The photooxidative stability of a series of doubly bridged anthracenes was evaluated after their preparation via twofold macrocyclization of a bis(resorcinyl)anthracene. Lightfastness correlates with the energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), resulting in superior stability of the tetraesters compared to the tetraethers. The lengths and steric demand of the linker only plays a minor role for the ester-based compounds, which can be prepared in reasonable yields and thus tested in proof-of-concept organic light-emitting diodes. Double ester-bridging allows deep blue electro-luminescence, highlighting the importance of the choice of the functional groups used for macrocyclization.

A bis(triarylamine) (BTA) radical cation, bridged by two o-terphenylene moieties, was prepared and characterized to explore the impact of the double-π-bridge on the intramolecular charge/spin transfer process in the 2-site organic mixed-valence (MV) compound. Spectroscopic analyses on optically and thermally assisted intervalence charge-transfer (IVCT) processes revealed that the doubly π-bridging enhanced the charge delocalization between two nitrogen redox-active centers, whereas the electronic coupling was not so strengthened, in comparison with the singly π-bridging reference compound.

A novel catalyst was fabricated using a two-step nonthermal plasma method by regulating surface hydroxyl groups on Na/activated carbon (AC) with 0.1 wt% Pt loading (Pt/Na/AC (P&P)) and achieved high formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation performance at ambient temperature. Based on characterization results, we found that in the first step of nonthermal plasma treatment under argon-water, the proportion of terminal OH groups (ter-OH groups) evidently increased.

Masked Divalent Reactivity of Heterobimetallic Lanthanide Isocarbonyl Complexes.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel rare-earth reduction system allows trivalent yttrium and dysprosium to behave as if they were in a divalent state, utilizing specific bridged dimers for reactions.
  • The system effectively reduces various N-heterocycles, producing different rare-earth complexes with the ligands in varying reduced states.
  • The dynamic magnetic properties revealed that while one dysprosium compound acts as a single-molecule magnet (SMM) with a notable energy barrier, others do not exhibit SMM characteristics due to factors like crystal field competition and ligand interactions.

Energy governs species' life histories and pace of living, requiring individuals to make trade-offs. However, measuring energetic parameters in the wild is challenging, often resulting in data collected from heterogeneous sources. This complicates comprehensive analysis and hampers transferability within and across case studies.

Background: Although water is essential for maintaining health and life, the association between water turnover as an indicator of daily water requirement and water deficit and mortality is unclear.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate this association in Japanese adults.

Methods: A total of 63,488 (36,739 females and 26,749 males) Japanese aged 40-79 y in the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study in 1988-1990 were followed up their mortality through 2009.
