Horizontal and vertical mutation fans

We introduce diagrams for m-cluster categories which we call "horizontal" and "vertical" mutation fans. These are analogous to the mutation fans(also known as "semi-invariant pictures" or "scattering diagrams") for the standard(m = 1) cluster case, which are dual to the poset of finitely generated torsion classes. The purpose of these diagrams is to visualize mutations and analogues of maximal green sequences in the m-cluster category with special emphasis on the c-vectors(the "brick" labels).     

Cyclic posets and triangulation clusters

Triangulated categories coming from cyclic posets were originally introduced by the authors in a previous paper as a generalization of the constructions of various triangulated categories with cluster structures.We give an overview, and then analyze "triangulation clusters" which are those corresponding to topological triangulations of the 2-disk. Locally finite nontriangulation clusters give topological triangulations of the "cactus space" associated to the "cactus cyclic poset".     

Far‐ and Deep‐Ultraviolet Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor

Plasmonics in the UV region has been widely focused because of the higher energy and the abundant electronic resonances compared to the conventional visible plasmonics. Recently, we have investigated the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of the Al film, aiming for the application as refractive index sensors. Utilizing the UV lights, we expect three advantages: high sensitivity, material selectivity, and surface selectivity. By using an original attenuated total reflectance spectroscopic instrument, Al‐SPR angle and wavelength were investigated with changing environments on the Al film. Al film thickness and materials of prisms on which Al was evaporated were also important factors for the SPR properties. By optimizing the conditions, the Al film worked as a sensor both in air and in liquids. In addition, our established system expands the plasmonics into an even higher energy region than 200 nm, while the UV‐plasmonics have been studied in the wavelength region longer than 200 nm.     

Pyridine-Stabilized Cationic Silanethione Tungsten Complexes: Synthesis,Structures, and Reactivity

Silanethione compounds, R₂Si=S, have been recognized as highly reactive species. One reliable way to stabilize silanethione is its coordination to transition metal fragments to convert silanethione-coordinated transition metal complexes. Herein, we report the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a second cationic silanethione tungsten complex [Cp*(OC)₃W{S=SiR₂(py)}]TFPB (R=Me ( 5 a ), Ph ( 5 b ), Cp*: η⁵-C₅Me₅, py: pyridine, and TFPB⁻: [B{3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₄]⁻). Complex 5 was obtained by H⁻ abstraction from the Si atom in the corresponding silylsulfanyl complex Cp*(OC)₃W(SSiR₂H) ( 4 ) with Ph₃CTFPB, followed by the addition of pyridine. The reaction of 5 with PhNCS and PMe₃ produced [Cp*(OC)₃W{SSiR₂N(Ph)C(PMe₃)₂}]TFPB (R=Me ( 6 a ), Ph ( 6 b )) via the elimination of pyridine and the addition of the 1,3-dipolar species PhNC(PMe₃)₂ ( A ) to the Si atom.     

Phosphorescent Ruthenium Complexes with a Nitroimidazole Unit that Image Oxygen Fluctuation in Tumor Tissue

Understanding oxygen fluctuation in a cancerous tumor is important for effective treatment, especially during radiotherapy. In this paper, ruthenium complexes bearing a nitroimidazole group are shown to report the oxygen status in tumor tissue directly. The nitroimidazole group was known to be accumulated in hypoxic tumor tissues. On the other hand, the ruthenium complex showed strong phosphorescence around 600 nm. The emission of ruthenium is quenched instantaneously by molecular oxygen due to energy transfer between triplet states of oxygen and ruthenium complex, but the emission is then recovered by the removal of oxygen. Thus, we could observe oxygen fluctuation in tumor tissue in a real‐time manner by monitoring the phosphorescence of the ruthenium complex. The versatility of the probe is demonstrated by monitoring oxygen fluctuation in living cells and tumor tissue planted in mice. The ruthenium complex promptly penetrated plasma membrane and accumulated in cells to emit its oxygen‐dependent phosphorescence. In vivo experiments revealed that the oxygen level in tumor tissue seems to fluctuate at the sub‐minute timescale.

Aerobic Toluene Oxidation Catalyzed by Subnano Metal Particles

Subnanocatalysts (SNCs) containing various noble metals (Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, or Pt) with sizes of approximately 1 nm were synthesized using dendritic poly(phenylazomethine)s as a macromolecular template. These materials exhibit high catalytic performance during toluene oxidation without the use of harmful solvents or explosive oxidants, resulting in the formation of valuable organic products, including benzoic acid as the major product. In particular, Pt₁₉ SNC with a narrow particle size distribution exhibits extraordinary catalytic activity, with a turnover frequency of 3238 atom^?1 h^?1, which is 1700 times greater than that obtained by commercial Pt/C catalysts.
