AI Article Synopsis

  • The rhenium(V) oxo complex [(DAAm)Re(O)(CH(3))] activates carbon monoxide (CO), leading to the formation of a rhenium(III) acetate complex [(DAAm)Re(O(2)CCH(3))(CO)].
  • A novel intermediate, an oxorhenium(V) acyl complex [(DAAm)Re(O)(C(O)CH(3))], was isolated and studied for its reactivity with CO.
  • The proposed mechanism involves CO activation by the metal complex, resulting in bond formation and the eventual generation of the acetate complex through ligand migration.

Article Abstract

Activation of CO by the rhenium(V) oxo complex [(DAAm)Re(O)(CH(3))] (1) [DAAm = N,N-bis(2-arylaminoethyl)methylamine; aryl = C(6)F(5), Mes] resulted in the isolation of the rhenium(III) acetate complex [(DAAm)Re(O(2)CCH(3))(CO)] (3). The mechanistic details of this reaction were explored experimentally. The novel oxorhenium(V) acyl intermediate [(DAAm)Re(O)(C(O)CH(3))] (2) was isolated, and its reactivity with CO was investigated. An unprecedented mechanism is proposed: CO is activated by the metal oxo complex 1 and inserted into the rhenium-methyl bond to yield acyl complex 2, after which subsequent migration of the acyl ligand to the metal oxo ligand yields acetate complex 3. X-ray crystal structures of 2 and 3 are reported.

Quorum quenching consortia (QQC) enriched by special substrates for bioaugmentation is a promising QQ technology to reduce biofouling, sludge yield, and sludge bulking. However, the effect of substrate type on the performance of QQC is still a research gap. This study selected three different substrates, regular AHLs (N-octanoyl-l-homoserine lactone, C8), 3-oxo-AHLs (3-oxo-octanoyl)-l-homoserine lactone, 3-oxo-C8), and AHLs analogs (γ-caprolactone, GCL) to enrich three QQC (C8-QQC, 3OC8-QQC, GCL-QQC).

The complexity of the intrinsic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) mechanism, particularly the precise relationships between the local coordination geometry of active metal centers and the resulting OER kinetics, remains to be fully understood. Herein, we construct a series of 3 d transition metal-incorporated cobalt hydroxide-based nanobox architectures for the OER which contain tetrahedrally coordinated Co(II) centers. Combination of bulk- and surface-sensitive operando spectroelectrochemical approaches reveals that tetrahedral Co(II) centers undergo a dynamic transformation into highly active Co(IV) intermediates acting as the true OER active species which activate lattice oxygen during the OER.

Understanding the impact of oxidative modification on protein structure and functions is essential for developing therapeutic strategies to combat macromolecular damage and cell death. However, selectively inducing oxidative modifications in proteins remains challenging. Herein we demonstrate that [V6O13{(OCH2)3CCH2OH}2]2- (V6-OH) hybrid metal-oxo cluster can be used for selective protein oxidative cleavage and modifications.

Article Synopsis
  • Co-occurrence of metal oxo-anions like arsenate in drinking water can be harmful to human health, motivating the study of how to better predict their behavior in adsorption systems.
  • By integrating surface complexation models with pore surface diffusion models, researchers accurately predicted the adsorption behaviors of single and mixed solutes, helping to understand how different adsorbents interact with these contaminants.
  • The findings emphasized that enhancing the capacity and reactivity of adsorbents is more effective for improving water purification systems than merely focusing on pore design to minimize transport limitations.
