The hexanuclear [NaFe(tris-cyclo-salophen)(THF)], , and the trinuclear [NaFe(tris-cyclo-salophen)(py)], , Fe(II) clusters can be easily assembled in one step from the ligand-based reduction of the [Fe(salophen)(THF)] complex. These complexes consist of triangular cores where three Fe(II) ions are held together, within range of bonding interaction, by the hexa-amide, hexaphenolate macrocyclic ligand . The ligand is perfectly suited for binding three Fe(II) centers at short distances, allowing for strong magnetic coupling between the Fe(II) centers. The macrocyclic ligand is generated by the reductive coupling of the imino groups of three salophen ligands, resulting in three new C-C bonds. The six electrons stored in the ligand become available for the reduction of carbon dioxide with selective formation of carbonate.

Microorganisms that utilize organic matter to reduce Fe oxides/hydroxides constitute the primary geochemical processes controlling the formation of high-arsenic (As) groundwater. Biogenic secondary iron minerals play a significant role in As migration. However, the influence of quinone electron shuttles and competitive anionic phosphate on this process has not been thoroughly studied.

The synthesis of coal bottom ash-induced zeolite (Si-Al material) has been widely reported; however, the selective recovery of the three main elements, viz., Si, Al, and Fe, from coal bottom ash for the synthesis of reactive adsorbents has not yet been reported. In this study, we separated the magnetic and non-magnetic fractions of coal bottom ash to selectively recover Fe and Si-Al for synthesizing nanoscale zero-valent iron@zeolite (NZVI@ZBA) composites with uniform formation of Fe(0) nanoparticles on the ZBA surface.

Iron (Fe) minerals possess a huge specific surface area and high adsorption affinity, usually considered as "rust tanks" of organic carbon (OC), playing an important role in global carbon storage. Microorganisms can change the chemical form of Fe by producing Fe-chelating agents such as side chains and form a stable complex with Fe(III), which makes it easier for microorganisms to use. However, in seasonal frozen soil thawing, the succession of soil Fe-cycling microbial communities and their coupling relationship with Fe oxides and Fe-bound organic carbon (Fe-OC) remains unclear.

Molecular materials that exhibit synergistic coupling between luminescence and spin-crossover (SCO) behaviors hold significant promise for applications in molecular sensors and memory devices. However, the rational design and underlying coupling mechanisms remain substantial challenges in this field. In this study, we utilized a luminescent complementary ligand pair as an intramolecular luminophore to construct a new Fe-based SCO complex, namely [FeLL](BF)·HO (1-Fe, L is a 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (TPY) derivative ligand and L is 2,6-di-1-pyrazol-1-yl-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid), and two isomorphic analogs (2-Co, [CoLL](BF)·HO and 3-Zn, [ZnLL](BF)·HO).

The catalytic efficiency of M-Htpda pincer complexes (M=Mn(I), Fe(II), Co(III)) in CO hydrogenation, emphasizing the role of transition metal variability have been discussed. The DFT analysis demonstrates that complexes with low αR values form weaker M-H bonds, enhancing catalyst reactivity with the elongation of M-H bond. The analysis further displays excellent catalytic performance for Mn-Htpda (ΔE=20.
