Article Abstract

The pure rotational spectra of the FeCO radical in the ν2 (bending) and ν3 (Fe-C stretching) vibrational states of the ground X̃(3)Σ(-) electronic state were observed in the millimeter-wave region. The equilibrium rotational and centrifugal distortion constants were determined to be Be = 4374.631 (58) MHz and De = 1.1666 (20) kHz together with the spin-spin coupling constant λe = 691.89 (37) GHz and spin-rotation coupling constant γe = - 1079.4 (55) MHz with use of the millimeter-wave results and the ν1 IR data. The equilibrium bond length for Fe-C was derived to be 1.725 Å assuming that for C-O to be 1.159 Å. Since the vibronic symmetry of the excited state of bending vibration is (3)Π, the analysis of spectrum in the ν2 state required an effective spin-orbit interaction constant of A2 = 6.0219 (61) GHz together with three parity doubling constants of o2 = 36.168 (10) GHz, p2 = 85.18 (34) MHz, and q2 = 4.7024 (17) MHz. The effective spin-orbit interaction constant A2 is attributed to the vibronic mixing of the (3)Π excited electronic states. The vibronic mixing also cause the parity doubling constants o2 and p2, but the main contribution to q2 is given by the vibrational l-type doubling.

In this study, a petal-like ternary metal-layered double hydroxide (FeCoLa-LDH) was synthesized through a facile one-step hydrothermal method and in situ grown on carbon felt (CF). The FeCoLa-LDH/CF composite electrode was applied in a heterogeneous electro-Fenton (HEF) system for the degradation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MOX). Characterization revealed that La-doped FeCo-LDH/CF exhibited petal-like layered structure rather than particle's structure, with higher surface defect degree and an increased electroactive surface area (ESA) compared to FeCo-LDH/CF.

Controllable carbon monoxide (CO) release simulated by light-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents a promising approach for cancer therapy but is hampered by low CO release rate and low ROS generation of conventional photosensitizers in hypoxia tumor microenvironments. In this study, we developed a highly efficient nanoplatform (TPyNO-FeCO NPs) through co-encapsulating organic AIE photosensitizers (PSs) and CO prodrug (Fe(CO)), which are capable of light-triggered robust ROS generation and CO release for synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and CO gas therapy. The success of this nanoplatform leverages the design of a PS, TPyNO, with exceptional type I and type II ROS generation capabilities, achieved through the introduction of the α-photoinduced electron transfer (α-PET) process.

The peracetic acid (PAA)-based water purification process is often controlled by the solution pH. Herein, we explored the usage of biochar (BC) supported zero-valent iron/cobalt nanoparticles (Fe/Co@BC) for triggering PAA oxidation of sulfamethazine (SMT), and discovered the PAA activation mechanisms at different pHs. Fe/Co@BC exhibited extraordinary PAA activation efficiency over the pH range of 3.

Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are renowned for their exceptional capacity to degrade refractory organic pollutants due to their wide applicability, cost-effectiveness, and swift mineralization and oxidation rates. The primary sources of radicals in AOPs are persulfate (PS) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) ions, sparking significant interest in their mechanistic and catalytic aspects. To develop a novel nanocatalyst for SR-AOPs, particularly for PMS activation, we synthesized carbon-coated FeCo nanoparticles (NPs) using solvothermal methods based on the polyol approach.
