Article Abstract

The synthesis, crystal structures, and Raman spectra of seven plutonium chloride compounds are presented. The materials are based upon Pu(VI)O2Cl4(2-) and Pu(IV)Cl6(2-) anions that are charge balanced by protonated pyridinium cations. The single crystal X-ray structures show a variety of donor-acceptor interactions between the plutonium perhalo anions and the cationic pyridine groups. Complementary Raman spectra show that these interactions can be probed through the symmetric vibrational mode of the plutonyl moiety. Unlike previously reported studies in similar uranyl(VI) systems, the facile redox chemistry of plutonium in aqueous solution has demonstrated the feasibility of using not only the An(VI)O2Cl4(2-) anion with approximate D4h symmetry but also the approximately Oh An(IV)Cl6(2-) anion in order to manipulate both the structure and dimensionality of such hybrid materials.

The phase transformation of single-element systems is a fundamental natural process with broad implications, yet many aspects remain puzzling despite their simplicity. For instance, transition metals, Tantalum (Ta) and Zirconium (Zr), commonly form body-centred cubic crystals when supercooled. However, according to large-scale computer simulations, their crystallisation rates can differ by over 100 times.

Within the bone microenvironment, the intricate interplay and regulation among matrix components form a complex network. Disentangling this network is crucial for uncovering potential therapeutic targets in bone pathology. Osteocalcin (OCN), the most abundant non-collagenous bone protein, is an essential node within this network.

A series of Ni-MOF materials were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method under different reaction conditions, including metal source, organic ligand, reaction time and reaction temperature. The results demonstrated that the Ni-MOFs synthesized with Ni(NO3)2•6H2O as the metal source had higher crystallinity and a more uniform crystalline structure than those with NiCl2•6H2O. Different organic ligands led to the formation of Ni-MOFs in various morphologies.

This review describes new strategies in the use of multifunctional organic alkalizers (OA) for the fabrication of advanced functional materials. OA facilitate solubilization and delivery of poorly solubilized drugs through the formation of drug-OA complexes and supramolecular gels. OA are applied for the synthesis of materials for biomedical, energy storage, catalytic, photovoltaic, sensor, and electronic applications.

Azo dyes, prevalent in various industries, including textile dyeing, food, and cosmetics, pose significant environmental and health risks due to their chemical stability and toxicity. This study introduces the synthesis and application of a copper hydrogen-π-bonded benzoate framework (Cu-HBF) and its derived marigold flower-like copper oxide (MFL-CuO) in a synergetic adsorption-photocatalytic process for efficiently removing cationic azo dyes from water, specifically crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The Cu-HBF, previously available only in single crystal form, is prepared here as a crystalline powder for the first time, using a low-cost and facile procedure, allowing its application as an adsorbent and also serving as a precursor for synthesizing well-structured copper oxide (MFL-CuO).
