The reduction of (Ph P)AuCl with NaBH in the presence of HSC(SiMe ) , leads to one of the largest metalloid gold clusters: Au S (PPh ) (1). Within 1 an octahedral Au core of gold atoms arranged as in Au metal is surrounded by 48 oxidized Au atoms of an Au S shell, a novel building block in gold chemistry. The protecting Au S shell is completed by additional 16 Au(PPh ) units, leading to a complete protection of the gold core. Within 1 the Au-Au distances get more molecular on going from the center to the ligand shell. Cluster 1 represents novel structural motives in the field of metalloid gold clusters which also are partly typical for metal atoms in metalloid clusters: M R (n>m).

The enhancement of Li-ion conductivity in 2D metalloid organic frameworks nodal element substitution.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

Frontiers Science Center for High Energy Material, Key Laboratory of Cluster Science, Ministry of Education, Beijing Key Laboratory of Photoelectronic/Electrophotonic Conversion Materials, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, No. 5, Zhongguancun South Street, Haidian District, Beijing 100081, P. R. China.

The development of solid-state electrolytes has become crucial for promoting the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries. Herein, the substitution of nodal elements from Si to Ge significantly improved the lithium ionic conductivity in 2D metalloid organic frameworks, resulting in an enhancement of approximately one order of magnitude.

A novel antimonotungstate (AT)-based heterometallic framework {[Er(HO)][Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)]}·50HO (, Hpdc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) was obtained through a synergistic strategy of in situ-generated transition-metal-encapsulated polyoxometalate (POM) building units and the substitution reaction. Its structural unit is composed of a tetra-Fe-substituted Krebs-type [Fe(Hpdc)(B-β-SbWO)] subunit and two [Er(HO)] cations. This subunit can be regarded as a product of carboxylic oxygen atoms of Hpdc ligands replacing active water ligands in the [Fe(HO)(B-β-SbWO)] species.

Metals in sediment of the lower Great Lakes and region-wide discoveries.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

School of Figheries, Aquaculture, and Aquatic Sciences, College of Agriculture, Auburn University, AL 36849, USA. Electronic address:

Thirteen elements were measured in 76 surface grab sediment samples and 90 segments of four cores from Lakes Erie and Ontario. By combining the data obtained previously from Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron, the spatial distribution, temporal trends, major influencing factors, anthropogenic enrichments, categorization, and ecological risks of target metals in sediment were evaluated for the Great Lakes region. Regionwide, Lake Ontario had the highest median concentrations for Ag, As, Cd, Zn, and Pb, while the highest Cr concentration was found in the Western Basin of Lake Erie.

A novel dual-mode detection method for microRNA-21 was developed. Photoluminescent (PL) and multiphonon resonant Raman scattering (MRRS) techniques were combined by using ZnTe nanoparticles as signal probes for reliable detection. The catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy was integrated with superparamagnetic FeO nanoparticle clusters (NCs) to enhance sensitivity.
