Reactions of [Cp* Fe] with the Lewis acid [Zn(C F ) ] in the presence of [(PhC(S)S) ], 9,10-phenanthrenedione or 4,5-pyrenedione yield the salt [Cp* Fe][(PhC(S)S)Zn(C F ) ] 1, [Cp* Fe][((C H O )Zn(C F ) )⋅] 4, and [Cp* Fe][((C H O )Zn(C F ) )⋅] 5, respectively. The latter two species represent the first examples of isolable zinc-containing radical anions. While [(PhC(S)S) ] binds weakly to [Zn(C F ) ], the diones afford the isolable adducts [(C H O )Zn(C F ) ] 2 and [(C H O )Zn(C F ) ] 3. Cyclic voltammetry and computational studies support the view that 4 and 5 are formed via single electron transfer (SET) to the donor-acceptor adducts, 2 and 3, respectively. Subsequent treatment of 4 and 5 with [NC H NMe ] affords [Zn(C F ) (NC H NMe ) ] with liberation of the dione, and regeneration of [Cp* Fe].

Article Synopsis
  • Bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs) are versatile materials used in tissue regeneration, designed to have different micro/nanostructures for specific applications.
  • The study focused on creating zinc-containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (ZnRBGNs) with a unique nanorod shape and mesoporous structure, enhancing their functionality for hard and soft tissue repair.
  • Results show that ZnRBGNs are non-toxic at low concentrations, promote favorable immune responses, and improve antioxidant activity compared to standard bioactive glass nanoparticles, indicating their potential for better tissue regeneration.

Highly efficient recovery of Zn (II) from zinc-containing wastewater by tourmaline tailings geopolymers to in-situ construct nanoscale ZnS for the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride.

While treating zinc-containing wastewater, recovering zinc for reuse as a secondary resource has significant environmental and economic benefits. Herein, based on the alkali-activated tourmaline tailings geopolymers (TTG) after adsorption of zinc ions (Zn (II)), a series of new composites with in-situ construction ZnS nanoparticles on TTG (ZnS/TTG) were synthesized, and used as photocatalysts for the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in solution. Specifically, ZnS nanoparticles were uniformly and stably distributed in the layered structure of TTG, interweaving with each other to generate an interfacial electric field, which could induce more photocarrier generation.

Metalloenzymes often utilize radicals in order to facilitate chemical reactions. Recently, DeGrado and co-workers have discovered that model proteins can efficiently stabilize semiquinone radical anion produced by oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (DTBC) in the presence of two zinc ions. Here, we show that the number and the nature of metal ions have relatively minor effect on semiquinone stabilization in model proteins, with a single metal ion being sufficient for radical stabilization.

Background: Energy production is a necessary process to continue physical activities, and exercise is associated with more oxygen consumption and increase of oxidative stress. what seems important is the numerical relationship between antioxidant and free radicals. Although the activity of some enzymes increases with physical activities, but it is possible that gene expression of this enzyme is not changed during exercise.
