Article discusses how, although acids are extensively used in contemporary industries, time-consuming and environmentally unfriendly processes hinder single-acid recovery from wastes containing various iconic species. The authors rationally designed a membrane with uniform angstrom-sized pore channels and built-in charge-assisted hydrogen bond donors that preferentially conducted HCl while exhibiting negligible conductance for other compounds.

Article discusses how the immobilization of biomolecules into porous materials could lead to significantly enhanced performance in terms of stability towards harsh reaction conditions and easier separation for their reuse. To gain insights into the spatial arrangement of biomolecules within the nanopores, the authors used in situ small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to probe deuterated green fluorescent protein (d-GFP) entrapped in a mesoporous MOF.

Article discusses a new europium-based complex, K[Eu(hfa)4] with hfa = hexafluoroacetylacetonate is synthesized and its structure confirmed via X-ray crystallography. Based on the data collected, a highly stable, brightly red-emissive Eu(III) complex with the ability to differentiate concentrations of CO2 in solution is hereby developed and characterized with benefits for various CO2 sensing applications.

This article synthesizes and characterizes a series of new cationic dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO₂(Lⁿ)]PF₆ (2–5) with the tripodal tetradentate pyridyl aminophenolate ligands HL²-HL⁵.

This presentation introduces the possibility of using nanomaterials and optically active sensors in genomics research. The presenter shares the history and applications of nanomaterials, introduces their research into optical-luminescent sensors and optically active plasmonic nanoparticles, and explores how they might be used in genomics. It was presented at the UNT Transdisciplinary Conference on Ancestral Genomics Research which was held virtually on November 20-21, 2020.

Article develops a double divergent process for the reaction of α-enaminones with quinones through facile manipulation of catalyst and additive, leading to structurally completely different products.

Author Manuscript version of an article investigating the ability of a triplet photosensitizer to generate long-lived charge separated states, in contrast to traditionally used singlet photosensitizers, in covalently functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube hybrids.
