In the past years several cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTC’s) have been synthetized and characterized on the basis of the capacity of d10 transition metal ions to give bicoordinated linear compounds. This intriguing class of compounds display pi-acid/ pi-base properties that can be finely tuned by: the nature of the metal, the substituents on the ligand or the ligand itself. [1] These complexes are attractive building blocks to obtain supramolecular compounds showing interesting photopysical properties [2] or heterobimetallic cyclic trinuclear complexes with potential use in mixed-metal catalysis [3]. Here we report the synthesis of a novel gold (I) CTC, [Au(μ-C2,N3-1-vinylimidazole)]3, and the study of some photophysical properties of its supramolecular derivatives obtained by the intercalation of metal ions in between the metallocycles.

Azoles such as imidazoles and pyrazoles are optimal bridging ligands to obtain C,N or N,N trinuclear coinage metals metallocycles. Since past decade till now, few worldwide research groups including us have focused their attention to their synthesis and characterization.[1] Moreover, the photophysical properties[2] the extended network of metallophilic bondings in the supramolecular structure and the pi-acid/pi-base chemistry[3] of these compounds directed the research to theoretical studies bringing to a better interpretation of the experimental behaviors.[4] Here we report the synthesis of new coinage metals metallocycles and their spectroscopic characterizations highlighting points of continuity with the previous analogs and new features for new perspective research lines. As in example, the 1-vinylimidazole resembles the acid-base chemistry of the 1-benzylimidazole gold(I) metallocycle, while substitution in position 4,5 of 1-benzylimidazole with electron-withdrawing group, do not allow the formation of metallocycles with the same synthethic route and mononuclear gold(I) derivatives have been obtained. The nature of the heterocycle and of the substituents, in addition to their position in the azolate ligand defines and tunes the properties of the final products.

PZT film on silicon by electrophoretic deposition
In recent times direct integration of ferroelectrics on silicon wafer has been attracting interest [1]. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was investigated in this laboratory [2] as an alternative mean to produce lead zirconate titanate (PZT) film on silicon wafers followed by sintering at 850-950°C. EPD is an easily implemented deposition technique that requires only basic laboratory gear and a sufficiently stable colloidal suspension to produce ceramic and electroceramic films with thickness in the 100 nm - 10 mm range3 . It has been found that the EPD of niobium-doped lead zirconate titanate (PZTN), performed in ethanol-based suspensions of PZT on bare silicon wafers on which Al/Si alloyed ohmic contacts were made, produced smooth green films that strongly pinned to the silicon substrate after sintering. Thick and well-adhered sintered PZT films on silicon having thickness about 50 µm were thus obtained. Such structures could be the core of novel on-chip sensors/actuators. The results of the production of thick PZT films by EPD and sintering and some characterizations of the same are reported. [1] M. Y. Gureev, A. K. Tangatsev, N.

COVID-19, a viral endocrinological disease?
Ever since Chinese health officials informed the WHO of the presence of 44 patients suffering from an anomalous pneumonia apparently linked with the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market (Wuhan City) on 3rd January 2020, a conspicuous number of scientific publications on COVID-19 have understandably focused either on the main clinical presentation of the novel pathological entity or the response of the immune system to its pathogenic agent, thus following in the footsteps of the established hermeneutical research approach of contemporary infectivological studies..
