Theoretical Prediction of Metallomimetic Stable Cyclic Group 13 Carbenoids Density Functional Theory calculations were performed to design a new class of strongly nucleophilic cyclic intramolecular base stabilized group 13 carbenoids. The carbenoids were found to exhibit metallomimetic behaviour owing to the presence of frontier orbitals of appropriate energy and symmetry, and may be considered as potential candidates for metal-free activation of small molecules.

Binding of Base-Stabilized Borylenes with Transition Metals and Formation of Metal Only Lewis Pairs Computational investigations employing Density Functional Theory (SMD(benzene)-M06-2X-D3/6-311+G*) predict that stable metal-free mono (Lewis base)-stabilized borylenes could strongly bind with transition metal (Fe and Ni) complexes.

A small-molecule probe to decipher stress-induced ER microenvironments and ER-Golgi communication Cellular stress is a crucial factor in regulating and maintaining both organismal and microenvironmental homeostasis. It induces a response that also affects the micropolarity of specific cellular compartments, which is essential for early disease diagnosis.
