Iron chalcogenide superconductors have become one of the most investigated superconducting materials in recent years due to high upper critical fields, competing interactions and complex electronic and magnetic phase diagrams. The structural complexity, defects and atomic site occupancies significantly affect the normal and superconducting states in these compounds. In this work we review the vortex behavior, critical current density and high magnetic field pair-breaking mechanism in iron chalcogenide superconductors. We also point to relevant structural features and normal-state properties.

Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) are promising building blocks for designing materials and interfaces with unique properties. By incorporating heteroatoms into the core, the electronic and magnetic properties of NCs can be precisely tuned. To accurately predict these properties, density functional theory (DFT) is often employed, making the rigorous benchmarking of DFT results particularly important.

Acid mine drainage (AMD) pollutes natural waters, but some impacted systems show natural attenuation. We sought to identify the biogeochemical mechanisms responsible for the natural attenuation of AMD. We hypothesized that biogenic sulfide-mediated iron reduction is one mechanism and tested this in an experimental model system.

The development of non-copper-based materials for CO electroreduction to ethanol with high selectivity at large current density is highly desirable, but still a great challenge. Herein, we report iron group metal ions of M (M=Fe, Co, or Ni)-doped amorphous/crystalline SnSe/SnSe nanorod/nanosheet hierarchical structures (a/c-SnSe/SnSe) for selective CO electroreduction to ethanol. Iron group metal ions doping induces multiple active sites at the interface of M-doped SnSe/SnSe p-n heterojunction, which strengthens *CO intermediate binding for further C-C coupling to eventual ethanol generation.

With the interest and knowing the importance of ferrocenyl conjugates, a direct amidation of ferrocenyl aldehyde has been developed under feasible conditions. Varieties of amines has been oxidatively coupled with ferrocene aldehyde in the presence of highly economical and robustly stable iron chalcogenide ironcarbonyl clusters [FeE(CO), E= S, Se, and Te] and TBHP. The reaction worked in greener solvent water at a moderate temperature of 70 °C and the ferrocenyl-amides in just 30 minutes.
