Understanding Dioxygen Activation in the Fe(III)-Promoted Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Amines: A Computational Study by Ricardo D. Páez-López, Miguel Á. Gómez-Soto, Héctor F. Cortés-Hernández, Alejandro Solano-Peralta, Miguel Castro, Peter M. H. Kroneck, Martha E. Sosa-Torres

“…The DFT calculations show that (i) ³O₂ abstracts a hydrogen atom from the α-pyridine aliphatic C-H moiety, introducing a double bond regio-selectively at the C₇N₈ position, via the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism, (ii) O₂ does not coordinate to the iron center to generate a high-valent Fe oxo species observed in enzymes and biomimetic complexes, and (iii) the experimental activation parameters (ΔH^≠ = 20.38 kcal mol⁻¹, ΔS^≠ = −0.018 kcal mol⁻¹ K⁻¹) fall within in the range of values reported for HAT reactions and align well with the computational results for the activated complex [Fe^IIL³_N8•]²⁺···³O₂.…”

Combined Effects of Humic Acid-Modified Magnetic Biochar and AMF on the Properties of Saline-Alkali Soil and Photosynthetic Parameters of Muskmelon by ZHANG Yating, LOU Xueyi, WU Jiarui, LIU Hongyuan, YE Binyu, XIAO Jiamin, LI Jiameng, MIAO Yining, CHEN Xinyan, LIU Yilin, TAN Yuyu, WANG Zhichao, LIU Peng

“…[Results] Under 15 and 75 mmol/L saline-alkali stress, combined application of 20 g/kg AMF with 20% HA-MBC showed the best mitigation effects, with a “synergistic enhancement” observed. On one hand, the iron oxides and humic acids loaded on HA-MBC improved the physical and chemical properties of soil by increasing the quantity of surface functional groups and porosity, while AMF formed symbiotic roots to further enrich organic matter and nutrients, and increase soil enzyme activities, thus increasing the height and root length of muskmelon and promoting the recovery of Fv/Fm and the reduction of F0 and qN. …”
