A new CdII-based luminescent metal–organic framework (LMOF) with the formula {[Cd(BIBT)(NDC)]·solvents}n (JXUST-32, BIBT = 4,7-bi(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzo-[2,1,3]thiadiazole and H2NDC = 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) was successfully synthesized by a solvothermal method. JXUST-32 shows a two-dimensional (4,4)-connected network and exhibits significant fluorescence red shift and slight enhancement for H2PO4− and CO32− sensing with detection limits of 0.11 and 0.12 μM, respectively. In addition, JXUST-32 has good thermal stability, chemical stability and recyclability. Significantly, JXUST-32 represents a fluorescence red-shift dual response MOF sensor for H2PO4− and CO32− detection and the analytes can be identified by the naked eye, aerosol jet printing filter paper, light-emitting diode beads and luminescent films.

In the practical application of microwave absorbing materials, traditional powder materials need to be mixed with the matrix to fabricate composite coatings. However, the complex preparation process of composite coatings and the uneven dispersion of powders in the matrix limit their application. To solve these problems, two-dimensional (2D) F-WS2/CP composite films were prepared by using carbon paper (CP) as a dispersion matrix and loading flower-like WS2 on its surface through a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology and microwave absorption (MA) performance of the composite films are easily regulated by adjusting the amount of reaction precursors. The combination of WS2 and CP facilitates impedance matching and improves the electromagnetic wave attenuation performance based on the synergistic effect of different loss mechanisms including multiple reflections and scattering, interfacial polarization, dipolar polarization, and conduction loss. At a low filler content (5 wt%), the maximum reflection loss (RL) of the composite film is up to -50 dB (99.999% energy absorption) at 12.5 GHz with 2.8 mm thickness. Moreover, at a relatively thin 1.8 mm thickness, its maximum RL remains -35 dB (>99.9% energy absorption). The as-prepared composite film shows excellent MA properties at a thinner thickness and lower filling content, providing inspiration for the preparation of light weight and efficient 2D thin-film microwave absorbers in the future.

In this work, we report on five novel coordination polymers (CPs) based on the linkage of the [Cd(6apic)2] building block [where 6apic = 6-aminopicolinate] by different bipyridine-type organic spacers, forming different coordination compounds with the following formulae: [Cd(μ-6apic)2]n (1), {[Cd(6apic)2(μ-bipy)]·H2O}n (2), {[Cd(6apic)2(μ-bpe)]·2H2O}n (3), [Cd(6apic)(μ-6apic)(μ-bpa)0.5]n (4) and {[Cd2(6apic)4(μ-tmbp)]·7H2O}n (5) [where bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene, bpa = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) and tmbp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane]. Most of the synthesized compounds form infinite metal–organic rods through the linkage of the building block by the bipyridine-type linker, except in the case of compound 4 whose assembly forms a densely packed 3D architecture. All compounds were fully characterized and their photoluminescence properties were studied experimentally and computationally through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. All compounds display, upon UV excitation, a similar blue emission of variable intensity depending on the linker employed for the connection of the building units, among which compound 2 deserves to be highlighted for its room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) with an emission lifetime of 32 ms that extends to 79 ms at low temperature. These good photoluminescence properties, in addition to its stability in water over a wide pH range (between 2 and 10), motivated us to study compound 2 as a sensor for the detection of metal ions in water, and it showed high sensitivity to Fe3+ through a fluorescence turn-off mechanism and an unspecific turn-on response to Zn2+. Furthermore, the compound is processed as a paper-based analytical device (PAD) in which the phosphorescence emission is preserved, improving the sensing capacity toward Fe3+ ions.

The development of flexible current collectors as an indispensable component in energy storage devices has been in strong demand for the ever-growing market of flexible and wearable electronics. Herein, flexible and conductive paper-based current collectors are fabricated by directly depositing a metallic Ni layer composed of spiny Ni nanospheres of 400 nm diameter on the surface of filter paper via electroless deposition. The metallic paper shows excellent electric and mechanical properties: the sheet resistance is 2.7 Ω cm−2 (R0 = 0.8 Ω cm−2) after 5000 bending cycles and the mass density is only 0.35 g cm−3. MnO2 is selected as an electrode active material to explore the role of flexible and conductive paper-based current collectors in supercapacitors. Electrochemical results reveal that the largest areal specific capacitance is 1095 mF cm−2 at 1 mA cm−2 and the excellent electrochemical performance can be attributed to the hierarchical porous fibre structure of paper and the lower contact resistance between the active material and the current collector. Note that the approach can be applied to an enlarged size of metallic conductive paper or textile, presenting a simple and feasible method to fabricate flexible current collectors in a large scale.

The combination of electron-deficient viologen ligands with electron-rich POMs is a typical acceptor–donor system that has recently received much attention. Under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, by introducing three symmetric viologen ligands into POM-based hybrid materials, we successfully constructed four POMs–viologen inorganic–organic hybrid compounds, namely (1,3-bcbpy)2·(δ-Mo8O26) (1) (1,3-bcbpy·2Cl = 1,1′-bis(3-carboxybenzyl)-4,4′-bipyridine dichloride), {CoII(1,4-bcbpy)2(H2O)2[H2(β-Mo8O26)]}·2H2O·2CH2O (2), (1,4-bcbpy)2·(δ-Mo8O26)·2H2O (3) (1,4-bcbpy·2Cl = 1,1′-bis(4-carboxybenzyl)-4,4′-bipyridine dichloride, CH2O = formaldehyde), and {CuII(1,1-pmbby)2(H2O)[H2(β-Mo8O26)2]}·5H2O·C2H7N (4) (1,1-pmbby·2Cl = 1,1′-[1,4-phenylbis(methylene)]bis-(4,4′-bipyridine)dichloride, C2H7N = dimethylamine). These four compounds exhibit different fascinating structures, especially compound 4 is a typical metal–organic framework. Compounds 1–4 exhibit good discoloration behaviors under various external stimuli. For example, compounds 1–4 showed a positive response to the irradiation from a 300 W Xe lamp. When a positive voltage was applied to the ECD based on compounds 1–4, 1/2/3/4-ECD underwent a significant color conversion. What's more, compound 4 also showed obvious discoloration results after heating. In a word, 1–4 are multifunctional discoloration materials under different external stimuli. In addition, the coated filter paper prepared based on compound 3 can be used as a new printing material medium and can be successfully applied in erasable inkless printing and dual anti-counterfeiting.

The effective integration of nanomaterials with underlying current collectors is a key factor affecting the performance of nonenzymatic glucose sensors, where an inappropriate integration structure often leads to poor electron transport and instability. In this work, a seamless integrated electrode was constructed by the in situ immobilizing of a nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) on a three-dimensional (3D) conductive nickel foam (NF) for highly sensitive and durable glucose sensing. Facilitated by a rapid microwave-assisted reaction, a robust interfacial interaction between the Ni-MOF and the substrate was established through in situ conversion from nickel oxide (NiO). The fabricated Ni-MOF/NF electrode exhibits an excellent limit of detection (LOD) of 2.65 μM and an impressive sensitivity (14.31 mA cm-2 mM-1) within the linear range (4-576 μM), which is significantly boosted compared with that of an electrode prepared by a typical drop-casting method (3.56 mA cm-2 mM-1 in 4-1836 μM). Characterization and electrochemical tests reveal that this integrated structure on the one hand contributes to fast electron transport and thus has enhanced sensitivity and on the other hand leads to exceptional durability with its structural integrity maintained under bending, shaking, and ultrasonication. Moreover, this seamless integration method was also employed to immobilize the Ni-MOF converted from the pre-chemically deposited NiO layer on another type of substrate, 3D carbon paper (CP), demonstrating the versatility of this facile strategy in creating diverse electrochemical electrodes for applications beyond glucose sensing.

A luminescent trimethylamine (TMA) sensor, PTMA-Ir, has been designed and synthesized through immobilizing a phosphorescent iridium(III) complex on a TMA-imprinted polymer. Detailed study shows that the quenching of phosphorescence of PTMA-Ir can serve as a reporter for the binding of TMA on the imprinting sites, thus providing a sensitive, selective, and rapid detection of TMA in both aqueous solutions and gaseous states. Loading PTMA-Ir on filter paper produced a deposition T-Ir, the phosphorescence of which is quenched within 5 s upon exposure to TMA vapor with detection limits of 9.0 ± 0.1 ppm under argon and 15.0 ± 0.1 ppm in an air atmosphere. This work provided an effective method for establishing an imprinting polymer-immobilized luminescent amine sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nowadays, the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has become a global consensus, and electrochemical CO2 reduction to provide high-value power fuel is one of the major technical approaches attracting significant research interests and application prospects. However, the inevitable hydrogen evolution reaction in water-based electrolyte systems crowds out the reactive sites of active metals, causing a low CO2 conversion efficiency. In this work, Zn nanosheets were prepared via electrodeposition on the surface of carbon paper and then modified with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to tune the wetting angle of the electrolyte. A CO faradaic efficiency of 90.2% was achieved for Zn NS-8% PTFE (contact angle: 136.8°) at the electrolytic voltage of −1.0 V vs. RHE along with an overall current density of −7.9 mA cm−2. Experimental results and molecular dynamics simulation revealed that PTFE weakened the aggregation of H2O molecules and was more beneficial for capturing and adsorbing CO2 molecules near the electrode surface. The active sites of hydrogen production were transformed into the reaction center for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction due to the hydrophobicity of the electrode, and the accumulation of the local CO2 concentration accelerated the kinetic activity for electrochemical conversion (CO2 to CO). This strategy of tuning the local environment offers an alternative approach for effective electrode manufacturing in liquid electrolytes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Leukocyte esterase (LE) is a useful marker that can be used in establishing a diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs). The development of a UTI diagnostic method with quantitative determinations of biomarkers across all age groups is becoming more important. In this report, microfluidic resistance sensors based on silver ink (Ag ink) and silver ink mixed with ZnO nanoparticles (Ag-ZnO ink) were synthesized and coated on cellulose paper, namely LE-Ag-μPADs and LE-Ag-ZnO-μPADs, respectively, for the sensitive detection of LE. The microfluidic design increases the precision of data and further allows for quantitative determination and early detection of LE in human urine. The quantification of LE relies on the change in the resistance readout coating with Ag ink as well as Ag-ZnO ink in the detection zone. A mixture of 3-(N-tosyl- L -alaninyloxy)-5-phenylpyrrole (PE) and 1-diazo-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (DAS) was deposited in the sample zone to selectively recognize LE, and the resulting nonconductive products, i.e., azo compounds, further reacted with the Ag ink and Ag-ZnO ink to increase resistance. The quantitative detectable LE concentrations between 2 to 32 (×5.2 U mL−1), i.e. ≈12 to 108 μg L−1, cover the commercial dipstick range of trace, +1 and +2. The minimum detectable concentration of LE in urine was 1 (×5.2 U mL−1). The lower concentrations of LE detectable by LE-Ag-μPADs (1–8 × 5.2 U mL−1) are below the value achieved with the ELISA LE kit. Urine samples from inpatients with indwelling urinary catheters were used, and the LE levels measured by the present device were highly correlated with those determined by a commercial urine analyser.

Here, we present a new diacetoxy-functionalized UiO-66 metal–organic framework (MOF) for the trace level detection of hydrazine in water. The MOF material (1) was solvothermally prepared by the reaction between ZrOCl2·8H2O and 2,5-diacetoxy-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2BDC–(OCOCH3)2). The desolvated material (1′) showed a highly selective fluorescent turn-on signal towards hydrazine in water, which can be visualized by the naked eye under a UV lamp. Within 1 min of hydrazine addition, there was 14-fold fluorescence enhancement. The probe can detect hydrazine up to the nanomolar level (detection limit = 78.8 nM) in water. This detection limit is the lowest among MOF-based fluorescent probes for hydrazine. The material was also utilized for the sensing of hydrazine in paper strips and environmental water samples. Hydrazine-selective deprotection of ester groups anchored with the ligand is the principal reason behind the switch-on nature of sensing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The urea oxidation reaction (UOR), which possesses a low theoretical potential and superior kinetics, is an attractive substitute for the anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in overall water splitting; however, the implementation of hydrogen production in overall urea splitting is impeded by the deficiency of highly efficient, durable and cost-effective catalysts. Herein, we fabricated an Ni2P–MoP2 heterostructure with a hierarchical structure grown on carbon paper (Ni–Mo–P/CP), which exhibited robust activity and outstanding durability for the electrocatalytic oxidation of urea. The Ni–Mo–P/CP catalyst possessed an ultralow potential of 1.39 V to obtain the current density of 100 mA cm−2, small Tafel slope (27 mV dec−1) and long-term durability with almost no decay within 15 h. The experimental characterization revealed that the optimized electronic structure and the synergistic effect of abundant exposed active sites in the Ni–Mo–P/CP catalyst contribute to the efficient UOR catalytic activity. This work enriches the candidate catalysts for the UOR and promotes the industrial development of hydrogen production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An effective pathway to cope with the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is to accelerate the electron transfer kinetics. Transition metal with high valence states doping can accelerate the reaction kinetics to afford high inherent activity. Herein, a novel trimetallic NiFeCr nanoalloy as an OER electrocatalyst is synthesized by replacing partial Fe in the Ni3Fe alloy with Cr. In the OER process, Cr leached from the surface layer of the NiFeCr alloy to form a core–shell NiFeCr@NiFeOOH structure. The electrons from the OER intermediates were significantly accelerated by the high-valence Cr6+ as an electron acceptor at the core–shell interface. As a result, NiFeCr@NiFeOOH exhibited excellent OER performances with a low overpotential of 209 mV at 25 mA cm−2 in 1.0 M KOH on conductive carbon paper, outperforming the Ni3Fe alloy without Cr doping. Our work provides a new strategy to design and synthesize the NiFe-based alloy with high OER activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new microfluidic paper-based analytical device, a (Ag-μPAD)-based chemiresistor composed of silver ink, has been developed for the selective, sensitive, and quantitative determination of nitrite ions in environmental analysis. The silver ink acts as an efficient transducer in terms of resistance changes due to nitrite initiating a diazo reaction and further reacting with the ink. The silver ink is synthesized onto the μPADs by pulsed light sintering from silver nanoparticles, a mixture of silver nanowires and nanoparticles. The resistance changes show two linear response ranges to nitrite in the concentration ranges of 1.0 × 10−8 M to 5.0 × 10−6 M and 1.0 × 10−5 M to 3.2 × 10−3 M, with a limit of detection of 8.5 × 10−11 M (S/N = 3). The sensor displays a wider linear range, a lower detection limit, a higher stability, high selectivity, low-volume sampling, and disposability for nitrite with respect to other nanoparticle- and paper-based sensors. The characterization of silver ink was verified by SEM, EDS, and IR studies, and the sensing mechanism is discussed. In addition, this paper-based sensor has been successfully employed to determine the nitrite content in tap, river and lake water samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Searching and developing earth-abundant electrocatalysts with predominant activity and favorable stability are significant to resolve increasing environmental pollution and serious energy crisis. In this paper, Mo-based nanowire arrays (NWAs) were synthesized on carbon fiber paper (CFP), and then Ru–MoP NWAs/CFP was successfully assembled through impregnation of Ru and phosphorization. The as-obtained Ru–MoP NWAs/CFP exhibited excellent performance over a broad pH range. As a result, overpotentials of 39.0, 49.9, and 67.1 mV were required to reach the current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 0.5 M H2SO4, 1 M KOH, and 1 M PBS, respectively. The outstanding performance of Ru–MoP NWAs/CFP is mainly related to the introduction of Ru and P atoms, which may enhance the conductivity of the catalyst and develop additional HER active sites. Our work may afford a novel designing approach to develop high performance HER electrocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The fabrication of noble metal free catalysts with excellent performance and high stability by a simple, efficient, general and low-cost approach remains an urgent task for solving the problem of resource shortage. Herein, Cu-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) immobilized on commercial filter papers were used as pyrolysis precursors to synthesize CuxO@C at various calcination temperatures. Notably, the resultant CuxO@C-400 exhibits an excellent catalytic performance toward the reaction of reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP). By virtue of the large specific surface area, well-developed porosity, good stability and high dispersity of CuxO nanoparticles, the obtained CuxO@C-400 could complete the reduction reaction within 11 min with a large apparent rate constant κapp value (4.8 × 10−3 s−1). Our strategy therefore opens a new avenue for the preparation of low-cost and high-performance noble metal free catalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ti2AlC has been investigated for several decades, but much less attention has been paid to its delamination and potential energy storage applications, mainly due to the difficulty of delamination and its oxidation features. Herein, a new path to enhance exfoliation and delamination of two-dimensional (2D) Ti2CTx MXene is used. By using an etchant of HCl + LiF, multilayer Ti2CTx is easy to obtain. With only the assistance of mild sonication for 1.5 h without any additional intercalation, two-dimensional (2D) Ti2CTx flake suspensions are produced. Subsequently, the as-fabricated stable suspensions of delaminated Ti2CTx flakes are combined with carbon nanotubes. After filtration, a two-dimensional layered Ti2CTx/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposite “paper” is prepared. Owing to the larger specific area of MXene flakes, which is caused by the complete exfoliation of MXene, with carbon nanotubes assisting with structural support between layers to prevent restacking, this structure provides a rapid charge transfer path during electrochemical reactions. When the nanocomposite paper is used as a lithium ion battery anode, it exhibits a higher capacitance and better cycling stability (a reversible capacity of 155.5 mA h g−1 at 100 mA g−1 after 200 cycles). Moreover, the “paper” can be directly used for electrodes in supercapacitors; the calculated capacitances are 515.3 F g−1 and 694 F cm−3 at a scanning rate of 2 mV s−1. The facile synthesis of layered Ti2C MXene/carbon nanotube nanocomposite paper provides a more secure and easy way to fabricate promising energy storage materials, and creates wider opportunities for exploiting the potential of other MXenes.

In this work, we present a Ag@Au nanoprism-metal–organic framework-paper based glucose sensor for rapid, sensitive, single-use and quantitative glucose determination in human serum. To achieve painless measurement of glucose with a non-invasive detection methodology, this biosensor was further tested in human urine. In this approach, a new hybrid-Ag@Au nanoprism loaded in close proximity to micrometer sized coordination polymers as phosphorescent luminophores significantly enhanced the emission intensity due to metal-enhanced phosphorescence and worked as reaction sites to support more dissolved oxygen. Reports of enhanced phosphorescence intensity are relatively rare, especially at room temperature. The true enhancement factor of Ag@Au-phosphorescent metal–organic frameworks on paper was deduced to be 110-fold, making it a better optical type glucose meter. The results demonstrate the validity of the intensity enhancement effect of the excitation of the overlap of the emission band of a luminophore with the surface plasmon resonance band of Ag@Au nanoprisms. Ag@Au nanoprisms were used not only to improve the detection limit of glucose sensing but also to extend the glucose sensing range by enhancing the oxygen oxidation efficiency. The oxidation of glucose as glucose oxidase is accompanied by oxygen consumption, which increases the intensity of the phosphorescence emission. The turn-on type paper-based biosensor exhibits a rapid response (0.5 s), a low detection limit (0.038 mM), and a wide linear range (30 mM to 0.05 mM), as well as good anti-interference, long-term longevity and reproducibility. Finally, the biosensor was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in human serum and urine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Forged products are widespread in the market and there is an immediate need to counter this growing menace. Anti-counterfeit techniques using fluorescent materials with covert features that appear hidden under daylight and display characteristic fluorescence upon specific source irradiation have gained popularity. Carbon dots (CDs) that can be prepared through facile synthesis from various raw materials are a class of fluorescent materials that provide tremendous opportunities to combat counterfeiting. This work focuses on the fabrication of perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) derived CDs via the solvothermal approach and their subsequent purification using column chromatography. The fifth fraction obtained exhibited remarkable yellow emission (λem = 540 nm) with a high fluorescence quantum yield of 53.22% and a lifetime of 4 ns. The CDs appeared quasi-spherical during TEM imaging with an average diameter of 1–3 nm and appeared polycrystalline from the SAED pattern. The XPS and TEM-EDS results suggested carbon as the major element along with oxygen and nitrogen as the other heteroatoms. The water-based ecofriendly ink formulated using the CDs was printed on UV dull paper using the flexography technique. The print-proof paper samples appeared pale pink under daylight and fluorescent yellow upon 365 nm UV illumination. Moreover, the stability of the print was confirmed upon exposure to strong UV radiation cycles and abrasion resistance. Besides, the fluorescence emission remained unaltered even after 5 months of storage under room temperature conditions. The ink was used to print on PVC sheets and FBB boards with good stability against scuffing, suggesting its applicability in the packaging industry. The CDs could also serve as fluorescent markers for identifying post-consumer plastic packaging for a circular economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducing the sophisticated morphologies and structures of natural substances into artificial materials provides a promising strategy for the fabrication of functional materials with tailored structures and functionalities. Herein, our recent advances achieved in the fabrication of hierarchically structured functional materials derived from natural cellulose substances (e.g., ordinary laboratory filter paper) for lithium-ion batteries are reviewed. The surface sol–gel process was employed to fabricate metal oxides (Sn, Ti, Fe, etc.), silica and silicon based nanocomposites by using the corresponding metal alkoxides as the precursors, which faithfully inherited the unique porous network structures of the initial cellulose substances. However, the nanomaterials synthesized as such are limited to the above-mentioned species due to the limitation of specific metal alkoxide precursors used. To break this limitation, specific polyoxometalate clusters were employed as the building blocks to be assembled onto the surfaces of cellulose nanofibres and eventually to obtain the corresponding molybdenum based nanomaterials with three-dimensional porous network structures and specific properties. These cellulose derived nanocomposites exhibit improved lithium storage capacities and cycling stabilities when applied as anodic materials for lithium-ion batteries, resulting from the unique hierarchically porous network structures inherited from the initial cellulose substance and the strong synergistic interactions among the components contained therein.

Utilizing the phase transition principle of VO2, this paper presents a tunable ultra-wideband terahertz perfect absorption device with simple structure and tunability. The proposed broadband terahertz perfect absorption device is a three-layer structure with a metal reflective layer, a silicon dioxide dielectric layer and a VO2 layer from bottom to top. It was found that the terahertz perfect absorption device's absorption could be dynamically adjusted from 1.2% to 99.9% when changing from an insulated to a metallic state. With the VO2 in the metallic state, the terahertz perfect absorption device has an absorption efficiency of more than 90% in 4.00 to 10.08 THz's ultra-broadband range and near-perfect absorption is achieved in the ranges of 4.71 THz to 5.16 THz and 7.74 THz to 8.06 THz. To explain the working principle of this terahertz perfect absorption device, this paper utilizes wave interference's principle, theory of impedance matching and electric field analysis. Compared to previously reported terahertz metamaterial devices, the vanadium dioxide device proposed in this paper is significantly optimized in terms of tunable range and absorption bandwidth. In addition, the terahertz perfect absorption device is polarization insensitive and maintains good absorptivity over a wide-angle incidence range. This tunable ultra-wideband terahertz perfect absorption device could have applications in the fields of modulation, stealth devices, and thermal emission devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mo-nitrogenase hydrogenates N2 to NH3. This report continues from the previous paper [I. Dance, Dalton Trans., 2024, 53, 14193–14211] that described how the active site FeMo-co of the enzyme is uniquely able to capture and activate N2, forming a key intermediate with Fe-bound HNNH. Density functional simulations with a 485+ atom model of the active site and its surroundings are used to describe here the further reactions of this HNNH intermediate. The first step is hydrogenation to form HNNH2 bridging Fe2 and Fe6. Then a single-step reaction breaks the N–N bond, generating an Fe2–NH–Fe6 bridge and forming NH3 bound to Fe6. Then NH3 dissociates from Fe6. Reaction potential energies and kinetic barriers for all steps are reported for the most favourable electronic states of the system. The steps that follow the Fe2–NH–Fe6 intermediate, forming and dissociating the second NH3, and regenerating the resting state of the enzyme, are outlined. These results provide an interpretation of the recent steady-state kinetics data and analysis by Harris et al., [Biochemistry, 2022, 61, 2131–2137] who found a slow step after the formation of the HNNH intermediate. The calculated potential energy barriers for the HNNH2 → NH + NH3 reaction (30–36 kcal mol−1) are larger than the potential energy barriers for the N2 → HNNH reaction (19–29 kcal mol−1). I propose that the post-HNNH slow step identified kinetically is the key HNNH2 → NH + NH3 reaction described here. This step and the N2-capture step are the most difficult in the conversion of N2 to 2NH3. The steps in the complete mechanism still to be computationally detailed are relatively straightforward.

Photosystem I/dithiol molecular wire/nanoparticle bioconjugates have been shown to photocatalytically generate dihydrogen at linear rates when continuously illuminated. In an effort to maximize H2production, the pH and ionic concentration of the solution, the mobility of the electron donor, the length and degree of saturation of the molecular wire, and the intensity of the light were systematically investigated. Optimal conditions included a solution buffered at pH 6.0, cross-linked plastocyanin, rebuilt spinach PS I, and the use of 1,4-benzenedithiol to connect PS I to the Pt nanoparticle. Illumination of this optimized Photosystem I/dithiol molecular wire/nanoparticle bioconjugate at a light intensity of 70 μE m−2s−1generated a measured one time H2production rate of 312 μmol H2mg Chl−1h−1.

Ligating properties of a tripodal, potentially tetradentate aminetris(phenol) ligand, tris(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)amine, H3L, containing [N,O,O,O] donor atoms toward the vanadium ions in +iiiand ivoxidation states have been studied. The structures of complexes 1[LVIII(CH3OH)]0, 2[LVIV(OCH3)]0and 3[LVIV(acac)]0were determined by X-ray diffraction methods as having five-coordinate V(iii), 1, five-coordinate non-oxo-vanadium(iv), 2, and six-coordinate non-oxo-vanadium(iv) 3, respectively. Compounds 1–3were also studied with electrochemical methods, variable-temperature (2–295 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The electrochemical results of 2and 3suggest metal-centered oxidation, i.e.the generation of a VV-phenolate species. EPR investigations indicate a (dxy)1ground state showing a considerable increase in the in-plane π-bonding, as is expected for a phenolate ligand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

2-Aminomethylaniline was converted into the N,N′-bis(pivaloyl) (1) or -bis(trimethylsilyl) (2) derivative, using 2 ButC(O)Cl or 2 Me3SiCl ( RCl), respectively, with 2 NEt3, or for 2from successively using 2 LiBunand 2 RCl. N,N′-Bis(neopentyl)-2-(aminomethyl)aniline (3) was prepared by LiAlH4reduction of 1. From 2or 3and 2 LiBun, the appropriate dilitiodiamide {2-[{N(Li)R}C6H4{CH2N(Li)R}(L)]2(L absent, 4a; or L = THF, 4b) or the N,N′-bis(neopentyl) analogue (5) of 4awas prepared. Treatment of 4awith 2 ButNC, 2 (2,6-Me2C6H3NC) or 2 ButCN ( L′) furnished the corresponding adduct [2-N{Li(L′)R}C6H4{CH2N(Li)R}] (4c, 4dor 4e, respectively), whereas 4bwith 2 PhCN afforded [2-{N(Li)R}C6H4{CH2C(Ph) = NLi(NCPh)}] (6). The dimeric bis(amido)stannylene [Sn{N(R)C6H4(CH2NR)-1,2}]2(7) was obtained from 4aand [Sn(μ-Cl)NR2]2, while the N,N′-bis(neopentyl) analogue 8of 7was similarly derived from [Sn(μ-Cl)NR2]2and 5. Reaction of two equivalents of the diamine 2with Pb(NR2)2yielded 9, the lead homologue of 7. Oxidative addition of sulfur to 7led to the dimeric bis(diamido)tin sulfide 10. Treatment of 2successively with ‘MgBu2’ in C5H12and THF gave [Mg{N(R)C6H4(CH2NR)}(THF)]2(11a), which by displacement of its THF by an equivalent portion of ButCN or PhCN produced [Mg{N(R)C6H4(CH2NR)}(CNR')n] [R′ = But, n= 1 (11b); R′ = Ph, n= 2 (11c)]. The Ca (12), Sr (13) or Ba (14) analogues of the Mg compound 11awere isolated from 2and either the appropriate compound M(NR2)2(M = Ca, Sr, Ba), or successively 2 LiBunand 2 M(OTos)2.
