A superatomic molecule formed by joining two metallic clusters linked by an organometallic bridge can behave like a semiconductor and the addition of ligands can induce a significant energy level shift across an inter-cluster homojunction. This shift is induced by the N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone ligands, and the placement of the ligands strongly affects the direction of the dipole moment, including the case where the dipole moment is parallel to the cluster interface. This computational study provides an alternative strategy for constructing nanometer-scale electronic interfaces between clusters mimicking semiconductor motifs. The semiconducting features in the PAl12 clusters emerge from the grouping of the quantum states in a confined nearly free electron gas that creates a substantial energy gap. An organometallic Ge(CH3)2(CH2)2 bridge links the clusters while maintaining the cluster's electronic shell structure. The amount of level shifting between the bridged clusters can be changed by controlling the number of ligands. Attaching multiple ligands can result in a broken gap energy alignment in which the HOMO level of one cluster is aligned with the LUMO level of the other bridged cluster. Furthermore, the singly ligated bridged superatomic molecule is found to exhibit promising features to separate the electron-hole pairs for photovoltaic applications.Vitrimers, an important subset of dynamically crosslinked polymer networks, have many technological applications for their excellent properties, and the ability to be re-processed through plastic flow above the so-called vitrification temperature. We report a simple and efficient method of generating such adaptive crosslinked networks relying on transesterification for their bond exchange by utilising the 'click' chemistry of epoxy and thiols, which also has the advantage of a low glass transition temperature. We vary the chemical structure of thiol spacers to probe the effects of concentration and the local environment of ester groups on the macroscopic elastic-plastic transition. The thermal activation energy of transesterification bond exchange is determined for each chemical structure, and for a varying concentration of catalyst, establishing the conditions for the optimal, and for the suppressed bond exchange. Neratinib datasheet However, we also discover that the temperature of elastic-plastic transition is strongly affected by the stiffness (dynamic rubber modulus) of the network, with softer networks having a much lower vitrification temperature even when their bond-exchange activation energy is higher. This combination of chemical and physical control factors should help optimise the processability of vitrimer plastics.We prepare a novel COF for CO2 photoreduction with 99.9% CO selectivity in aqueous solution without a cocatalyst. DFT shows that the preferential adsorption of H+ on the COF results in increased CO2 adsorption energy providing an anchoring site of CO2, and with the cooperation of an ethylene group, CO2 reduction is triggered.Lanthanide(iii) coordination chemistry in solution is inherently complicated by the lack of directional interactions and rapid ligand exchange. The latter can be eliminated in kinetically inert complexes, but remains a challenge in complexes between lanthanide(iii) ions and smaller ligands. As multiple conformations and partial decomplexation is an issue even with multidentate ligands, it will influence the observed solution properties of complexes of smaller ligands common in the field of f-elements coordination chemistry such as acetylacetonates and dipicolinates. Here, europium(iii) complexes with one, two and three dipicolinates were investigated in a series of 13 samples, where the composition was varied from 0 to 3 equivalents of dipicolinate. While the results did show the formation of three distinct europium(iii) dipicolinate complexes confirming the literature data on the system, clear discrepancies in speciation related properties were evident when comparing the results from absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. It was concluded that the difference is due to the difference in time constant of the two experiments. Furthermore, it is shown that the information obtained from luminescence arises from a weigthed average, and with discepancies between the observed and actual concentration exceeding 25%, it is advised that the weighted averages are taken into consideration when reporting on solution properties of lanthanide(iii) complexes. From the resolved optical spectra of [Eu(H2O)9]3+, [Eu(DPA)(H2O)6]+, [Eu(DPA)2(H2O)3]-, and [Eu(DPA)3]3-, the excited energy levels and transition probabilities are determined, and it was concluded that both transition probabilities and ligand field effects on the microstates are different in all four species.In epidemiological studies, levels of PM2.5 need to be estimated over time and space. Because of logistical constraints, very few studies have been conducted to assess the variability within and across homes and the predictors of this variability. This study evaluated within- and between-home variability of indoor PM2.5 and identified predictors for PM2.5 in homes of mothers participating in the urban Mother and Child in the Environment birth cohort study in Durban, South Africa. Thirty homes were selected from 300 homes that were previously sampled for PM2.5. Two measurements of PM2.5 levels were conducted in each home within a 1 week interval in both warm and cold seasons (four samplings per home) using Airmetrics MiniVol samplers. A linear mixed-effect model was used to evaluate within- and between-home variability and to identify fixed effects (predictors) that result in reduced variability. The PM2.5 levels in the 30 homes ranged from 2 to 303 μg m-3. The within-home variability accounted for 94% of the total variability in the log-transformed PM2.5 levels for the 30 homes. The fixed effects extracted from the repeated samplings in the present study were used to improve a previously developed multivariable linear regression model for 300 homes, and thereby increased the R2 from 0.50 to 0.54. Inclusion of fixed-effects in multivariable linear regression models resulted in a reasonably robust model that can be used to predict PM2.5 levels in unmeasured homes of the cohort.
