All interactions are verified and energetically classified by density functional theory and their contribution at each contact point is analyzed using quantum theory of atoms in molecules model. Weak interactions, such as CH···X, CH···C e C···X, perform a key role in stabilizing the crystal packing due to the larger contact area of these fragments and their higher occurrence, compared to strong interactions such as OH···O. The crystallization mechanisms are proposed based on the model developed by the research group. The mechanism starts with the strongest interaction (π···π) present in the first coordination sphere, which forms the first 1D supramolecular chain. From this chain, hypotheses of approximation between these chains are analyzed to determine the most stable arrangement for the formation of the supramolecular layer 2D. The process continues until the formation of a supramolecular structure (3D) with growth in its three directions through interactions X···X via σ-hole.

However, it results in significant N loss through ammonia volatilization, nitrate leaching, and nitrous oxide emissions, causing environmental harm and economic loss. Urease, an enzyme in soil, rapidly catalyzes urea hydrolysis to ammonia/ammonium. To reduce ammonia volatilization, urease inhibitors delay hydrolysis until urea is dissolved in the soil body. The commercial product N-(n-butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) is effective only in certain soils, yet it dominates the current global urease inhibitor market. This study examines the performance of un- and substituted dihydroxybenzenes (DHBs) as alternatives to NBPT in two Australian soils. Among them, 4-fluorocatechol (DHB 6) and 4-bromocatechol (DHB 8) are more effective in delaying urea hydrolysis than NBPT in acidic sandy loam soil. Michaelis-Menten kinetics reveals that NBPT acts as a competitive inhibitor, while DHB 8 acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor. Density functional theory calculations suggest that DHB 8 binds to the cysteine residue in the urease mobile flap, reducing its flexibility and preventing it from assisting urea hydrolysis. This study demonstrates the potential of DHBs as efficient urease inhibitors in certain soils, offering an environmentally viable alternative to NBPT.","PeriodicalId":148,"journal":{"name":"ChemPlusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2500068"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among catalytic materials, copper stands out due to its ability to convert CO2 into a diverse range of hydrocarbons and oxygenates with significant current density. Quantum mechanical studies have greatly advanced the understanding of CO2ER on copper surfaces; however, most have focused on thermodynamics and/or kinetics to elucidate reaction mechanisms or explain experimental trends, leaving orbital-level insights largely unexplored. In this study, density functional theory calculations combined with intrinsic bond orbital analysis to track orbital evolution across 13 protonation steps involved in CO2ER to methane are employed. Based on these results, an arrow-pushing diagram is constructed to illustrate the electron flow for each step. This methodology allows to identify the key orbital used by each CO2ER intermediate to accommodate the transferred proton. Furthermore, this approach also reveals that the copper electrode actively participates in six protonation steps by exchanging pairs of electrons with CO2ER intermediates that are either selectivity-determining or rate-determining steps. These insights deepen the understanding of CO2ER mechanisms and provide a foundation for developing strategies to enhance its efficiency and selectivity.","PeriodicalId":148,"journal":{"name":"ChemPlusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2500250"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) stand out due to their unique combination of liquid crystalline order and polymer elasticity. This fusion enables LCEs to undergo large, reversible shape changes, making them ideal for applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, sensors, and adaptive optics. This review explores the latest advancements in the 4D printing of LCEs, focusing on cutting-edge fabrication techniques such as direct ink writing, VAT photopolymerization, and hybrid approaches. These methods provide precise control over molecular alignment, enabling the creation of programmable structures capable of complex movements. Integrating LCEs with nanoparticles, liquid metals, and shape-memory polymers has further enhanced their mechanical strength, thermal stability, and multifunctionality. Despite these breakthroughs, challenges remain in achieving scalability, long-term stability, and cost-effective production. This review highlights these hurdles and discusses potential solutions while emphasizing the future potential of LCEs in revolutionizing industries such as healthcare, robotics, and environmental monitoring.

The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of a CoL1-MOF is evaluated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in 1 M KOH, with a three-electrode setup under an N2 atmosphere. The CoL1-MOF exhibits a 436 mV overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA cm- 2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), while the bare GCE shows negligible activity. Tafel slope of 75 mV dec-1 reveals that CoL1-MOF follows the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism. The intrinsic activity of CoL1-MOF is further assessed through electrochemical parameters, including electrochemical double-layer capacitance (Cdl), roughness factor (Rf), and electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), demonstrating enhanced accessibility to active sites. Stability tests show that CoL1-MOF maintains consistent HER activity during continuous operation, with a gradual increase in current density due to structural reconstruction. Postelectrolysis analysis such as Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-rays (EDAX) confirmed the formation of metal hydroxide/oxyhydroxide phases accompanied by morphological changes. Remarkably, the post-electrolysis CoL1-MOF demonstrated enhanced HER performance with a reduction in overpotential. This study demonstrates the cost-effective synthesis of 1D transition metal-based MOFs and their potential for sustainable hydrogen production, offering a promising solution to the energy crisis.","PeriodicalId":148,"journal":{"name":"ChemPlusChem","volume":" ","pages":"e2500177"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144155418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
