Density functional modeling of the binding energies between aluminosilicate oligomers and different metal cations

Interactions between negatively charged aluminosilicate species and positively charged metal cations are critical to many important engineering processes and applications, including sustainable cements and aluminosilicate glasses. In an effort to probe these interactions, here we have calculated the pair-wise interaction energies (i.e., binding energies) between aluminosilicate dimer/trimer and 17 different metal cations M n+ (M n+ = Li + , Na + , K + , Cu + , Cu 2+ , Co 2+ , Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Ti 2+ , Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Co 3+ , Cr 3+ , Ti 4+ and Cr 6+ ) using a density functional theory (DFT) approach. Analysis of the DFT-optimized structural representations for the clusters (dimer/trimer + M n+ ) shows that their structural attributes (e.g., interatomic distances) are generally consistent with literature observations on aluminosilicate glasses. The DFT-derived binding energies are seen to vary considerably depending on the type of cations (i.e., charge and ionic radii) and aluminosilicate species (i.e., dimer or trimer). A survey of the literature reveals that the difference in the calculated binding energies between different M n+ can be used to explain many literature observations associated with the impact of metal cations on materials properties (e.g., glass corrosion, mineral dissolution, and ionic transport). Analysis of all the DFT-derived binding energies reveals that the correlation between these energy values and the ionic potential and field strength of the metal cations are well captured by 2nd order polynomial functions ( R 2 values of 0.99–1.00 are achieved for regressions). Given that the ionic potential and field strength of a given metal cation can be readily estimated using well-tabulated ionic radii available in the literature, these simple polynomial functions would enable rapid estimation of the binding energies of a much wider range of cations with the aluminosilicate dimer/trimer, providing guidance on the design and optimization of sustainable cements and aluminosilicate glasses and their associated applications. Finally, the limitations associated with using these simple model systems to model complex interactions are also discussed.

A DNA enzyme with Mg(2+)-Dependent RNA Phosphoesterase Activity

Previously we demonstrated that DNA can act as an enzyme in the Pb(2+)-dependent cleavage of an RNA phosphoester. This is a facile reaction, with an uncatalyzed rate for a typical RNA phosphoester of approx. 10(exp -4)/ min in the presence of 1 mM Pb(OAc)2 at pH 7.0 and 23 C. The Mg(2+) - dependent reaction is more difficult, with an uncatalyzed rate of approx. 10(exp -7)/ min under comparable conditions. Mg(2+) - dependent cleavage has special relevance to biology because it is compatible with intracellular conditions. Using in vitro selection, we sought to develop a family of phosphoester-cleaving DNA enzymes that operate in the presence of various divalent metals, focusing particularly on the Mg(2+) - dependent reaction. Results: We generated a population of greater than 10(exp 13) DNAs containing 40 random nucleotides and carried out repeated rounds of selective amplification, enriching for molecules that cleave a target RNA phosphoester in the presence of 1 mM Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+) or Pb(2+). Examination of individual clones from the Mg(2+) lineage after the sixth round revealed a catalytic motif comprised of a three-stem junction.This motif was partially randomized and subjected to seven additional rounds of selective amplification, yielding catalysts with a rate of 0.01/ min. The optimized DNA catalyst was divided into separate substrate and enzyme domains and shown to have a similar level of activity under multiple turnover conditions. Conclusions: We have generated a Mg(2+) - dependent DNA enzyme that cleaves a target RNA phosphoester with a catalytic rate approx. 10(exp 5) - fold greater than that of the uncatalyzed reaction. This activity is compatible with intracellular conditions, raising the possibility that DNA enzymes might be made to operate in vivo.

Enzymatic Properties of an Alkaline and Chelator Resistant alpha-amylase from the Alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. Isolate L1711

An alkaliphilic amylase producing bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain L 711, was selected among 13 soda lakes isolates. When grown at pH 10.5 and 37 C, strain L711 produced multiple forms of amylases in the culture broth. One of these, BAA, was purified from the culture supernatant by QAE column chromatography and preparative native gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of BAA was determined to be 51 kDa by denaturing gel electrophoresis. The pH optima for activity below and above 40 C were 9.5 - 10.0 and 7.0 - 7.5 respectively. BAA was stable in the pH range 6-11 and was completely inactivated at 55 C. The thermostability was not increased in the presence of Ca(2+). The enzyme was strongly inhibited by Ca(2+), Zn(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Ba(2+) and Cu(2+), whereas the presence of Na(+), Co(2+) and EDTA (10 mM) enhanced enzymatic activity. The K(sub m), and specific activity of BAA on soluble starch were 1.9 mg/ml and 18.5 U/mg respectively. The main end products of hydrolysis were maltotetraose, maltose and glucose.

Through form to function: root hair development and nutrient uptake

Root hairs project from the surface of the root to aid nutrient and water uptake and to anchor the plant in the soil. Their formation involves the precise control of cell fate and localized cell growth. We are now beginning to unravel the complexities of the molecular interactions that underlie this developmental regulation. In addition, after years of speculation, nutrient transport by root hairs has been demonstrated clearly at the physiological and molecular level, with evidence for root hairs being intense sites of H(+)-ATPase activity and involved in the uptake of Ca(2+), K(+), NH(4)(+), NO(3)(-), Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cl(-) and H(2)PO(4)(-).

Interaction between ATP, metal ions, glycine, and several minerals

Interactions between ATP, glycine and montmorillonite and kaolinite clay minerals in the presence of various metal cations are investigated. The adsorption of adenine nucleotides on clays and Al(OH)3 was measured as a function of pH, and glycine condensation was followed in the presence of ATP, ZnCl2, MgCl2 and either kaolinite or montmorillonite. The amounts of ATP and ADP adsorbed are found to decrease with increasing Ph, and to be considerably enhanced in experiments with Mg(2+)- and Zn(2+)-montmorillonite with respect to Na(+)-montmorillonite. The effects of divalent cations are less marked in kaolinite. Results for Al(OH)3 show the importance of adsorption at clay platelet edges at high pH. The decomposition of ATP during drying at high temperature is observed to be inhibited by small amounts of clay, vacuum, or Mg(2+) or Zn(2+) ions, and to be accompanied by peptide formation in the presence of glycine. Results suggest the importance of Zn(2+) and Mg(2+) in chemical evolution.

High-Energy and Stable Subfreezing Aqueous Zn–MnO 2 Batteries with Selective and Pseudocapacitive Zn-Ion Insertion in MnO 2

One major challenge of aqueous Zn–MnO 2 batteries for practical applications is their unacceptable performance below freezing temperatures. Here, in this study, the use of simple Zn(ClO 4 ) 2 aqueous electrolytes is described for all-weather Zn–MnO 2 batteries even down to -60 °C. The symmetric, bulky ClO 4 - anion effectively disrupts hydrogen bonds between water molecules and provides intrinsic ion diffusion even while frozen, and enables ≈260 mAh g -1 on MnO 2 cathodes at -30 °C . It is identified that subfreezing cycling shifts the reaction mechanism on the MnO 2 cathode from unstable H+ insertion to predominantly pseudocapacitive Zn 2+ insertion, which converts MnO 2 nanofibers into complicated zincated MnO x that are largely disordered and appeared as crumpled paper sheets. The Zn 2+ insertion at -30 °C is faster and much more stable than at 20 °C, and delivers ≈80% capacity retention for 1000 cycles without Mn 2+ additives. In addition, simple Zn(ClO 4 ) 2 electrolyte also enables a nearly fully reversible and dendrite-free Zn anode at -30 °C with ≈98% Coulombic efficiency. Zn–MnO 2 prototypes with an experimentally verified unit energy density of 148 Wh kg -1 at a negative-to-positive ratio of 1.5 and an electrolyte-to-capacity ratio of 2.0 are further demonstrated.

Metal oxide-promoted calcium cuprate catalysts for diol oxidative dehydrocyclization to lactones

Here, this work investigates structure-function relationships in electronically tunable, redox-active, basic Cu-Ca mixed metal oxide catalysts for oxidative dehydrocyclization of liquid diols to lactones. Compositional screening identified Ni 2+ and Zn 2+ as effective promoters that increase the surface Cu 2+ population by ∼1.7× and Cu-normalized activity for liquid 1,4-butanediol conversion to γ-butyrolactone by ∼3–4×. In situ Raman spectroscopy, in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in situ diffuse-reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS), ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), and H 2 -temperature-programmed reduction (H 2 -TPR) show that Ni 2+ or Zn 2+ incorporation promotes the formation of Ca 0.82 Cu 1.00 O 2 nanoparticles under mild calcination conditions. This cuprate phase features stronger and shorter Cu–O bonds (1.90 Å) than inactive bulk CuO (1.95 Å) and square-planar Cu 2+ O 4 sites with enhanced d z2 electrophilicity, strengthening alkoxy adsorption. Pyridine-DRIFTS confirms the purely basic nature of the catalyst surface, while methanol-DRIFTS indicates Cu 2+ surface enrichment with Ni or Zn promotion, where Cu–O(Ca)–Cu sites can exist as amorphous domains or a truncation layer on crystalline nanoparticles.

Pyrrophens: Pyrrole-Based Hexadentate Ligands Tailor-Made for Uranyl (UO 2 2+ ) Coordination and Molecular Recognition

Derivatives of a novel pyrrole-containing Schiff base ligand system (called “pyrrophen”) are presented which feature substituted phenylene linkers (R 1 = R 2 = H (H 2 L 1 ); R 1 = R 2 = CH 3 (H 2 L 2 )) and a binding pocket modeled after macrocyclic species. These ligands bind neutral CH 3 OH in the solid state through pyrrolic hydrogen-bonding. Here, the interaction of the uranyl cation (UO 2 2+ ) and H 2 L 1–2 yields planar hexagonal bipyramdial uranyl complexes, while the Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ complexes were found to self-assemble as dinuclear helicate complexes (M 2 L 2 ) with H 2 L 1 under identical conditions. The favorable binding of UO 2 2+ over Zn 2+ provides insight into the molecular recognition of uranyl over other metal species. Structural features of these complexes are examined with special attention to features of the UO 2 2+ coordination environment which distinguish them from other related salophen and porphyrinoid complexes.

An electrochemical study of Ni/2+/, Co/2+/, and Zn/2+/ ions in melts of composition CaMgSi2O6

Results are reported for a study of the behavior of Ni(2+), Co(2+), and Zn(2+) in molten diopside, determined by cyclic voltametry, as a first step in adapting electrochemical methods for use in experimental geochemistry. The techniques used are described, the theory is briefly discussed, and it is demonstrated that Ni(2+), Co(2+), and Zn(2+) can be reduced, then reoxidized in an uncomplicated case of reversible charge transfer at the Pt electrode. This implies that the neutral metal atoms remain undissolved in the melt. The kinetics of the reduction process, the effects of concentration, the standard reduction potentials, and the diffusion coefficients are discussed in detail. The observations are consistent with the mechanism of Ni(2+) diffusion by transport from site to site. As the proportion of SiO2 in the melt increases, a higher activation energy is required for Ni(2+) to move, and the rate of diffusion is lowered.

Tuning the Radius Ratio to Enhance Thermoelectric Properties in the Zintl Compounds AM 2 Sb 2 (A = Ba, Sr; M = Zn, Cd)

Five novel Zintl phase solid solutions in the Ba 1–x Sr x Zn 2–y Cd y Sb 2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.13(1); 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.32(2)) system were successfully synthesized by the molten Pb metal-flux method, and the powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses proved that all five title compounds adopted the BaCu 2 S 2 -type phase having the orthorhombic Pnma space group (Z = 4, Pearson code oP20) with five crystallographically independent atomic sites. The previously studied BaCu 2 S 2 -type antimonides demonstrated a limited tolerance for doping in contrast to the CaAl 2 Si 2 -type antimonides. To understand the relatively narrower phase width and limited dopability of the title BaCu 2 S 2 -type phase than the CaAl 2 Si 2 -type phase in the overall Ba 1–x Sr x Zn 2–y Cd y Sb 2 system, the radius ratio of cations and anionic elements r + /r – for two structure types were thoroughly investigated. For the first time, the r + /r – ratio was identified as a critical factor for the phase selectivity: (1) r + /r – > 1 favored the BaCu 2 S 2 -type phase, and (2) r + /r – < 1 favored the CaAl 2 Si 2 -type phase. Further, we also revealed the structural transformation mechanism from the more widely observed CaAl 2 Si 2 -type phase to the title BaCu 2 S 2 -type phase as the relatively larger cationic elements were introduced to the system. A series of DFT calculations using the three hypothetical models indicated that a resonance peak near EF in the density of states curves was descended from the relatively flat band structure at several special symmetry points rationalizing the enhanced Seebeck coefficients of Ba 0.94(1) Sr 0.06 Zn 1.86(3) Cd 0.14 Sb 2 and Ba 0.96(1) Sr 0.04 Zn 1.68(2) Cd 0.32 Sb 2 . Electron localization function analysis rationalized the correlation between the polarity change of anionic Zn/Cd–Sb bonds and the charge carrier mobility on the anionic frameworks. Temperature-dependent thermoelectric properties were studied for the four title compounds, and the results proved that the Sr and Cd doping in the title Ba 1–x Sr x Zn 2–y Cd y Sb 2 system successfully enhanced the ZT values through the increased Seebeck coefficients and the reduced total thermal conductivities.
