Hydrogen-bonded interactions in alpha-, beta-, and gamma-CD conformers are investigated from the molecular electron density topography and chemical shift in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra calculated by using the Gauge Invariant Atomic Orbital (GIAO) method within the framework of density functional theory. For the lowest-energy CD conformers in the gas phase, the O3-H...O2' hydrogen-bonding interactions are present. Calculated 1H NMR chemical shifts (delta H) correlate well with the hydrogen-bond distance as well as electron density at the bond critical point in the molecular electron density (MED) topography. The conformers of beta- and gamma-CD comprised of relatively strong secondary hydroxyl interactions are stabilized by solvation from polar solvents.

The stomatal phenotype is a crucial microscopic characteristic of the leaf surface, and modulating the stomata of maize leaves can enhance photosynthetic carbon assimilation and water use efficiency, thereby playing a vital role in maize yield formation. The evolving imaging and image processing technologies offer effective tools for precise analysis of stomatal phenotypes. This study employed Jingnongke 728 and its parental inbred to capture stomatal images from various leaf positions and abaxial surfaces during key reproductive stages using rapid scanning electron microscopy.

Theoretical investigations using density functional theory (DFT) and wavefunction theory (WFT) have been performed to understand the geometric and electronic structures, chemical bonding, and structural transformation of 5d6s-metal doped triboron clusters MB (M = La, Ta, Re, Ir; = 1, 3, 5, 7). Global-minimum structural searches find that early-metal doped MB (M = La, Ta) clusters adopt a two-dimensional (2D) planar structure, with σ- and π-type delocalized molecular orbitals (MOs) consisting of M-5d and B-2p atomic orbitals (AOs) identified by chemical bonding analysis. In contrast, late-metal doped MB (M = Re, Ir) clusters prefer three-dimensional (3D) structures of near-pyramidal and triangular pyramid geometries, respectively, which exhibit enhanced stability involving σ- and δ-type M(5d)-B(2p) interactions.

Acid mine drainage sludge (AMDS) can be utilized as a raw material to synthesize an efficient adsorbent through a more environmentally friendly approach for the removal of pollutants from water. In this study, iron ions were extracted from AMDS and then reacted with trimesic acid (BTC) under ambient conditions to synthesize Fe-BTC-, iron-based metal-organic frameworks. These materials demonstrate an exceptionally high specific surface area and excellent chemical stability.

Radioactive molecular iodine (I) is a critical volatile pollutant generated in nuclear energy applications, necessitating sensors that rapidly and selectively detect low concentrations of I vapor to protect human health and the environment. In this study, we design and prepare a three-component sensing material comprising reduced graphene oxide (rGO) as the substrate, silver iodide (AgI) particles as active sites, and polystyrene sulfonate as an additive. The AgI particles enable reversible adsorption and conversion of I molecules into polyiodides, inducing substantial charge density variation in rGO.

All-perovskite tandem solar cells (APTSCs) offer the potential to surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit of single-junction solar cells at low cost. However, high-performance APTSCs contain unstable methylammonium (MA) cation in the tin-lead (Sn-Pb) narrow bandgap subcells. Currently, MA-free Sn-Pb perovskite solar cells (PSCs) show lower performance compared with their MA-containing counterparts.
