Purpose The use of AI-powered technology, particularly OpenAI’s ChatGPT, holds significant potential to reshape healthcare and medical education. Despite existing studies on the performance of ChatGPT in medical licensing examinations across different nations, a comprehensive, multinational analysis using rigorous methodology is currently lacking. Our study sought to address this gap by evaluating the performance of ChatGPT on six different national medical licensing exams and investigating the relationship between test question length and ChatGPT’s accuracy. Methods We manually inputted a total of 1,800 test questions (300 each from US, Italian, French, Spanish, UK, and Indian medical licensing examination) into ChatGPT, and recorded the accuracy of its responses. Results We found significant variance in ChatGPT’s test accuracy across different countries, with the highest accuracy seen in the Italian examination (73% correct answers) and the lowest in the French examination (22% correct answers). Interestingly, question length correlated with ChatGPT’s performance in the Italian and French state examinations only. In addition, the study revealed that questions requiring multiple correct answers, as seen in the French examination, posed a greater challenge to ChatGPT. Conclusion Our findings underscore the need for future research to further delineate ChatGPT’s strengths and limitations in medical test-taking across additional countries and to develop guidelines to prevent AI-assisted cheating in medical examinations.

We have synthesized and characterized five copper(I) complexes with unsymmetrically substituted thiourea ligands. These include two coordination polymers, [Cu(S tu NH)Br] n and [Cu(S tu(Py) NH)Br] n , two dinuclear complexes, [Cu 2 (S tu NH) 4 Br 2 ] and [Cu 2 (S tu(Py) NH) 2 Br 2 (MeCN) 2 ], and one hexanuclear complex, [Cu 6 (S tu N) 6 ]. The Cu atoms of the coordination polymers are connected through alternating thione and bromide bridges and the dimeric structures through thione bridges. The thionebridged structures show similarities with the biologically highly [a] 1266 Scheme 2. Reaction scheme leading to the copper(I) complexes C1-C5. The ratios in parentheses refer to ligand/metal ratio.

The possibility to form hydrogen bonds with different motifs is an interesting aspect of the chemistry of thioureas especially regarding catalysis. We present nine new thioureas with different unsymmetric substitution patterns involving aromatic and aliphatic substituents including the structural characterization of four of them. Herein, three different hydrogen bond patterns could be realized. Moreover, DFT calculations were performed to investigate the strength of the hydrogen * Prof. Dr. S. Herres-Pawlis E-Mail: sonja.herres-pawlis@ac.rwth-aachen.de [a] 660 bonds. Hereby, we show that we can selectively address different hydrogen bonding motifs by the choice of substituents. This enables a correlation of the molecular structure and the bonding motifs. Additionally, by natural resonance theory, we show that the contribution of the thiolate resonance form dominates the electronic structure, which is important for coordination chemistry.

The reaction of Cu(I) bisguanidine complexes with nitric oxide and the formation of intermediate species were monitored via UV-vis spectroscopy at low temperature, with the occurrence of characteristic absorption bands. The origin of the emerging species and their character were substantiated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) studies showing a delocalized {CuNO} 11 radical species. Furthermore, this system was transferred to the SuperFocus mixer setup, which allows rapid mixing and the determination of decay constants at ambient temperatures of the thermally sensitive species. However, these experiments demonstrated the limits of these systems, such as the NO saturation in organic solvents and a preferably precise temperature control within the SuperFocus mixer, which should be addressed in the future.
