Mesoporous zinc germanium oxynitride was synthesized by a template-free method at high temperature. Through optimizing redox potentials as well as improving crystallinity, this material showed enhanced activity in CO(2) photoreduction.

The Pt(ii) dithiolene complex of a tetrathiafulvalene diphosphine ligand exhibits two reversible redox systems at close potentials, localized on the weakly interacting TTF (tetrathiafulvalene) and Pt(dmit) moieties.

Ferrocene-containing amidopyridine receptors bind carboxylic acids and the amino acid phenylalanine in acetonitrile via a novel proton transfer process that enables guests to be electrochemically sensed by positive shifts in the ferrocene-centred redox potentials.

The oxidation potentials for N-methyl substituted nucleic acid bases guanine, adenine, cytosine, thymine, uracil, xanthine, and 8-oxoguanine were computed using B3LYP and CBS-QB3 with the SMD solvation model. Acid-base and tautomeric equilibria present in aqueous solution were accounted for by combining standard redox potentials with calculated pKa and tautomerization energies to produce an ens...

Catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added chemicals and fuels can not only mitigate global warming but also alleviate the energy crisis caused by fossil fuel depletion. Redox potential is a key thermodynamic quantity CO2 reduction reactions, while currently, standard (25°C, 1 atm, M) available for application. Herein, it first time to report influence temperature (0–1000°C),...

T unique properties of GFP exploited in novel bioimaging techniques have revolutionized many areas in the life sciences and have motivated numerous experimental and theoretical studies. 7 To better understand the rich and complex photophysics of GFP, one can analyze its properties from bottom up, that is, from understanding the intrinsic properties of isolated FP chromophores to their behavior ...

Context & Scale This review aims to bridge the fields of inorganic molecular chemistry, electrocatalysis, lithium-ion batteries, and chemical physics of oxides by introducing a unifying concept linking the electronic structures and electrochemical properties of transition metal oxides and complexes. In this work, by reviewing broad literature on the redox behavior of a number of Ni, Co, Fe, and...

The availability of oxygen (O(2)) in aerated (i.e., water-unsaturated) soils affects the metabolic activities of aerobic and anaerobic soil prokaryotes that degrade plant-derived saccharides. Fluctuating availabilities of O(2) were imposed on agricultural soil slurries supplemented with cellobiose. Slurries were subjected to oxic conditions (48 h), followed by an anoxic period (120 h) and a fin...
