Published: May 2020

Charge transfer at P atoms in an N-heterocyclic carbene stabilized 6π-electron aromatic dicarbondiphosphide 1 has been observed upon interaction with a variety of small molecule substrates that feature a polar E-H bond (E = C, N, and O). As a result, these P atoms exhibit fleeting nucleophilicity and electrophilicity behaving as potential independent active sites, which effect the spontaneous addition of E-H bonds leading to a series of unsymmetrical 1,3-diphosphetane frameworks bearing P-C (2), P-N (6 and 7), and P-O bonds (8b, 8c, and 9). In addition, 1,3-diphosphetanium salts have been achieved when X-type substituents are weakly coordinating (i.e. [(CN)2CH]- (3), I- (4), and [(PhOH)2PhO]- (10)). The mechanisms of such transformations are investigated using density functional theory calculations.

Various contaminants are present in aquatic environment and pose potential threats to pelagic and benthic organisms, calling for effective risk assessment. Traditional risk assessments based on target analysis are useful when the principal contaminants responsible for ecological risk are known; however, these approaches become challenging when dealing with chemical mixtures. In addition, the compositions of chemical mixtures often differ in regions with different levels of socioeconomic development, requiring risk assessment methods that are applicable under different pollution scenarios.

Protein Corona Formation on Cadmium-Bearing Nanoparticles: Important Role of Facet-Dependent Binding of Cysteine-Rich Proteins.

Cadmium-bearing nanoparticles, such as nanoparticulate cadmium selenide (CdSe) and cadmium sulfide (CdS), widely exist in the environment and originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Risk assessment of these nanoparticles cannot be accurate without taking into account the properties of the protein corona that is acquired by the nanoparticles upon biouptake. Here, we show that the compositions of the protein corona on CdSe/CdS nanoparticles are regulated collectively by the surface atomic arrangement of the nanoparticles and the abundance and distribution of cysteine moieties of the proteins in contact with the nanoparticles.

Extreme high temperatures in the summer have become a global concern, and their risks to the inflammatory system have been largely unknown. Here we appraised the exposure risks of summer heatwaves by comparing the sera cytokine levels in healthy individuals under high and normal temperatures. In addition, we established a cell model with a 1.

Article Synopsis
  • * The COVID-19 lockdown allowed researchers to gather data on how prolonged stagnation in a public building affected water quality and the population of free-living amoeba (FLA) species from June 2020 to May 2021.
  • * Findings indicate that long-term stagnation led to increased populations of specific FLA species, revealing important connections between water stagnation and microbial presence, which can guide future water quality management efforts.
