Occupational exposure to aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) can lead elevated concentrations of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in firefighter blood sera. AFFF are also one source PFAS the general population because their environmental persistence solubility groundwater. Because documented adverse health effects PFAS, primary concern date fire services has centered on repeated use AFFF. In this work, an additional for firefighters is presented: that shed from protective...
Carbon capture, storage, and utilization (CCSU) represents an opportunity to mitigate carbon emissions that drive global anthropogenic climate change. Promising materials for CCSU through gas adsorption have been developed by leveraging the porosity, stability, tunability of extended crystalline coordination polymers called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). While development these has yielded highly effective CO2 sorbents, in-depth understanding properties MOF pores lead most efficient uptake...
The local environment of a metal active site plays an important role in affecting the catalytic activity and selectivity. In recent studies, tailoring behavior molybdenum-based via modulation first coordination sphere has led to improved thioanisole oxidation performance, but disentangling electronic effects from steric influences that arise these modifications is nontrivial, especially heterogeneous systems. To this end, tunability metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) makes them promising...
Organophosphorus chemicals, including chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and insecticides, are acutely toxic materials that warrant capture degradation. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a class of tunable, porous, crystalline capable hydrolytically cleaving, thus detoxifying, several organophosphorus nerve their simulants. One such MOF is M-MFU-4l (M = metal), bioinspired azolate framework whose metal node composed variety divalent first-row transition metals. While Cu-MFU-4l...
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are discrete anionic clusters whose rich redox properties, strong Bro̷nsted acidity, and high availability of active sites make them potent catalysts for oxidation reactions. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as tunable, porous platforms to immobilize POMs, thus increasing their solution stability catalytic activity. While POM@MOF composite materials been widely used a variety applications, little is known about the thermodynamics encapsulation process....
Portable and inexpensive analytical tools are required to monitor pharmaceutical quality in technology limited settings including low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Whole cell yeast biosensors have the potential help meet this need. However, most of readouts for require expensive equipment or reagents. To overcome challenge, we designed a biosensor that produces unique scent as readout. This inducible biosensor, "scentsor", does not user administer additional reagents reporter development...
Characterizing the surfaces of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) remains a key challenge for understanding and controlling their physical properties chemical behavior. For this reason, development new methods to study NC is great interest. In paper, we report use (Me3Si)2Fe(CO)4 Et3SiCo(CO)4 as reagents functionalizing CdSe with organometallic metal tetracarbonyl fragments. This method avoids surface reduction can achieve high carbonyl densities. Surface or oxidation, well changes...
<title>Abstract</title> Metal sulfide binary compounds, renowned for their exceptional electronic properties, are advantageous in applications such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and photocatalysis. Typically, the majority of active sites these compounds reside on surfaces edges catalyst particles, leaving bulk underutilized. This study introduces a strategy to embed metal-sulfur into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) via post-synthetic modification, exploiting MOFs’ accessible internal...
