Summary: The energetically low-lying Zundel-Eigen isomers of the protonated water hexamer were studied using high-level ab initio calculations with zero-point corrections. A stable intermediate isomer consisting of a four-membered ring with two single acceptor water molecules was found during the Zundel-Eigen isomerization. Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations with anharmonic vibrational effects showed well-defined structures for all three isomers of H+(H2O)(6) and D+(D2O)(6). The energetic ordering of the isomers changed upon deuteration, and the implications for the vibrational spectra of H+(H2O)(6) and D+(D2O)(6) were discussed.

Summary: In this study, size-specific infrared spectra of neutral water nonamer (H2O)9 were obtained using threshold photoionization and a tunable vacuum ultraviolet free-electron laser. The spectra revealed distinctive OH stretch vibrational fundamentals, providing unique spectral signatures for the formation of an unprecedented (H2O)9 structure. This structure coexists with five previously identified structures, shedding light on the formation and growth mechanism of hydrogen-bonding networks in condensed-phase water.

Summary: FeMo6, a polyoxometalate containing Fe3+ and Mo6+, was discovered as an oxidase-mimicking nanoenzyme for the first time, showing catalytic oxidation ability towards o-phenylenediamine and other substrates. A novel sensor for dopamine detection was developed based on the FeMo6-OPD system. The FeMo6@rGO composite enhanced the oxidase-mimic activity of FeMo6, with the FeMo6@rGO (10%) showing the highest activity and fastest response time among known DA oxidase mimics.

Summary: In this study, the chaotropic effect of reduced molybdate ions in acidified aqueous solution was shown to significantly amplify weak supramolecular interactions, leading to the formation of large aggregates of molybdenum-blue oligomeric species and gamma-cyclodextrin. Time-resolved Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) analysis revealed the rapid formation of nanoscopic {Mo-154}-based host-guest species, while X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of an unprecedented three-component well-ordered core-shell-like motif. This work provides insights into self-assembly processes and offers new opportunities for designing complex multicomponent materials through non-covalent chemistry simplicity.

Summary: We invented dual-emissive single-benzene fluorophores that can emit light at different wavelengths simultaneously. This was achieved by modulating the hydrogen bond acidity to generate two emissive tautomers with excited-state proton transfer pathways. The white light emitted by these fluorophores relies on the delicate balance between the energy and intensity of each tautomer's emission. We also synthesized a fluorinated single-benzene fluorophore with a record high solubility in perfluorocarbon solvents and demonstrated their practical utility in white light-emitting devices and multicolor imaging of perfluorocarbon nanodroplets in live cells.

Summary: The rational design of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combining appropriate additives and industrial process-able polymers offers a new prospect for highly efficient membrane separations. However, the difficulty in their fabrication due to the lack of processability of most additives and the formation of segregated filler domains in polymer matrices hampers the development and application of MMMs. Herein, we present two new zirconocene-based metallocavitands (ZRA and ZRT) and a series of MMMs fabricated by blending ZRA, ZRT, and MOC-1-NH2 (a zirconocene-based metal-organic cage) with the polyimide (6FDA-DAM), respectively. It was found that ZRA exhibited high thermal stability and good solubility in various solvents, which can be homogeneously mixed with polymers to prepare ZRA-based MMMs without any indication of filler agglomeration. Compared to the pure 6FDA-DAM membrane, a low ZRA-loading MMM (ZRA-2.2%) exhibited better mechanical properties and 50% improved CO2 permeability for CO2/CH4 separation. ZRA-2.2% also exhibited a good performance after 6 months of aging and significantly alleviated the plasticization effect under high pressures. These results suggest the great potential of the ZRA-2.2% for CO2/CH4 separation and that the simple metallocavitands may serve as promising additives in fabricating MMMs for gas separations.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.
