Efficient removal of gold ions from wastewater has become a hot research topic. A new metal-organic framework material (PAR-UiO-66) was prepared by post-modification of UiO-66-NH. A series of characterizations proved the successful preparation of PAR-UiO-66. The batch adsorption experiment was carried out. Under the room temperature (298 K) of and pH 4.0, the optimal adsorption capacity of PAR-UiO-66 for gold ions was 683.45 mg/g, which was an increase of 426.8 mg/g compared with that of UiO-66-NH. The adsorption of gold ions on PAR-UiO-66 accords with pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm modles. The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. PAR-UiO-66 has good selectivity and still has 92.5% adsorption efficiency after five repeated adsorptions. The adsorption mechanism is electrostatic attraction, reduction and chelation.

In this investigation, a novel tetradentate Schiff base ligand, (ligand L) was synthesized using a simple chemical route assisted by triethylenetetramine with 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde in ethanol. The chemical structure of the as-synthesized ligand was characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. This ligand was then employed to modify the working electrode of screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) for developing a modified L/SPCE sensor finalized to detection of lead ions (Pb).

The rising demand for gold requires innovative methods for its recovery from e-waste. Here we present the synthesis of two tetrazine-based vinyl-linked covalent organic frameworks: TTF-COF and TPE-COF that adsorb gold ions and nanoparticles and catalyze the carboxylation of terminal alkynes. These covalent organic frameworks have low band gaps and high photocurrent responses.

Cisplatin-based platinum compounds are important clinical chemotherapeutic agents that participate in most tumor chemotherapy regimens. Through density-functional theory calculations, the formation and stability of the inorganic oxide carrier, the mechanisms of the hydrolysis reaction of the activated platinum compound, and its binding mechanism with DNA bases can be studied. The higher the oxidation state of Pt (II to IV), the more electrons transfer from the magnesia-gold composite material to the platinum compound.

Direct preparation of silver nanoclusters is of great significance for their applications. In this work, by selecting sodium cyanoborohydride as a weak reducing agent to control the kinetics of the reduction reaction, we successfully prepared silver nanoclusters protected by thiol-containing ligands, including mercaptosuccinic acid, cysteine, and glutathione. Based on the silver nanoclusters protected by mercaptosuccinic acid, silver-gold alloy nanoclusters were obtained through a gold doping reaction.

Gatifloxacin (GAT), an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone (FQ) class, is a toxicant that may contaminate food products. In this study, a method of ultrasensitive immunochromatographic detection of GAT was developed for the first time. An indirect format of the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) was performed.
