Chemisorption of Eu and Tb on SBA-15 functionalized with succinic groups has been studied by in situ steady-state fluorescence measurements. The enhancement of the emission sensitive bands indicates that both ions adsorb forming inner-sphere surface complexes. Adsorption is a fast process that attains equilibrium in about 5min. The variation of the peaks maxima (I and I, for europium, and I and I, for terbium) with the total ion concentration is accounted for by the sum of the contributions due to the adsorbed and free ions. The former contribution is langmuirian. At pH 4.5, the respective adsorption constants are 5×10 and 3×10M, and the maximum adsorption capacities are 5.10×10 and 5.23×10molg. The mismatch between the latter values and the number of attached carboxylic groups is discussed. Comparison with other functionalized mesoporous silicas indicates that the anchored succinic groups are very efficient for removing lanthanide ions from aqueous solutions.

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has attracted considerable attention in the field of biomedical engineering due to its potential for use in bone regeneration applications. The present study investigates the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) combined with calcium and cerium ions (BNC-Ce:CaP) in bone regeneration applications. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of monetite and hydroxyapatite phases in BNC-CaP, while BNC-Ce:CaP revealed an additional brushite phase.

Ln-MOFs, composed of lanthanide ions and functional organic ligands, are porous materials with tunable structures and unique luminescent properties. However, the interplay between ligand AIE properties and the framework's "antenna effect" on MOF morphology is understudied. Here, Tb-D-Cam-TPTB was synthesized via solvothermal method using TPTB (persulfurated arene) as the primary ligand, D-Cam as the auxiliary ligand, and Tb3+ as the metal ion.

Scintillators that convert ionizing radiation into low-energy photons are essential for medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Despite advances in X-ray scintillators, challenges remain in achieving high efficiency, environmental compatibility, stability, and flexibility. Here, we present experimental investigations of a new type of europium(III)-based hybrid ternary complex scintillators for improved X-ray detection and imaging.

Chemical selectivity is traditionally understood in the context of rigid molecular scaffolds with precisely defined local coordination and chemical environments that ultimately facilitate a given transformation of interest. By contrast, nature leverages dynamic structures and strong coupling to enable specific interactions with target species in otherwise complex media. Taking inspiration from nature, we demonstrate unconventional selectivity in the solvent extraction of light over heavy lanthanides using a conformationally flexible ligand called octadecyl acyclopa (ODA).
