Title: Utilizing Fluorescent Dyes to Manipulate Reactivity in Molecular Complexes
Abstract: Main group Lewis acids can promote some of the same chemical transformations that can be promoted with metal complexes, but their inability to undergo redox chemistry limits their applicability as an alternative to metal-containing complexes in chemical and catalytic transformations.

Title: Spectroscopic Signatures of UCl3 in LiCl/KCl eutectic via AIMD simulations
Abstract: Characterization of chloride molten salts with high f-element loading remains limited in literature despite relevance to nonproliferation and online monitoring of molten salt reactors and pyroprocessing separation schemes. Coupled spectroscopic and computational investigations provide certain benefits, as experimental information can validate simulation, while simulations can provide atomistic resolution.

Materials with tunable properties are needed to address issues, such as the capture of greenhouse gases, the detection of hazardous chemicals, and the storage of energy. Coordination polymers are a type of hybrid polymeric crystalline material formed from the connection of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters through coordination bonds. The wide array of building blocks that can be used enables coordination polymers to be rationally designed and tuned to possess specific properties.

This work presents a detailed investigation of the influence of solid supports on the axial ligand binding properties of cobalt porphyrins. Metal porphyrins and other tetrapyrrole molecules form well-ordered, self-assembled monolayers on solid supports and because of unsaturated character of the metal atom within the macrocycle may form five and six coordinate complexes with axial ligands. Porphyrin chemistry is well understood in the solution environment; however, this knowledge does not always translate to accurate predictions of the behavior of porphyrins confined to a surface.

Mercaptoethane sulfonate or coenzyme M (CoM) is the smallest known organic cofactor, and is most commonly associated with the methane forming step in all methanogenic archaea. It has also been found in a small number of bacteria capable of the metabolism of small organics. Although many of the steps for CoM biosynthesis in methanogenic archaea have been elucidated, a complete pathway for the biosynthesis of CoM in archaea or bacteria has not been reported. Here we present the complete CoM biosynthesis pathway in bacteria, revealing distinct chemical steps relative to CoM biosynthesis in methanogenic archaea.

Although there are significant outstanding issues, our understanding of the formation of the Sun’s planetary system is well developed. In particular, the “planetesimal accretion model”, where most of the solids in the protoplanetary disk were in solid bodies of roughly 1 km or larger, offers a foundation for understanding the formation of the terrestrial planets, the outer planets, and the populations of small bodies seen in the present day Solar System.

Mass spectrometers have historically been revered for their accuracy and precision. Further techniques, such as MS/MS where mass analysis is performed more than once on an analyte, have been able to add an additional level of specificity to identification of a wide variety of analytes. However, the large size and high cost of mass spectrometers creates obstacles for accessibility and widespread application of these instruments.
