Over the last 5-10 years, gold(III) catalysis has developed rapidly. It often shows complementary if not unique features compared to gold(I) catalysis. While recent work has enabled major synthetic progress in terms of scope and efficiency, very little is yet known about the mechanism of Au(III)-catalyzed transformations and the relevant key intermediates have rarely been authenticated.

1,2,3-Trimethylbenzene (1,2,3-TMB) is an important volatile organic compound (VOC) present in petroleum wastewater and the atmosphere. This compound can be degraded by OH radicals via abstraction, addition and substitution mechanisms. Results show that the addition mechanism is dominant and H-abstraction is subdominant, while methyl abstraction and substitution mechanisms are negligible in the gas and aqueous phases.

The structure of UiO-66(Ce) is formed by CeO defective nanoclusters connected by terephthalate ligands. The initial presence of accessible Ce sites in the as-synthesized UiO-66(Ce) has been determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR)-CO analyses. Moreover, linear scan voltammetric measurements reveal a reversible Ce/Ce interconversion within the UiO-66(Ce) material, while nanocrystalline ceria shows an irreversible voltammetric response.

Transformations of nitrogen-oxyanions (NO ) to ammonia impart pivotal roles in sustainable biogeochemical processes. While metal-mediated reductions of NO are relatively well known, this report illustrates proton-assisted transformations of NO anions in the presence of electron-rich aromatics such as 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB-H, 1 a) leading to the formation of diaryl oxoammonium salt [(TMB) N =O][NO ] (2 a) via the intermediacy of nitrosonium cation (NO ). Detailed characterizations including UV/Vis, multinuclear NMR, FT-IR, HRMS, X-ray analyses on a set of closely related metastable diaryl oxoammonium [Ar N =O] species disclose unambiguous structural and spectroscopic signatures.

Microcystin-LR (MCLR) produced during certain cyanobacteria blooms can contaminate drinking water sources and pose a threat to public health. Previous studies of MCLR degradation by free chlorine may have artifacts from using strong reducing agents to quench chlorination reactions, and they also have not explored the influence of water quality characteristics such as pH, alkalinity, temperature and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Using a novel quencher, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB), the apparent MCLR degradation rate constants were found to be higher than those obtained with thiosulfate (SO), a traditionally used strong reducing quencher.
