This work demonstrates that trigonally symmetric, heteroleptic V3+ complexes are candidates for optical spin addressability.Water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC), which is closely related to biogenic emissions, is of great importance in the atmosphere for its ubiquitous existence and rich abundance. Levoglucosan, a typical WSOC, is usually considered to be stable and thus used as a tracer of biomass burning. However, we found that levoglucosan can be photo-oxidized on mineral dust, with formic acid, oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid, 2,3-dioxopropanoic acid, dicarbonic acid, performic acid, mesoxalaldehyde, 2-hydroxymalonaldehyde, carbonic formic anhydride, and 1,3-dioxolane-2,4-dione detected as main products. Further, we observed the heterogeneous uptake of NH3 promoted by the carboxylic acids stemming from the photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) of levoglucosan. The mineral-dust-initiated PCO of levoglucosan and enhanced heterogeneous uptake of NH3, which are highly influenced by irradiation and moisture conditions, were for the first time revealed. The reaction mechanisms and pathways were studied in detail by diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), high-pressure photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPPI-ToF-MS) and flow reactor systems. Diverse WSOC constituents were studied as well, and the reactivity toward NH3 is related to the number of hydroxyl groups of the WSOC molecules. This work reveals a new precursor of secondary organic aerosols and provides experimental evidence of the existence of organic ammonium salts in atmospheric particles.High-resolution infrared absorption spectra of cyclohexane have been recorded from 1100 to 4000 cm-1 at room temperature and 241 K. Cyclohexane is an oblate symmetric top with D3d symmetry. A rotational analysis was obtained for the ν27 (eu) and ν14 (a2u) CH2 scissor modes at 1452.9 and 1456.4 cm-1, respectively. Several combination modes were also assigned and rotationally analyzed. The C-H stretching modes are perturbed by overtone and combination modes of the CH2 scissor vibrations, and an anharmonic local mode calculation was needed to interpret the spectra. The four main strong allowed C-H stretching modes appear as two a2u eu pairs near at 2862 and 2933 cm-1.

The unstrained cyclohexane molecule is a useful paradigm for six-membered rings in larger chemical and biological systems.Breath acetone (BrAce) is a validated biomarker of lipid oxidation and has been extensively studied for many applications, such as monitoring ketoacidosis in diabetes, guiding ketogenic diet, and measuring fat burning during exercise. Although many sensors have been reported for BrAce measurement, most of the contributions tested only synthetic or spiked breath samples, because of the complex components of human breath. Here, we show that online accurate detection of BrAce can be achieved using a colorimetric sensor. The high selectivity is enabled by the specific reaction between acetone and hydroxylamine sulfate, and the sensor has a high agreement with a reference instrument in ketosis monitoring. We anticipate that the colorimetric acetone sensor can be applied to various health-related applications.Herein, we present a new magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (MION) with a succinylated heparin monolayer coating, which exhibits the highest T1 relaxivity at 7 T and the lowest r2/r1 reported for any MION at these high-field conditions. While the recent proliferation of 7 T MRI instruments in hospitals worldwide has enabled widespread access to higher quality, more finely detailed, diagnostic imaging, clinically available contrast agents have not kept pace due to the general phenomenon of reduced efficacy of T1 relaxation as magnetic field strength is increased. Development of new MION agents is one strategy to address this need, and to this end, we demonstrate the in vitro magnetic properties of the MIONs reported here to extend to in vivo applications, providing greatly increased contrast in tumor imaging in a murine xenograft subject at 7 T. While MION-based contrast agents can have side effects in clinical application, these are generally thought to be less than those of gadolinium-based agents and here are further reduced by the small size allowing direct glomerular filtration from the blood followed by renal-excretion. Finally, we show the succinylated heparin monolayer coating to provide class leading magnetic properties over a homologous series of particles with core size ranging from 2 to 18 nm and show the properties to be strongly related to the surface area. We suggest the increased porosity and hydrophilicity of the coating to increase water accessibility to the surface resulting in the increased magnetic properties.The formation of lateral heterojunction arrays within two-dimensional (2D) crystals is an essential step to realize high-density, ultrathin electro-optical integrated circuits, although the assembling of such structures remains elusive. Here we demonstrated a rapid, scalable, and site-specific integration of lateral 2D heterojunction arrays using few-layer indium selenide (In2Se3). We use a scanning laser probe to locally convert In2Se3 into In2O3, which shows a significant increase in carrier mobility and transforms the metal-semiconductor junctions from Schottky to ohmic type. In addition, a lateral p-n heterojunction diode within a single nanosheet is demonstrated and utilized for photosensing applications. The presented method enables high-yield, site-specific formation of lateral 2D In2Se3-In2O3-based hybrid heterojunctions for realizing nanoscale devices with multiple advanced functionalities.Scalable production and controlled doping of large-area two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide films are fundamental steps toward their applications in electronic devices. Although a variety of methods for preparation of wafer-scale transition-metal dichalcogenide films have been developed, it is still challenging to realize homogeneous doping of the large-area films to modulate their electronic properties. In this paper, we report a new chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method for preparation of wafer-scale pristine and doped monolayer MoS2 films on 2-inch sapphire wafers. The molybdenum precursors are supplied in a "face-to-face" manner from a silica gel plate to the sapphire wafer, which guarantees uniform nucleation and growth of monolayer MoS2. This method can be used to prepare substitutionally doped monolayer MoS2 films. By using ReCl3 as the dopant precursor, we have obtained continuous Re-doped monolayer MoS2 films on sapphire wafers. Elemental analysis confirms successful Re-doping of the MoS2 film.
