This article looks at hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which are potent greenhouse gases that are potential substitutes for ozone depleting substances. The Kigali amendment lists 17 HFCs that are currently in commercial use to be regulated under the Montreal Protocol. Future commercial applications may explore the use of other HFCs, most of which currently lack an evaluation of their climate metrics. In this work, atmospheric lifetimes, radiative efficiencies (REs), global warming potentials (GWPs), and global temperature change potentials (GTPs) for all saturated HFCs with fewer than 5 carbon atoms are estimated to help guide future usage and policy decisions.

This article investigates a new architecture for iterative Type I polyketide synthases (PKS) from fungi.

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 discusses how fungal specialized metabolites play an important role in the environment and have impacted human health and survival significantly. This review illustrates the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites where the localization of all, or some, of the biosynthetic enzymes have been determined and describes the methods used to identify the sub-cellular localization.

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 presents a combination of first principles and quantum ballistic transport calculations to shed important insights from an atomistic viewpoint on the underlying mechanisms governing spin transport in graphene/ CrI₃ junctions.

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.

Article comments on the claims made by the authors of the original article. The authors of the commentary note flaws in the DFT-based methodology and the commentators describe differences between their application and the original article's described application.
