Article Abstract

Three new polyoxomolybdate-based complexes functionalized with organic carboxylic acid ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized: Na[CNH][(MoO)(MoO)(HCO)(HO)]·2HO (complex ); [CNH][(MoO)(MoO)(HCO)] (complex ); and [CNH][(MoO)(HCO)]·2HO (complex ). Complexes - were obtained via condensation reactions between the organic carboxylic acid ligands and the [MoO(HO)] precursor. Each complex features [MoO(HO)] cores, organic carboxylate moieties, and protonated guanidiniums ([CNH]) as structural components. Notably, complexes - exhibit extensive hydrogen-bonding networks, contributing to their remarkable proton conductivity. Under the conditions of 50 °C and 90% relative humidity, complexes - demonstrated proton conductivities of 3.52 × 10, 9.78 × 10, and 1.87 × 10 S cm, respectively. Furthermore, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) analysis revealed the surface charge distribution of the polyoxometalate (POM) anion clusters. Combined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, these analyses elucidated potential proton transfer sites and the conduction pathway.

Iron-based photocatalysis has emerged as a sustainable and versatile platform for facilitating a wide range of chemical transformations, offering an appealing alternative to precious metal photocatalysts. Among the various activation modes, ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT)-driven homolysis of Fe(III)-L(ligand) bonds has garnered considerable attention due to its ability to generate reactive radical species under mild conditions, without requiring the matching of substrates' redox potentials. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of recent developments in LMCT-driven iron photocatalysis, with a particular focus on both mechanistic insights and synthetic applications published in the last five years.

Recently photoinduced dynamic ligation in a metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was reported, where a long-lived charge-transfer excited state (ca. 30 μs) featuring partial dissociation between the carboxylate linker and metal-based node was probed by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy. The study offers a new mechanistic perspective to evaluate the potential contribution from the excited state molecular configuration to the performance of MOF photocatalysts.

Changes in the body's natural glucose levels have been associated with the onset of diabetes mellitus. It is frequently accompanied by a number of long-term consequences, including cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and cataracts. Aldose reductase (AR), an enzyme belonging to the aldoketo reductase superfamily, plays a crucial role in the polyol pathway of glucose metabolism by converting glucose into sorbitol.

Difenoconazole (DFC) is a commonly used triazole fungicide known for its high efficiency and environmental persistence. A thorough understanding of its environmental behavior, particularly sorption in soil, is critical to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the ecological risk of DFC. In this study, three soils with distinct physicochemical properties (brown soil, cinnamon soil, and fluvo-aquic soil) were used to elucidate the adsorption mechanisms of DFC on soil.
