The catalytic transformation of CO into valuable products has garnered wide interest owing to both economic and environmental benefits, in which the chemical fixation of CO into carbonate structures represents a crucial step that occurs on the adsorbed catalyst surfaces. Transition metal oxides with acidic and basic active sites have exhibited potential in promoting the carbonation of weakly bound CO molecules. Here, the interactions between CO molecules and the ScO cation in the gas phase are investigated by using infrared photodissociation spectroscopy in conjunction with quantum chemical calculations. Both end-on and various carbonate-containing configurations, including center and bridge carbonate structures, have been theoretically identified for the CO-coordinated ion-molecule complexes. Based on the comparison between the experimental spectra and simulated spectra of low-lying isomers in the CO antisymmetric stretching vibrational frequency region, isomers characterized by a bridge carbonate core structure are demonstrated to be the major contributors to the observed spectra. Examination of potential energy surfaces reveals lower energy barriers and simpler reaction routes for the conversion of molecularly bound CO into a bridge carbonate moiety, providing reasonable explanations for their prevalence in the experiments.

Innovative double-emission carbon dots (DE-CDs) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method using fennel and m-phenylenediamine (m-PD) as precursors. These DE-CDs exhibited dual emission wavelengths at 432 and 515 nm under different excitations, making them highly versatile for fluorescence-based applications. The fluorescence of the DE-CDs was efficiently quenched by tetracycline (TC) through the inner filter effect (IFE), allowing for the construction of a sensitive dual-response fluorescent sensor.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the mixing efficacy and cost-effectiveness of new T-mixer tips against the standard double helical tips for a light-body elastomeric impression and a temporary/interim restorative material using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.
Methodology: Automixed samples ( = 16) were divided into four groups of four samples each: Samples that were mixed with Helical tip for elastomer, T-mixer tip for elastomer, Helical tip for interim restorative material, and T-mixer tip for interim restorative material. These samples were then evaluated for SEM analysis.

Alstoschoquinolines A-D (-) representing three unprecedented scaffolds were isolated from the leaves of through direct separation by LC/MS detection. and consisted of a 5/6/5-coupled quinoline architecture containing six consecutive chiral carbons, while and possessed a bridged ring featuring 6/6/6/6 and 6/6/8/6 skeletons, respectively. They might be derived from the corynantheine-type indole alkaloid via sequential oxidation and rearrangement.

High-performance bulk graphite (HPBG) that simultaneously integrates superior electrical conductivity and excellent strength is in high demand, yet it remains critical and challenging. Herein a novel approach is introduced utilizing MOF-derived nanoporous metal/carbon composites as precursors to circumvent this traditional trade-off. The resulting bulk graphite, composed of densely packed multilayered graphene sheets functionalized with diverse cobalt forms (nanoparticles, single atoms, and clusters), exhibits unprecedented electrical conductivity in all directions (in-plane: 7311 S cm⁻¹, out-of-plane: 5541 S cm⁻¹) and excellent mechanical strength (flexural: 101.

Carbon dots (CDs) mediated g-CN (CN) is a promising visible-light-driven semiconductor in catalyzing peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for aqueous contaminants remediation. However, the poor dispersibility of powered catalyst and its challenging recyclability impede their broader application. Herein, we embedded FeN bridge within the g-CN framework and immobilized g-CN gel beads (CA/FNCCN) through a 3D cross-linking process with sodium alginate.
