We describe an effective approach to producing electrochemical amphoteric character and tuning optical properties. Reversible step-wise protonation of quinoxaline annulated TTF-pyrrole derivatives promotes intramolecular electron-transfer and leads to formation of stable, fully charge-separated diradical states. This allows for the creation of low bandgap systems and NIR optical properties.

High-nuclearity polyoxometalate (POM) clusters are attractive building blocks (BBs) for the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to their high connectivity and inherently multiple metal centers as functional sites. This work demonstrates a strategy of step-wise growth on ring-shaped [PWO] precursor, which produced two new high-nuclearity polyoxotungstates, a half-closed [HPWO] {W} and a fully-closed [HPWO] {W}. By in situ synthesis, unique MOFs of copper triazole-benzoic acid (HL) complexes incorporating the negatively-charged {W} and {W} as nodes, {Cu(HL)W} HNPOMOF-1 and {Cu(HL)W} HNPOMOF-2, were constructed by delicately tuning the reaction conditions, mainly solution pH, which controls the formation of {W} and {W}, and at the same time the protonation of triazole-benzoic acid ligand thus its coordination mode to copper ion that creates the highest nuclearity POM-derived MOFs reported to date.

Background: Obesity is associated with alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Effects of glucocorticoids on adipose tissues appear to depend on the specific adipose depot, in which they take place. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of MRI-based adrenal gland volume as an imaging marker in association with different adipose tissue compartments.

Lanthanide luminescence is dominated by quenching by high-energy oscillators in the chemical environment. The rate of non-radiative energy transfer to a single HO molecule coordinated to a Eu ion exceeds the usual rates of emission by an order of magnitude. We know these rates, but the details of these energy transfer processes are yet to be established.

The proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions of tyrosine (Y) are instrumental to many redox reactions in nature. This study investigates how the local environment and the thermodynamic properties of Y influence its PCET characteristics. Herein, 2- and 4-mercaptophenol (MP) are placed in the well-folded αC protein (forming 2MP-αC and 4MP-αC) and oxidized by external light-generated [Ru(L)] complexes.

Non-aqueous absorbents (NAAs) have attracted increasing attention for CO capture because of their great energy-saving potential. Primary diamines which can provide high CO absorption loading are promising candidates for formulating NAAs but suffer disadvantages in regenerability. In this study, a promising strategy that using tertiary amines (TAs) as proton-transfer mediators was proposed to enhance the regenerability of an aminoethylethanolamine (AEEA, diamine)/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (A/D) NAA.
