In a systematic study, six pseudopolymorphic coordination polymers containing the ditopic 1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)urea ligand (4bpu) constructed with d metal cations, possessing the formula {[M(4bpu)I]S} [(M = Zn, Cd and Hg), (S = MeOH or EtOH)], namely Zn-MeOH, Zn-EtOH, Cd-MeOH, Cd-EtOH, Hg- and Hg-EtOH were obtained. The title compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SC-XRD), elemental analysis (CHN), FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The diffraction studies show that these compounds are isostructural 1D zig-zag chain coordination polymers which is also confirmed using XPac 2.

Plant-produced sulfoquinovose (SQ, 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) is one of the most abundant sulfur-containing compounds in nature and its bacterial degradation plays an important role in the biogeochemical sulfur and carbon cycles and in all habitats where SQ is produced and degraded, particularly in gut microbiomes. Here, we report the enrichment and characterization of a strictly anaerobic SQ-degrading bacterial consortium that produces the C-sulfonate isethionate (ISE) as the major product but also the C-sulfonate 2,3-dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), with concomitant production of acetate and hydrogen (H). In the second step, the ISE was degraded completely to hydrogen sulfide (HS) when an additional electron donor (external H) was supplied to the consortium.

Superconductivity can be considered among the most exciting discoveries in material science of the 20th century. However, the hard conditions for the synthesis and the difficult characterization, make the statement of new high critical temperature ( ) complex from the experimental viewpoint and have recently led to several hot controversies in the literature. In this panorama, theory has become a trustworthy diagnosis.

Optical detection of the HSO ion in pure aqueous medium is rare, owing to the very high Gibbs free energy of hydration and ambiguity to distinguish with the isostructural HPO ion. Herein, a pair of triphenylamine-based push-pull dyes with different numbers of terminal pyridine fragments, connected via an acetylenic linker, were synthesized by Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction. These two dyes displayed highly selective (LOD = 15.

The electrocatalytic CO reduction reaction (CORR) is one of the most important electrocatalytic reactions. Starting from a well-defined *CO intermediate, the CORR can bifurcate into two pathways, either forming a hydrogenation product by *CO bond hydrogenation or leading to CO desorption by *C bond cleavage. However, it is perplexing why many dual-atom catalysts (DACs) exhibit high CO selectivity in experiments, despite previous theoretical studies arguing that the *CO bond hydrogenation is thermodynamically more favorable than the *C bond breaking.
