This article obtains two few-atom heterometallic gold–silver hepta-/decanuclear clusters, denoted Au₆Ag and Au₉Ag, and determines their structures by X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry.

Article analyzes the origins of the complex Fe 2p X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and is related to the character of the bonding in this compound. This analysis provides a new and novel view of the reasons for XPS binding energies (BEs) and BE shifts, which deepens the current understanding and interpretation of the physical and chemical significance of the XPS. This article is part of the JCP Special Topic on Oxide Chemistry and Catalysis.

Article presenting research where twenty clusters of the general formula [(μ-H)₂Ru₃(μ₃-S)(CO)₇(μ-P–P*)] (P–P* = chiral diphosphine of the ferrocene-based Walphos or Josiphos families) have been synthesised and characterised.

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

This article hypothesizes and demonstrates a new mechanism to stabilize the charge separated states via the process of electron exchange among the different acceptor entities in multimodular donor–acceptor conjugates. This work constitutes the first example of stabilizing charge-separated states via the process of electron exchange.

This article investigates the role of the highly conserved α,β-hydrolase enzymes PyiE and ORFZ during the biosynthesis of pyrichalasin H and the ACE1 metabolite, respectively, using gene knockout and complementation techniques. Taken together the results suggest that the α,β-hydrolase enzymes are essential for first ring cyclisation, but the precise nature of the intermediates remains to be determined.

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 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 examines the covalent character of the interaction between the metal cation and the oxygen ligands for two Fe oxides with different nominal oxidation states, Fe(II)O, and Fe(III)₂O₃.

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.

This article devised, fabricated, and tested a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) film based electrochemical sensor for selective determination of tyramine.

This article tests an assembly consisting of CdSe quantum dots and [Fe₃Te₂(CO)₉] as a catalytic system for proton reduction in aqueous solution.

Article presenting research where an electropolymerizable zinc porphyrin carrying eight entities of peripheral bithiophene, 4 was newly designed and synthesized.

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.

The articles is about a study of the response of six NIR aza-BODIPY-based and structurally similar fluorophores to polarity and viscosity for incorporation inside Pluronic nanoparticles as switchable fluorescent probes (SFPs). Based on their results, all of these fluorophores were moderately to strongly sensitive to the polarity of the microenvironment. They concluded that attaching amine groups to the fluorophore is not necessary for having strong polarity sensitive probes.

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.
