Halogenated aromatic disinfection by-products (DBPs) are a new type of DBPs that have been detected in various water bodies. Previous studies have shown that most of them can induce in vivo toxicity in aquatic organisms. In this study, in order to further investigate the toxic effects and mechanisms of aromatic DBPs, the toxicity and ecological risks of 10 halogenated aromatic DBPs were assessed using the model organism zebrafish. It was found that the toxicity of DBPs was related to the number, type, and position of halogen and the type of substituent, and the 24 h-toxicity value of DBPs in this experiment could replace their 96 h-toxicity value to reduce the test time and save the test cost. Halogenated phenol and halogenated nitrophenol were more toxic, but the current ecological risks of DBPs were relatively low. In addition, the toxicity mechanism of DBPs was analyzed based on molecular docking and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models. The molecular docking results showed that all 10 DBPs could bind to zebrafish's catalase (CAT), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), p53, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), thereby affecting their normal life activities. QSAR models indicated that the toxicity of halogenated aromatic DBPs to zebrafish mainly depended on their hydrophobicity (log D), the interaction with CAT (E), and hydrogen bonding acidity (A).

The development of straightforward synthetic methods for photoactive polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that avoid Pd-catalyzed or radical-based processes remains a challenge. Such methods are essential to reducing the cost and environmental impact of organic photodevices. In this work, we present a one-pot synthetic approach for creating novel bipolar PAHs with extended π-conjugation, which are not accessible via conventional Pd-catalyzed routes.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the less understood process of natural organohalogen formation in dark conditions (aphotic) compared to more well-known light-driven (photochemical) processes, particularly focusing on two types of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from wetland plants.
- It finds that the invasive plant Spartina alterniflora (SA-DOM) is more prone to photochemical halogenation due to its higher aromatic content, while Phragmites australis (PA-DOM) produces more natural organohalogens (NOHs) during dark reactions.
- The research highlights the importance of dissolved oxygen levels and suggests that both photochemical and aphotic pathways contribute significantly to NOH formation, making them relevant under varying environmental conditions.

ConspectusLight-driven polymerizations and their application in 3D printing have revolutionized manufacturing across diverse sectors, from healthcare to fine arts. Despite the popularized notion that with 3D printing "imagination is the only limit", we and others in the scientific community have identified fundamental hurdles that restrict our capabilities in this space. Herein, we describe the group's efforts in developing photochemical systems that respond to nontraditional colors of light to elicit the rapid, spatiotemporally controlled formation of plastics.

In this work, several imidazo[1,2-]pyridines were synthesized through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three-component reaction (GBB-3CR), and their phytotoxicity was evaluated by the influence on the growth of wheat coleoptiles and three important agricultural seeds (, , and ) at test concentrations of 1000, 300, 100, 30, and 10 μM. A structure-activity relationship was established, showing the importance of halogen groups at the position of the attached aromatic ring and the presence of a cyclohexylamine group for greater activity. Post-modification of some GBB-3CR adducts was carried out, leading to imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-tetrazole hybrids, which were also evaluated in these bioassays.

The multifunctional catalytic hemoglobin from the terebellid polychaete , also named dehaloperoxidase (DHP), utilizes the typical oxygen transport function in addition to four observed activities involved in substrate oxidation. The multifunctional ability of DHP is presently a rare observation, and there exists a limitation for how novel dehaloperoxidases can be identified from macrobenthic infauna. In order to discover more infaunal DHP-bearing candidates, we have devised a facilitated method for an accurate taxonomic identification that places visual and molecular taxonomic approaches in parallel.
