Ag(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes: Synthesis, structure, and application
Article Abstract:
Complexes of N-heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC) that bind to both hard and soft metals making it a very versatile ligand system specially related to silver salt are reported. The structural study of silver NHCs has led to a diverse field of bonding motifs in the solid state and are further being explored for possible use as novel antimicrobial agents for wound healing.

Total synthesis of natural 8- and 9-membered lactones: Recent advancements in medium-sized ring formation
Article Abstract:
A summary is presented on the trends in the synthesis of naturally occurring 8- and 9-membered lactones. The three rare 8-membered lactones such as cephalosporolide, octalactins A and B are successfully synthesized through several approaches to the formation of the medium-sized rings.
