Nanomaterial adsorbents (NAs) have shown promise to efficiently remove toxic metals from water, yet their practical use remains challenging. Limited understanding of adsorption mechanisms and scaling up evaluation are the two main obstacles. To fully realize the practical use of NAs for metal removal, we review the advanced tools and chemical principles to identify mechanisms, highlight the importance of adsorption capacity and kinetics on engineering design, and propose a systematic engineering scenario for full-scale NA implementation. Specifically, we provide in-depth insight for using density functional theory (DFT) and/or X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) to elucidate adsorption mechanisms in terms of active site verification and molecular interaction configuration. Furthermore, we discuss engineering issues for designing, scaling, and operating NA systems, including adsorption modeling, reactor selection, and NA regeneration, recovery, and disposal. This review also prioritizes research needs for (i) determining NA microstructure properties using DFT, XAFS, and machine learning and (ii) recovering NAs from treated water. Our critical review is expected to guide and advance the development of highly efficient NAs for engineering applications.We present a detailed study of the many-body expansion (MBE) for alkali metal and halide ion-water interactions and quantify the effect of these ions on the strength of the surrounding aqueous hydrogen bonding environment. Building on our previous work on neutral water clusters [J. P. Heindel and S. S. Xantheas, J. Chem. Theor. Comput.16 (11), 6843-6855 (2020)], we carry out the MBE for the alkali metal and halide ion-water clusters, Z+/-(H2O)9, where Z = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I- and compare them with the results for a pure water cluster with the same number of "bodies", viz., (H2O)10. The 2-B ion-water (I-W) interaction accounts for a larger percentage of the total cluster binding energy compared to a pure water cluster of the same size, with the total 3-B term being smaller and of opposite sign (repulsive), whereas higher order terms are essentially negligible. The same oscillating behavior around zero for the MBE terms higher than the 5-B with a basis set that was reported for water clubinding energies and the estimate of the 2-B BSSE correction, which is reported to follow a common profile for ion-water and water-water interactions when cast in terms of reduced distances and energies of the respective dimers. We expect the current results that quantify the interplay between ion-water and water-water interactions in aqueous clusters to impact the development of classical, ab initio-based force fields for monatomic ion solvation, whereas the insights into the nature of the BSSE to be critical in future ab initio-based, many-body molecular dynamics studies.Route determination of sulfur mustard was accomplished through comprehensive nontargeted screening of chemical attribution signatures. Sulfur mustard samples prepared via 11 different synthetic routes were analyzed using gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry. A large number of compounds were detected, and multivariate data analysis of the mass spectrometric results enabled the discovery of route-specific signature profiles. The performance of two supervised machine learning algorithms for retrospective synthetic route attribution, orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and random forest (RF), were compared using external test sets. Complete classification accuracy was achieved for test set samples (2/2 and 9/9) by using classification models to resolve the one-step routes starting from ethylene and the thiodiglycol chlorination methods used in the two-step routes. Retrospective determination of initial thiodiglycol synthesis methods in sulfur mustard samples, following chlorination, was more difficult. Nevertheless, the large number of markers detected using the nontargeted methodology enabled correct assignment of 5/9 test set samples using OPLS-DA and 8/9 using RF. RF was also used to construct an 11-class model with a total classification accuracy of 10/11. The developed methods were further evaluated by classifying sulfur mustard spiked into soil and textile matrix samples. Due to matrix effects and the low spiking level (0.05% w/w), route determination was more challenging in these cases. Nevertheless, acceptable classification performance was achieved during external test set validation chlorination methods were correctly classified for 12/18 and 11/15 in spiked soil and textile samples, respectively.Conventional antibiotic treatment is in most cases insufficient to eradicate biofilm-related infections, resulting in high risk of treatment failure and recurrent infections. Recent studies have shown that novel methods of antibiotic delivery can improve clinical outcomes and reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The objectives of this work were to develop and evaluate a targeting nanocarrier system that enables effective delivery of antimicrobial drugs to Staphylococcus aureus, a commonly virulent human pathogen. For this purpose, we first prepared a formulation of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) suitable for encapsulation and sustained release of antibiotics. A specific antibody against S. aureus was used as a targeting ligand and was covalently immobilized onto the surface of nanoparticulate materials. It was demonstrated that the targeting NPs preferentially bound S. aureus cells and presented an elevated accumulation in the S. aureus biofilm. Compared to free-form antibiotic, the antibiotic-loaded targeting NPs significantly enhanced in vitro bactericidal activity against S. aureus both in planktonic and biofilm forms. Using a mouse infection model, we observed improved therapeutic efficacy of these antibiotic-loaded NPs after a single intravenous administration. Taken together, our studies show that the targeting nanoparticulate system could be a promising strategy to enhance the biodistribution of antibiotics and thereby improve their efficacy.The widespread presence of hydrocarbons makes C-H functionalization an attractive alternative to traditional cross-coupling methods. As indole is an important heteroarene in a plethora of natural products and pharmaceuticals, C-H functionalization of indole moieties has emerged as one of the most important topics in this field. Due to the presence of multiple C-H bonds in indoles, site selectivity is a long-standing challenge. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tween-80.html Much effort has been devoted to the C-H functionalization of indoles at the C3 or C2 position, while accessing the benzene core (from C4 to C7) is considerably more challenging.This Account summarizes our recent efforts toward site-selective C-H functionalization of indoles at the benzene core based on innovative strategies. A common method to solve the issue involves the development of directing groups (DGs). Our early studies establish that the installation of the N-P(O) t Bu2 group at the N position can produce C7 and C6 arylation products using palladium and copper catalysts, respectively.
