Abstract
Since the finding of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NFS) in patients with renal impairment and the long-term accumulation of Gd(III) ions in the central nervous system, the search for nongadolinium ion-based MRI contrast agents made of nutrient metal ions has drawn paramount attention. In this context, the development of Mn(II)-based MRI contrast agents has been a subject of interest for the last few decades. Herein, we report a pentadentate ligand (Li2[BenzPic2]) composed of two picolinate moieties and a rigid 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline unit and the corresponding bis(aquated) Mn(II) complex (Complex 1). The complex exhibited high thermodynamic stability (log Kcond = 11.62) and kinetic inertness similar to that of the clinically approved Gd(III)-based contrast agent Magnevist. Complex 1 exerted longitudinal relaxivity (r1) of 5.32 mM-1 s-1 at 1.41 T, 37 °C, pH 7.4, and it increased by 3.6-fold in the presence of serum albumin protein, confirming a substantial rigidifying interaction (albumin association constant KA = 1.66 × 103 M-1) between the protein and the amphiphilic (log P = -0.45) contrast agent. An intravenous dose of 0.08 mmol/kg in a healthy mouse, excellent MRI signal intensity enhancement in the vasculature of the mouse liver, and brightened images of the gallbladder, kidney, and liver were realized.

Abstract
This concept delves into quantum particle transport at the nanoscale, with a particular focus on how electrons move through molecular circuits. The thriving field of single molecular electronics benefits from the unique electrical and other properties of nanostructures. It concentrates on single molecular junctions that serve as bridges between electrodes. In this context, the electronic correlation-induced many-body effect gives rise to resonant states. These states, along with conductance, depend on electron spin. Thus, the field acts as a bridge between quantum and macroscopic worlds, unveiling unique behaviors of electrons. Additionally, external factors, such as magnetic fields and voltages, offer means to control the electron correlation in these junctions.

Abstract
The interaction between pyridines and the π-hole of BeH2 leads to the formation of strong beryllium-bonded complexes. Theoretical investigations demonstrate that the Be-N bonding interaction can effectively regulate the electronic current through a molecular junction. The electronic conductance exhibits distinct switching behavior depending on the substituent groups at the para position of pyridine, highlighting the role of Be-N interaction as a potent chemical gate in the proposed device. The complexes exhibit short intermolecular distances ranging from 1.724 to 1.752 Å, emphasizing their strong binding. Detailed analysis of electronic rearrangements and geometric perturbations upon complex formation provides insights into the underlying reasons for the formation of such strong Be-N bonds, with bond strengths varying from -116.25 to -92.96 kJ/mol. Moreover, the influence of chemical substituents on the local electronic transmission of the beryllium-bonded complex offers valuable insights for the implementation of a secondary chemical gate in single-molecule devices. This study paves the way for the development of chemically gateable, functional single-molecule transistors, advancing the design and fabrication of multifunctional single-molecule devices in the nanoscale regime.

Abstract
An elusive aminyl radical and an iminosemiquinone radical-coordinated square pyramidal Cu(ii) complex (1) have been isolated by the reaction between the noninnocent ligand H4LPy(AP) and Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O in the presence of Et3N and air as the sole oxidant. The geometry and electronic structure of the complex were concluded by X-ray crystallography, magnetic and EPR measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This work reports the first crystallographic example of the two different types of radicals co-existing in a stable complex.

Abstract
Ligand H2LAP comprises a non-innocent 2-aminophenol unit and an innocent bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine unit. The ligand, upon reaction with an equivalent amount of Mn(ClO4)2·6H2O in the presence of Et3N under air in MeOH, provided a mono(oxo)-bridged dinuclear Mn2 complex ({[(LISQ)MnIII-O-MnIII(LISQ)][(ClO4)]2}; 1). X-ray crystal structure analysis of complex 1 revealed that in the dicationic unit, the physical oxidation state of each Mn ion was +III and the 2-aminophenol unit of ligand H2LAP was in its one-electron oxidized iminobenzosemiquinone form. 1H-NMR measurement of complex 1 confirmed that the complex acquired a diamagnetic ground state (St = 0). Thus, antiferromagnetic couplings among the paramagnetic centers were realized. The UV-Vis-NIR spectrum of complex 1 was consisted of ligand-to-metal charge-transfer transitions in the visible region, while ligand-to-metal and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions were noticed in the near-infrared region due to the presence of iminobenzosemiquinone radical units. The cyclic voltammogram of the complex showed three one-electron oxidation waves and two one-electron reduction waves. While the first two oxidation processes were metal-based, the two successive reductions were ligand-centered. DFT-based theoretical studies confirmed the assignment.

Abstract
The atomic-scale technological sophistication from the last half-decade provides new avenues for the atom-by-atom fabrication of nanostructures with extraordinary precision. This urges the appraisal of the fabrication scheme layout for a modular nanoelectronic device based on an individual molecular complex. The mechanical force-induced distortion to the metal coordination sphere triggers a low-spin (LS) to high-spin (HS) electronic transition in the complex. The controlled structural distortions (relative to a specific bond-angle) are deemed to be the switching parameter for the observed spin-transitions. Mechanical stretching is the key to engineering a spin-state switch in the proposed molecular device. The spin-dependent reversible variation in the electronic conductance concurrent to the unique spin-states can be understood from the state-of-the-art Nonequilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) calculations. Combined with NEGF calculations, the DFT study further provides a qualitative perception of the electronic conductance in the two-terminal device architecture. From the transport calculations, there is also evidence of considerable fluctuation in the spin-dependent electronic conductance at the molecular junction with relative variations in the scattering limit. Subsequently, the present study shows significant advances in the transmission probabilities for the high-spin state of the Fe(ii) complex. The results empower the progress of nanoelectronics at the single molecule level.

Abstract
Portable, low-cost smartphone platform microscopic systems have emerged as a potential tool for imaging of various micron and submicron scale particles in recent years (Ozcan; Pirnstill and Coté; Breslauer et al.; Zhu et al.). In most of the reported works, it involves either the use of sophisticated optical set-ups along with a high-end computational tool for postprocessing of the captured images, or it requires a high-end configured smartphone to obtain enhanced imaging of the sample. Present work reports the working of a low-cost, field-portable 520× optical microscope using a smartphone. The proposed smartphone microscopic system has been designed by attaching a 3D printed compact optical set-up to the rear camera of a regular smartphone. By using cloud-based services, an image processing algorithm has been developed which can be accessed anytime through a mobile broadband network. Using this facility, the quality of the captured images can be further enhanced, thus obviating the need for dedicated computational tools for postprocessing of the images. With the designed microscopic system, an optical resolution ∼2 µm has been obtained. Upon postprocessing, the resolution of the captured images can be improved further. It is envisioned that with properly designed optical set-up in 3D printer and by developing an image processing application in the cloud, it is possible to obtain a low-cost, user-friendly, field-portable optical microscope on a regular smartphone that performs at par with that of a laboratory-grade microscope. LAY DESCRIPTION: With the ever-improving features both in hardware and software part, smartphone becomes ubiquitous in the modern civilised society with approximately 8.1 billion cell phone users across the world, and ∼40% of them can be considered as smartphones. This technology is undoubtedly the leading technology of the 21st century. Very recently, various researchers across the globe have utilised different sensing components embedded in the smartphone to convert it into a field-portable low-cost and user-friendly tool which can be used for different sensing and imaging purposes. By using simple optical components such as lens, pinhole, diffuser etc. and the camera of the smartphone, various groups have converted the phone into a microscopic imaging system. Again, by removing the camera lenses of the phone, holography images of microscopic particles by directly casting its shadows on the CMOS sensor on the phone has been demonstrated. The holographic images have subsequently been processed using the dedicated computational tool, and the original photos of the samples can be obtained. All the reported smartphone-based microscopic systems either suffer from relatively low field-of-view (FOV), resolution or it needs a high computational platform. Present work, demonstrate an alternative approach by which a reasonably good resolution (<2 µm) along with high optical magnification (520×) and a large FOV (150 µm) has been obtained on a regular smartphone. For postprocessing of the captured images an image processing algorithm has been developed in the cloud and the same can be accessed by the smartphone application, obviating the need of dedicated computational tool and a high-end configured smartphone for the proposed microscope. For the development of the proposed microscopic system, a simple optical set-up has been fabricated in a 3D printer. The set-up houses all the required optical components and the sample specimen with the 3D-printed XY stage, and it can be attached easily to the rear camera of the smartphone. Using the proposed microscopic system, enhanced imaging of USAF target and red blood cells have been successfully demonstrated. With the readily available optical components and a regular smartphone, the net cost involvement is significantly low (less than $250, including the smartphone). We envisioned that the designed system could be utilised for point-of-care diagnosis in resource-poor settings where access to the laboratory facilities is very limited.

Abstract
Nitrogen doping of graphene significantly affects its chemical properties, which is particularly important in molecular sensing and electrocatalysis applications. However, detailed insight into interaction between N-dopant and molecules at the atomic scale is currently lacking. Here we demonstrate control over the spin state of a single iron(II) phthalocyanine molecule by its positioning on N-doped graphene. The spin transition was driven by weak intermixing between orbitals with z-component of N-dopant (pz of N-dopant) and molecule (dxz, dyz, dz2) with subsequent reordering of the Fe d-orbitals. The transition was accompanied by an electron density redistribution within the molecule, sensed by atomic force microscopy with CO-functionalized tip. This demonstrates the unique capability of the high-resolution imaging technique to discriminate between different spin states of single molecules. Moreover, we present a method for triggering spin state transitions and tuning the electronic properties of molecules through weak non-covalent interaction with suitably functionalized graphene.

Abstract
In recent years, magnetic or electric field induced modulations on the electronic environment of single molecular systems are common practice. In this particular study, we have instigated the possibility of controlling the electronic and spin-dependent properties of hydrogen-terminated graphene fragments, so-called graphene nanoflakes (GNF), using weak non-covalent interactions as the external stimuli. The topological frustration in the graphene fragment appreciated the compelling electronic behavior of the system. This leads to some unorthodox spin-distribution in the system and it is possible to synchronize this electronic perturbation switching through a non-covalent interaction. These findings institute a new avenue for sculpting such donor-acceptor composites as self-regulated spintronic devices in next generation electronics.

Abstract
Disclosed here are a piperazine, a pyridine, and two carboxylate groups containing pentadentate ligand H2pmpa and its corresponding water-soluble Mn(II) complex (1). DFT-based structural optimization implied that the complex had pentagonal bipyramidal geometry where the axial positions were occupied by two water molecules, and the equatorial plane was constituted by the ligand ON3O donor set. Thus, a bis(aquated) disc-like Mn(II) complex has been synthesized. The complex showed higher stability compared with Mn(II)-EDTA complex [log KMnL = 14.29(3)] and showed a very high r1 relaxivity value of 5.88 mM-1 s-1 at 1.41 T, 25 °C, and pH = 7.4. The relaxivity value remained almost unaffected by the pH of the medium in the range of 6-10. Although the presence of 200 equiv of fluoride and bicarbonate anions did not affect the relaxivity value appreciably, an increase in the value was noticed in the presence of phosphate anion due to slow tumbling of the complex. Cell viability measurements, as well as phantom MR images using clinical MRI imager, consolidated the possible candidature of complex 1 as a positive contrast agent.

Abstract
We employed first-principles methods to elaborate doping induced electronic and magnetic perturbations in one-dimensional zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) superlattices. Consequently, the incorporation of alternate boron and nitrogen (hole–electron) centers into the hexagonal network instituted substantial modulations to electronic and magnetic properties of ZGNR. Our theoretical analysis manifested some controlled changes to electronic and magnetic properties of the ZGNR by tuning the positions (array) of impurity centers in the carbon network. Subsequent DFT based calculations also suggested that the site-specific alternate electron–hole (B/N) doping could regulate the band-gaps of the superlattices within a broad range of energy. The consequence of variation in the width of ZGNR in the electronic environment of the system was also tested. The systematic analysis of various parameters such as the structural orientations, spin-arrangements, the density of states (DOS), band structures, and local density of states envisioned a basis for the band-gap engineering in ZGNR and attributed to its feasible applications in next generation electronic device fabrication. Incorporation of an alternate impurity array in the ZGNR don't break the spin-degeneracy, providing the freedom to tune the electronic behaviors without affecting the spin-dependent properties.![]()

Abstract
Redox-active ligand H4Pra(edt(AP/AP)) experienced C-S bond cleavage during complexation reaction with Co(OAc)2·2H2O in the presence of Et3N in CH3OH in air. Thus, formed complex 1 was composed of two iminobenzosemiquinone radicals in its coordination sphere and an unprecedented stable tethered-vinyl radical. The complex has been characterized by mass, X-ray single crystal, X-band EPR, variable-temperature magnetic moment measurements and DFT based computational study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the perioperative morbidity and early outcome of buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty in patients with urethral stricture awaiting renal transplantation. METHODS Thirteen patients awaiting renal transplantation underwent BMG urethroplasty for long anterior urethral stricture between June 2011 and March 2013. The management issues, complications, and outcome of the BMG urethroplasty in this cohort of patients were studied. RESULTS Mean age of the patient was 38.7 ± 12.7 years. History of urethral manipulation was present in 8 patients. Mean stricture length was 6.92 ± 2.90 cm. Mean serum creatinine of the patient was 8.1 ± 3.6 mg%. Three patients required oral exploration for bleeding. Two patients had urinary extravasation, 3 patients had infected hematoma, and 1 patient developed dry gangrene of the glans. One patient had sepsis due to pyonephrosis in the postoperative period and succumbed to it. Mean follow-up of the patients was 34.54 ± 6.46 months. Three patients underwent VIU for recurrence of the stricture in the follow-up. At 3-month follow-up mean Qmax was 23.8 mL/sec, whereas at 6-month and 1-year follow-up, Qmax was 23.6 and 23.4 mL/sec, respectively. CONCLUSION This study shows a relatively higher complication rate of urethroplasty in prerenal transplant patients. Although the number of cases is too small to arrive at any definite conclusion, this study does gives an insight into the management issues, complications, and success of urethroplasty in this group of patients.

Abstract
Ligand H3Sami(Mixed(tBu)) was composed of two different compartments, a redox-active 2-aminophenol and a salen salicylidene. Both compartments were linked via a benzyl linker. The ligand reacted with CuCl2·2H2O under air in the presence of Et3N and provided the corresponding monoradical-coordinated mononuclear Cu(II) complex (1). Complex 1, in solution, reacted with air and provided complex 2 via ligand-centered oxygenation at the benzyl-CH2 position. Both complexes were characterized via IR, mass spectrometry, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility, cyclic voltammograms (CVs), and UV-vis/NIR spectroscopic techniques. X-ray crystallographic analyses clearly showed almost equally distorted square planar geometry around the Cu(II) atom in both complexes. However, the bending of the radical-containing C6 ring compared to the N1-Cu1-O1 plane was different in both complexes. While complex 1 was paramagnetic and showed a ferromagnetic coupling between the d(x(2)-y(2)) magnetic orbital of Cu(II) ion and the p(z) orbital of coordinated π-radical, complex 2 was diamagnetic by experiencing a strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the two magnetic orbitals. UV-vis/NIR spectra of the complexes were dominated by charge-transfer transitions. CVs of the complexes showed two reversible one-electron oxidations and one reversible one-electron reduction. E(1/2)(ox2) and E(1/2)(red1) potentials were different in both complexes, while E(1/2)(ox1) values were almost the same and the process corresponded to the formation of phenoxyl radical. Theoretical studies were also performed to understand the magnetic coupling phenomena, and TD-DFT calculations were employed for the assignment of charge-transfer absorption bands.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the culturable psychrotolerant microbial community in groundwater from Seabee Hook, Antarctica. Shallow groundwater can be present in coastal regions at higher latitudes during the Antarctic summer. Perched groundwater atop ice-cemented permafrost occurs on Seabee Hook, Cape Hallett, at depths from 5 to 80 cm below the soil surface. Compared with terrestrial water from other sites in Antarctica, the groundwater was high in salt and nutrients, reflecting proximity to the sea and ornithogenic soil. Microbial communities in groundwater samples from Seabee Hook exhibited aerobic metabolism of 14C-acetate at 5 degrees C. Numbers of culturable aerobic heterotrophs in the samples ranged from <10 to ca. 1 x 106 colony-forming units.mL-1, and similar numbers of microaerophiles and nitrate reducers were detected. In contrast, numbers of nitrifiers, sulfate reducers, and iron reducers were up to 1000-fold lower. All cultures were incubated at 5 degrees C. Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria isolated from the groundwater were assigned to Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, or Bacteroidetes. The isolates were most similar to cultured bacteria from Antarctic soil or sediment and were cold, salt, and alkaline pH tolerant, indicating they are adapted to in situ conditions.

Abstract
A retrospective review of hospital and available community records of 47 children undergoing orchidopexy in a district hospital was undertaken to determine adequacy of screening for cryptorchidism and factors associated with late referral. Twenty eight of these boys were previously examined on 108 occasions. Diagnosis was missed on 32 occasions and the record of 38 clinical examinations did not include position of testes. In the case of 16 boys (four under school age and 12 of school age) appropriate action was not taken once the diagnosis was made. Diagnosis was reliably made in school aged children but in children under the age of 1 year cryptorchidism was frequently missed by the examining doctor. It is suggested that criteria for diagnosis and referral should be agreed in any surveillance programme. Junior doctors in hospital responsible for routine clinical examination of children during admission and clinical medical officers or general practitioners during routine clinical examination of boys should be clearly instructed to examine and record the position of the testes.
