From +I to +IV, Alkalis to Actinides: Capturing Cations across the Periodic Table with Keggin Polyoxometalate Ligands.

Coordination chemistry trends across the periodic table are often difficult to probe experimentally due to limitations in finding a versatile but consistent chelating platform that can accommodate various elements without changing its coordination mode. Herein, we present new metal/ligand systems covering a wide range of ionic radii, charges, and elements. Five different ligands derived from the Keggin structure (HBW11O398-, PW11O397-, SiW11O398-, GeW11O398-, and GaW11O399-) were successfully crystallized with six different cations (Na+, Sr2+, Ba2+, La3+, Ce4+, and Th4+) and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Twenty-five new compounds were obtained by using Cs+ as the counterion, yielding a consistent base formula of Csx[M(XW11O39)2]·nH2O. Despite having a similar first-coordination sphere geometry (i.e., 8-coordinated), the nature of the central cation was found to impact the long-range geometry of the complexes. This unique crystallographic data set shows that, despite the traditional consensus, the local geometry of the cation (i.e., metal-oxygen bond distance) is not enough to depict the full impact of the complexed metal ion. The bending and twisting of the complexes, as well as ligand-ligand distances, were all impacted by the nature of the central cation. We also observed that counterions play a critical role by stabilizing the geometry of the M(XW11)2 complex and directing complex-complex interactions in the lattice. We also define certain structural limits for this type of complex, with the large Ba2+ ion seemingly approaching those limits. This study thus lays the foundation for capturing the coordination chemistry of other rarer elements across the periodic table such as Ra2+, Ac3+, Bk4+, Cf3+, etc.

Characterization of Degradation Mechanisms of Alternative Electrolytes Solutions in Fast Charging Li-Ion Batteries

While the idea that fast charging batteries could be utilized in electric vehicles is enticing, current fast charging batteries face significant challenges that must be mitigated before this application is realized. Fast charging batteries currently suffer from capacity loss and degradation over time which not only affects battery life but poses a safety hazard. The current electrolyte, 1.2 M LiPF6 in 3:7 wt.% EC/EMC (Gen2), contains the salt LiPF6 that when exposed to moisture can form dangerous hydrofluoric acid and contains a carbonate-based solvent that when exposed to oxygen can ignite. In addition, batteries experience degradation over many cycles of fast charging which results in capacity fade and poor battery performance. However, previous studies have shown the potential for other electrolyte systems to mitigate these problems, specifically by using highly concentrated electrolytes1. These studies claim that using these electrolytes results in the formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that passivates Li ions better than the Gen2 electrolyte. The SEI is a layer that forms on the anode within the battery and serves as a protective layer that allows for Li intercalation into graphite and can therefore protect against degradation. By using different electrolytes, a different SEI is formed, and different degradation mechanisms are observed. In this way, the SEI can be tuned to improve Li passivation and ionic conductivity by changing the electrolyte’s composition and concentration2. This research focuses on such alternative electrolyte systems and aims to characterize the different degradation mechanisms corresponding to each electrolyte. Favorable performance has been observed using 1.2 M LiFSI in 3:7 wt.% EC/EMC as an electrolyte. We are studying LiFSI in acetonitrile (AN) at higher concentrations than traditional Gen2 to quantify the SEI. We expect AN to form an anion derived SEI, a composition of which results in improved passivation of Li ions1. In this study, we characterize degradation of alternative electrolyte systems through x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Through these methods we can observe and quantify both crystalline, amorphous degradation products due to loss of Li inventory and loss of active material. XPS allows quantification of compositional changes in the SEI layer at the surface of the electrode. The SEM provides qualitative information on degradation such as visualizing lithium plating and dendrite formation. We implement quantitative XRD to measure the crystalline phases of the graphite anode, showing the degree of lithium intercalation and further quantifying degradation such as Li plating. Putting the results of these three characterization techniques together in tandem with electrochemical cycling data paints a picture of the degradation that happens on the anode of a fast-charging lithium-ion battery with respect to electrolyte composition.[1] Yamada, Y., Wang, J., Ko, S., Watanabe, E., & Yamada, A.

(Invited) Electrochemistry of the 1,1,N,N-Tetramethyl[N](2,11)Teropyrenophanes

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) have been of broad interest for many decades. This is due largely to their extended π systems, which imbue them with optical and electronic properties that can be exploited in a variety of organic electronic devices. A current trend in PAH chemistry is the construction of ever-larger and more elaborate aromatic systems. A major challenge associated with this work is to maintain solubility. For innately planar PAH, the standard tactic is to append multiple solubilizing groups to the periphery of the aromatic system. The drawbacks to this are that 1) the mass of solubilizing groups can outweigh that of the PAH, 2) the presence of the solubilizing groups severely limits or rules out doing chemistry on the periphery and 3) the tactic becomes less and less effective as the size of the PAH becomes very large. An alternative and very effective way to boost solubility is to bring about nonplanarity in a PAH. This can be achieved through the presence of nonbonded interactions (as in helicenes), the presence of non-6-membered rings (as in corannulene) and by bridging the aromatic system (i.e. incorporating it into a cyclophane).Cyclophanes constitute a very large and diverse class of compounds. The simplest cyclophanes (the [n]cyclophanes) consist of just one aromatic system and one aliphatic bridge. These cyclophanes are especially interesting because the structure of the aromatic system can be changed by varying the length of the bridge. This enables the study of how the chemical and physical properties of a particular PAH are affected by incremental changes in structure without any complications arising from intramolecular π-π interactions or changes in the character or position of the substituents (the bridge). Understanding the relationships between structure and properties can underpin efforts to tailor properties of organic compounds for use as materials in devices. Very few [n]cyclophanes that have a large PAH are known, so there is plenty of room for exploration in this area.The PAH of interest in this work is teropyrene. It is a member of the ropyrene series of aromatic compounds, which evolve into armchair-edged graphene nanoribbons (GNR) as they propagate. Teropyrene has 10 6-membered rings, 36 carbon atoms and vanishingly low solubility. Only a handful of teropyrene derivatives are known. We have developed a synthetic route to a series of 1,1,n,n-tetramethyl[n](2,11)teropyrenophanes (n = 7-10), which feature a teropyrene system with an end-to-end bend ranging from 145° (n = 10) to 178° (n = 7) and have very good solubility in a variety of organic solvents. Details of the redox behaviour of these teropyrenophanes will be presented. Figure 1

Trends of water composition and discharge in the Ramganga River, Ganga Basin over the last 40 years signal enhanced nitrate flux

Studying long-term trends in river water chemistry is critical to assessing the impacts of human activities and climate change on water resources. This is of particular importance in the Indian subcontinent such as the Ganga River Basin – home to nearly 500 million people. As previous studies are mostly focused on seasonal to annual scale variabilities, the long-term riverine changes in the hydrochemistry of the rivers draining the Ganga Basin remain poorly constrained. Here we present the river chemistry and discharge data of Ramganga Basin, a major sub-catchment of Ganga River, for three hydrological stations between 1981 and 2020. Our results indicate that the total concentration of dissolved solids (TDS) within the Ramganga basin varies from 123 to 1170 mg/L and does not show a systematic spatiotemporal trend. However, we found that the fluxes of certain dissolved inorganic constituents from Ramganga Basin have significantly increased in the last 40 years with NO3– having the highest trend followed by Ca2+, Cl−, K+, SiO2, F−, and PO43−. The concentration-discharge (C–Q) analysis suggests a dominant dilution behaviour for most of the major solutes in the basin at longer timescales. We find that the cations and anions riverine loads are primarily dominated by Ca2+ and HCO3– ions, respectively, controlled by rock weathering processes, whereas the fluxes of NO3–, PO43−, and SO42− are controlled by anthropogenic processes. In summary, the long-term dataset for the Ramganga River revealed significant variability in river water chemistry, solute fluxes, and C–Q relationships over the last 40 years controlled by natural and anthropogenic processes.

Tetrazine-based dynamic covalent polymers as degradable extraction materials in sample preparation

BackgroundCurrent trends in Analytical Chemistry are highly focused on the introduction of new extraction materials with a high selectivity towards the target analytes, high extraction capacity as well as sustainable characteristics. In this context, the introduction of smart materials able to respond to an external stimulus constitutes a promising approach in the field. However, investigations regarding the development of such stimuli-responsive polymers have been basically centered on their synthesis and the control of their properties, and hardly on exploiting such properties to generate polymers that, once their extraction function is fulfilled, they can be degraded into fragments with little or negligible toxicity, or even into their constituent monomers for an efficient recycling. ResultsThe applicability of a degradable and recyclable dynamic covalent polymer based on the use of tetrazine as a linker was assessed as sorbent for the extraction of a group of 37 persistent organic pollutants, including 10 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 11 organochlorine pesticides, 14 polychlorinated biphenyls, and 2 antibacterial agents, from water samples. A microdispersive solid-phase extraction procedure was developed for the selective extraction of the target analytes, while their separation, determination, and quantification were achieved by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The optimized procedure was validated for seawater and wastewater obtaining mean relative recovery values between 72 and 112 % for almost all the analytes, with satisfactory relative standard deviation values (<18 %). After extraction, the polymer could be degraded by adding the amino acid L-tyrosine, being possible a quantitative recovery of the initial functional monomer. SignificanceA responsive polymer based on the chemical versatility of the tetrazine ring was used as sorbent in sample preparation providing excellent results, showing good physicochemical properties and the ability to be degraded after use. This polymer constitutes an interesting alternative to reduce chemical waste through the recycling of monomers, contributing to the development of more sustainable analytical methodologies.

Evaluating trends in groundwater quality of coastal alluvial aquifers of Eastern India for sustainable groundwater management.

Groundwater is a precious natural element which ensures global water, food, and environmental security in the twenty-first century. Systematic monitoring, sustainable utilization, preservation and remediation are critical aspects of efficient groundwater resource management. This study deals with the analysis of spatial variability and trend in groundwater chemistry as well as identification of possible contamination sources in a coastal alluvial basin of eastern India. Pre-monsoon season data of 14 groundwater-quality variables measured in 'leaky confined' and 'confined' aquifers were analyzed for ten years (2012-2021). Mann-Kendall (M-K) test with the Sen's Slope Estimator, Spearman Rank Order Correlation (SROC) and Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) tests were employed to assess decadal (2012-2021) trends. The analysis of the results indicated that the 'critical' water-quality parameters exceeding the acceptable limits for drinking are TDS, EC, TH, pH, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Fe2+, HCO3-, Cl- and NO3-. Weak negative correlations between rainfall and groundwater elevation for both the aquifers reveal poor rainfall recharge into the aquifers. Therefore, a reduction in groundwater abstraction and augmentation of groundwater recharge is recommended. Trend analysis results indicated that the concentrations of TH, Mg2+ and Fe2+ exhibit significant increasing trends in the 'leaky confined aquifer'. In contrast, significant rising trends in TH, Mg2+, Na+, Fe2+, HCO3- and NO3- concentrations are identified in the 'confined aquifer'. Further, the SROC test could not detect the trends in groundwater quality in most blocks and for many parameters. On the other hand, the ITA test revealed significant trends in most of the parameters of the two aquifers in almost all the blocks. Trend magnitudes of the groundwater-quality parameters based on the Sen's Slope Estimator and the ITA test vary from -63.7 to 58.65mg/L/year for TDS, -14 to 39.07mg/L/year for TH, -1.49 to 4.83mg/L/year for Mg2+, -7.14 to 22.96mg/L/year for Na+, -0.32 to 0.44mg/L/year for Fe2+, -8.33 to 20.75mg/L/year for HCO3-, -26.52 to 31.01mg/L/year for Cl- and 1.29 to 3.76mg/L/year for NO3- over the study area. The results of M-K and ITA tests were found in agreement in all the blocks for both the aquifers. Groundwater contamination in both the aquifers can be attributed to weathering, geogenic processes, mineral dissolution, seawater intrusion, poor recharge pattern and injudicious anthropogenic activities. It is strongly recommended that concerned authorities urgently formulate efficient strategies for managing groundwater quality in the 'leaky confined' and 'confined' aquifers which serve as vital sources of drinking and irrigationwater suppliesin the study area.

Efficient simulation of potential energy operators on quantum hardware: a study on sodium iodide (NaI)

This study introduces a conceptually novel polynomial encoding algorithm for simulating potential energy operators encoded in diagonal unitary forms in a quantum computing machine. The current trend in quantum computational chemistry is effective experimentation to achieve high-precision quantum computational advantage. However, high computational gate complexity and fidelity loss are some of the impediments to the realization of this advantage in a real quantum hardware. In this study, we address the challenges of building a diagonal Hamiltonian operator having exponential functional form, and its implementation in the context of the time evolution problem (Hamiltonian simulation and encoding). Potential energy operators when represented in the first quantization form is an example of such types of operators. Through systematic decomposition and construction, we demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed polynomial encoding method in reducing gate complexity from O(2n)\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathcal {O}(2^n)$$\\end{document} to O∑i=1rnCr\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$\\mathcal {O}\\left( \\sum _{i=1}^{r} {} ^nC_r \\right)$$\\end{document} (for some r≪n\\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \\usepackage{amsmath} \\usepackage{wasysym} \\usepackage{amsfonts} \\usepackage{amssymb} \\usepackage{amsbsy} \\usepackage{mathrsfs} \\usepackage{upgreek} \\setlength{\\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \\begin{document}$$r\\ll n$$\\end{document}). This offers a solution with lower complexity in comparison to the conventional Hadamard basis encoding approach. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was validated with its implementation in the IBM quantum simulator and IBM quantum hardware. This study demonstrates the proposed approach by taking the example of the potential energy operator of the sodium iodide molecule (NaI) in the first quantization form. The numerical results demonstrate the potential applicability of the proposed method in quantum chemistry problems, while the analytical bound for error analysis and computational gate complexity discussed, throw light on issues regarding its implementation.

Spatial and temporal analysis of physical and chemical properties of Short Creek

Freshwater systems are vitally important. Ecologically, rivers and streams are responsible for immense biodiversity, providing habitat for terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Freshwater systems benefit humans in innumerable ways, providing drinking water to millions of people, means of transportation, food sources, and recreation areas. Nevertheless, the degradation of freshwater ecosystems continues to worsen at alarming rates. Long-term water quality monitoring can help determine the best management practices to improve and restore waterways. This study assessed changes in water chemistry in the Short Creek tributary located in Wheeling, WV, comparing historical data to current, focusing on physical and chemical water quality parameters data recorded from single monthly points obtained from historical data and averaged monthly points from current data. Short Creek represents 4 of 11 sites where data is collected weekly year-round. This data collection has been ongoing since 2018 and is part of a more extensive compilation hosted by Three Rivers Quest and the WVU Water Resource Research Institute. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, chloride, specific conductivity, pH, and turbidity were recorded and analyzed utilizing Excel and RStudio. The increased frequency of monitoring provides a more accurate representation of Short Creek's overall condition. Both historical and current datasets were incomplete but generally did not show declines. A concerted effort in long-term water quality monitoring is necessary for understanding stream health. Current and historical data combined give us more resolution to estimate trends in water chemistry, better determine stream health progress, and assist in implementing best management practices.

The APO-K2 Catalog. II. Accurate Stellar Ages for Red Giant Branch Stars across the Milky Way

We present stellar age determinations for 4661 red giant branch stars in the APO-K2 catalog, derived using mass estimates from K2 asteroseismology from the K2 Galactic Archaeology Program and elemental abundances from the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. Our sample includes 17 of the 19 fields observed by K2, making it one of the most comprehensive catalogs of accurate stellar ages across the Galaxy in terms of the wide range of populations spanned by its stars, enabling rigorous tests of Galactic chemical evolution models. Taking into account the selection functions of the K2 sample, the data appear to support the age−chemistry morphology of stellar populations predicted by both inside-out and late-burst scenarios. We also investigate trends in age versus stellar chemistry and Galactic position, which are consistent with previous findings. Comparisons against APOKASC-3 asteroseismic ages show agreement to within ∼3%. We also discuss offsets between our ages and spectroscopic ages. Finally, we note that ignoring the effects of α-enhancement on stellar opacity (either directly or with the Salaris metallicity correction) results in an ∼10% offset in age estimates for the most α-enhanced stars, which is an important consideration for continued tests of Galactic models with this and other asteroseismic age samples.

Plants, Microorganisms and Their Metabolites in Supporting Asbestos Detoxification-A Biological Perspective in Asbestos Treatment.

Many countries banned asbestos due to its toxicity, but considering its colossal use, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, disposing of waste containing asbestos is the current problem. Today, many asbestos disposal technologies are known, but they usually involve colossal investment and operating expenses, and the end- and by-products of these methods negatively impact the environment. This paper identifies a unique modern direction in detoxifying asbestos minerals, which involves using microorganisms and plants and their metabolites. The work comprehensively focuses on the interactions between asbestos and plants, bacteria and fungi, including lichens and, for the first time, yeast. Biological treatment is a prospect for in situ land reclamation and under industrial conditions, which can be a viable alternative to landfilling and an environmentally friendly substitute or supplement to thermal, mechanical, and chemical methods, often characterized by high cost intensity. Plant and microbial metabolism products are part of the green chemistry trend, a central strategic pillar of global industrial and environmental development.

Synergistic Self-Healing Enhancement in Multifunctional Silicone Elastomers and Their Application in Smart Materials.

Organosilicon polymers (silicones) are of enduring interest both as an established branch of polymer chemistry and as a segment of commercial products. Their unique properties were exploited in a wide range of everyday applications. However, current silicone trends in chemistry and materials engineering are focused on new smart applications, including stretchable electronics, wearable stress sensors, protective coatings, and soft robotics. Such applications require a fresh approach to methods for increasing the durability and mechanical strength of polysiloxanes, including crosslinked systems. The introduction of self-healing options to silicones has been recognized as a promising alternative in this field, but only carefully designed multifunctional systems operating with several different self-healing mechanisms can truly address the demands placed on such valuable materials. In this review, we summarized the progress of research efforts dedicated to the synthesis and applications of self-healing hybrid materials through multi-component systems that enable the design of functional silicon-based polymers for smart applications.

Recent Advances in Chiral Electrodes for Asymmetric Electrosynthesis

AbstractAsymmetric electrosynthesis provides an efficient and controllable route for chiral synthesis. In comparison to traditional symmetric synthesis methods, asymmetric electrosynthesis typically operates under milder conditions, reducing waste generation and energy consumption. This aligns with the current trend in green chemistry, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly synthetic pathways. Apart from reactions initiated with chiral substrates, introducing appropriate chiral factors during the electrochemical process is crucial. In this context, chiral electrodes have garnered significant attention due to their advantages such as high catalytic activity, enantioselectivity, and reusability. This concept aims to introduce the preparation of three main types of chiral electrodes over the past decade, including chiral modified electrodes, chiral immobilized electrodes and chiral imprinted electrodes, and their applications in asymmetric electrosynthesis. The article provides insights into the current state of the field and outlines prospects for future research.
