The new uranium(IV) chlorophosphate compounds UCl4(POCl3) and [U2Cl9][PCl4] have been synthesized by the solid-state reactions of U, P2O5, and PCl5 at 648 K; the compounds UCl3(PO2Cl2) and U2Cl8(POCl3) have been synthesized at 648 K with the same reactants plus added S. Their structures are, respectively, chainlike, a simple salt, three-dimensional, and sheetlike. From ab initio calculations, U2Cl8(POCl3) and UCl3(PO2Cl2) are found to be ferromagnetic, whereas UCl4(POCl3) is found to be antiferromagnetic. U2Cl8(POCl3) is a strong metal, whereas UCl3(PO2Cl2) is a weaker metal. In contrast, UCl4(POCl3) has a finite band gap, with a value of 0.35 eV.

Half-metallic magnetism, characterized by metallic behavior in one spin direction and semiconducting or insulating behavior in the opposite spin direction, is an intriguing and highly useful physical property for advanced spintronics because it allows for the complete realization of 100% spin-polarized current. Particularly, half-metallic antiferromagnetism is recognized as an excellent candidate for the development of highly efficient spintronic devices due to its zero net magnetic moment combined with 100% spin polarization, which results in lower energy losses and eliminates stray magnetic fields compared to half-metallic ferromagnets. However, the synthesis and characterization of half-metallic antiferromagnets have not been reported until now as the theoretically proposed materials require a delicate and challenging approach to fabricate such complex compounds.

Transcriptomics is a powerful approach for functional genomics and systems biology, yet it can also be used for genetic part discovery. Here, we derive constitutive and light-regulated promoters directly from transcriptomics data of the basidiomycete red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous CBS 6938 (anamorph Phaffia rhodozyma) and use these promoters with other genetic elements to create a modular synthetic biology parts collection for this organism.

Scaffolding and Heavy-Atom Effects of Metal Chains Enhanced Tunable Long Persistent Luminescence in Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Key Laboratory of Chemical Additives for China National Light Industry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology, Xi'an 710021, China.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with long persistent luminescence (LPL) have attracted extensive research attention due to their potential applications in information encryption, anticounterfeiting technology, and security logic. The strategic combinations of organic phosphor linkers and metal ions lead to tremendous frameworks, which could unveil many undiscovered properties of organics. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a three-dimensional MOF (Cd-MOF) is reported, which demonstrates enhanced blue photoluminescence and a phosphorescent lifetime of 124 ms as compared to the pristine linker (HL) under ambient conditions due to the scaffolding and heavy-atom effects of metal chains in the framework.

Rearranged during transfection (RET) kinase is a validated therapeutic target for various cancers characterized by RET alterations. Although two selective RET inhibitors, selpercatinib and pralsetinib, have been approved by the FDA, acquired resistance through solvent-front mutations has been identified rapidly. Developing proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) targeting RET mutations offers a promising strategy to combat drug resistance.
