Singlet fission (SF) materials hold the potential to increase the power conversion efficiency of solar cells by reducing the thermalization of high-energy excited states. The major hurdle in realizing this potential is the limited scope of SF-active materials with high fission efficiency, suitable energy levels, and sufficient chemical stability. Herein, using theoretical calculation and time-resolved spectroscopy, we developed a highly stable SF material based on dipyrrolonaphthyridinedione (DPND), a pyrrole-fused cross-conjugated skeleton with a distinctive adaptive aromaticity (dual aromaticity) character. The embedded pyrrole ring with 4n+2 π-electron features aromaticity in the ground state, while the dipole resonance of the amide bonds promotes a 4n π-electron Baird's aromaticity in the triplet state. Such an adaptive aromaticity renders the molecule efficient for the SF process [E(S1) ≥ 2E(T1)] without compromising its stability. Up to 173% triplet yield, strong blue-green light absorption, and suitable triplet energy of 1.2 eV, as well as excellent stability, make DPND a promising SF sensitizer toward practical applications.Coffee is one of the most consumed hot beverages worldwide and is highly regarded because of its stimulating effect despite having a pronounced bitterness. Even though numerous bitter ingredients have been identified, the detailed molecular basis for coffee's bitterness is not well understood except for caffeine, which activates five human bitter taste receptors. We elucidated the contribution of other bitter coffee constituents in addition to caffeine with functional calcium imaging experiments using mammalian cells expressing the cDNAs of human bitter taste receptors, sensory experiments, and in silico modeling approaches. We identified two human bitter taste receptors, TAS2R43 and TAS2R46, that responded to the bitter substance mozambioside with much higher sensitivity than to caffeine. Further, the structurally related bitter substances bengalensol, cafestol, and kahweol also activated the same pair of bitter taste receptors much more potently than the prototypical coffee bitter substance caffeine. However, for kahweol, a potent but weak activator of TAS2R43 and TAS2R46, we observed an inhibitory effect when simultaneously applied together with mozambioside to TAS2R43 expressing cells. Molecular modeling experiments showed overlapping binding sites in the receptor's ligand binding cavity that suggest that the partial agonist kahweol might be useful to reduce the overall bitterness of coffee-containing beverages. Taken together, we found that the bitterness of coffee is determined by a complex interaction of multiple bitter compounds with several human bitter taste receptors.We investigated the effect on melon fruits of "fish water" alone or in combination with a supplement of synthetic fertilizers in a nutrient solution or foliar application of Ca(NO3)2. These treatments were compared with a traditional soilless system with synthetic fertilizers and no reuse of the nutrient solution. The results show that the treatments with recirculation of fish water and with the foliar supplement yielded fruits of greater weight and size but with reduced lightness and lower concentrations of proteins, NO3-, K+, and total amino acids. The supply of synthetic nutrients to the roots or leaves caused a reduction in the sugar concentrations and the antioxidant activity of these fruits. The use of fish water (alone or with an amendment) increased spermine and putrescine with respect to the traditional soilless crop management. The results for these bioactive compounds in melons should be considered for maintenance of health with age.Bioaccumulation of the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) in rice has raised worldwide concerns because of its risks to human health. Certain microorganisms are able to degrade MeHg in pure cultures, but the roles and diversities of the microbial communities in MeHg degradation in rice paddy soils are unknown. Using a series of microcosms, we investigated MeHg degradation in paddy soils from Hunan, Guizhou, and Hubei provinces, representing three major rice production regions in China, and further characterized one of the soils from the Hunan Province for microbial communities associated with MeHg degradation. Microbial demethylation was observed in all three soils, demonstrated by significantly more MeHg degraded in the unsterilized soils than in the sterilized controls. More demethylation occurred in water-saturated soils than in unsaturated soils, but the addition of molybdate and bromoethanesulfonic acid as the respective inhibitors of sulfate reducing bacteria and methanogens showed insignificant effects on MeHg degradation. However, the addition of Cu enhanced MeHg degradation and the enrichment of Xanthomonadaceae in the unsaturated soil. 16S rRNA Illumina sequencing and metatranscriptomic analyses of the Hunan soil consistently revealed that Catenulisporaceae, Frankiaceae, Mycobacteriaceae, and Thermomonosporaceae were among the most likely microbial taxa in influencing MeHg degradation in the paddy soil, and they were confirmed by combined analyses of the co-occurrence network, random forest modeling, and linear discriminant analysis of the effect size. Our results shed additional light onto the roles of microbial communities in MeHg degradation in paddy soils and its subsequent bioaccumulation in rice grains.Using a high-pressure synthesis method, we prepared the layered oxychalcogenide Ba2CoO2Ag2Te2 (space group I4/mmm) with alternating stacks of CoO2 and Ag2Te2 layers, separated by Ba atoms. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/terephthalic-acid.html The CoO2 plane is greatly extended (Co-O = 2.19 Å on average) due to tensile strain from adjacent Ag2Te2 layers, causing displacement of oxide anions. Layered cobaltates with trans-CoO4X2 (X = chalcogen, halogen) coordination feature large spin-orbit coupling, which is linearly scaled by the tetrahedral factor of dCo-X/dCo-O. However, applying this relation to Ba2CoO2Ag2Te2 yields a magnetic moment of ∼4 μB, which is nearly twice the experimentally observed value of 1.87(17) μB. This result, along with a reduced Néel temperature (TN = 60 K), originates from the off-centered position of otherwise under-bonded oxide anions, which changes the crystal field splitting of Co d orbitals.
