A series of sulfur-bridged bis(2-indenyl) zirconocenes were synthesized and tested for ethylene/1-octene co- polymerization and 1-decene oligomerization. Zirconocene bearing two 5,6-positioned methyl substituents in indenyl moieties, distant from the metal center, appeared to be an active catalyst producing 1-decene oligomers with high content of unsaturated vinylidene end groups, which is preferable for post-functionalization.

The universal, user-friendly online iOk Platform for automatic recognition of any type of objects in images based on deep machine learning is presented. Services aggregated in the iOk Platform significantly reduce the time spent on quantitative image analysis, decrease the influence of the subjective factor and increase the accuracy of the analysis by expanding the set of data that can be analyzed automatically. It is shown how the services can be used to analyze scanning transmission electron microscopy images obtained in heterogeneous catalysis studies, allowing for measurements of thousands of objects in an image, as well as simultaneous analysis of objects of different types, namely: nanoparticles and single sites.

The performance of Mn/Beta in ozone catalytic oxidation (OZCO) of n-butane was optimized by variation of the Mn content (0.6–10 wt%) and localization of Mn species in the zeolite structure (as Mn2+ ions in the cationic position or MnOx species). It was found that localization of Mn2+ ions in the cationic positions of the zeolite favors high efficiency of ozone utilization in the OZCO process by minimizing O3 consumption, while the formation of Mn oxide species improves the catalyst activity at a low temperature (50–70 °C), though at the expense of the ozone utilization efficiency.

Two novel synthetic routes were suggested for square-planar carboxylic platinum(ii) complexes with acetic, pivalic, and benzoic ligands. In the first method, heating ionic complex [Py4Pt](OAc)2 under reduced pressure gives a molecular compound trans-[Py2Pt(OAc)2] with a moderate yield. In the second method, the same starting compound [Py4Pt](OAc)2 ∙ 6 H2O is melted with pivalic or benzoic acids, which leads to analogous carboxylic trans-complexes with almost quantitative yields.

A new, less time-consuming and resource-intensive approach to predicting the EC50 ecotoxicity index, which is crucial for assessing the impact of compounds on ecosystems, is proposed. Efficient EC50 prediction based on infrared spectroscopy data and EC50 values from the EcoTOX database is achieved using machine learning. The best results with an F1-score of 0.83 were obtained with the SVC and XGBoost models.

6-{[4-(Aziridin-1-yl)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino}-hexanoic acid methyl ester and sodium salt were synthesized from cyanuric chloride. The sodium salt would interact with free radicals of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and inhibit hemolysis induced by Radachlorin. Both compounds interact with DNA with Kbin values of 1.09 × 107 and 0.99 × 107 dm3 mol−1, respectively; they also demonstrate cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines.
