Four selenoarsenates with different transition-metal complexes [Co(tren)H]AsSe [tren = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine] (); [Ni(dien)](AsSe) (dien = diethylenetriamine) (); [Zn(tren)](AsSe) () and [Mn(tren)](AsSe) () were solvothermally synthesized in a mixed solvent of organic amine and alcohol solution. The compounds have pyramidal/tetrahedral structures (AsSe/AsSe), and contain transition metal (Co, Ni, Zn and Mn) complex that form distinct zero-dimensional (0-D) clusters. Arsenic atoms form a tetrahedron in compounds and ; consists of discrete tetrahedral (AsSe) and transition metal complex [Co(tren)]; is composed of an anion [AsSe] cluster and transition metal complex [Ni(dien)]. In compounds and , arsenic atom forms a pyramidal AsSe and the two pyramidal AsSe share a corner connection to form a dimer [AsSe]; is characterized as a cluster consisting of two unsaturated [Zn(tren)] caiton linked by a dimer (AsSe) linkage; in , unsaturated [Mn(tren)] caiton is linked to two trigonal-bipyramidal [Mn(tren)]Se via dimer (AsSe) to form [Mn(tren)][AsSe] cluster. To our knowledge, [Zn(tren)](AsSe) () is the first zinc selenoarsenate containing the (AsSe) anion type. Furthermore, the Mn ions adopt a trigonal-biyramidal (five-coordinate) and octahedral (six-coordinate) environment. Adding KCO/CsCO to the synthesis system is necessary and may act as a mineralizer. Several properties of compounds - have been characterized in our studies, in particular their strong photocurrent response characteristics under visible light irradiation.

Background: Having a great amount of sedentary time is common among older adults and increases with age. There is a strong need for tools to reduce sedentary time and promote adherence to reduced sedentary time, for which eHealth interventions have the potential to be useful. Interventions for reducing sedentary time in older adults have been found to be more effective when elements of self-management are included.

Whole-grain foods (WGFs) constitute a large part of humans' daily diet, making risk identification of WGFs important for health and safety. However, existing research on WGFs has paid more attention to revealing the effects of a single hazardous substance or various hazardous substances on food safety, neglecting the mutual influence between individual hazardous substances and between hazardous substances and basic information. Therefore, this paper proposes a causal inference of WGFs' risk based on a generative adversarial network (GAN) and Bayesian network (BN) to explore the mutual influence between hazardous substances and basic information.

A novel fluorescence sensing nanoplatform (CDs/AuNCs@ZIF-8) encapsulating carbon dots (CDs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) within a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was developed for ratiometric detection of formaldehyde (FA) in the medium of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (NHOH·HCl). The nanoplatform exhibited pink fluorescence due to the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect of AuNCs and the internal filtration effect (IFE) between AuNCs and CDs. Upon reaction between NHOH·HCl and FA, a Schiff base formed via aldehyde-diamine condensation, releasing hydrochloric acid.

The widespread concern over nanoplastics (NPs) has prompted extensive research into their environmental impact. Concurrently, the study examined the combined toxicity of PS NPs and cadmium (Cd) on wheat. As indicated by the results of in situ Micro-ATR/FTIR, the aging process of PS NPs (50 nm) led to an increase in carbonyl and hydroxyl groups on their surface, enhancing hydrophilicity and consequently, the adsorption capacity for Cd.

Catharanthus roseus is a medicinal plant widely known for producing monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), including therapeutic compounds such as vinblastine and vincristine, which are crucial for cancer treatment. However, the naturally low concentration of these alkaloids in plant tissues poses a significant challenge for large-scale production. This study explores the application of siderophore-producing bacteria for seed bacterization of Catharanthus roseus to enhance the production of MIAs, including vindoline, catharanthine, and vinblastine.
