The Borromean link is a topological structure composed of three independent yet interlocked rings, characterized by the fact that disconnecting any one ring results in the complete separation of the other two. This structure not only possesses aesthetic value but also holds significant research importance in molecular topology and supramolecular ch...

Academic Background Transition metal clusters have long been a focus of chemical research due to their unique structures and electronic properties. Chromium (Cr), as one of the transition metals, is particularly notable for its interesting Cr-Cr bonding interactions and diverse structural arrangements. However, exploring the synthesis of polynuclea...

In enzyme catalysis, the proximity effect is a common phenomenon that forces reactions to occur by bringing two or more molecules close together. To achieve this effect, the active center requires multiple binding sites to preorganize reactants before the reaction. Although this effect has been extensively studied in enzyme catalysis, its applicati...

Uranium (U) is a radioactive element widely present in the environment, primarily existing in its hexavalent (U(VI)) and tetravalent (U(IV)) oxidation states. Under oxidizing conditions, U(VI) is the dominant stable form, while under reducing conditions, U(VI) can be reduced to U(IV). This reduction process can occur through abiotic pathways (e.g.,...

Molybdenum (Mo) is one of the most abundant trace metals in the ocean, and its distinct behavior under different redox conditions makes it an effective indicator of paleoceanographic redox conditions. Particularly in anoxic and sulfidic environments, the speciation and behavior of Mo differ significantly from those in oxic environments. However, th...
