Summary: The structural assembly of organic fluorescent molecules affects their solid-state fluorescence properties. In this study, a Schiff base organic fluorophore was synthesized and its solid state structure and fluorescence properties were investigated. The fluorophore exhibited aggregation induced enhanced emission in the solid state. Different geometric isomers with distinct intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding were produced through crystallization. Both isomers showed self-reversible fluorescence switching without structural transformation. Computational studies revealed that intramolecular hydrogen bonding/conformational twisting controlled the electron density distribution. PXRD studies confirmed the structural stability and complete regeneration of the crystalline phase after mechanical crushing.

Summary: In this study, AHP-F2, a protein fraction extracted from the peanut shell, was characterized and found to have potent immunomodulatory and anti-leishmanial effects. AHP-F2 is a glycoprotein that contains carbohydrates such as glucose, galactose, mannose, and xylose. It interacts with toll-like receptors (TLRs) and induces the production of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, AHP-F2 exhibits strong anti-leishmanial activity by inhibiting the growth of amastigotes within macrophages. These findings suggest that AHP-F2 may offer a new approach for the treatment of leishmaniasis.

Summary: The versatility of metal coordination and organic linkers is utilized to create metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with intriguing network structures, allowing significant control over their functional applications. In this study, Co-benzene dicarboxylic acid based MOFs with 1D and 2D network structures were prepared and their electrocatalytic OER activity in alkaline medium was evaluated. The use of bidentate amines controlled the dimensionality, resulting in water coordinated 1D (Co-MOF-1D) and 2D (Co-MOF-2D) network structures. Both Co-MOFs exhibited strong electrocatalytic OER activity, but Co-MOF-2D showed relatively stronger activity compared to Co-MOF-1D. Co-MOF-2D also demonstrated excellent stability and enhanced OER activity supported by its low Tafel slope, charge transfer resistance, and high electrochemical surface area.

The Ni-MOF showed enhanced activity for OER with a low overpotential, while the Ni-C required higher overpotential. This suggests the potential of developing highly active electrocatalysts based on Ni-MOFs by optimizing the topology and coordination environment.

Summary: Fluorine and nitrogen codoped cobalt hydroxide-graphene oxide nanocomposites (N,F-Co(OH)(2)/GO) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and exhibited highly enhanced oxygen evolution activity in alkaline medium. N,F-Co(OH)(2)/GO required an overpotential of 228 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), while N,F-Co(OH)(2) alone and Co(OH)(2)/GO without fluorine required higher overpotentials for the same current density. The integration of electronegative fluorine with graphene oxide improved the stability of the Co2+ active center and enhanced the charge transfer and adsorption processes, resulting in improved oxygen evolution reaction performance. This work presents a facile method for preparing fluorine-doped GO-Co(OH)(2) electrocatalysts with enhanced oxygen evolution reaction activity under alkaline conditions.

Summary: The coordination environment and networks of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a significant impact on their functional properties, particularly catalysis. In this study, Co-benzene dicarboxylic acid-based MOFs (Co-MOF-1 and Co-MOF-2) were prepared with different coordination environments, and their structure-controlled electrocatalytic OER activity in an alkaline medium was correlated. Co-MOF-1 showed stronger OER activity and better stability compared to Co-MOF-2. XPS analysis suggested the conversion of Co-MOF-1 to CoOOH during electrocatalysis, which enhanced the OER activity. These findings provide structural insights for designing new MOFs for electrocatalytic water-splitting reactions.
