- The crystal and molecular structure of a polycrystalline powder with a metal-metal bond and the composition TlPt(CN)(5) has been determined by combining results from X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and vibrational spectroscopic studies. The XRD data gave the tetragonal space group P4/nmm (No. 129). with a = 7.647(3), c = 8.049(3) Angstrom, Z = 2, and well-determined positions of the heavy metal atoms. The Pt-Tl bond length in the compound is 2.627(2) Angstrom. The platinum atom coordinates four equivalent equatorial cyano ligands, with a fifth axial CN ligand and a thallium atom completing a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The Tl-Pt(CN)(5) entities are linked together in linear -NC-Pt-Tl-NC-Pt-Tl chains through the axial cyano ligand. These linear wires are the essential structural features and influence the properties of the com-pound. A three-dimensional network is formed by the four equatorial cyano ligands of the platinum atom that form bridges to the thallium atoms of neighbouring antiparallel chains. The platinum atom and the five nitrogen atoms from the bridging cyano groups form a distorted octahedron around the thallium atom. EXAFS data were recorded at the Pt and Tl L-III edges for a more complete description of the local structure around the Pt and Tl atoms. The excessive multiple scattering was evaluated by means of the FEFF program. Raman and infrared absorption spectroscopy reveal strong coupling of the vibrational modes of the TlPt(CN)(5) entities, in particular the metal - metal stretching mode, which is split into four Raman and two IR bands. Factor group theory shows that a structural unit larger than the crystallographic unit cell must be used to assign vibrational bands. Intra- and intermolecular force constants have also been calculated. The compound exhibits red luminescence at 700+/- 3 nm in glycerol and has a corresponding excitation maximum at 240 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) show that the metal atoms have intermediate oxidation states, Pt3.2+ and Tl1.6+, between those in the parent Pt-II and Tl-III species and the decomposition products, Pt-IV and Tl-I. The solid compound TlPt(CN)(5) is stable to 520 degreesC. However in presence of water, a two-electron transfer between the metal atoms results in the cleavage of the metal-metal bond at 80 degreesC, forming a Pt-IV pentacyanohydrate complex and a monovalent thallium ion.

- The structures of three closely related heterodimetallic cyano complexes, [(NC)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)(n)](n-) (n = 1-3), formed in reactions between [Pt-II(CN)(4)](2-) and Tl-III cyano complexes, have been studied in aqueous solution. Multinuclear NMR data ((TI)-T-205, Pt-195, and C-13) were used for identification and quantitative analysis. X-ray absorption spectra were recorded at the Pt and TlLIII edges. The EXAFS data show, after developing a model describing the extensive multiple scattering within the linearly coordinated cyano ligands, short Pt-Tl bond distances in the [(NC)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)(n)](n-) complexes: 2.60(1), 2.62(1), and 2.64(1) Angstrom for n = 1-3, respectively. Thus, the Pt-Tl bond distance increases with increasing number of cyano ligands on the thallium atom. In all three complexes the thallium atom and five cyano ligands, with a mean Pt-C distance of 2.00-2.01 Angstrom, octahedrally coordinate the platinum atom. In the hydrated [(NC)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)(H2O)(4)](-) species the thallium atom coordinates one cyano ligand, probably as a linear Pt-TI-CN entity with a Tl-C bond distance of 2.13(1) Angstrom, and possibly four loosely bound water molecules with a mean Tl-O bond distance of about 2.51 Angstrom. In the [(NC)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)(2)](2-) species, the thallium atom probably coordinates the cyano ligands trigonally with two TI-C bond distances at 2.20(2) Angstrom, and in [(NC)(5)Pt-Tl(CN)(3)]Tl3- coordinates tetrahedrally with three TI-C distances at 2.22(2) Angstrom. EXAFS data were reevaluated for previously studied mononuclear thallium(III)-cyano complexes in aqueous solution, [Tl(CN)(2)(H2O)(4)](+), [Tl(CN)(3)(H2O)], and [Tl(CN)(4)](-), and also for the solid K[TI(CN)(4)] compound. A comparison shows that the TI-C bond distances are longer in the dinuclear complexes [(NC)(5)Pt-TI(CN)(n)](n-) (it = 1-3) for the same coordination number. Relative oxidation states of the metal atoms were estimated from their Pt-195 and (TI)-T-205 chemical shifts, confirming that the I(NC)5Pt-TI(CN),]n- complexes can be considered as metastable intermediates in a two-electron-transfer redox reaction from platinum(II) to thallium(III). Vibrational spectra were recorded and force constants from normal-coordinate analyses are used for discussing the delocalized bonding in these species.

- We recently demonstrated that the LKB1 tumour suppressor kinase, in complex with the pseudokinase STRAD and the scaffolding protein MO25, phosphorylates and activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). A total of 12 human kinases (NUAK1, NUAK2, BRSK1, BRSK2, QIK, QSK, SIK, MARK1, MARK2, MARK3, MARK4 and MELK) are related to AMPK. Here we demonstrate that LKB1 can phosphorylate the T-loop of all the members of this subfamily, apart from MELK, increasing their activity >50-fold. LKB1 catalytic activity and the presence of MO25 and STRAD are required for activation. Mutation of the T-loop Thr phosphorylated by LKB1 to Ala prevented activation, while mutation to glutamate produced active forms of many of the AMPK-related kinases. Activities of endogenous NUAK2, QIK, QSK, SIK, MARK1, MARK2/3 and MARK4 were markedly reduced in LKB1-deficient cells. Neither LKB1 activity nor that of AMPK-related kinases was stimulated by phenformin or AICAR, which activate AMPK. Our results show that LKB1 functions as a master upstream protein kinase, regulating AMPK-related kinases as well as AMPK. Between them, these kinases may mediate the physiological effects of LKB1, including its tumour suppressor function.

- Aqueous peroxomolybdates have been studied using 17O NMR together with equilibrium measurements and calculations, over a wide range of conditions. Ten peroxo species are identified, mostly in more than one state of protonation. Some are already known in the solid state, or from equilibrium analysis, but structural information is also obtained for MoO3(HO2)– and the new or previously tentative species Mo2O5(O2)22–, HpMo7O23(O2)2p–6 and HpMo7O23(O2)p–6(p= 0–2). Sites of protonation are identified, as are 17O resonances from both bidentate and monodentate peroxide. Several oxygen exchange processes are also seen, including a probable dimer–tetramer exchange.

- In order to elucidate the composition of the female sex pheromone of the northern (beech) winter moth, Operophtera fagata Scharf. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), ovipositor extracts of unmated, calling females were analysed by gas chromatography with simultaneous electroantennographic and flame ionization detection (GC-EAD/FID). Male antennal responses indicated three active components, two of which had distinct matching peaks in the FID trace. Using coupled gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS), these two compounds were identified as (9Z)-nonadecene (9Z-19:Hy), and (6Z,9Z)-nonadecadiene (6Z9Z-19:Hy), respectively. The third component, present in very small amounts only, was identified as (1,3Z,6Z,9Z)-nonadecatetraene (1,3Z6Z9Z-19:Hy), known as the sex pheromone of the common winter moth, O. brumata. Field tests revealed that traps baited with 6Z9Z-19:Hy and 1,3Z6Z9Z-19:Hy caugth large numbers of male O. fagata. Both compounds were found to be essential for attraction of O. fagata. In addition, the diene prevented captures of co-occurring O. brumata. In contrast, 9Z-19:Hy neither influenced the attractiveness of the two-component mixture towards O. fagata nor contributed to bait specificity. A binary mixture of 6Z9Z-19:Hy and 1,3Z6Z9Z-19:Hy in a ratio of 10:1, applied to pieces of rubber tubing, constituted a highly attractive and species-specific bait for O. fagata, which can be used for monitoring of the flight of this defoliator pest of deciduous forests.
