Amphiphilic five-coordinate iron(III) complexes with {N2 O2 Cl} and {N2 O3 } coordination spheres are studied to elucidate the roles of electronic structure on the mechanisms for current rectification. The presence of an apical chlorido or phenolato ligand plays a crucial role, and the [Fe(III) {N2 O2 Cl}] species supports an asymmetric mechanism while its [Fe(III) {N2 O3 }] counterpart seems to allow for unimolecular mechanism. The effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents in the ligand frameworks are also considered.

The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe(BNPAO)(F) () and [Fe(BNPAOH)(F)(THF)](BF) (), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either or led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe(BNPAO)(F)(μ-F)] (), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe(BNPAO)(I) (), was prepared and reacted with O to give the mononuclear complex -Fe(BNPAO)(OH)(I) ().

We are facing a world-wide shortage of clean drinking water which will only be further exacerbated by climate change. The development of reliable and affordable methods for water remediation is thus of utmost importance. Chlorine (which forms active hypochlorites in solution) is the most commonly used disinfectant due to its reliability and low cost.

Phytate in plants (inositol phosphates, InsPs) affects mineral bioavailability. However, methods for their quantification may lead to variable results, and some are nonspecific (spectrophotometric techniques). In this study, ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was coupled with post-column derivatization to allow fluorescence detection (FLD, λ324/λ364 nm) of InsPs.

Article Synopsis
  • Fe(III) complexes with carboxylic acids are crucial for environmental photochemistry and could be effective in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).
  • The study presents two methods to accurately determine quantum yields for photolysis and hydroxyl (OH) radical generation from these complexes when exposed to UV light.
  • New findings establish a correlation between the quantum yields of OH generation for various Fe complexes and resolve discrepancies in previous literature, enhancing the understanding of their efficiency in environmental applications.

Since non-thermal atmospheric-pressure ("cold") plasma sources, such as the dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD), have appeared to be remarkably active in wound healing medicine, the elucidation of cold plasma safety and possible secondary undesirable effects becomes of paramount importance. Selenium-containing amino acids, which are commonly incorporated in many enzymes, came in the spotlight for elucidating the plasma impact as easily oxidizable natural targets. The scope of this study was to analyse the impact of non-thermal plasma on selenium-containing amino acids.
