We demonstrate the application of the combined experimental-computational approach for studying the anionic impurities in hydroxyapatite (HAp). Influence of the carbonation level (x) on the concentration of the NO3(2-) radicals in the HAp nanocrystals of Ca10-xNax(PO4)6-x(CO3)x(OH)2 with x in the range 0 < x < 2 and average sizes of 30 nm is investigated by different analytical methods including electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Stable NO3(2-) radicals are formed under X-ray irradiation of nano-HAp samples from NO3(-) ions incorporated in trace amounts during the wet synthesis process. Density functional theory (DFT) based calculations show energetic preference for the PO4 group substitution by NO3(-) ions. Comparison of the calculated and experimental spectroscopic parameters (g and hyperfine tensors) reveals that EPR detects the NO3(2-) radicals located in the positions of the PO4 group only. It is shown that with the increase in x, the carbonate ions substitute the NO3(2-)/NO3(-) ions. DFT calculations confirm that carbonate incorporation in HAp structure is energetically more favorable than the formation of the nitrate defect.

Article Synopsis
- Lead is a major environmental pollutant that negatively impacts plants and living organisms; this study looked at the effects of oxalic acid (OA) and salicylic acid (SA) on plants under lead (Pb) stress over varying durations.
- The experiment involved treating soil with lead nitrate to induce stress, followed by applications of OA, SA, and their combination, measuring key indicators like protein content, malondialdehyde (MDA), and enzyme activity in maize leaves.
- Results showed that Pb stress significantly decreased protein levels and increased MDA, but treatment with OA, SA, and especially the combination OA+SA substantially improved recovery, boosting protein content by 45% and reducing MDA by 39%.

Objectives: Pb stress has a negative impact on plant growth by interfering with photosynthesis and releasing reactive oxygen species, causing major risks such as heavy metal ion accumulation in the soil matrix. A proteomics experiment was conducted to determine whether protein levels of Dendrobium huoshanense changed in response to Pb stress seven to fifteen days after being sprayed with a 200 mg/L Pb (NO) solution. The proteomic data we gathered provides a model for investigations into the mechanisms underlying Dendrobium plant resistance to heavy metal stress.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have exhibited appreciable potential as catalytic agents in the field of material science. The research of new MOFs with dual functions in electrocatalysis and photocatalysis under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is extremely pivotal for renewable energy applications. Hence, we synthesized a series of three-dimensional MOFs, namely, [Cd(bimb)(HITA)] (-), {[Cd(bimb)](NO)} (-), and [Cd(bimb)(ONO)] (-) (bimb = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene; HITA = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid), with applicability in the oxygen evolution reaction process and Fenton-like photocatalysis.

Two novel halogenated (Br- and F-) quinazoline derivatives, namely [()-4-(2-((6-bromopyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl)quinazoline] (L1) and [()-4-(2-((3-fluoropyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazinyl) quinazoline] (L2), were synthesized and characterized. Their interaction with a series of metal(II) ions (= Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)) resulted in the formation of six mononuclear complexes characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The complexes bear the formulae [Ni(L)](NO) (1), [Zn(L)](NO)(PF) (2), [Cd(L)(HO)(CHOH)(NO)](NO) (3), [Cu(L)Cl] (4), [Ni(L)](NO) (5) and [Mn(L)(CHOH)(Cl)] (6).
