Turning the Surface Electronic Effect Over Core‐Shell CoS2─FexCo1‐xS2 Nanooctahedra Toward Electrochemical Water Splitting in the Alkaline Medium by Lian‐Ming Lyu, Yu‐Chung Chang, Han‐Jung Li, Pei‐En Wang, Ruei‐Hung Juang, Ming‐Yen Lu, Cheng‐Shiuan Li, Chun‐Hong Kuo

“…By various X‐ray spectroscopies as well as electron microscopy, the results showed that the shells of CoS2─FexCo1‐xS2 nanooctahedra formed the {111} surfaces of Fe0.9Co1.0S2 and Fe0.25Co0.75S2 with and without the promotion by OH− anions during the syntheses. Catalyzed by the CoS2, Fe0.25Co0.75S2, and Fe0.9Co1.0S2 {111} surfaces, the results of alkaline OER and HER indicated the Fe0.9Co1.0S2 the most superior activities by virtue of the optimized Fe─Co electronic effect. …”

Tetrazenyl-, Imido-, and Azidoaluminate Derivatives of a Sterically Demanding Bis-Silazide Ligand by Han-Ying Liu, Ryan J. Schwamm, Jakub Kenar, Mary F. Mahon, Michael S. Hill

“…Attempts to synthesise the azide [{SiN^Dipp}AlN₃] by reaction of [{SiN^Dipp}AlI] with an excess of KN₃ resulted in exclusive formation of the bis(azido)aluminate [{SiN^Dipp}Al(N₃)₂K], which crystallises as an infinite 1-dimensional polymer propagated by μ-(1,3)-N₃ bridging interactions between the potassium cations and azide anions. Although the THF-adducted azide [{SiN^Dipp}AlN₃(THF)] may be synthesised and characterised by more stringent control of the reaction stoichiometry, the synthetic viability of this route remains compromised by competitive generation of [{SiN^Dipp}Al(N₃)₂K].…”

Deciphering the role of flutamide, fluorouracil, and furomollugin based ionic liquids in potent anticancer agents: Quantum chemical, medicinal, molecular docking and MD simulation... by Danish Ali, Muhammad Arif Ali, Muhammad Sarfraz, Afifa Yousuf, Rasham Zulfiqar, Abdul Rauf, Hong-Liang Xu, Muhammad Arshad

“…In this work, we explored the electronic interionic interactions, stability, and reactivity of FDA approved drug-based cations flutamide ([FT1]+, [FT2]+), fluorouracil ([FU1]+), and furomollugin ([FM1]+, [FM2]+), paired with amino acid [NH]−, nitrate [NO3]−, and triflate [CF3]− anions, in gas and solvent phases (benzene and water). …”

Eu-Substituents-Induced Modifications in the Thermoelectric Properties of the Zintl Phase Ba_1-<i>x</i>Eu<i>_x</i>Zn₂Sb₂ System by Daewon Shim, Junsu Lee, Aziz Ahmed, Ji Hee Pi, Myung-Ho Choi, Kang Min Ok, Kyu Hyoung Lee, Tae-Soo You

“…The radius ratio criterion, based on the cationic and anionic elements (i.e., <i>r</i>₊/<i>r</i>₋), was successfully verified in the title system, as in our previous reports, where <i>r</i>₊/<i>r</i>₋ > 1 for the BaCu₂S₂-type structure. …”
