Summary: In this study, a novel hybrid silica nanoparticle system was designed, which carried membrane targeting groups and encapsulated antibiotics along with a ruthenium luminescent tracking agent for optical detection of nanoparticle delivery in bacterial cells. The hybrid system successfully delivered vancomycin and exhibited efficacy against various Gram-negative bacterial species. The penetration of nanoparticles in bacterial cells was confirmed via the luminescence of the ruthenium signal. These findings demonstrate that nanoparticles modified with aminopolycarboxylate chelating groups can serve as an effective delivery system for inhibiting bacterial growth in species where molecular antibiotics are ineffective. This design provides a new platform for delivering antibiotics that cannot penetrate the bacterial membrane alone.

Summary: This study investigates the excited states of a series of complexes [Ru(tpy)(L)(CH3CN)]n+ (1-11), and finds that the photoinduced CH3CN dissociation in these complexes occurs from the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) excited state instead of a dissociative triplet ligand field (3LF) state as previously believed. This discovery suggests alternative pathways for ligand photodissociation and has broad implications for the design principles of applications that require ligand photodissociation.

Summary: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising cancer treatment method, but it is limited by its oxygen dependency and poor tissue penetration of some photosensitizers (PSs) activatable with short wavelengths. In this study, a novel hypoxia-active PS with operability in the near-infrared (NIR) region was developed, which showed high photoactivity toward cancer cells even under hypoxic environments. This strategy could potentially pave the way for the development of novel NIR- and hypoxia-active Ru(ii)-based theragnostic PSs.

Summary: Thorough investigation on the pH-responsive optical and redox switching behaviors of recently reported bis-tridentate Ru(II) luminophores with different X (H, Me, Cl, NO2, and Ph) was conducted. The acidity of benzimidazole protons in the complexes, ground-state pK(a) values determination, excited-state pK(a)* values estimation, and proton-coupled electrochemical behaviors were thoroughly studied. The complexes act as potential pH-responsive colorimetric, emission, and redox switches, with X inducing a small but finite effect on pK(a) values.

Summary: In this study, a simple and reliable chemical approach was used to develop an efficient BPA sensor based on a Co-Ru-based heterometallic supramolecular polymer (polyCoRu). The sensor exhibited two linear dynamic ranges for BPA detection and demonstrated high sensitivity and low limit of detection. The synthesized polyCoRu also showed excellent electrochemical characteristics, and a probable electrochemical reaction mechanism was proposed. Practical applicability analysis using tap water showed high recovery percentages, and the reproducibility and stability of polyCoRu/GCE were also demonstrated.

Summary: The function of disulfide bonds during the self-assembly and structural evolution of sulfhydryl single-stranded DNA (SH-ssDNA) was explored using in situ liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM). Sulfhydryl groups induced self-assembly of SH-ssDNA into circular DNA containing disulfide bonds (SS-cirDNA). Disulfide bond interaction triggered the aggregation of two SS-cirDNA macromolecules along with significant structural changes. This visualization strategy provided nanometer resolution structure information in real time and space, benefiting future biomacromolecules research.

Summary: For the first time, an efficient single-dye near-infrared-II (NIR-II) chemiluminescence (CL) system was proposed, with the longest emission peak around 1000 nm. Biocompatible CL nanoparticles were developed, and a significant enhancement in CL intensity was observed in the presence of the BASZn nanoenzyme. This NIR-II CL system showed potential for applications in glucose sensing, tumor therapy, and in vivo H2O2 imaging. A novel electron transfer model was established to explain the chemiluminescence mechanism, providing useful guidelines for designing efficient single-dye NIR-II CL systems.

Summary: This study demonstrates the use of mass spectrometry imaging to map the noncovalent interactions of proteins in the tissue environment of rat brain. By directly identifying proteins from tissue using nanospray-desorption electrospray ionization, the spatial distributions of ligand-bound and metal-bound proteins were mapped. Additionally, the nature of the ligand was confirmed through multiple rounds of tandem mass spectrometry. The study also identified several natively monomeric proteins displaying distinct spatial distributions.

Summary: This roadmap presents the market dynamics and their influence on a future circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), with a focus on safety throughout the life cycle. Various options for end-of-life (EOL) disposal, such as remanufacturing, reuse, and recycling, are discussed. Diagnostics play a crucial role in assessing battery health and condition, and improvements to diagnostic techniques are evaluated. The future of LIB recycling lies in automated dismantling of EOL battery packs and the development of design for recycling and new cell design approaches.

Summary: The increasing biodiesel concentrations in diesel fuel blends have raised concerns about their impact on formulated oil oxidation within internal combustion engines. It has been observed that biodiesel not only undergoes rapid oxidation at elevated temperatures but also accelerates the oxidation process of lubricant base oil in the presence of soluble iron. This observation is important for understanding the chemistry in laboratory tests for lubricant oil formulations and can contribute to the design of new lubricants with improved biodiesel compatibility, potentially reducing carbon footprint through waste reduction.

Summary: Self-assembled enantiomers of a di-iron metallohelix showed different antiproliferative activities against HCT116 colon cancer cells, with the ?-helicity compound being more potent than the Delta compound. The accumulation and localization studies suggest that the ? enantiomer undergoes carrier-mediated efflux, while the Delta enantiomer undergoes equilibrative process. The binding of the ? metallohelix to DNA and inhibition of tubulin and actin networks contribute to its G(2)/M arrest effect on cells.

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.
