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 developed a simple photochemical method for making conjoined bi-metallic gold-silver (Au/Ag) nanotwins, a new breed of nanoparticles.

Article studying solid-liquid equilibrium of meloxicam in {2-propanol + water} mixtures at several temperatures as a contribution to preformulation studies of homogeneous liquid pharmaceutical dosage forms based on this drug.

This article combines heterologous expression and in vitro studies to show that the flavin-dependent monooxygenase (FMO) TerC catalyzes the initial oxidative decarboxylation of 6-HM. The results demonstrate that the biosynthetic pathways of terrein and related(polychlorinated) congeners diverge after oxidative decarboxylation of the lactone precursor that is catalyzed by a conserved FMO and further indicate that early dehydration of the side chain is an essential step.

This article presents the synthesis and characterization of a hybrid vanadium-organic coordination polymer with robust magnetic order, a Curie temperature TC of ~110 K, a coercive field of ~5 Oe at 5 K, and a maximum mass magnetization of about half that of the benchmark ferrimagnetic vanadium(tetracyanoethylene)~₂ (V·(TCNE)~₂).

Article presents a general route to hybrid Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) Molecular Dynamics for complex systems using a polarizable embedding.

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

Article describes the high-quality, 887-Mb genome of jojoba assembled into 26 chromosomes with 23,490 protein-coding genes.

Article provides a general reweighting framework based on anisotropic diffusion maps for manifold learning that takes into account that the learning data set is sampled from a biased probability distribution. The authors show that their proposed framework can be used in many manifold learning techniques on data from both standard and enhanced sampling simulations.
