Article Abstract

We use an on-surface synthesis approach to drive the homocoupling reaction of a simple dithiophenyl-functionalized precursor on Cu(111). The C-S activation reaction is initiated at low annealing temperature and yields unsaturated hydrocarbon chains interconnected in a fully conjugated reticulated network. High-resolution atomic force microscopy imaging reveals the opening of the thiophenyl rings and the presence of trans- and cis-oligoacetylene chains as well as pentalene units. The chemical transformations were studied by C 1s and S 2p core level photoemission spectroscopy and supported by theoretical calculations. At higher annealing temperature, additional cyclization reactions take place, leading to the formation of small graphene flakes.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO) is crucial for infant nutrition; however, conventional immobilized lipase requires high-purity enzymes, which increases costs and limits industrial scalability. Herein, Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) was immobilized on surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) technology to produce FeO@SiO@TPOAC@RML CLEAs. This approach combines the separation and immobilization of enzymes, allowing for the use of lower-purity lipase, which enhances its suitability for industrial-scale processes.

Coral reefs are threatened worldwide from unprecedented increases in ocean temperatures, resulting in corals gradually living closer to their maximum thermal threshold. With ocean temperatures expected to warm up to 3 °C by 2100, understanding the effects of chronic elevated baseline temperature is important in determining the thermal physiological limits of corals and developing realistic restoration strategies to ensure the future of coral reefs. Here, we tested the effects of 26 weeks (i.

Bottom-up on-surface synthesis has demonstrated an impressive capability to realize desired carbon nanomaterials with atomic precision, also referred to as carbon nanoarchitectures. By using chemically tailored organic building blocks, it is possible to obtain virtually any carbon nanoarchitecture, with equally tunable electronic and magnetic properties. Among all known carbon nanoarchitectures, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have become the most extensively studied for nanoelectronics, due to their conductive π-conjugated structure and semiconducting nature.

Macrophytes in lowland rivers have traditionally been studied with a focus on surface water chemistry, particularly nutrients. However, unlike in lakes, the relationship between macrophytes and surface water nutrients in rivers is generally weaker, especially in highly alkaline lowland rivers, which are often found more downstreams. In these systems, elevated sediment nutrient levels may better explain macrophyte community compositions than surface water nutrients alone.

Dietary bioactive compounds (DBCs) play a critical role in promoting health, but their low bioavailability presents significant challenges for effective oral delivery. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising carriers for DBCs due to their high loading capacity, tunable pore sizes, and ease of functional modification. This review examines the potential of MOFs as oral delivery systems for DBCs, with a focus on their safety, compatibility, and stability in food applications.
