Iron (Fe) isotope is a potential tool for tracking redox process and geochemical cycling in terrestrial environment. In this study, Fe concentration and its isotopic composition (δFe) in two typical Gleysol profiles (M1 and M2) were investigated to distinguish the processes which influence the variation of Fe isotopic composition during redox regimes in the Mun River Basin (MRB). Under oxidizing condition, Fe(II) was oxidized and re-precipitated to form Fe(III) (hydr)oxides zone (Fe nodule-containing zone) in two Gleysol profiles, leading to extremely light Fe isotopes in these zones. The results revealed that the lowest δFe value in Fe(III) (hydr)oxides zone was derived from the migration of light Fe isotopes in upper zone, and Fe(II) was retained and oxidized to Fe(III) (hydr)oxides. Proton-promoted dissolution and leaching were two critical factors leading to a decrease in Fe concentration, which were accompanied by the accumulation of heavy Fe isotopes in the upper zone of M1 profile. In M2 profile, light Fe induced by soil organic matter was accumulated in the topsoil with abundant organic matter. These findings provide comprehensive information of Fe isotopic fractionation and Fe cycling in soil profiles, which would contribute to the understanding of biogeochemical elemental cycling in terrestrial ecosystems.

The biotin-conjugated Fe(III) catecholate complex [Fe(BioL)], Fe(BioL) (BioLH=N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)-5-((3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl)pentanamide) is reported as targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) to increase the payload for early-stage imaging of tumours. The high spin state and octahedral coordination of the Fe(III) complex are confirmed by EPR spectra and DFT optimized structure, respectively. The overall formation constant (log K) of Fe(BioL) is determined as 45, which is higher than the known, more stable complex [Fe(EDTA)].

Article Synopsis
- Fe(III) complexes with carboxylic acids are crucial for environmental photochemistry and could be effective in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).
- The study presents two methods to accurately determine quantum yields for photolysis and hydroxyl (OH) radical generation from these complexes when exposed to UV light.
- New findings establish a correlation between the quantum yields of OH generation for various Fe complexes and resolve discrepancies in previous literature, enhancing the understanding of their efficiency in environmental applications.

Monolignols, p-coumaryl alcohol (CouA), coniferyl alcohol (ConiA), and sinapyl alcohol (SinA), are the fundamental materials for lignin biosynthesis, a major component of lignocellulosic biomass. In the present study, we report a comprehensive analysis of the antioxidant properties of monolignols, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Under model physiological conditions, monolignols demonstrated a high hydroperoxyl radical scavenging capacity in polar media, with overall rate constants (k) ranging from 5.

Among the reported spinel ferrites, the p-block metal containing SnFeO is scarcely explored, but it is a promising water-splitting electrocatalyst. This study focuses on the reaction kinetics and atomic scale insight of the reaction mechanism of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyzed by SnFeO and analogous FeO. The replacement of FeIIOh sites with SnIIOh in SnFeO improves the catalytic efficiency and various intrinsic parameters affecting the reaction kinetics.
