A new luminescent Cd compound, poly[[μ-1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene]{μ-5-[(3-carboxylphenoxy)methyl]isophthalato}cadmium(II)], [Cd(CHO)(CHN)] or [Cd(HL)(1,4-bib)] {HL is 5-[(3-carboxyphenoxy)methyl]isophthalic acid and 1,4-bib is 1,4-bis(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene}, I, has been synthesized successfully from Cd and a semirigid tricarboxylic ligand under hydrothermal conditions. Structure analysis shows that I is a two-dimensional structure with the point symbol {4.6}. The three-dimensional framework is constructed by O-H...O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. Furthermore, the obtained Cd compound displays high solvent stability and excellent thermal stability, as shown by powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry measurements. Studies of the luminescence properties reveal that compound I can act as a promising luminescent sensor for detecting Fe cations and Cr oxyanions with high selectivity and low detection limits (0.19 µM for Fe and 1.13 µM for CrO), and is additionally free from the interference of other ions. The mechanism of selective quenching was studied by measuring the UV-Vis absorption of the host compound and the target analytes.

Secondary minerals in mine waste materials impose strong controls on water quality by scavenging solutes of concern. This study investigates the mineralogical and compositional characteristics of secondary Fe(oxy)hydroxides and Ca-sulfates, two globally ubiquitous secondary precipitates, in weathered mine waste rock. Bulk analyses show that Si, Ca, Fe, Al, and S-bearing primary phases were the most abundant in the entire samples, but up to a few wt% of secondary Fe(oxy)hydroxides and Ca-sulfates were present as well.

The coadsorption of anionic and cationic pollutants on adsorbents holds considerable importance in the development of relevant removal technologies and the understanding of pollutant transport in complex environmental media. Herein, tungsten (W), an emerging contaminant, and nickel (Ni) were chosen as two differently charged inorganic pollutants to investigate their removal characteristics on a magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) prepared via microwave radiation. In the single systems, the amount of adsorbed W on LDH was initially increased and then decreased with increasing initial W concentration.

Oligomerization of monomeric molybdate and tungstate oxyanions in the presence of organometallic cations produces a group of organometallic-polyoxometalate clusters, which have diverse structures based on cubane-like {MO} units resembling the structure of oxide surfaces. This work investigated the oligomerization of [MoO] and [WO] oxyanions in aqueous solutions in the presence of {Ru(CH)} as the organometallic structure-directing agents. The reactions produced a mixture of several species, and fractional crystallization by adjusting crystallization temperature and molar ratios of Ru:Mo or Ru:W allowed the isolation of seven types of (benzene)ruthenium-polyoxometalate complexes: [{Ru(CH)}MoO] (), [{Ru(CH)(OH)}HMoO][MoO] (), [{Ru(CH)}HMoO] (), [{Ru(CH)}WO] (), Na[{Ru(CH)}HWO] (), [{Ru(CH)}HWO] (), and [{Ru(CH)(OH)}WO][{Ru(CH)}{Ru(CH)(OH)}HWO] ().

In this study, waste hemp fibers were transformed into cationically modified lignocellulosic adsorbent through a three-step process. First, a delignification/defibrillation pretreatment was performed, followed by quaternization of fibers using the synthesized ionic liquid chlorocholine chloride-urea (CCC-U). Pressure-assisted cross-linking of modified fibres, using a citric acid, produced new membrane (CCC-UHM).
