A simple, direct and selective spectrophotometric method for determination of vanadium is described. The present methodology is based on the strong oxidizing power of vanadium (V). Vanadium (V) selectively oxidizes leucocrystal violet (LCV) to crystal violet in the presence of phosphoric acid. The violet colored dye obtained shows maximum absorbance at 590 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0.06-0.6 μg ml(-1). The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are found to be 6.78×10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 0.0044 μg cm(-2), respectively. The proposed method is simple, direct, and sensitive. It has been successfully applied for the determination of vanadium in various environmental, biological and steel samples.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite its growing prevalence, no FDA-approved pharmacological treatments exist, leaving lifestyle modifications as the primary intervention. AFLD pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and inflammation, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches.

The demand for trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene [HFO-1234ze(E)] as a next-generation, low-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant is rising due to international restrictions on high-GWP refrigerants like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Catalytic dehydrofluorination of HFC-245fa offers a viable synthesis route for the production of HFO-1234ze(E), but the catalyst degradation under harsh acidic conditions remains a major challenge. In this study, a highly stable γ-AlO supported catalyst was developed for efficient dehydrofluorination with vanadium species exhibiting the highest activity among the screened metal ions Ni, V, Zn, La, Fe, Mn and Cu.

Using an Earth-abundant transition metal to mediate formation and splitting of C-C σ-bonds, in response to electrical stimuli, constitutes a promising strategy to construct complex organic skeletons. Here, we showcase how [ BuN][N] reacts with an isocyanide adduct of a tetrahedral and high-spin Ti complex, [(Tp )TiCl] (1), to enact N-atom transfer, C-N bond formation, and C-C coupling, to form a dinuclear complex, [(Tp )Ti{AdN(N)C-C(N)NAd}Ti(Tp )] (3), with two Ti ions bridged by a disubstituted oxalimidamide ligand ( Bu = -butyl, Tp = hydrotris(3--butyl-5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Ad = 1-adamantyl). Magnetic and computational studies reveal two magnetically isolated d Ti ions, and electrochemical studies unravel a reversible two-electron oxidation at -0.

Sodium vanadium fluorophosphate (NaV(PO)F, NVPF), a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries, exhibits high energy density and a stable voltage plateau, yet its practical application is hindered by intrinsic low electronic conductivity. Here, a medium-entropy engineering strategy is introduced to address this limitation by developing a novel NaFeMnCoNiV(PO)F@CNTs (ME-NVPF@CNTs) composite. The medium-entropy design synergistically optimizes structural stability and charge transport kinetics, while carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coating enhances surface conductivity.
