The enthalpy and sticking probability for the dissociative adsorption of methyl iodide were measured on Pt(111) at 320 K and at low coverages (up to 0.04 ML, where 1 ML is equal to one adsorbate molecule for every surface Pt atom) using single crystal adsorption calorimetry (SCAC). At this temperature and in this coverage range, methyl iodide produces adsorbed methyl (CH(3,ad)) plus an iodine adatom (I(ad)). Combining the heat of this reaction with reported energetics for Iad gives the standard heat of formation of adsorbed methyl, ΔH(f)(0)(CH3,ad), to be −53 kJ/mol and a Pt(111)–CH3 bond energy of 197 kJ/mol. (The error bar of ±20 kJ/mol for both values is limited by the reported heat of formation of I(ad).) This is the first direct measurement of these values for any alkyl fragment on any surface.

Article Synopsis
- The removal of radioactive gaseous iodine, especially methyl iodide, is essential for safe nuclear energy management and waste disposal, but effective capture methods are still being researched.* -
- This study used a "theory-first" approach to create a new material, piperazine-based covalent organic framework (Pip-COF), designed specifically for high capture efficiency of methyl iodide.* -
- Testing showed Pip-COF performs exceptionally well, capturing up to 39 mg/g at 75 °C and 78 mg/g at 25 °C, far exceeding previous materials, and the study highlights the importance of rational design in addressing environmental challenges.*

Nitrogen-rich small molecules are frequently doped into porous materials to enhance their iodine adsorption properties. To explore how imidazole confinement in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) affects iodine adsorption, we obtained a UiO-66-based composite by embedding imidazole in UiO-66 pores via solid-phase adsorption (Im@UiO-66). Characterization confirmed that imidazole was successfully confined within the UiO-66 pores, with each unit of UiO-66 accommodating up to 27 imidazole molecules.

Article Synopsis
- Novel copolyimides were created using specific materials (ODPA, BIS P, and DAP) through a two-step process involving thermal imidization followed by quaternization with methyl iodide.
- The resulting copolyimides were analyzed for structure using various methods (FTIR, NMR, EDX) and showed varying thermal stability and solubility characteristics, especially those with less than 0.3 DAP content.
- The best ionic conductivity (0.234 S cm) was observed in samples with 0.3 DAP and a specific level of quaternization, while higher DAP contents led to instability likely due to hydrolysis.*

Japan's first commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing plant is expected to release radioiodine into the atmosphere, and orchard grass plants grown in the vicinity of this plant may absorb this radioiodine. In this study, we investigated the mechanism underlying the absorption and volatilization of iodine in the leaves of orchard grass. Our findings suggest that iodine can be transferred from the leaves of this grass to the atmosphere via two routes: direct volatilization and absorption followed by volatilization.
