AI Article Synopsis
- The water oxidation catalyst [Ru(tpy)(L)(OH)] is under investigation for its effectiveness in catalyzing water oxidation.
- Recent research suggests a new mechanism involving the formation of a RuN-oxide rather than the traditional Ru=O species, which has been the focus of earlier studies.
- This proposed mechanism may help clarify conflicting data from previous experiments regarding the catalyst's behavior during the oxidation process.
Article Abstract
The widely studied water oxidation catalyst [Ru(tpy)(L)(OH)] (tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, L = bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine or L = bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine) is still under scrutiny. Here we present a new suggestion for one of the key steps, results that could resolve conflicting interpretations of experimental results. Instead of the previously proposed Ru[double bond, length as m-dash]O species, a proposed key species in water oxidation catalysis, we propose that the third oxidation of Ru could lead to a RuN-oxide, via rapid water coordination followed by oxidation and concerted N-O bond formation.

Effect of modified investment and casting system on the recasting properties of high-gold alloy.
J Dent Sci
December 2024
School of Dentistry, College of Dental Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Background/purpose: High gold (Au) alloys have many advantages, such as good mechanical properties and stable chemical properties for dental restoration. The purpose of this investigation was to investigate the effect of zirconia (ZrO)-magnesia (MgO)-based investment combined with an argon arc vacuum pressure (Ar-arc VP) casting process on the recasting of high Au alloys.
Materials And Methods: The recasting Au alloys were compared between the control group of conventional SiO-based investment/horizontal centrifugal (HC) casting and the experimental group of ZrO-MgO-based investment/Ar-arc VP die casting.

An innovative colorimetric sensing strategy was developed for the detection of glucose by the integration of glucose aptamer, glucose oxidase (GOx), and horseradish peroxidase (HRP), termed aptamer proximal enzyme cascade reactions (APECR). In the presence of glucose, aptamer binding enables GOx to catalyze glucose oxidation into HO efficiently. Subsequently, the adjacent HRP catalyzes the oxidation of the peroxidase substrate, 2,2'-biazobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), utilizing the generated HO, resulting in a distinct color change.
