A method is presented to design magnetic molecules in which the exchange interaction between adjacent metal ions is controlled by electron density withdrawal through their bridging ligands. We synthesized a novel Mn(4) cluster in which the choice of the bridging carboxylate ligands (acetate, benzoate, or trifluoroacetate) determines the type and strength of the three magnetic exchange couplings (J(1), J(2), and J(3)) present between the metal ions. Experimentally measured magnetic moments in high magnetic fields show that, upon electron density withdrawal, the main antiferromagnetic exchange constant J(1) decreases from -2.2 K for the [Mn(4)(OAc)(4)] cluster to -1.9 K for the [Mn(4)(H(5)C(6)COO)(4)] cluster and -0.6 K for the [Mn(4)(F(3)CCOO)(4)] cluster, while J(2) decreases from -1.1 K to nearly 0 K and J(3) changes to a small ferromagnetic coupling. These experimental results are further supported with density-functional theory calculations based on the obtained crystallographic structures of the [Mn(4)(OAc)(4)] and [Mn(4)(F(3)CCOO)(4)] clusters.

Purpose: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as carriers for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this process, MWCNTs were coated with mesoporous silica (MWCNT-Silica) for uniform and regular loading of AgNPs on the MWCNTs. In addition, astaxanthin (AST) extract was used as a reducing agent for silver ions to enhance the antioxidant, antibiofilm, and anticancer activities of AgNPs.

Oxygen vacancies (V's) are of paramount importance in influencing the properties and applications of ceria (CeO). Yet, comprehending the distribution and nature of V's poses a significant challenge due to the vast number of electronic configurations and intricate many-body interactions among V's and polarons (Ce ions). In this study, we established a cluster expansion model based on first-principles calculations and statistical learning to decouple the interactions among the Ce ions and V's, thereby circumventing the limitations associated with sampling electronic configurations.

A novel antimonotungstate (AT)-based heterometallic framework {[Er(HO)][Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)]}·50HO (, Hpdc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) was obtained through a synergistic strategy of in situ-generated transition-metal-encapsulated polyoxometalate (POM) building units and the substitution reaction. Its structural unit is composed of a tetra-Fe-substituted Krebs-type [Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)] subunit and two [Er(HO)] cations. This subunit can be regarded as a product of carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpdc ligands replacing active water ligands in the [Fe(HO)(B-β-SbWO)] species.
