Summary: Phosphates, including inorganic and organic phosphates, play significant roles in cellular biology, regulating various processes with medical and environmental importance. Lanthanide elements, such as europium(III) and terbium(III), with their long lifetimes, are ideal for developing molecular probes to directly detect phosphates in complex aqueous environments. These lanthanide complexes provide valuable tools for studying biological processes by selectively detecting inorganic or organic phosphates.

Summary: By selecting a bisphosphonic ligand H4L and a coligand oxalate, three isostructural lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) with a 2D layer structure were synthesized. By tuning the molar ratio of different lanthanide ions, doped Ln-MOFs with variable luminescent colors were obtained, which can be potentially used in anti-counterfeiting applications. Moreover, one of the Ln-MOFs (3) showed good thermal, water, and pH stabilities, and served as a selective and reusable luminescent sensor for sulfamethazine (SMZ).

Summary: Two fermentation modes, electro-fermentation (EF) and traditional fermentation (TF), were used to produce medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) from different concentrations of liquor fermentation waste. EF mode at 40% substrate concentration resulted in the highest caproate (4.04 g/L) and butyrate (13.96 g/L) concentrations. TF experiments showed inhibition of ethanol oxidation and products formation above 40% substrate concentration. Compared to TF mode, EF mode significantly increased total substrates consumption by 2.6%-43.5% and product yields by 54.0%-83.0%. EF effectively alleviated substrate toxicity and enriched chain elongation bacteria, promoting ethanol oxidation and products formation. This study offers a new approach for producing MCFAs from high concentration wastewater.

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.
