The thiophene-modified rhodamine 6G (GYJ) has been synthesized as a novel chemosensor. The sensor has sufficiently high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of Fe and Al ions (M) by fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy with a strong ability for anti-interference performance. The binding ratio of M-GYJ complex was determined to be 2:1 according to the Job's plot. The binding constants for Fe and Al were calculated to be 3.91 × 10 and 5.26 × 10 M, respectively. All these unique features made it particularly favorable for cellular imaging applications. The obvious fluorescence microscopy experiments demonstrated that the probes could contribute to the detection of Fe and Al in related cells and biological organs with satisfying resolution. Graphical abstract GYJ has high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of Fe(III) and Al(III) with the binding ratio of 2:1.

To tackle the problem of developing efficient adsorbents for the selective removal of copper ions from wastewater, this investigation focused on the synthesis of Fe-GO/MMT/SA and Al-GO/MMT/SA copper ion adsorbent materials (Fe-GMS and Al-GMS), respectively, by merging two distinct metal ions (Fe(III) and Al(III)) with sodium alginate (SA), graphene oxide (GO), and montmorillonite (MMT). By introducing metal ions with different coordination configurations, the slit structure and pore density of the adsorbents can be effectively controlled, thereby enhancing the selectivity for copper ion adsorption. The results show that Fe-GMS has excellent adsorption capacity for Cu(II) compared with Al(III), and the adsorption capacity and distribution coefficient are 116.

The ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of epoxides with CO or anhydrides is a promising strategy to produce sustainable polycarbonates and polyesters. Currently, most catalysts are reliant on scarce and expensive cobalt as the active center, while more abundant aluminum and iron catalysts often suffer from lower activities. Here, two novel heterodinuclear catalysts, featuring abundant Al(III), Fe(III), and K(I) active centers, are synthesized, and their performance in the polymerization of four different monomer combinations is compared to that of their Co(III) analogue.

To remediate surface water as the Doce River and spring waters from Minas Gerais, Brazil, this study examined the possibility of natural serpentinite mining tailings as a sustainable alternative for removing aluminum (III), iron (III), and manganese (II). The study used a Box-Behnken experimental design to examine how initial metal concentration, adsorbate dosage, and adsorption time affect metal removal effectiveness. Results demonstrated impressive performance, with removal rates exceeding 80 % for Al(III) and Fe(III) within the initial 5 min, and 60 % for Mn(II) within 30 min.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the interactions and hydration characteristics of hydrated trivalent metal nitrate salts (Fe(NO3)·9H2O and Al(NO3)·9H2O) using advanced spectroscopic techniques like Raman and sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy across various frequency ranges.
  • Key findings include the effects of Lewis acidity of the metal ions on the spectral properties, specifically how it impacts the splitting and frequency shifts of nitrate bands, as well as highlighting unique solvation environments in solution.
  • Interestingly, aluminum nitrate disrupts surface water structure more significantly than iron nitrate, despite aluminum being a weaker Lewis acid, suggesting that aluminum's unique properties lead to more pronounced surface solvation effects.

Acid-base dissociable antibiotic-metal complexes are known to be emerging contaminants in the aquatic environments. However, little information is available on the photochemical properties and toxicity of these complex forms. This study investigated the spectral properties of three fluoroquinolones (FQs) with and without metal ions Fe(III), Cu(II), and Al(III) in solutions under different pH conditions, as well as evaluated the changes in toxicity due to the complex with these metal ions using luminescent bacteria (vibrio fischeri).
