Bi-heterometallic artificial phosphodiesterases with unexpectedly high catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of phosphodiesters were achieved through Zn2+/Ag+ coordination-induced aggregation.
The formation of neutral and ionic thiosemicarbazone-based titanium complexes is reported.
Various sustainable fluorogenic anion sensors based on organochalcogens (–SPh, –SePh) substituted imidazole borane scaffolds, which particularly detect F− and CN− over other biologically relevant ions in competitive aqueous media are reported.
New phenothiazine-dioxide linkers were used in Zn- and Cu-MOFs, revealing Cu-MOFs’ superior porosity, stability, and gas-adsorption.
Redox-electrodes are designed to selectively bind platinum group metals by auto-oxidation, and release them electrochemically. The platform can efficiently recover PGMs from catalytic converter leachates, and contribute to energy-efficient technologies for materials recycling.
