An evaluation of over 50 polyoxometalates (POMs) identified the complex NaH3[SiW11Ce(IV)O39] (NaH3(1)) as a selective and effective catalyst for the aerobic oxidation of formaldehyde to formic acid under very mild (including ambient) conditions. 183W NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and potentiometric titration establish that the catalyst is a monomer (Cs symmetry), 1, in solution, while X-ray crystallography (a = 12.9455(15) A, b = 13.2257(16) A, c = 14.5288(17) A, alpha = 81.408(2) degrees , beta = 85.618(2) degrees , gamma = 80.726(2) degrees , P, Z = 1, R1 = 5.79% based on 17244 independent reflections) and IR establish it to be a dimer (Ci symmetry), 1(2), in the solid state. Several lines of evidence, including the parabolic kinetic order in 1, nonlinear Arrhenius plot, independence of the rate on O2 pressure, presence of titratable H2O2 and HCO3H intermediates, and inhibition by conventional radical scavengers, all indicate the O2-based oxidations proceed by complex homolytic chemistry (autoxidation and Haber-Weiss radical-chain processes) likely initiated by protonated 1.

Previously published (NMe)[V(O)(μ-O)(pin)], has been shown to aerobically catalyze the oxidation of benzylic and allylic alcohols under mild conditions. Herein, we report syntheses of [V(O)(μ-O)(pin)] trimers, which are also active in OAD catalysis. Trimer formation requires an ammonium cation with at least two hydrogen atoms per cation (e.

The nanoscale environment within the void spaces of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can significantly influence the photoredox catalytic activity of encapsulated visible-light photoredox catalysts (PCs). To compare two isostructural PC@In-MOF systems, three cationic Ru(II) polypyridine complexes were successfully encapsulated within the mesoscale channels of the anionic framework of InTATB (HTATB = 4,4',4''--triazine-2,4,6-triyltribenzoic acid), which features a doubly interpenetrated framework structure. This encapsulation yielded three heterogenized visible-light PCs, RuL@InTATB, where L = 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 2,2'-bipyrazine (bpz).

Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) represents a useful tool to study exercise-related adaptations of muscle cells in vitro. Here, we examine the metabolic and secretory response of primary human muscle cells from metabolically healthy individuals to the EPS protocol reflecting the episodic nature of real-life exercise training. This intermittent EPS protocol alternates high-frequency stimulation periods with low-frequency resting periods.

Dietary intake has an important influence on rates of fuel use during exercise, but the extent to which short-term diet changes affect peak fat oxidation (PFO) and the intensity at which this occurs (Fat) is unknown. This study examined the impact of diet-induced changes in substrate availability on PFO and Fat and the expression of key lipid-regulatory genes and proteins in skeletal muscle. Forty moderately to well-trained males (27 ± 5 years, V̇O 56.

Dichloroacetate (DCA), as a pan-inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function. DCA decreases lactic acid synthesis, enhances mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and regulates aerobic glycolysis. During the last decade, more and more studies have found that disorders of energy metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction play a pivotal role in the development and progression of various diseases, and the role of DCA in cancer, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory diseases has been extensively explored in both basic and clinical studies.
