An extremely large displacement of the indium site in In-S octahedra in LnOInS (Ln = La, Ce, and Pr) was found in synchrotron X-ray diffraction. LaOInS with off-center indium in In-S octahedra exhibited a wider optical band gap than CeOInS and PrOInS with on-center indium. Therefore, the electronic structure of LnOInS is governed by the indium site with an extremely large displacement. All LnOInS produced H gas under visible light irradiation in the presence of sacrificial electron donors.

The presence of oxygen vacancies (V) in electrocatalysts plays a significant role in improving the selectivity and activity of CO reduction reaction (CORR). In this study, 1D material with large surface area is utilized to enable uniform V formation on the catalyst. 1D structured indium selenoiodide (InSeI) is synthesized and used as an electrocatalyst for the conversion of CO to formate.

There are no clear indicators to predict the outcome of patients with immune thrombocytopenia or the response to drugs. The work of Durand et al. shows that Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy is useful in identifying those patients who will benefit from splenectomy and lays the groundwork for studies demonstrating the increased corticosteroid dependency and rituximab refractoriness of the hepatic platelet sequestration group.

The opportunistic pathogen develops increasing resistance toward even the most potent antibiotics. Like other bacteria, the pathogen produces a number of virulence factors including metallophores, which constitute an important group. Pseudomonads produce the iron-chelating metallophore (siderophore) pyochelin, which, in addition to its iron-scavenging ability, is an effector for the transcriptional regulator PchR in its Fe-bound form (ferripyochelin).

In primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), predictors of disease evolution and treatment response are needed. Data based on the site of platelet destruction are scarce. We performed a retrospective single-centre study of adult patients with primary ITP undergoing at least one Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy (IPS) between 2009 and 2018.

Two In(III) - pyridinecarboxylates ([In(Pic)(NO)(HO)] (InPic; HPic = picolinic acid), [In(HDpic)(Dpic)(HO)]·5HO (InDpic; HDpic = dipicolinic acid), have been synthesized by one-step procedure. The complexes composition was confirmed by physicochemical analyses and X-ray diffraction confirmed molecular structure of both complexes. Moreover, complex species speciation was described in both systems by potentiometry and H NMR spectroscopy and mononuclear complex species were determined; [In(Pic)] (logβ = 6.
