The reaction between HgI(2)(C(6)N(4)H(12)) and HI in ethanol solution results in the binary metal iodide-iodine complexes [C(6)N(4)H(13)](2)(Hg(2)I(6))(1/2)(HgI(3)).(1)/(2)I(2), which are stable under ambient conditions. The structure consists of C(6)N(4)H(13)(+) cations, discrete trigonal HgI(3)(-) ions, and.Hg(2)I(6)(2)(-).I(2).Hg(2)I(6)(2)(-). chains in the crystallographic b direction, which are formed by I(2) molecules connecting the bridging iodines of the Hg(2)I(6)(2)(-) dimers. The intra- and intermolecular I-I distances of iodine in the chain are 2.7402(15) and 3.438(1) Å, respectively. The Raman spectrum of [C(6)N(4)H(13)](2)(Hg(2)I(6))(1/2)(HgI(3)).(1)/(2)I(2) confirms the interaction between the iodine molecules and Hg(2)I(6)(2)(-) ions. The structure of [NH(4)](HgI(3)).H(2)O, obtained during the synthesis of [C(6)N(4)H(13)](2)(Hg(2)I(6))(1/2)(HgI(3)).(1)/(2)I(2), is also reported. Crystal data for [C(6)N(4)H(13)](2)(Hg(2)I(6))(1/2)(HgI(3)).(1)/(2)I(2): a = 14.275(3) Å, b = 19.721(4) Å, c = 10.416(2) Å, orthorhombic space group Pbam; Z = 4. Crystal data for [NH(4)](HgI(3)).H(2)O: a = 8.7246(4) Å, b = 9.7860(3) Å, c = 11.1103(4) Å, orthorhombic space group Ama2; Z = 4.

The physical separation of CH from CO on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has received a substantial amount of research interest due to its advantages of simplicity, security, and energy efficiency. However, the exploitation of ideal MOF adsorbents for CH/CO separation remains a challenging task due to their similar physical properties and molecular sizes. Herein, we report a unique CH nano-trap constructed using accessible oxygen and nitrogen sites, which exhibits energetic favorability toward CH molecules.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have improved outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, the clinical benefit of ICI as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy remains widely varied and existing biomarkers have limited predictive value. We present an analysis of ENLIGHT-DP, a novel transcriptome-based biomarker directly from histopathology slides, in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) treated with ICI and platinum-based chemotherapy.

This study presents a facile one-pot synthesis method to fabricate BiFeO-BiFeO-BiO heterojunction photocatalysts with controllable compositions and pure phases. Three different binary heterojunctions (BiFeO/BiFeO, BiFeO/BiO, and BiFeO/BiO) and a ternary BiFeO/BiFeO/BiO heterojunction were formed, all exhibiting significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and phenol under visible light irradiation, outperforming the individual compositions. Notably, the BiFeO/BiFeO heterojunction achieved the highest degradation efficiency (93.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Although genes causing familial cases have been identified, those of sporadic ALS, which occupies the majority of patients, are still elusive. In this study, we adopted machine learning to build binary classifiers based on the New York Genome Center (NYGC) ALS Consortium's RNA-seq data of the postmortem spinal cord of ALS and non-neurological disease control.

This study focuses on the synthesis of a novel Cerium-Magnesium (CeO-MgO) binary oxide nanomaterials by a simple co-precipitation process and used to remove harmful pollutants such as Cr(VI), Cu(II), and F. The morphology, phase, crystallite size, thermal stability, functional groups, surface area, and porosity of the synthesized nanomaterial were determined by using XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA/DTA, and BET studies. The prepared nanomaterials showed adsorption selectivity of Cu(II) ≈ F> Cr(VI) with a high adsorption capacity of 84.
