Abstract
A series of new ferrocenyl nitroheterocyclic sulfonylhydrazones (1a-4a and 1b-2b) were prepared by the reaction between formyl (R = H) or acetyl (R = CH3) nitroheterocyclic precursors [4/5-NO2(C5H2XCOR), where X = O, S)] and ferrocenyl tosyl hydrazine [(η5-C5H5)Fe(η5-C5H4SO2-NH-NH2)]. All compounds were characterized by conventional spectroscopic techniques. In the solid state, the molecular structures of compounds 1a, 2b, and 3a were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds showed an E-configuration around the C=N moiety. Evaluation of trypanocidal activity, measured in vitro against the Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei strains, indicated that all organometallic tosyl hydrazones displayed activity against both parasite species with a higher level of potency toward T. brucei than T. cruzi. Moreover, the biological evaluation showed that the 5-nitroheterocyclic derivatives were more efficient trypanocidal agents than their 4-nitroheterocyclic counterparts.

Abstract
We recently reported the first examples of S-Cl⋅⋅⋅O halogen bonding complemented by short F⋅⋅⋅F contacts between neighboring chains that resulted in stabilized crystals of ClSO2 (CF2 )4 SO2 Cl and ClSO2 (CF2 )6 SO2 Cl. More recently, other researchers studied our crystallographic data further using an Independent Gradient Model (IGM), and they suggested if one goes beyond IUPAC's proposed 'less than the sum of the van der Waals radii' criterion that even more noncovalent interactions between fluorine atoms on neighboring chains as well as Cl⋅⋅⋅Cl, Cl⋅⋅⋅S, O⋅⋅⋅F, and O⋅⋅⋅S attractive interactions can be found. With that said, we have prepared samples of the related BrSO2 (CF2 )n SO2 Br derivatives (where n=4, 6, 8, and others), which give rise to even stronger S-Br⋅⋅⋅O halogen bonding interactions complemented minimally by O⋅⋅⋅F and F⋅⋅⋅F intermolecular interactions as shown by X-ray crystallography and computational chemistry using IGM isosurface plots. Additional spectroscopic characterization (multinuclear NMR, FT-IR, and MS) of the disulfonyl bromide derivatives BrSO2 (CF2 )4 SO2 Br, BrSO2 (CF2 )6 SO2 Br, and BrSO2 (CF2 )8 SO2 Br has also been obtained as well as some preliminary spectroscopic evidence for BrSO2 (CF2 )2 SO2 Br and BrSO2 CF2 O(CF2 )2 OCF2 SO2 Br. The implication of these results toward the preparation of the corresponding disulfonyl iodides is discussed.

Abstract
Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are scalable devices that employ solution-based redox active components for scalable energy storage. To maximize energy density, new highly soluble catholytes and anolytes need to be synthesized and evaluated for their electrochemical performance. To that end, we synthesized a series of imidazolium ferrocene bis(sulfonate) salts as highly soluble catholytes for RFB applications. Six salts with differing alkyl chain lengths on the imidazolium cation were synthesized, characterized, and electrochemically analyzed. While aqueous solubility was significantly improved, the reactivity of the imidazolium cation and the increased viscosities of the salt solutions in water (which increase with increasing imidazolium chain length) limit the applicability of these materials to RFB design.

Abstract
This report presents the synthesis and characterization of mono- and bis(amino acid ester) ferrocene complexes generated using a sulfonamide linking strategy as an alternative to the more heavily explored amide linking strategy. These compounds were investigated to test their ability to form hydrogen bonding interactions both in the solid state and in solution, and were compared to the previously observed intramolecular interstrand crosslinking seen in amide-linked ferrocene constructs. Synthesized compounds also included controls that do not exhibit sulfonamide N-H bonds and thus cannot engage in hydrogen bonding. In the solid state, we observe both S=O⋯H-N and C=O⋯H-N intermolecular interactions, but we do not observe any intramolecular interstrand hydrogen bonding. In the solution phase, we also do not see any intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in these compounds as measured by titration of d6-DMSO as a competitive hydrogen bonding reagent. We also collected CD spectra on these compounds, which revealed that the chiral peptides can induce dichroism in the dd transition of the ferrocene units. Our results indicate that the peptide-ferrocene linking group governs whether intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions can occur between the amino acids adjacent to the cyclopentadienyl groups.
