Magnetic Anisotropy in “Scorpionate” First‐Row Transition‐Metal Complexes: A Theoretical Investigation
Authors: Perić Marko , García‐Fuente Amador , Zlatar Matija , Daul Claude , Stepanović Stepan , García‐Fernández Pablo , Gruden‐Pavlović Maja
Published: January 2015

In this work we have analyzed in detail the magnetic anisotropy in a series of hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate (Tp−) metal complexes, namely [VTpCl]+, [CrTpCl]+, [MnTpCl]+, [FeTpCl], [CoTpCl], and [NiTpCl], and their substituted methyl and tert‐butyl analogues with the goal of observing the effect of the ligand field on the magnetic properties. In the [VTpCl]+, [CrTpCl]+, [CoTpCl], and [NiTpCl] complexes, the magnetic anisotropy arises as a consequence of out‐of‐state spin–orbit coupling, and covalent changes induced by the substitution of hydrogen atoms on the pyrazolyl rings does not lead to drastic changes in the magnetic anisotropy. On the other hand, much larger magnetic anisotropies were predicted in complexes displaying a degenerate ground state, namely [MnTpCl]+ and [FeTpCl], due to in‐state spin–orbit coupling. The anisotropy in these systems was shown to be very sensitive to perturbations, for example, chemical substitution and distortions due to the Jahn–Teller effect. We found that by substituting the hydrogen atoms in [MnTpCl]+ and [FeTpCl] by methyl and tert‐butyl groups, certain covalent contributions to the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) could be controlled, thereby achieving higher values. Moreover, we showed that the selection of ion has important consequences for the symmetry of the ground spin–orbit term, opening the possibility of achieving zero magnetic tunneling even in non‐Kramers ions. We have also shown that substitution may also contribute to a quenching of the Jahn–Teller effect, which could significantly reduce the magnetic anisotropy of the complexes studied.

The role of postoperative chemoradiation for oropharynx carcinoma: A critical appraisal of the published literature and National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines
Authors: Sinha Parul , Piccirillo Jay F. , Kallogjeri Dorina , Spitznagel Edward L. , Haughey Bruce H.
Published: January 2015

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) describes the presence of extracapsular spread and/or positive margins in oropharynx cancer (OPC) as an indication for the addition of chemotherapy to postoperative radiation. The guideline's category 1 consensus is based on what they term high‐level evidence. For this study, the authors performed a critical appraisal of the research upon which the NCCN guideline is based and assessed its relevance in the era of human papillomavirus (HPV)/p16‐positive OPC. Multiple shortcomings were identified, including patient exclusion after randomization and the use of unplanned subgroup analyses without multivariate adjustment, which undermined internal validity. Indeterminate HPV/p16 status limited external validity. Given the unique biology of HPV/p16‐positive tumors and the problems of internal and external validity, the authors concluded that the literature upon which the recommendation for the addition of chemotherapy to adjuvant radiation was based does not generate high‐level evidence, and its relevance for the postoperative management of patients with HPV/p16‐positive OPC remains unknown.
