Article investigating the utility of the non-biological element tellurium as a replacement for the widely biologically-utilized lighter chalcogenides sulfur and selenium in the realm of proton-reduction catalysis.

Article reports light induced charge separation in a newly synthesized triphenylamine–thiophene-Sc₃N@Iₕ-C₈₀ donor–acceptor conjugate and its C₆₀ analog, triphenylamine–thiophene-C₆₀ conjugate, and the significance of the thiophene spacer in promoting electron transfer events.

Article investigates the reaction of the trimetallic clusters [H₂Os₃(CO)₁₀] and [Ru₃(CO)₁₀L₂] (L = CO, MeCN) with 2-ethynylpyridine.

Article describes a convenient synthetic method for the preparation of the hydroxy-bridged triosmium cluster [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-OH)(μ-H)] along with the re-evaluation of the reaction of this cluster with dppm that has led to the isolation of a new isomer for [Os₃(CO)₈(μ-OH)(μ-H)(μ-dppm)].

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.

Article describes an efficient strategy for designing charge-transfer complexes using coinage metal cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs).

Article determines Abraham model L solute descriptors for 174 additional mono-methyl branched alkanes based on published linear-programmed gas chromatographic retention indices.

This article isolated resveratrol by a non-optimized protocol from ten varieties of grape cane grown in central Texas, USA. A statistical grouping of the ten varieties suggests that Norton, Blanca du bois, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Lenoir are the best candidates to use for further resveratrol isolation.

This article presents density functional theory (DFT) research where nine different molecules, each with different combinations of A (triel) and E (divalent metal) elements, were reacted to effect methane C–H activation.

Article demonstrating the dynamic potential for tailoring the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), size, and shapes of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) starting from an Au(I) precursor, chloro(dimethyl sulfide)gold (I) (Au(Me2S)Cl), in lieu of the conventional Au(III) precursor hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III) hydrate (HAuCl4). This approach presents a one-step method that permits regulation of an Au(I) precursor to form either visible-absorbing gold nanospheres or near-infrared-window (NIRW)-absorbing anisotropic AuNPs.

Article exploring the use of pressured and decoctions water to extract anti-diabetic phytochemicals from cinnamon. The extensive metabolite profiling of novel SW and SG extracts and comparison of that with commercially available CC are reported for the first time in this study. The C. zeylanicum, SW accession holds some promise in the management of diabetes.

Article demonstrating the adaptively molecular discrimination of xylene isomers by employing a NbOF52−-pillared metal–organic framework (NbOFFIVE-bpy-Ni, also referred to as ZU-61) with rotational anionic sites.

Article integrating a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film recognition unit with a liquid crystal (LC) in an optical cell transducer to incur the selectivity of liquid crystal-based sensors.

Article describes how a detailed chemical kinetic model for oxidation of methylamine has been developed, based on theoretical work and a critical evaluation of data from the literature. The mechanism was validated against experimental results from batch reactors, flow reactors, shock tubes, and premixed flames. This is the accepted manuscript version of the published article.

Authors of the article assert that rate coefficients, k1(T), for the gas-phase reaction of the OH radical with Furan-2,5-dione (maleic anhydride (MA), C4H2O3), a biomass burning related compound, were measured under pseudo first-order conditions in OH using the pulsed laser photolysis - laser induced fluorescence method over a range of temperature and bath gas pressure. Their results are compared with a previous room temperature relative rate study of the OH + MA reaction and significant discrepancy between the studies is discussed. This is the accepted manuscript version of the published article.
