Arsenic concentration, speciation, and risk assessment in sediments of the Xijiang River basin, China.

In order to acquire the spatial distribution, speciation, and risk assessment of arsenic (As), 18 sediment samples were collected in the middle and upper reaches (Nanpan River, Beipan River, Hongshui River, Diaojiang River, and Duliu River) of the Xijiang River basin, China. The chemical fractions of As in the collected sediments were mainly dominated by the residual fraction and the Fe (Mn, Al) oxide/oxyhydroxides fractions. The correlation analysis results showed that the chemical fraction of As in sediments had close correlations with Mn, good correlations with Fe and organic matter (OM), while weak correlations with Al and carbonate.

Tailoring the structure, pH sensitivity and catalytic performance in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings of Ln/Pd MOFs based on the 1,1'-di(p-carboxybenzyl)-2,2'-diimidazole linker.

An array of heterobimetallic Pd/Ln MOFs (1-4) with Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy as preferred metal nodes and 1,1'-di(p-carboxybenzyl)-2,2'-diimidazole (H2L) as a fairly suitable bifunctional organic linker have been synthesized, fully characterized and tested as catalysts in cross-coupling reactions. These robust MOFs, ensuring a uniform distribution of Pd, showed excellent stability in air and high catalytic activity in Suzuki-Miyaura reactions conducted in neat water, neat ethanol as well as water-ethanol mixture. Depending on the solvent, complex 1 could be effectively recycled 4-8 times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
