Isolation of CO from acetylene (C H ) via CO -selective sorbents is an energy-efficient technology for C H purification, but a strategic challenge due to their similar physicochemical properties. There is still no specific methodology for constructing sorbents that preferentially trap CO over C H . We report an effective strategy to construct optimal pore chemistry in a Ce -based ultramicroporous metal-organic framework Ce -MIL-140-4F, based on charge-transfer effects, for efficient inverse CO /C H separation. The ligand-to-metal cluster charge transfer is facilitated by Ce with low-lying unoccupied 4f orbitals and electron-withdrawing F atoms functionalized tetrafluoroterephthalate, affording a perfect pore environment to match CO . The exceptional CO uptake (151.7 cm cm ) along with remarkable separation selectivities (above 40) set a new benchmark for inverse CO /C H separation, which is verified via simulated and experimental breakthrough experiments. The unique CO recognition mechanism is further unveiled by in situ powder X-ray diffraction experiments, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy measurements, and molecular calculations.

was identified in human and mouse Huntington's disease brain as the pathogenic exon 1 mRNA generated from aberrant splicing between exon 1 and 2 of that contributes to aggregate formation and neuronal dysfunction. Detection of the huntingtin exon 1 protein (HTT1a) has been accomplished with Meso Scale Discovery, Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence and immunoprecipitation assays in Huntington's disease knock-in mice, but direct detection in homogenates by gel electrophoresis and western blot assay has been lacking. Subcellular fractions prepared from mouse and human Huntington's disease brain were separated by gel electrophoresis and probed by western blot with neoepitope monoclonal antibodies 1B12 and 11G2 directed to the C-terminal eight residues of HTT1a.

The challenge of photocatalytic hydrogen production has motivated a targeted search for MXenes as a promising class of materials for this transformation because of their high mobility and high light absorption. High-throughput screening has been widely used to discover new materials, but the relatively high cost limits the chemical space for searching MXenes. We developed a deep-learning-enabled high-throughput screening approach that identified 14 stable candidates with suitable band alignment for water splitting from 23 857 MXenes.

Background: Numerous studies have investigated the correlation between psoriasis and venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the findings have not been entirely conclusive. The objective of this study was to assess the association between psoriasis and the risk of VTE by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis, complemented by Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate potential causality.

Porous organic cages (POCs) have emerged as promising porous materials for a wide range of applications. However, their development is often limited by insufficient chemical stability and challenges in systematically functionalization. Herein, we reported the design and synthesis of a tetrazine-based POC (TC1) featuring rigid tetrahedral structure, prepared via a one-pot nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction.

Incorporating boron atoms into organic macrocycles imparts unique chemical, electronic, and optical properties. The concept of making use of dative boron-nitrogen (B ← N) bonds for the construction of macrocycles has been proposed, but very few examples have been prepared with functional structures, much less pillar-like and other prismatic macrocycles, and their various functionalities have not been fully exploited. Here, we introduce a "functional molecular wall" synthetic protocol based on the self-assembly characteristics of B ← N dative bonds to construct highly symmetrical macrocycles, forming a quasi-pentagonal-shaped macrocycle (named [5]pyBN-) with a pillar-like structure.
