Summary: In this study, the effect of size and composition on the properties of bimetallic nanoclusters was investigated. The geometric structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of Agn-1M (M = Au, Co, Cu, Ni, Pd, Pt; n = 3, 9, 15) nanoclusters were analyzed using spin-polarized density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. The results showed that doping pure silver clusters with a transition metal atom improved their stability. The properties including formation energy, electronic structure, magnetic moments, and vibrational density of states were evaluated as a function of size and composition. Weak binding and minor geometric changes were observed for the adsorption of selected bimetallic clusters on a hydroxylated alumina substrate, except for Ag8Pt.

Summary: We have investigated the reactivity modulation of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by a charged metal-organic framework (MOF) material, MFM-305-CH3. Methylated unbound N-centres and Cl- ions in the pores are used to balance the cationic charge. The uptake of NO2 into MFM-305-CH3 leads to the reaction between NO2 and Cl- to form nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) and NO3- anions. The study provides insights into the binding domains and reactivity of adsorbed NO2 molecules within MFM-305-CH3 and MFM-305.

Summary: This paper reports the high adsorption of benzene at low pressure and efficient separation of benzene/cyclohexane achieved by controlling the pore chemistry of two families of robust metal-organic frameworks, UiO-66 and MFM-300. UiO-66-CuII exhibits exceptional adsorption of benzene at 3.92 mmol g-1 and MFM-300(Sc) shows a high selectivity of 166 for the separation of benzene/cyclohexane (v/v = 1/1) mixture. The binding mechanisms of benzene and cyclohexane in these materials are revealed through in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, and multiple spectroscopic techniques. Reversible binding of benzene at an open Cu(II) site within metal-organic frameworks is also visualized for the first time.

Summary: Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have gained increasing interest in electronics due to their diverse structures, intrinsic porosity, and designable host-guest interactions. In this study, we investigated the dielectric properties of a series of robust materials, MFM-300(M) (M = Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Ga, In), upon exposure to different guest molecules. We found that MFM-300(Fe) showed the highest increase in dielectric constant when adsorbing NH3, indicating its potential as a powerful dielectric-based sensor for NH3. Structural analysis and spectroscopy confirmed the electron delocalization induced by host-guest interactions between NH3 and the MOF host, resulting in structural polarization and a high dielectric constant.

The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
