We present two novel antimony(III)-based tellurite sulfate crystals, Sb(TeO)(SO)-1̅ (I) and Sb(TeO)(SO)-2/ (II), synthesized using a dual lone pair strategy that incorporates Sb and Te ions into a sulfate framework. This approach significantly enhances the birefringence of these compounds, with values of 0.11 and 0.10 at 546 nm, respectively, surpassing those of many previously reported mixed alkali metal/alkaline earth metal sulfates and tellurites. Both compounds also exhibit excellent UV transparency with cutoff edges at 292 and 294 nm, making them promising candidates for short-wave UV optical applications. Structural and theoretical analyses reveal that the enhanced birefringence arises from the synergistic effects of the stereochemically active lone pairs of Sb and Te, which contribute to the optical anisotropy. This work highlights the potential of dual SCALP elements in improving the optical properties of sulfate-based crystals and provides new insights into designing high-performance optical materials with tailored properties for advanced UV technologies.

Metal halide luminescent materials, particularly those doped with ns ions, exhibit exceptional optical properties. However, the luminescent mechanisms associated with the stereochemical activity of lone-pair electrons remain insufficiently explored. In this study, zero-dimensional (0D) tin-based halide (CHN)SnCl is utilized as a model system to investigate the effects of lattice distortion and lone-pair electron expression on fluorescence emission characteristics by doping with 6s and 5s ions.

Aims: To investigate CT-derived extracellular volume fraction (CT-ECV) in patients with lone aortic stenosis (AS), dual pathology of AS and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (AS-ATTR), and lone ATTR, and to examine the diagnostic performance and optimal cutoff values of CT-ECV for differentiating between patients with lone AS and AS-ATTR, and between patients with lone AS and lone ATTR.
Methods And Results: This retrospective study included consecutive patients with severe AS (including lone AS and AS-ATTR) and lone ATTR who underwent CT-ECV analysis and technetium 99m pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) scintigraphy. The diagnostic performance of CT-ECV for detecting cardiac amyloidosis was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Dual-atom catalysts (DACs) have garnered significant interest due to their high atom utilization and synergistic catalysis. However, developing a precise synthetic method for DACs and comprehending the underlying catalytic mechanisms remain challenging. In this study, we employ a photoinduced anchoring strategy to precisely synthesize PtCo DAC on graphitic carbon nitride (CN).

The regulation of interfaces remains a critical and challenging aspect in the pursuit of highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, 2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid (HBPDC) is incorporated as an interfacial layer between SnO and perovskite layers in PSCs. The two carboxylic acid moieties on HBPDC bind to SnO through esterification, while its nitrogen atoms, possessing lone electron pairs, interact with uncoordinated lead (Pb) atoms through Lewis acid-base interactions.
