Efficient synthesis of zeolites with different topologies is of great significance for both fundamental research and industrial application. Herein, the SSZ-23 zeolite, an odd zeolite containing 7-membered ring (7-MR) and 9-MR channels, has been synthesized under fluorine-free conditions via the route of pre-aging and pH regulation. By this novel synthesis route, the crystallization time can be significantly shortened to 3 days, nearly half as that by the conventional route in fluoride media. The pH value of the aging gel, i.e., the basicity, is found to play a key role in the synthesis, as SSZ-13 and SSZ-25 zeolites can be synthesized simply by changing the basicity of the same aging gel. Characterization results indicate that decreasing the basicity can promote the condensation between Si and Si/Al species and thus increase the framework density of the resulting zeolites. Finally, the dimethyl ether (DME) carbonylation reaction is employed to evaluate the catalytic properties of the above three zeolites with an identical chemical composition, and to reveal the unique confinement effect in various zeolite topologies.

The ecological conditions of freshwater aquaculture are deteriorating by degrees in recent years. Consequently, the comprehensive utilization of saline-alkaline water has garnered increasing societal attention. Here, crucian carp ( Carassius auratus ) were exposed to 20, 40 mmol/L NaHCO 3 for 30 days (T, F group). Metabolomic analyses were conducted using UPLC-QTOF/MS, complemented by biochemical and microbiology profiling to elucidate the damage of the saline environment to the intestinal microbial structure, which in turn interfered with the energy metabolism. It was observed that carbonate alkalinity (CA) exposure not only caused intestine oxidative stress but also changed the levels of several digestive enzymes, including α-amylase (AMS), chymotrypsin (CHY), lipase (LPS). Metabolomic analysis identified 22 different metabolites (DEMs) in T group and 77 DEMs in F group. MetaboAnalyst analysis indicated that these metabolites are primarily involved in energy-related pathways, including the citric acid cycle, galactose metabolism, and glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism. Intestinal microbial diversity and community composition were altered under carbonate alkalinity exposure, with increase in Proteobacteria abundance and decline in Firmicutes, abundance alongside enrichment of Sphingomonas . Herein, saline-alkaline stress disrupted the physiological homeostasis of the crucian carp intestine, leading to microbial dysbiosis and energy metabolic imbalance. This study provides a theoretical foundation for understanding the stress response of the crucian carp intestine and the role of the intestinal microbiome in host resilience under adverse environmental conditions.

The emerging concept of tunable plasmonic chirality is mostly observed as a reconfigurable behavior or a feature of complex chiral plasmonic assemblies. For discrete colloidal particles, it is challenging to achieve reversible tunability or a transient response with regard to chiroptical activities, particularly in the visible or near-infrared region. Herein, we demonstrate a stimulus-responsive system based on chiral molecule–achiral plasmonic nanoparticles coated with polyaniline (PANI) as a variable dielectric layer, in which l-/d-cysteine molecules are introduced between the gold core and the shell as a static chiral source, allowing the chiral transfer effect to be greatly amplified by the hotspot gap of sub-monomolecular thickness. By taking advantage of the responsive properties to either pH or the electric potential dual stimuli of PANI, which also provides a stable and real-time switchable dielectric environment for the whole system, dynamic tuning of the plasmon and its induced chiroptical activities of core–gap–shell nanoparticles@PANI were precisely obtained. This well-defined design provides an open platform for flexible and rational tailoring of plasmonic cores, chiral molecules, and variable dielectrics to chiroptical needs, which is important for realizing applications in chemical sensing, chiral nanocatalysis, enantioselective separations, and novel optical devices.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have investigated complexation and coacervation of scallop Patinopecten yessoensis male gonad hydrolysates (SMGHs) and polysaccharides influenced by pH and blending ratio. It has been found that SMGHs/polysaccharide composite shows better gel properties under strongly acidic conditions. Thus, the complexation and coacervation of SMGHs and gellan gum (GG) were investigated via turbidimetric titration at different pH values (1–12) and biopolymer blending ratios (9.5:0.5–6:4). RESULTS Both pH c and pH φ1 exhibited ratio-independent behavior with constant values at approximately pH 5.8 and pH 3.8, respectively, dividing SMGHs/GG blends into three phases named mixed polymers, soluble complexes and insoluble coacervates, respectively. Overall, SMGHs and GG exhibited synergistic gelation under neutral and acidic conditions, with the initial storage modulus ( G' ) increasing by approximately 42.5-, 573.7- and 3421-fold and 97.7-, 550.3- and 0.5-fold, respectively, at pH 7, 5 and 3, compared with SMGHs and GG. As pH decreased from 7 to 3, the initial G' and viscosity η values of SMGHs/GG gels increased by 20.1- and 2.3-fold, respectively, exhibiting the greatest increase in gel strength. Moreover, the free water in the SMGHs/GG system significantly shifted toward lower relaxation times attributed to the immobilization of the outer hydration layers. SMGHs/GG gels in the insoluble phase exhibited denser networks and rougher surfaces, supporting the enhanced rheological properties and water retention capacity of the gel. CONCLUSION This work provides a basic foundation for the development of pH-driven SMGHs/GG gelation by examining complexation and coacervation processes. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

The probe exhibits a remarkable NIR ratiometric fluorescence emission ( F 618nm / F 697nm ) characteristic with p K a 4.5, and the linear response over the pH range of 3.5–5.2. DIDBA also displays favorable features include large Stokes shift of 200 nm under acidic conditions, high sensitivity, good selectivity, fine photostability and reversibility . The probe has low cytotoxicity and excellent cell membrane permeability, and is applied successfully to visualize intracellular pH fluctuations in live cells without influence of autofluorescence and native cellular species in biological systems.

Chromium slag sites pose severe environmental risks due to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) contamination, characterized by high mobility and toxicity. This study focused on chromium-contaminated soil from a historical chromium slag site in North China, where long-term accumulation of chromate production residues has led to serious Cr(VI) pollution, with Cr(VI) accounting for 13–22% of total chromium and far exceeding national soil risk control standards. To elucidate Cr(VI) transformation mechanisms and elemental linkages, a combined approach of macro-scale condition experiments and micro-scale analysis was employed. Results showed that acidic conditions (pH < 7) significantly enhanced Cr(VI) reduction efficiency by promoting the conversion of CrO42−to HCrO4−/Cr2O72−. Among reducing agents, FeSO4exhibited the strongest effect (reduction efficiency >30%), followed by citric acid and fulvic acid. Temperature variations (−20 °C to 30 °C) had minimal impact on Cr(VI) transformation in the 45-day experiment, while soil moisture (20–25%) indirectly facilitated Cr(VI) reduction by enhancing the reduction of agent diffusion and microbial activity, though its effect was weaker than chemical interventions. Soil grain-size composition influenced Cr(VI) distribution unevenly: larger particles (>0.2 mm) in BC-35 and BC-36-4 acted as main Cr(VI) reservoirs due to accumulated Fe-Mn oxides, whereas BC-36-3 showed increased Cr(VI) in smaller particles (<0.074 mm). μ-XRF and correlation analysis revealed strong positive correlations between Cr and Ca, Fe, Mn, Ni (Pearson coefficient > 0.7,p< 0.01), attributed to adsorption–reduction coupling on iron-manganese oxide surfaces. In contrast, Cr showed weak correlations with Mg, Al, Si, and K. This study clarifies the complex factors governing Cr(VI) behavior in chromium slag soils, providing a scientific basis for remediation strategies such as pH adjustment (4–6) combined with FeSO4addition to enhance Cr(VI) reduction efficiency.
