Summary: In the future hydrogen economy, accurate, cost-efficient, and safe hydrogen sensors based on metal hydrides will be important. Alloying can tune the properties of hydrogen-sensing materials, as demonstrated by thin films of tantalum doped with ruthenium. The alloying effects include modifying the enthalpy of hydrogenation, shifting the pressure window for hydrogen absorption, and reducing the amount of hydrogen absorbed by the material, allowing for tunable sensitivity and a wide sensing range.

Summary: Tuning Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for fluorescence turn-on sensing was investigated. Different donor/acceptor ratios were employed to design and synthesize FRET-based MOFs. By oxidizing the acceptor, the FRET process in MOFs can be efficiently modulated, resulting in controlled fluorescence turn-on of the framework. An optimized MOF with a donor/acceptor ratio of 7.0 was used as a sensitive and selective fluorescence turn-on sensor for Hg(II) ions. This study not only provides a useful method for constructing fluorescence turn-on sensors, but also stimulates the development of novel FRET-based MOFs for fluorescence turn-on sensing of target analytes in the future.

Summary: The study investigates the tunability of polymer domain sizes and phase transitions from blue to red by choice of diacetylene monomers in the presence of metal cations. The research shows that increasing the monomer alkyl tail length increases the UV dose required for optimal blue and fully red films, while also reducing polymer domain sizes. Metal cations have a diverse effect on the film behavior, impacting phase transition kinetics and polymer domain sizes.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

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.
