<div>The use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer has received increasing attention overthe recent years. However, the application of the currently approved photosensitizers (PSs) is somehow limited by their poor aqueous solubility, aggregation, photobleaching and slow clearance from the body. To overcome these limitations, there is a need for the development of new classes of PSs with ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes currently gaining momentum. However, these compounds generally lack significant absorption in the biological spectral window, limiting their application to treat deep-seated or large tumors. To overcome this drawback, ruthenium(II) polypyridine complexes designed in silico with (E,E’)-4,4´-bisstyryl 2,2´-bipyridine ligands showed impressive 1- and 2-Photon absorption up to a magnitude higher than the ones published so far. While non-toxic in the dark, these compounds were found phototoxic in various 2D monolayer cells, 3D multicellular tumor spheroids and be able to eradicate a multiresistant tumor inside a mouse model upon clinically relevant 1-Photon and 2 Photon excitation.</div>

The field of catalytic C-H borylation has grown considerably since its founding, providing a means for the preparation of synthetically versatile organoborane products. While sp2 C-H borylation methods have found widespread and practical use in organic synthesis, the analogous sp3 C-H borylation reaction remains challenging and has seen limited application. Existing catalysts are often hindered by incomplete consumption of the diboron reagent, poor functional group tolerance, harsh reaction conditions, and the need for excess or neat substrate. These challenges acutely affect C-H borylation chemistry of unactivated hydrocarbon substrates, which has lagged in comparison to methods for the C-H borylation of activated compounds. Herein we discuss recent advances in sp3 C-H borylation of undirected substrates in the context of two particular challenges: (1) utilization of the diboron reagent and (2) the need for excess or neat substrate. Our recent work on the application of dipyridylarylmethane ligands in sp3 C-H borylation has allowed us to make contributions in this space and has presented an additional ligand scaffold to supplement traditional phenanthroline ligands.

The compound cis-Hg(SCN)2(Phen)2 belongs to the triclinic space group [Formula: see text] with a = 13.252(5), b = 11.077(4), c = 8.443(3) Å, α = 105.20(3), β = 83.25 (3), γ = 90.92(3)°, and Z = 2. The structure was solved by the heavy atom method and refined on 1718 independent reflections to an R factor of 0.069. The crystal contains discrete molecules, in which mercury is coordinated to four nitrogen atoms from two phenanthroline molecules and to two sulfur atoms from thiocyanate groups. These donor atoms define a distorted octahedral geometry around mercury. The Hg—N bond lengths are in the range 2.42(2)–2.52(2) Å, whereas the Hg—S bonds are equal to 2.622(8) and 2.582(8) Å. The molecules are packed in layers parallel to the (110) planes and the layers are held together by normal van der Waals interactions. Within the layers, the packing of the complex is characterized by parallel stacking of phenanthroline ligands at distances of ∼3.4 Å. The terminal nitrogen atoms of the thiocyanate groups are uncoordinated.
