Additively manufactured 316L stainless steel as a potential alternative implant material by M.S. Alam, S.R. Campbell, S.R. Spivey, G. Dutta, N. Pal, A. Karan, J. Xie, M.A. DeCoster, E.P. Murray

“…Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization measurements indicated samples fabricated at 800 mm/s developed a more compact and thicker passive oxide film resulting in greater corrosion resistance, relative to samples prepared at the higher laser scan speeds. The surface characteristics of SLM 316L SS samples fabricated at 800 mm/s also promoted substantial biocompatibility that was observed via cell attachment and differentiation of osteoblasts, as well as high collagen 1A coverage indicating strong potential as a alternative implant material.…”

An efficient transition-metal-free route to oligo-$\alpha $-pyridylamines via fluoroarenes by Nicolini, Alessio, Anderlini, Biagio, Roncaglia, Fabrizio, Cornia, Andrea

“…The new polynucleating tripodal proligand $\text{H}_6\text{tren(dpa)}_3$, containing thirteen nitrogen donors of four different types, was designed, synthesized, and isolated in good yield (${\sim }$60%) via a transition-metal-free triple N-arylation of $\text{H}_6$tren with HXdpa (X $=$ Br or F), using $\text{K}_2\text{CO}_3$ or $\text{Cs}_2\text{CO}_3$ as a base ($\text{H}_6$tren $=$ tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, HXdpa $=$ 6-halogeno-$N$-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-2-amine). HFdpa was prepared with excellent yield (90–92%) by reaction of 2,6-difluoropyridine with 2-aminopyridine in LiH/toluene/pyridine and was found more reactive than HBrdpa, affording higher conversion and higher yield. …”
