The Mn(VII)-H2O2 oxidation process: Abatement of electron-deficient N-containing organic compounds

Chemical oxidants applied in water treatment are electrophiles, which preferentially attack sites with higher electron density. This typically results in less efficient oxidative abatement of organic compounds with electronwithdrawing substituents. In this ...

Homogeneous catalysis with nitrous oxide

Kay Severin

Nitrous oxide (N2O; ‘laughing gas’) is a powerful oxidant, but chemical transformations are hampered by the inert character of this gas. Recent advances in using N2O as an oxidant in metal-catalyzed reactions are discussed. The focus will be on reactions t ...

Mechanistic insights on interactions of dissolved organic matter with chemical oxidants: quantification of reactive sites and identification of oxidation byproducts

Joanna Maria Houska

Chemical oxidants including ozone (O3), chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are applied for disinfection of drinking water. To cope with water scarcity and the increased risks associated with the presence of micropollutants, water treatment sy ...

Multielectron Redox Chemistry of Uranium by Accessing the plus II Oxidation State and Enabling Reduction to a U(I) Synthon

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Ivica Zivkovic, Anne-Sophie Chauvin

Thesynthesis of molecular uranium complexes in oxidation stateslower than +3 remains a challenge despite the interest for their multielectrontransfer reactivity and electronic structures. Herein, we report theone- and two-electron reduction of a U(III) com ...

Photoluminescence brightening of single-walled carbon nanotubes through conjugation with graphene quantum dots

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Niloufar Sharif, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi, Shang-Jung Wu

Spanning the tissue transparency window, the near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence (PL) of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can optically penetrate biological tissue for deep-tissue imaging and optical sensing. SWCNTs are often functionalized with s ...

Substantial contribution of iodine to Arctic ozone destruction

Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

Unlike bromine, the effect of iodine chemistry on the Arctic surface ozone budget is poorly constrained. We present ship-based measurements of halogen oxides in the high Arctic boundary layer from the sunlit period of March to October 2020 and show that io ...

Assessing Analytical Methods for the Rapid Detection of Lead Adulteration in the Global Spice Market

Meret Aeppli

Lead adulteration of spices, primarily via Pb chromate compounds, has been documented globally as a growing public health concern. Currently, Pb detection in spices relies primarily on expensive and time-consuming laboratory analyses. Advancing rapid Pb de ...

Modulation of Subcellular Redox Homeostasis with Trialkylphosphines

Jade Noémie Nam Nguyen

Redox homeostasis is essential for cell function and its disruption is associated with multiple pathologies. Redox balance is largely regulated by the relative concentrations of reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione. In eukaryotic cells, this ratio ...

Social Learning with Disparate Hypotheses

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Virginia Bordignon, Konstantinos Ntemos

In this paper we study the problem of social learning under multiple true hypotheses and self-interested agents. In this setup, each agent receives data that might be generated from a different hypothesis (or state) than the data other agents receive. In c ...

Solid-phase peptide synthesis on disulfide-linker resin followed by reductive release affords pure thiol-functionalized peptides

Christian Heinis, Peter Matei Frisius Pânzar, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Manuel Leonardo Merz, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Zsolt Bognár

Thiol groups are suitable handles for site-selectively modifying, immobilizing or cyclizing individual peptides or entire peptide libraries. A limiting step in producing the thiol-functionalized peptides is the chromatographic purification, which is partic ...
