The microwave-driven synthesis of a heteropoly blue cluster yields a redox active cluster, [(HPO3)6Mo21O60(H2O)4](8-), templated by six phosphite anions whereby two phosphites template a tri-lucunary {Mo15} Dawson structure, and one templates a {Mo6} ring with two of the three remaining phosphites acting as bridging ligands connecting the ring to the {Mo15}.

Microbial fuel cells to monitor natural attenuation around groundwater plumes.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

January 2025

School of Natural and Built Environment, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT7 1NN, UK.

This research presents a straightforward and economically efficient design for a microbial fuel cell (MFC) that can be conveniently integrated into a borehole to monitor natural attenuation in groundwater. The design employs conventional, transparent, and reusable PVC bailers with graphite tape and granular activated carbon to create high surface area electrodes. These electrodes are connected across redox environments in nested boreholes through a wire and variable resistor setup.

A pronounced nucleophilicity in combination with a distinct redox non-innocence is a unique feature of a coordinated ligand, which in the current case, leads to unprecedented carbon-centered reactivity patterns: A carbodiphosphorane-based (CDP) pincer-type rhodium complex allows to cleave two C-Cl-bonds of geminal dichlorides via two consecutive SN2-type oxidative additions resulting in the formation of a stabilized carbene fragment. In the presence of a suitable reductant the carbene fragment can even be converted into olefines or hydrodehalogenation products in a catalytic reaction. The developed method can also be used to convert chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as CH2ClF to fluoromethane and methane.

The abundance and behaviour of all hematopoietic components display daily oscillations, supporting the involvement of circadian clock mechanisms. The daily variations of immune cell functions, such as trafficking between blood and tissues, differentiation, proliferation, and effector capabilities are regulated by complex intrinsic (cell-based) and extrinsic (neuro-hormonal, organism-based) mechanisms. While the role of the transcriptional/translational molecular machinery, driven by a set of well-conserved genes (Clock genes), in nucleated immune cells is increasingly recognized and understood, the presence of non-transcriptional mechanisms remains almost entirely unexplored.

Chronic itch which is primarily associated with dermatologic, systemic, or metabolic disorders is often refractory to most current antipruritic medications, thus highlighting the need for improved therapies. Oxidative damage is a novel determinant of spinal pruriceptive sensitization and synaptic plasticity. The resolution of oxidative insult by molecular hydrogen has been manifested.
