Boron monoxide (BO), prepared by the thermal condensation of tetrahydroxydiboron, was first reported in 1955; however, its structure could not be determined. With the recent attention on boron-based two-dimensional materials, such as borophene and hexagonal boron nitride, there is renewed interest in BO. A large number of stable BO structures have been computationally identified, but none are supported by experiments.

- Pd-based catalysts typically favor C=C bond adsorption, making it hard to selectively hydrogenate C=O bonds, but the new PdSn intermetallic phase shows a significant breakthrough in chemoselectivity.
- Researchers created this phase and observed that by using thermal quenching, they could maintain its effective catalytic properties.
- With over 96% selectivity for C=O hydrogenation in various aldehydes, the PdSn nanocatalyst demonstrates superior performance and the underlying mechanisms were clarified through computational studies and reaction kinetics.
Purpose/aims: Predatory journals, characterized by poor editorial practices and questionable peer review, constitute a threat to academic literature. Citations to predatory journals in reviews of research potentially weaken the strength of these reviews, which are relied upon by nurses as evidence for practice. The purposes of this study were to assess the (a) extent to which reviews have relied on articles published in predatory journals, (b) nursing research practice areas most reliant on predatory journal citations, and (c) extent to which predatory journal citations are being used in reviews that guide the care of sensitive or vulnerable groups.
