AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the interactions between thallium (Tl), potassium (K), and nucleosides using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, revealing different abundances in the formed complexes.
- Cytidine-Tl complexes were found to be the most abundant, with guanosine-Tl complexes following, while the abundance of cytidine-Tl relative to cytidine-K complexes changed based on stoichiometry.
- Thallium consistently resulted in more stable guanosine complexes compared to potassium, suggesting that Tl influences the stabilization of nucleoside tetramers.
Article Abstract
The complexes between Tl, K, and nucleosides were studied by using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. It was found that for complexes of 1:1 stoichiometry, thallium complexes with cytidine were the most abundant and thallium complexes with guanosine were the second most abundant ones. The relative abundances of cytidine-Tl to cytidine-K complexes depended on stoichiometry (at higher stoichiometry the potassium complexes were more abundant). In other words, the relative affinity of Tl and K to form cytidine complexes depends on the stoichiometry of the formed complexes. Guanosine-Tl complexes were more abundant than guanosine-K complexes, irrespective of stoichiometry. Both guanosine tetramer and mixed cytidine/guanosine tetramer were more abundant when they were stabilized by thallium than potassium. Therefore, Tl may affect the K stabilization of these tetramers.

Thallium-201 is an Auger electron-emitting radionuclide with significant potential for targeted molecular radiotherapy of cancer. It stands out among other Auger electron emitters by releasing approximately 37 Auger and Coster-Kronig electrons per decay, which is one of the highest numbers in its category. It has also a convenient half-life of 73 h, a stable daughter product, established production methods, and demonstrated high radiotoxicity.

Article Synopsis
- Long-term mining in the Lanmuchang area has contaminated soils with toxic elements like thallium (Tl), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg), affecting agricultural practices.
- The study examined how different types of manure (chicken, pig, and cattle) influenced Tl accumulation in the pepper plant Capsicum annuum under pollution stress, finding that chicken manure increased accumulation while pig and cattle manure inhibited it.
- Pig manure was most effective in reducing Tl levels in the plant by enhancing root structures that restricted Tl uptake, along with altering soil chemistry, while chicken manure promoted higher Tl absorption.

A series of triylenes of the heavy group 13 elements gallium, indium and thallium, carrying the pentaisopropylcyclopentadienyl ligand is reported. The compounds were characterized in solution and in the solid-state and their donor ligand properties in heterobimetallic complexes were investigated, whereby a series of tungsten carbonyl complexes was isolated. Furthermore, a new synthetic route towards a previously described lithium-aluminum heterobimetallic dimetallocene is reported, which also enabled the isolation of a heterobimetallic polydecker of lithium and gallium.

It is expected that two-dimensional (2D) metal nitrides (MNs) consisting of the 13th group elements of the periodic table and nitrogen, namely aluminium nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN) and thallium nitride (TlN), have enhanced physical and mechanical properties due to the honeycomb, graphene-like atomic arrangement characteristic of these compounds. The basis for the correct design and improved performance of nanodevices and complex structures based on 2D MNs from the 13th group is an understanding of the mechanical response of their components. In this context, a comparative study to determine the elastic properties of metal nitride nanosheets was carried out making use of the nanoscale continuum modelling (or molecular structural mechanics) method.

Understanding the environmental behavior of thallium (Tl) is crucial due to its high toxicity and increasing anthropogenic presence. This study investigated the adsorption and redox behaviors of Tl(I) with acid birnessite (AcBi) in the presence of 1,4-piperazine-diethanesulfonic acid (PIPES) and goethite under diffusion-limited conditions using Donnan reactors in aerobic and anaerobic environments. Our findings indicate that Tl(I) preferentially adsorbs onto AcBi, with capacities 20 to 100 times higher than onto goethite, even when AcBi is partial reduced by PIPES.
