The mixed-sandwich U(III) complexes [U(eta-C8H6{SiiPr(3)-1,4}2)(eta-CpR)(THF)] (R=Me5, Me4H) react with CO2 to give free CO and the U(IV) carbonate products [U(eta-C8H6{SiiPr(3)-1,4}2)(eta-CpR)]2(micro-eta1:eta2-CO3)]; the latter has been structurally characterised for R=Me4H; a 25% molar excess of the U(III) reductant gives a mixture of the carbonate and squarate [U(eta-C8H6{SiiPr(3)-1,4}2)(eta-C5Me4H)]2(micro-eta2:eta2-C4O4) products-the first synthesis of an oxocarbon from a CO2 carbon source.

By integrating iron-cobalt squarate bimetallic metal-organic framework (Fe-Co-SqBMoF) based smart material (SM) with functional DNA (fDNA), we designed a target responsive fDNA@Fe-Co-SqBMoF bioelectrode that exhibits recognition induced switchable response to serve as a reagentless single step electrochemical apta-switch (REA). The construct takes advantage of fDNA ability to bind and concentrate target on the receptor interface, while Fe-Co-SqBMoF@SM multifeatures to serve as an immobilization matrix and a signal generating electrochemical switch. Fe-Co-SqBMoF was introduced to prepare a redox active pencil graphite electrode (PGE), while fDNA (aptamer) was decorated on the receptor PGE to impart specificity and selectivity.

Molecular recognition is a fundamental function of natural systems that ensures biological activity. This is achieved through the sieving effect, host-guest interactions, or both in biological environments. Recent advancements in multifunctional proteins reveal a new dimension of functional organization that goes beyond single-function molecular recognition, emphasizing the need for artificial multifunctional materials in industrial applications.

Prelithiation is a critical step in dual carbon lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) due to the lack of Li in the system, which needs to be incorporated externally to avoid electrolyte depletion. Several prelithiation techniques have been developed over the years, and recently, dilithium squarate (LiCO) has been reported as an air-stable, easy to synthesize, safe, and cost-effective prelithiation reagent for LICs. LiCO has successfully been used in a wide range of chemistries, and its integration into positive electrodes has been scaled up to roll-to-roll processing and demonstrated in multilayer pouch cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study details the synthesis of substituted oxepane derivatives using a method that involves remodeling 4-hydroxy-2-cyclobutenones, which are made from dialkyl squarates reacting with acrylonitrile.
- A mechanism involving a Rh(I)-catalyzed process is proposed, where a fused [3.2.0] bicycle structure forms via a series of reactions, including an oxa-Michael addition and an intramolecular rearrangement, ultimately leading to the oxepane ring.
- Computational studies indicate that while a certain intermediate forms, there's an alternative pathway through a Rh(III) intermediate, and the process is noted to retain stereochemistry, allowing for further modifications of the resultant

Separating deuterium from hydrogen isotope mixtures is of vital importance to develop nuclear energy industry, as well as other isotope-related advanced technologies. As one of the most promising alternatives to conventional techniques for deuterium purification, kinetic quantum sieving using porous materials has shown a great potential to address this challenging objective. From the knowledge gained in this field; it becomes clear that a quantum sieve encompassing a wide range of practical features in addition to its separation performance is highly demanded to approach the industrial level.
