Summary: A new chiral NaO2Ni4O2N2 cluster with a distorted capped cubane-type structure has been synthesized and its structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex exhibits a Ni4 cubane cluster with a sodium ion anchored on its face. The coordination geometries at each metal site show local distortions, which govern the magnetic anisotropy associated with each Ni II ion. The complex also showed good catalytic activity towards bromination of aromatic phenolic compounds, achieving up to 99% conversion with 100% selectivity to their corresponding bromo derivatives.

Summary: A new ethynylated Schiff base complex, [Cu(SALANI)2], was synthesized and characterized. The 1H NMR spectra of the complex were obtained and interpreted despite its paramagnetic character. Polyacetylene-type micro/mesoporous organometallic networks were prepared by copolymerization with appropriate monomers or by postpolymerization metalation. The new porous organometallic networks exhibited a high specific surface area and Cu2+ content, and showed catalytic activity in the oxidation of linalool to linalool oxide.

Summary: Schiff base compound was synthesized by the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde and 4-aminoantipyrine. The resulting Schiff base formed a mononuclear Cu-II complex, and later changed its structure to a polynuclear (CuBiIII)-Bi-II complex. The complex exhibited stronger antibacterial and cytotoxic activity compared to the Schiff base.

Summary: A combined method of solvent extraction and catalytic hydrodebromination was developed for the abatement of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) contaminated soil. TBBPA could be efficiently extracted from the soil using polar solvents, and complete hydrodebromination into bisphenol A was achieved using Pd/C catalyst in ethanol. Sodium hydroxide, ammonia water, and triethylamine were found to promote the hydrodebromination reaction, and a 100% bromide atom removal ratio of TBBPA was achieved within 40 min when the molar ratio of sodium hydroxide to organic-bromine was greater than 1.10 in ethanol. However, the catalytic activity of Pd/C decreased with repeated use in ethanol, which could be recovered by washing with water.

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 continues to spread rapidly, leading to an increasing number of cases. In this context, the focus has been on the risk of contamination in closed areas, particularly on the air conditioning systems. While wearing masks, maintaining physical distance, and practicing good hygiene are essential prevention measures, ventilation and air conditioning systems in closed areas can also help reduce the risk of transmission. Various measures, such as filtration, the use of UV-C lamps, and increasing fresh air flow, have been shown to significantly decrease the risk of virus transmission. This study discusses specific measures that should be taken in hospitals, which are high-risk buildings, to minimize the risk of contamination. Measures include temporary solutions for negative pressure rooms, pressurization in intensive care units, and considerations for the HVAC system.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
