In contrast, analysis of 206Pb/207Pb and 208Pb/207Pb ratios suggests that Pb accumulation in the sediments originates primarily from natural sources and that the decreasing trend of Pb accumulation is most likely due to a weakening input of atmospheric mineral dust by the westerlies. These decoupling trends highlight the ongoing issue of transboundary Hg transport to the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau that are source waters for major freshwater systems in Asia and calls for regional and international collaborations on Hg emission controls in South Asia.Linear monohydroxy alcohols are strongly hydrogen-bonded liquids that are considered to be homologues of water. Here, we report ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of the liquid alcohols, methanol to pentanol, and from the combined radial-angular probability distribution of the intermolecular O···O distances and HO···O angles determine the geometrical parameters that define the hydrogen bonds in these systems. The key feature of hydrogen bonds in the liquid alcohols, irrespective of the size of the alkyl group, is the strong orientation dependence with the donor-acceptor HO···O angle being close to zero, similar to that observed in liquid water. Hydrogen bond formation is consequently considered to be the passage from a state where donor-acceptor pairs show no preferred orientation to one where they are almost linear. The potential of mean force, the reversible work associated with this process, is computed from the pair probability density distributions obtained from the simulations and that for a hypothetical state where donor-acceptor pairs are randomly oriented. We find that the magnitude of the free energy for hydrogen bond formation is maximum for ethanol and show that this arises from a larger electrostatic contribution to hydrogen bond formation in ethanol as compared to the other alcohols.Here, we report gold nanoparticle-coated starch magnetic beads (AuNP@SMBs) that were prepared by in situ synthesis of AuNPs on the surface of SMBs. Upon functionalization of the surface with a specific antibody, the immuno-AuNP@SMBs were found to be effective in separating and concentrating the target pathogenic bacteria, Escherichia coli O157H7, from an aqueous sample as well as providing a hotspot for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based detection. We employed a bifunctional linker protein, 4× gold-binding peptide-tagged Streptococcal protein G (4GS), to immobilize antibodies on AuNP@SMBs and AuNPs in an oriented form. The linker protein also served as a Raman reporter, exhibiting a strong and unique fingerprint signal during the SERS measurement. The amplitude of the SERS signal was shown to have a good correlation with the concentration of target bacteria ranging from 100 to 105 CFU/mL. The detection limit was determined to be as low as a single cell, and the background signals derived from nontarget bacteria were negligible due to the excellent specificity and colloidal stability of the immuno-AuNP@SMBs and SERS tags. The highly sensitive nature of the SERS-based detection system will provide a promising means to detect the pathogenic microorganisms in food or clinical specimen.A highly efficient benzylic hydroperoxidation has been realized through a visible-light-induced Csp3-H activation. We believe that this reaction undergoes a direct HAT mechanism catalyzed by eosin Y. This approach features the use of a metal-free catalyst (eosin Y), an energy-economical light source (blue LED), and a sustainable oxidant (molecular oxygen). Primary, secondary, and tertiary hydroperoxides as well as silyl, benzyl, and acyl peroxides were successfully prepared with good yields and excellent functional group compatibility.A new cascade approach has been developed for the one-pot four-step divergent synthesis of polysubstituted benzofurans and 2H-chromenes, featuring a novel cascade aromatic Claisen rearrangement/Meinwald rearrangement/dehydrative or oxidative cyclization. This new method was demonstrated with 39 examples tolerating different substitutions at an epoxide, allylic ether, and aromatic ring, and we showcased its utility with the first total synthesis of natural product liparacid A in seven steps.Second-generation β-lactamase inhibitors containing a diazabicyclooctane (DBO) scaffold restore the activity of β-lactams against path-ogenic bacteria, including those producing class A, C, and D enzymes that are not susceptible to first-generation inhibitors containing a β-lactam ring. Here, we report optimization of a synthetic route to access triazole-containing DBOs and biological evaluation of a series of 17 compounds for inhibition of five β-lactamases representative of enzymes found in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. A strong corre-lation (Spearman coefficient of 0.87; p = 4.7 10-21) was observed between the inhibition efficacy of purified β-lactamases and the poten-tiation of β-lactam antibacterial activity indicating that DBO functionalization did not impair penetration. In comparison to reference DBOs, avibactam and relebactam, our compounds displayed reduced efficacy due to the absence of hydrogen bonding with a conserved asparagine residue at position 132. This was partially compensated by additional interactions involving certain triazole substituents.Herein, we disclose a Ni-catalyzed formal aminocarbonylation of primary and secondary unactivated aliphatic iodides with isocyanides to afford alkyl amide, which proceeds via the selective monomigratory insertion of isocyanides with alkyl iodides, subsequent β-hydride elimination, and hydrolysis process. The reaction features wide functional group tolerance under mild conditions. Additionally, the selective, one-pot hydrolysis of reaction mixture under acid conditions allows for expedient synthesis of the corresponding alkyl carboxylic acid.Mo(VI)-containing phosphates are widely used in catalyses, ion batteries, and nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. However, few strategies can effectively guide the syntheses of the Mo(VI)-containing phosphates. this website In this paper, three new Mo(VI)-containing phosphates, Cs3Mo12PO40, LiK(MoPO6)2, and Sr(MoPO6)2, with different dimensions have been successfully synthesized by adjusting the Mo/P ratios. Interestingly, Cs3Mo12PO40 is a classic Keggin-type polyoxometalate composed of zero-dimensional (0D) [Mo12PO40]3- clusters, whereas LiK(MoPO6)2 and Sr(MoPO6)2 have three-dimensional (3D) [MoO2O4P]∞ frameworks consisting of MoO6 octahedra and PO4 tetrahedra in a 1/1 ratio. Detailed structural comparisons of Mo(VI)-containig phosphates indicate that the Mo/P ratios have a significant effect on the structural dimensions. Further, the optical properties and thermal stabilities of Cs3Mo12PO40, LiK(MoPO6)2, and Sr(MoPO6)2 are also determined.
