It is widely considered that aqueous chlorine atoms (Cl˙) convert to the species HClOH˙ with a half life of about 3 μs and that this species plays an important role in the chemistry of aqueous chlorine atoms. Here it is shown that there is no firm evidence for the existence of HClOH˙ as a species distinct from Cl˙, that the chemistry attributed to HClOH˙ can be accounted for by other well-established species, and that almost all published mechanisms that include reactions of HClOH˙ violate the principle of detailed balancing. More than 100 publications are identified that violate the principle of detailed balancing with HClOH˙ reactions. Proposals for the participation of HClOH˙ in reaction mechanisms originated in studies of the photochemical peroxydisulfate/chloride reaction; here we provide a revised mechanism that omits HClOH˙, complies with the principle of detailed balancing, and has a minimal number of reaction steps.

There is significant interest in monitoring abiotic decomposition of chlorinated solvents at contaminated sites due to large uncertainties regarding the rates of abiotic attenuation of trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) under field conditions. In this study, an innovative passive sampling tool was developed to quantify acetylene, a characteristic product of abiotic reduction of TCE or PCE, in groundwater. The sampling mechanism is based on the highly specific and facile click reaction between acetylene and an azide compound to form a biologically and chemically stable triazole product.

The tumor-specific efficacy of the most current anticancer therapeutic agents, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), oligonucleotides, and photosensitizers, is constrained by limitations such as poor cell penetration and low drug delivery. In this study, we addressed these challenges by developing, a positively charged, amphiphilic Chlorin e6 (Ce6)-conjugated, cell-penetrating anti-PD-L1 peptide nanomedicine (CPPD1) with enhanced cell and tissue permeability. The CPPD1 molecule, a bioconjugate of a hydrophobic photosensitizer and strongly positively charged programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) binding cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), is capable of self-assembling into nanoparticles with an average size of 199 nm in aqueous solution without the need for any carriers.

Employing electrochemistry for the selective functionalization of liquid alkanes allows for sustainable and efficient production of high-value chemicals. However, the large potentials required for C(sp)-H bond functionalization and low water solubility of such alkanes make it challenging. Here we discover that a Pt/IrO electrocatalyst with optimized Cl binding energy enables selective generation of Cl free radicals for C-H chlorination of alkanes.

Dichloroacetic acid (DCAA), trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), and bromate (BrO) are disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment and pose health risks. Rapid and reliable detection of these DBPs is essential for ensuring water safety. Non-suppressed ion chromatography (IC)-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (IC-ESI-MS/MS) offers a promising approach for simultaneous analysis of organic haloacetic acids (HAAs) and inorganic oxyhalides, but previous methods using toxic methylamine can pose health risks.

Herein hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (hPEI) cryogels are reported for the selective and reversible adsorption of elemental chlorine. The cryogels are prepared in an aqueous solution by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde at subzero temperatures. The final macroporous composites bearing ammonium chloride groups are obtained after freeze-drying.
