Clathrating CO in a Supramolecular Granatohedron Cage with Noncovalent CO-NH Interactions and High CO Capture Efficiency under Ambient Conditions.

Organic amine (R-NH) reagents as dominant chemical sorbents for CO capture in industrial processes suffer from high energy compensation for regeneration. Herein, we, for the first time, report the finding of Co(III) coordinating with NH molecules regulating the interaction between NH and CO to electrostatic interactions instead of a chemical reaction and achieve CO capture under near-ambient conditions. NH coordinating with Co(III) significantly reduces its alkalinity and reactivity with CO owing to its lone-pair electron donation during coordination.

Distributed attribute representation in the superior parietal lobe during probabilistic decision-making.

Several studies have examined the neural substrates of probabilistic decision-making, but few have systematically investigated the neural representations of the two objective attributes of probabilistic rewards, that is, the reward amount and the probability. Specifically, whether there are common or distinct neural activity patterns to represent the objective attributes and their association with the neural representation of the subjective valuation remains largely underexplored. We conducted two studies (n  = 34, n  = 41) to uncover distributed neural representations of the objective attributes and subjective value as well as their association with individual probability discounting rates.
