-3 variants, even if autoimmune manifestations are missing., (© 2021 The Authors.

- Abstract
The use of [Cp''
2 Zr(η1:1 -E4 )] (E=P (1 a), As (1 b), Cp''=1,3-di-tert-butyl-cyclopentadienyl) as phosphorus or arsenic source, respectively, gives access to novel stable polypnictogen transition metal complexes at ambient temperatures. The reaction of 1 a/1 b with [CpR NiBr]2 (CpR =CpBn (1,2,3,4,5-pentabenzyl-cyclopentadienyl), Cp''' (1,2,4-tri-tert-butyl-cyclopentadienyl)) was studied, to yield novel complexes depending on steric effects and stoichiometric ratios. Besides the transfer of the complete En unit, a degradation as well as aggregation can be observed. Thus, the prismane derivatives [(Cp'''Ni)2 (μ,η3:3 -E4 )] (2 a (E=P); 2 b (E=As)) or the arsenic containing cubane [(Cp'''Ni)3 (μ3 -As)(As4 )] (5) are formed. Furthermore, the bromine bridged cubanes of the type [(CpR Ni)3 {Ni(μ-Br)}(μ3 -E)4 ]2 (CpR =Cp''': 6 a (E=P), 6 b (E=As), CpR =CpBn : 8 a (E=P), 8 b (E=As)) can be isolated. Here, a stepwise transfer of En units is possible, with a cyclo-E4 2- ligand being introduced and unprecedented triple-decker compounds of the type [{(CpR Ni)3 Ni(μ3 -E)4 }2 (μ,η4:4 -E'4 )] (CpR =CpBn , Cp'''; E/E'=P, As) are obtained., (© 2021 The Authors.

- Abstract
The reactions of the cyclo-As
5 complex [Cp*Fe(η5 -As5 )] (B) with the AgI and CuI salts of the weakly coordinating anion (WCA) [FAl{OC6 F10 (C6 F5 )}3 ]- ([FAl]- ) are studied. These reactions allow the synthesis of the mononuclear complexes [M(η5 : η2 -B)2 ][FAl] (M=Ag (1), Cu (2)) when a ratio of B/M(FAl) 2 : 1 is used. Compound 1 shows an unusual disorder of the central AgI cation between two π-coordinating cyclo-As5 ligands, which is absent in 2 pointing to a weak interaction of the Ag center towards the cyclo-As5 ligands in B. When the ratio of B/Ag(FAl) is changed to 3 : 1 or 1 : 1, the respective coordination compounds [Ag(η2 -B)3 ][FAl] (3) and [Ag2 (η2 : η2 -B)2 ][FAl]2 (4) are accessible. The coordination modes of the cyclo-As5 units in 1, 3 and 4 are all different, reflecting the adaptive coordination behavior of B towards AgI ions. The optimized geometries in the gas phase of 1-4 are determined by DFT calculations to support the bonding situation observed in their solid-state structures., (© 2021 The Authors.

A synthetic pathway for the synthesis of novel anionic sandwich complexes with a cyclo-E

In the reaction with the chlorophosphanes R2 PCl (R=Ph, Cy,t Bu), neutral complexes with a disubstituted cyclo-E3 P (E=P, As) ligand in [Cp'''Co(η3 -E3 PR2 )] (E=P (7 a-c), As (9 a-c)) were obtained. These compounds can be partially or completely converted into complexes with a cyclo-E3 (E=P, As) ligand with an exocyclic {PR2 } unit in [Cp'''Co(η2 :η1 -E3 PR2 )] (E=P (8 a-c), As (10 a-c)). Additionally, the insertion of the chlorosilylene [LSiCl] (L=(t BuN)2 CPh) into the cyclo-E3 ligand of [5] and [6] was achieved and the novel heteroatomic complexes [Cp'''Co(η3 -E3 SiL)] (E=P (11), As (12)) could be isolated.
