Three‐dimensional Octameric Assembly of Icosahedral M13 Units in [Au8Ag57(Dppp)4(C6H11S)32Cl2]Cl and its [Au8Ag55(Dppp)4(C6H11S)34][BPh4]2 Derivative

The high‐dimensional (that is, three‐dimensional (3D)) assembly of nanomaterials is an effective means of improving their properties; however, achieving this assembly at the atomic level remains challenging. Herein, we obtained a novel nanocluster, [Au₈Ag₅₇(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₂C_l2]Cl (Dppp=1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) showing a 3D octameric assembly mode involving the kernel penetration of eight complete icosahedral Au@Ag₁₀Au₂ units for the first time. The atomically precise structure was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and further confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry measurements. Furthermore, ligand‐induced transformation prompted the conversion of [Au₈Ag₅₇(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₂Cl₂]Cl, with complete octameric fusion into [Au₈Ag₅₅(Dppp)₄(C₆H₁₁S)₃₄][BPh₄]₂, with incomplete octameric fusion. These observations will hopefully facilitate further research on the assembly of M₁₃ nanobuilding blocks.     

Unique Thia‐Baeyer–Villiger‐Type Oxidation of Dibenzothiophene Sulfoxides Derivatives

The present research has demonstrated that selective C?S bond cleavages of dibenzothiophene and its derivatives are feasible by thia‐Baeyer–Villiger type oxidation, i. e. the oxygen insertion process within a sulfoxide‐carbon linkage, in the presence of porphyrin iron (III) and by ultraviolet irradiation originating from sunlight, high pressure Hg‐lamp or residentially germicidal ultraviolet lamp under very mild conditions. This reaction with tert‐butylhydroperoxide at 30.0 °C leads to dibenzo[1,2]oxathiin‐6‐oxide ( PBS ) in 83.2 % isolated yield or its hydrated products, 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐benzenesulfinic derivatives ( HPBS ) in near 100 % yield based HPLC data. PBS and HPBS are a type of biological products detected on the C?S bond cleavage step through various oxidative biodesulfurization ( OBDS ) pathways, and are useful synthetic intermediates and fine chemicals. These observations may contribute on understanding delicately molecular aspect of OBDS in the photosynthesis system, expanding the C‐S cleavage chemistry of S‐heterocyclic compounds and approaching toward biomemic desulfurization with respect to converting sulfur contaminants to chemically beneficial blocks as needed and performing under the ambient conditions.     

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Intestinal Habitat Adaptation of Ligilactobacillus equi Rich in Prophage and Degrading Cellulase

Ligilactobacillus equi is common in the horse intestine, alleviates the infection of Salmonella, and regulates intestinal flora. Despite this, there have been no genomic studies on this species. Here, we provide the genomic basis for adaptation to the intestinal habitat of this species. We sequenced the genome of L. equi IMAU81196, compared this with published genome information from three strains in NCBI, and analyzed genome characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, and functional genes. The mean genome size of L. equi strains was 2.08 ± 0.09 Mbp, and the mean GC content was 39.17% ± 0.19%. The genome size of L. equi IMAU81196 was 1.95 Mbp, and the GC content was 39.48%. The phylogenetic tree for L. equi based on 1454 core genes showed that the independent branch of strain IMAU81196 was far from the other three strains. In terms of genomic characteristics, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites, rapid annotation using subsystem technology (RAST), carbohydrate activity enzymes (CAZy), and predictions of prophage, we showed that strain L. equi JCM 10991^T and strain DSM 15833^T are not equivalent strains.It is worth mentioning thatthestrain of L. equi has numerous enzymes related to cellulose degradation, and each L. equi strain investigated contained at least one protophage. We speculate that this is the reason why these strains are adapted to the intestinal environment of horses. These results provide new research directions for the future.     

Recent Advances on Metal-Organic Frameworks in the Conversion of Carbon Dioxide

With the development of modern industry,global warming is becoming a challenging issue due to the emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases,mainly carbon dioxide(CO₂).The conversion of CO₂to useful compounds is considered as an effective and economic way to solve such a climate problem.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are an emerging class of porous crystalline materials that have shown great potential in the conversion of CO₂.The advantages of MOFs in CO 2 conversion lie in their high surface areas,adjustable pore size,and high porosity.More importantly,desirable functional sites can be easily designed and precisely installed to the pore wall of target MOFs by pre-assembly and/or post-synthetic modification(PSM)ways.This review summarizes the recent advances in constructing MOF catalysts for the application in CO₂conversion.We believe that the design and synthesis of MOF catalysts for CO₂conversion can be a promising way to solve the“greenhouse effect”.

Synthesis of CuS@CoS2 Double‐Shelled Nanoboxes with Enhanced Sodium Storage Properties

Metal sulfides have received considerable attention for efficient sodium storage owing to their high capacity and decent redox reversibility. However, the poor rate capability and fast capacity decay greatly hinder their practical application in sodium‐ion batteries. Herein, an elegant multi‐step templating strategy has been developed to rationally synthesize hierarchical double‐shelled nanoboxes with the CoS₂ nanosheet‐constructed outer shell supported on the CuS inner shell. Their structure and composition enable these hierarchical CuS@CoS₂ nanoboxes to show boosted electrochemical properties with high capacity, outstanding rate capability, and long cycle life.     

Bi‐Microporous Metal–Organic Frameworks with Cubane [M4(OH)4] (M=Ni,Co) Clusters and Pore‐Space Partition for Electrocatalytic Methanol Oxidation Reaction

Embedding cubane [M₄(OH)₄] (M=Ni, Co) clusters within the matrix of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a strategy to develop materials with unprecedented synergistic properties. Herein, a new material type based on the pore‐space partition of the cubic primitive minimal‐surface net (MOF‐14‐type) has been realized. CTGU‐15 made from the [Ni₄(OH)₄] cluster not only has very high BET surface area (3537 m² g^?1), but also exhibits bi‐microporous features with well‐defined micropores at 0.86 nm and 1.51 nm. Furthermore, CTGU‐15 is stable even under high pH (0.1 m KOH), making it well suited for methanol oxidation in basic medium. The optimal hybrid catalyst KB&CTGU‐15 (1:2) made from ketjen black (KB) and CTGU‐15 exhibits an outstanding performance with a high mass specific peak current of 527 mA mg^?1 and excellent peak current density (29.8 mA cm^?2) at low potential (0.6 V). The isostructural cobalt structure (CTGU‐16) has also been synthesized, further expanding the application potential of this material type.
