Article Abstract

Pyrazine (pyz) has been used extensively in coordination chemistry to manifest electron delocalization in mixed-valent compounds and strongly coupled materials. In the current work, using a Yb precursor, [(CHMe)Yb(THF)] (), a molecular square [(CHMe)Yb(pyz)]·/(CHF) () was synthesized by metal-ligand redox cooperativity. Complex shows evidence of charge transfer from Yb to pyrazine in a range of studies including structural analysis, magnetometry, vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, and electronic structure calculations. DFT calculations support the assignment of low-energy bands in the UV-vis spectrum as pyrazine-SOMO-to-metal-4f charge transfer. Magnetic studies reveal a Yb-pyz exchange coupling of -3.6 cm and pyz-pyz coupling of -18.6 cm for the radical bridged Yb-square complex.

Supporting the transition from pediatric to adult oncology presents challenges for all stakeholders, including adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients, their parents, pediatric oncologists, and medical oncologists. In this article, we describe the different stages of this transition and the transfer of care, the obstacles to the transition, and potential solutions. We discuss the contribution of AYA care in oncology through collaborations between pediatric and medical oncologists, and the importance of multidisciplinary support for patient empowerment.

The development of high-performance, cost-effective non-noble metal catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical to advancing sustainable hydrogen production via water electrolysis. Herein, we report a facile and mild strategy for synthesizing amorphous bimetallic organic framework materials (NiFe-MOFs) using pyridine-modified threonine (l-PyThr) as an organic ligand. The optimized NiFe-PyThr-4:1 catalyst exhibits remarkable OER activity, requiring low overpotentials of only 162 and 222 mV to achieve current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm, respectively, along with a small Tafel slope of 34.

Electrochemical sensors capable of detecting different types of biomolecules using a single electrode are highly desirable for simplifying analytical platforms and expanding their practical applicability. Herein, we develop a multifunctional electrochemical sensor based on a 3D honeycomb-like porous rGO/PPy-POM composite film for the independent detection of dopamine (DA) and folic acid (FA), two chemically distinct and clinically relevant biomolecules. The electrode is fabricated through a facile, low-cost, and environmentally friendly breath figure method to create a 3D porous reduced graphene oxide (rGO) framework, followed by codeposition of polypyrrole (PPy) and polyoxometalates (POMs).

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are distinguished by their structural diversity, tunable electronic properties, and exceptional performance in various applications. Notably, the electron-donating ability of ligands significantly enhances the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) processes within these frameworks, thereby promoting efficient charge migration. Herein, we developed two electron-rich macrocyclic ligands derived from phenothiazine- and phenoxazine-functionalized calix[3]arenes, alongside their corresponding cobalt-coordinated MOFs.

Conventional acid-catalyzed acetalization faces significant challenges in catalyst recovery and poses environmental concerns. Herein, we develop a CeO-supported Pd single-atom catalyst (Pd/CeO) that eliminates the reliance on liquid acids by creating a localized H-rich microenvironment through heterolytic H activation. X-ray absorption near-edge structure and extended X-ray absorption fine structure analyses confirm the atomic dispersion of Pd via Pd-O-Ce coordination, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) that facilitate electron transfer from CeO oxygen to Pd, downshifting the Pd d-band center and optimizing H activation.
