Two borate chlorides LaBO(OH)Cl and CeBO(OH)Cl have been synthesized and characterized. Both of them exhibit structure similar to that of notable KBeBOF and feature two-dimensional [BO(OH)] layers constructed by [BO(OH)] fundamental building blocks. Thermal analyses, infrared spectroscopy, UV-vis-NIR spectra, and second harmonic generation measurement were performed to investigate their physical properties. The results show that both of them have high decomposition temperatures and large second-harmonic generation responses (2.3 and 2.1 × KHPO, respectively), and LaBO(OH)Cl possesses a deep-UV cutoff edge below 180 nm and large band gap. Moreover, the first-principle calculations were carried out to clarify the role of the electronic structure in determining the associated optical properties of LaBO(OH)Cl. These results demonstrate that LaBO(OH)Cl can be considered as a candidate for ultraviolet nonlinear optical material.

Ionothermal Synthesis of AmBOCl: A Chiral Cubic Americium Borate Cluster.

Inorg Chem

January 2025

Center for Hierarchical Waste Form Materials, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina 29208, United States.

Ionic liquids were used as low temperature solvents for the synthesis of new lanthanide and transuranic-element (TRU) borate cluster structures. Ionothermal synthesis with the ionic liquid [BMIm]Cl (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride) yielded the La, Nd, and Am containing phases LaBOCl, NdBOCl, and AmBOCl. The structures of the La, Nd, and Am borate clusters were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and found to be cubic, in the chiral space group 23.

Adding colour to ion-selective membranes.

An idea of using ion-exchanger salt containing optically active cations to prepare ion-selective membranes is proposed. Although the presence of an ion-exchanger in the composition of neutral ionophore based sensors is necessary, the choice of available salts for cation-selective sensors preparation, is usually limited to sodium or potassium compounds. In this work we propose application of an alternative salt, using a cation optically active both in absorption and emission mode as a mobile one.

Electronic address:

Hydrogels are promising wound dressings due to their extracellular matrix-like properties and tunable structure-function characteristics. Besides the physical isolation effect, hydrogel dressings are highly expected to possess tissue-adhesive performance and antibacterial capacity, which are beneficial for their clinical translations. Herein, a guar gum (GG)-based nanocomposite hydrogel was fabricated by mixing methacrylated GG (GGMA), acrylic acid, acrylated 3-aminophenylboronic acid, mangiferin (MF)-loaded cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) micelles (MF@CTAC) and radical initiator.

The pool of free, genetically encoded AA in plasma plays an essential role not only as substrate for every protein synthesized in the body but also as signaling molecules that regulate a wide range of physiological processes. Here we present a method for the analysis of 19 of the 20 encoded AA (except Cys) in dairy cow plasma. Isolated plasma or standards for the 19 AA were gravimetrically mixed with an internal standard mix consisting of C isotopes of each AA.

Perborate Activated Peroxymonosulfate Process for Improving the Coagulation Efficiency of by Polymeric Aluminum Chloride.

Molecules

November 2024

Hunan Engineering Research Center of Water Security Technology and Application, College of Civil Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha 410082, China.

In this study, the sodium perborate (SP)-activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) process was used to enhance the coagulation efficiency of cyanobacteria with polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC), aiming to efficiently mitigate the impact of algal blooms on the safety of drinking water production. The optimal concentrations of SP, PMS, and PAC were determined by evaluating the removal rate of OD and zeta potential of the algae. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed ternary PMS/SP/PAC process achieved a remarkable OD removal efficiency of 95.
