Summary: Flipper probes have been introduced as small molecule fluorophores for imaging physical forces in living systems. The article describes their evolution in design and synthesis as well as their spectroscopic properties. Mechanosensitivity to image membrane tension in living cells is identified as their ideal origin. A variety of flippers have been developed for specific delivery and release in subcellular membranes, enabling super-resolution imaging and dual-sensing of membrane compression and hydration. The availability and broad use of flipper probes validate their power in translational supramolecular chemistry.

Summary: In this research, benzimidazole and -CH3 groups were successfully integrated into UiO-66 through a step-by-step linker modification strategy to form Bim-UiO-66 and Bim-UiO-66-Me. Both benzimidazole derivatives showed better performance than UiO-66 in the removal of heavy metal oxo-anions, with Bim-UiO-66-Me exhibiting the highest performance, with sorption rates and capacities 7.5 and 3.0 times higher than UiO-66, respectively. This study not only provides a promising candidate for removal of heavy metal oxo-anions in wastewater treatment but also presents a new strategy for the design of high-performance adsorbents.

Summary: This study reports a light-driven synergistic redox reaction for the selective oxidation of benzyl to phenylcarbinol using Zn0.5Cd0.5S/graphene oxide photocatalyst. The presence of S vacancies on the surface of the photocatalyst plays a crucial role in the adsorption and activation of oxygen, generating superoxide radicals and singlet oxygen. The pi-pi stacking effect between the photocatalyst and graphene oxide accelerates the transfer of photogenerated electrons and promotes the selective hydrogenation of aldehydes.

Summary: A systematic quantum-chemical study explores the hydrogenation of ethene catalyzed by strong acids HX (X = F, Cl, Br) and superacids HA (A = MgX3, Mg2X5; X = F, Cl, Br) derived from octet superhalogens. The calculated results suggest that the concerted path is more favorable than the stepwise path. The catalytic efficiency of the superacid HA is significantly improved compared to the reaction without a catalyst, and the barrier energy is reduced compared to the strong acid HX.

Summary: A systematic theoretical study was conducted on a group of 16 square antiprism dysprosium single-ion magnets. The study predicted the quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) time and effective barrier of magnetic reversal (U-eff) based on ab initio calculations. The results suggest that the coexistence of long QTM time and high U-eff is a criterion for high-performance single-molecule magnets (SMMs), and a semi-quantitative crystal field analysis can provide guidance for improving SMM properties.

Summary: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe, but most cases can be recovered or prevented by discontinuing the offending drug. Recent research has found that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) can be used as a potential indicator for early diagnosis of DILI, and there is an urgent need to establish a method to detect and track peroxynitrite in DILI cases. In this study, a FRET-based nano fluorescent probe CD-N-I was developed, which showed high selectivity and sensitivity in detecting peroxynitrite. The probe successfully detected exogenous peroxynitrite in live cells and endogenous peroxynitrite in APAP-induced liver injury of HepG2 cells.
