Summary: Comparisons were made between aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition of MoS2 films from solutions containing single-source precursors and coreactant solution, indicating the significance of ligand precoordination on film properties. Raman spectra and GI-XRD patterns showed that the single-source precursors resulted in more intense and sharper signals for 2H-MoS2, suggesting improved crystallinity. SEM and XPS analysis were also conducted to evaluate morphology and composition. Thermolysis of the single-source precursors indicated the generation of a terminal sulfido on the molybdenum center with loss of a heteroatom stabilized carbene.

Summary: This study presents rapid and effective methods for synthesizing nanostructured bismuth telluride materials with promising TE performance using microwave volume heating in a short reaction time. The use of water as a solvent is as effective as ethylene glycol, providing a greener reaction medium. Characterization techniques, including XRD, SEM/TEM, XPS and zeta potential, were used to evaluate crystal structure, morphology, crystallinity, microstructure and surface chemistry of the materials. The low thermal conductivity values and high ZT values demonstrate the potential impact of these materials, developed with energy and time efficiency, in advancing TE technology with minimal environmental impact.

Summary: Discharge from the stormwater system is an overlooked source of disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors, posing a threat to the aquatic environment and potentially drinking water quality. The study found that DBP concentrations in stormwater pipes were higher than in surface waters, mainly dominated by trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. Additionally, stormwater discharge increased the concentration of DBP precursors in surface water.

Summary: The reasons for the unusually small Bi-Te-Bi bond angle of 86.6 degrees observed in the crystal structure of (Et2Bi)(2)Te are investigated using quantum chemical calculations. It is found that the discrepancy between the bond angle in the crystal structure and that of an isolated monomer is resolved by a lengthening of the Bi-Te bond in the crystal, which is caused by partial electron transfer from neighboring molecules. Additionally, it is shown that London dispersion interactions play a crucial role in the packing of molecules and the small Bi-Te-Bi bond angle.

Summary: This study evaluated the correlation between molecular weight and HBQs generation of river NOM. It was found that HBQs were approximately 9 times more abundant in NOM fractions larger than 50 kDa compared to low molecular weight fractions. The presence of lignin-like and highly oxygen compounds in NOM was found to play critical roles in the formation of HBQs. Derivatizing certain compounds in NOM reduced HBQs yields significantly.

Summary: Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy images of droplet landing sites are correlated with the electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte of hexagonal spinel Co3O4 nanoparticles derived using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy. The turnover frequency (TOF) of surface Co atoms is used to deconvolute the intrinsic catalytic activity of individual crystal facets of the hexagonal Co3O4 spinel particle. The top surface exposing 111 crystal planes showed a thickness-dependent TOF, while the edge of the particle exposing (110) planes showed a higher average TOF and no correlation with particle thickness.

Summary: Oxidative addition reactions of LZnH with L1Si and L2SiNMe2 yielded L1Si(H)-ZnL (1) and LH2Si(NMe2)ZnL (3), while the reaction with L2SiCl proceeded with H/Cl ligand exchange and the formation of L2Si(H)-Zn(Cl)L (2). Protonation reaction of 1 with H-(OEt2)2BArF4 gave LS(H)-ZnL (4). The nature of the Zn-Si bond in 1-4 was evaluated by quantum chemical calculations, showing that the Si-Zn bond in 1 and 3 is covalent, while those in 2 and 4 are better described as dative bonds.

Summary: Based on DFT calculations, LGa(P2OC)cAAC 2 possesses a delocalized p-type HOMO and p*-type LUMO due to the presence of a 1,2-diphospha-1,3-butadiene moiety. Reaction of 2 with KC8 and dibenzo-18-crown-6 led to the isolation of [LGa(P2OC)cAAC][K(DB-18-c-6)] 3[K(DB-18-c-6] containing the 1,2-diphospha-1,3-butadiene radical anion 3*. Further reactions of 3 with [Fc][B(C6F5)(4)] and TEMPO yielded 2 and [L-HGa-(P2OC)cAAC][K(DB-18-c-6)] 4[K(DB-18-c-6] respectively, with the latter containing the 1,2-diphospha-1,3-butadiene anion 4-. The structures of 2, 3[K(DB-18-c-6], and 4[K(DB-18-c-6] were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD).

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
