Summary: A new oscillation mode, inverse class-F-23, is introduced in an LC-tank, presenting low resistive impedances at both second and third harmonics achieved by a tight magnetic coupling in differential and common modes. The proposed digitally controlled oscillator in 28nm CMOS achieves high performance with improved phase noise characteristics due to the reduction of harmonics and conduction angle narrowing. The use of a 2:3 transformer provides high gain and reduces area by 30%, resulting in a record figure-of-merit (FoM) within a low supply voltage and power constraint.

Summary: In this study, a new molybdovanadate cluster modified by bisphosphonate (BP) ligands was successfully synthesized, providing a new basic building unit for the preparation of polyoxometalates. By comparing the catalytic activity of the V-doped molybdovanadate cluster with other clusters without V=O in an organic model reaction, the significance of the V-replaced model containing V=O was confirmed.

Summary: Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction is an effective strategy to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations and produce valuable chemical products. Enhancing the activity of molecular systems for these reactions can be achieved by co-catalytic use of redox mediators. In this study, we demonstrate the cooperative effect of inner-sphere mechanism in protic conditions and show that modifying the mediator and ligand design can improve the intrinsic and co-catalytic performance of the Cr-centered catalyst. By optimizing the co-electrocatalytic system, we achieved an enhanced activity at lower overpotentials. This work lays the foundation for developing co-catalytic systems for homogeneous electrochemical reactions.

Summary: New Ce12V6 oxo clusters with different capping ligands were designed and synthesized, showing enhanced solubility and catalytic activity compared to the nonporous Ce12V6-SO4. The introduction of organic ligands improved the accessibility of catalytic sites and influenced the electronic environment, affecting the reactivity of the cluster. This study provides a strategy to fully utilize the catalytic sites within inorganic sulfate capped clusters through the introduction of organic ligands.

Summary: A direct photocatalytic conversion of methane to formaldehyde over gold modified cuboid-shaped tungsten trioxide with exposed crystal-O facets has been reported, achieving high productivity and selectivity of formaldehyde under room temperature conditions. The activation of C-H bonds in methane by high spin state crystal-O ions, combined with the extraction of photoexcited electrons by metallic gold, results in efficient formation of formaldehyde. Isotopic tests confirm the origin of formaldehyde from the combination of methane and crystal-O on the exposed facets.

Summary: The oxidation resistance of pure tungsten can be improved by adding titanium, which reduces mass gain and suppresses catastrophic oxidation at high temperatures, as well as prevents microcracking in the oxide layer and the formation of non-protective multilayered structures.

Summary: This study focuses on the optimal tuning of free parameters in range-separated double hybrid functionals, aiming to minimize fractional charge and fractional spin errors. The results suggest that introducing range separation in both the exchange and correlation terms is effective in achieving this goal. The optimal set of parameters is system-specific, indicating the importance of the tuning procedure. Additionally, the performance of the optimally tuned functionals in dissociation curves of diatomic molecules is tested, showing an improvement in accuracy.

Summary: N-Triphos derivatives are a class of tuneable, tripodal ligands that are related to the coordination chemistry of Re and Tc in biomedical applications. Mixed-ligand approaches can be used to obtain Tc complexes with different core structures and properties. It has been found that the properties of the ligands can affect the configuration and stability of the products.

Summary: The chemical structure relationships of compounds containing various oxyfluoridoanions were studied. These compounds were synthesized and characterized during the investigation of Lewis acidity of MOF4 with different fluoride ion donors in different solvents. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the Lewis acidity of oxyfluoridometallate salts.

Summary: Artificial photocatalysis is a promising method for selective conversion of CH4 to CH3OH, but the over-oxidization by active oxygen radicals hinders its efficiency. In this study, a strategy of transferring key intermediates for stability was proposed. A Co3O4/ZnO composite photocatalyst effectively converted CH4 to CH3OH under simulated sunlight irradiation, while pure ZnO only over-oxidized CH4 into CO2. Co(3)O(4) was found to play a crucial role in adsorbing .CH3 key intermediates and desorbing CH3OH to suppress CH4 over-oxidation on the ZnO surface.

Summary: This study found that the impact response of a tungsten heavy alloy decreases significantly with increasing temperature, with both proof stress and spall strength decreasing almost sixfold between 23 and 1100 degrees Celsius. This suggests that the tensile (spall) fracture of the alloy is controlled by the strength of its matrix.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive summary of electrochemistry data reported on uranium complexes in nonaqueous electrolyte, serving as a reference for newly synthesized compounds and evaluating the influence of different ligand environments on electrochemical properties. The data for over 200 uranium compounds are reported, along with a discussion on trends observed across complexes in response to ligand field variations. The newly derived uranium-specific ligand field parameters are shown to be useful for predicting structure-reactivity correlations and activating specific substrate targets.

Summary: The study focuses on immobilizing glucose oxidase and chloroperoxidase on a zirconium-based MOF, UiO-66-NH2, using two different crosslinkers for stable fixation. Results show that DSG-crosslinked composites display enhanced activity, and all crosslinked enzyme/MOF composites demonstrate recyclability, retaining at least 30% activity after four catalytic cycles.
