5 % in cN0 and 12.7 % in cN1). Combined, 23.1 % of all pre-operatively cN0-staged patients (n = 46/199) had OLM (pN+), of which 12.1 % (24/199) had metastases in regions 5-6 and/or 12-14. Of all patients with OLM, 50.0 % (23/46) had primary tumors ≤30 mm.

OLM are frequently identified in clinically N0/N1 NSCLC, also in tumors <3 cm, and often in regions beyond reach of current staging techniques. These findings should be addressed when non-surgical treatment or sub-lobar resections are considered for early stage lung cancer.

The spin-orbit coupling (SOC), core-valence correlation (CV), scalar relativistic effects and Davidson correction (+Q) are included. The potential energy curves (PECs) of 13 Λ-S correlated with the four lowest dissociation limits and 32 Ω electronic states generated from those Λ-S states are obtained. Our results indicate that the first 3Σ- and second 3Π states are adiabatically correlated with the dissociation limit Ge(3Pg) + H+(1S), which is different from the previously reported Ge+(4Pg) + H(2Sg). From the computed PECs, the spectroscopic constants of the Λ-S and Ω states are determined, which are in good agreement with previous experiments. The dipole moments (DMs) for Λ-S electronic states are also investigated. With the help of spin-orbit coupling matrix involving the 13Σ- and 23Π states, the intricate couplings related with the crossing states are revealed, and the weak predissociation for ν' ≥0 vibrational levels of 13Σ- and the perturbations for vibrational levels of 21Σ+ (ν' ≥1) and 11Δ (ν' ≥0) states are analyzed. selleck Finally, the transition properties of five transitions are predicted, including the Franck-Condon Factors (FCFs), transition dipole moments (TDMs), and the spontaneous radiative lifetimes of lower vibrational states. This study will improve our comprehension on the detailed electronic structure and spectroscopy of GeH+ radical cation.An optical probe 1 has been synthesized comprising naphthalimide unit conjugated with Schiff base, exhibiting excited state intramolecular proton transfer and intramolecular charge transfer as a potential sensor for Al3+ and F- ions using standard spectroscopic techniques. The probe 1 exhibited local and charge-transfer excitation at 340 nm and 460 nm, respectively. On excitation at 460 nm, probe 1 displayed two emission bands at 510 nm and 610 nm, accompanied by Stokes' shift of 50 nm and 150 nm, respectively. The solvatochromic effect and theoretical calculation depicted that the representative emissions resulted from the ESICT/ESIPT phenomenon. Upon addition of Al3+ ions, the charge transfer excitation at 460 nm was enhanced ratiometrically to local excitation at 340 nm and showed a color change from orange to yellow. Similarily, probe 1.Al3+ displayed emission enhancement at 540 nm in H2O/CH3CN (19; v/v) and showed a color change from yellow to blue-green emission. Following the detection of Al3+ ions, hydrolysis of probe 1 to its reacting precursors was observed. The detection of Al3+ ions was also demonstrated in surfactant-containing water. The limit of detection (LOD) of probe 1 (H2O/CH3CN (19; v/v)) towards Al3+ ions was measured to be 3.2 × 10-8 M. The probe 1 displayed a ratiometric absorption response towards F- ions with a new peak at 570 nm and showed a color change from orange to purple. The probe 1.F- displayed a decrease in emission at 635 nm. The LOD of probe 1 (CH3CN) towards F- ions was measured to be 7.5 × 10-7 M.A diaminobenzophenone Schiff base derived probe 1, was synthesized and structure elucidation was carried out by spectroscopic studies viz., FT-IR, UV-vis, 1H, and 13C NMR and mass spectrometry. The sensing phenomenon with different metal ions (Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+) was investigated by employing absorption and fluorescence titrations, which demonstrated that probe 1 exhibited selective fluorescent sensing behavior towards Fe2+ ion among various other metal ions. The porobes selceteclivity towards Fe2+ was also examined by colorimetric assay which revealed a change in the color from light yellow to brown upon addition of Fe2+ ion. A remarkable increase in the fluorescence intensity of probe 1 was observed towards Fe2+ ion, which was found to be associated with the inhibition of photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) and CN isomerization processes, respectively. The chemosensor exhibited an association constant value of 6.173 × 107 M-2 as determined by using non-linear least square fit data. Job's plot calculated the binding stoichiometry, and the sensing phenomenon of Fe2+ towards the probe was further supported by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations and 1H NMR studies. The detection limit of probe 1 was found to be 0.0363 µM, which is below the permissible limits according to the WHO guideline (5 μM) for Fe2+ ions in the drinking water. Furthermore, the practical application of probe 1 was studied by analyzing the content of Fe2+ in different water samples.2-Chloro-4-fluorotoluene was investigated using a combination of molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy in the frequency range from 5 to 21 GHz and quantum chemistry. The molecule experiences an internal rotation of the methyl group, which causes fine splittings of all rotational transitions into doublets with separation on the order of a few tens of kHz. In addition, hyperfine effects originating from the chlorine nuclear quadrupole moment coupling its nuclear spin to the end-over-end rotation of the molecule are observed. The torsional barrier was derived using both the rho and the combined-axis-method, giving a value of 462.5(41) cm-1. Accurate rotational constants and quadrupole coupling constants were determined for the 35Cl and 37Cl isotopologues and compared with Bailey's semi-experimental quantum chemical predictions. The gas phase molecular structure was deduced from the experimental rotational constants supplemented with those calculated by quantum chemistry at various levels of theory.
