Abstract
In this work, via engineering the conformation of cobalt active center in cobalt phthalocyanine molecular catalyst, the catalytic efficiency of electrochemical carbon monoxide reduction to methanol can be dramatically tuned. Based on a collection of experimental investigations and density functional theory calculations, it reveals that the electron rearrangement of the Co 3d orbitals of cobalt phthalocyanine from the low-spin state (S = 1/2) to the high-spin state (S = 3/2), induced by molecular conformation change, is responsible for the greatly enhanced CO reduction reaction performance. Operando attenuated total reflectance surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy measurements disclose accelerated hydrogenation of CORR intermediates, and kinetic isotope effect validates expedited proton-feeding rate over cobalt phthalocyanine with high-spin state. Further natural population analysis and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the high spin Co2+ can enhance the electron backdonation via the dxz/dyz-2π* bond and weaken the C-O bonding in *CO, promoting hydrogenation of CORR intermediates.

Abstract
Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) was first described over a century ago, it remains the leading cause of age-related dementia. Innumerable changes have been linked to the pathology of AD; however, there remains much discord regarding which might be the initial cause of the disease. The "amyloid cascade hypothesis" proposes that the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide is central to disease pathology, which is supported by elevated Aβ levels in the brain before the development of symptoms and correlations of amyloid burden with cognitive impairment. The "metals hypothesis" proposes a role for metal ions such as iron, copper, and zinc in the pathology of AD, which is supported by the accumulation of these metals within amyloid plaques in the brain. Metals have been shown to induce aggregation of Aβ, and metal ion chelators have been shown to reverse this reaction in vitro. 8-Hydroxyquinoline-based chelators showed early promise as anti-Alzheimer's drugs. Both 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (CQ) and 5,7-dichloro-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline (PBT2) underwent unsuccessful clinical trials for the treatment of AD. To gain insight into the mechanism of action of 8HQs, we have investigated the potential interaction of CQ, PBT2, and 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (B2Q) with Cu(II)-bound Aβ(1-42) using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), high energy resolution fluorescence detected (HERFD) XAS, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). By XAS, we found CQ and B2Q sequestered ∼83% of the Cu(II) from Aβ(1-42), whereas PBT2 sequestered only ∼59% of the Cu(II) from Aβ(1-42), suggesting that CQ and B2Q have a higher relative Cu(II) affinity than PBT2. From our EPR, it became clear that PBT2 sequestered Cu(II) from a heterogeneous mixture of Cu(II)Aβ(1-42) species in solution, leaving a single Cu(II)Aβ(1-42) species. It follows that the Cu(II) site in this Cu(II)Aβ(1-42) species is inaccessible to PBT2 and may be less solvent-exposed than in other Cu(II)Aβ(1-42) species. We found no evidence to suggest that these 8HQs form ternary complexes with Cu(II)Aβ(1-42).

Abstract
Mercury is ubiquitous in the environment, with rising levels due to pollution and climate change being a current global concern. Many mercury compounds are notorious for their toxicity, with the potential of organometallic mercury compounds for devastating effects on the structures and functions of the central nervous system being of particular concern. Chronic exposure of human populations to low levels of methylmercury compounds occurs through consumption of fish and other seafood, although the health consequences, if any, from this exposure remain controversial. We have used high energy resolution fluorescence detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy to determine the speciation of mercury and selenium in human brain tissue. We show that the molecular fate of mercury differs dramatically between individuals who suffered acute organometallic mercury exposure (poisoning) and individuals with chronic low-level exposure from a diet rich in marine fish. For long-term low-level methylmercury exposure from fish consumption, mercury speciation in brain tissue shows methylmercury coordinated to an aliphatic thiolate, resembling the coordination environment observed in marine fish. In marked contrast, for short-term high-level exposure, we observe the presence of biologically less available mercuric selenide deposits, confirmed by X-ray fluorescence imaging, as well as mercury(II)-bis-thiolate complexes, which may be signatures of severe poisoning in humans. These differences between low-level and high-level exposures challenge the relevance of studies involving acute exposure as a proxy for low-level chronic exposure.

Abstract
X-Ray and related spectroscopies are powerful probes of atomic, vibrational, and electronic structure. In order to unlock the full potential of such experimental techniques, accurate and efficient theoretical and computational approaches are essential. Here we review the status of a variety of first-principles and nearly first principles techniques for X-ray spectroscopies such as X-ray absorption, X-ray emission, and X-ray photoemission, with a focus on Green's function based methods. In particular, we describe the current state of multiple scattering Green's function techniques available in the FEFF10 code and cumulant Green's function techniques for including the effects of many-body electronic excitations. Illustrative examples are shown for a variety of materials and compared with other theoretical and experimental results.

Abstract
Mercury is in some sense an enigmatic element. The element and some of its compounds are a natural part of the biogeochemical cycle; while many of these can be deadly poisons at higher levels, environmental levels in the absence of anthropogenic contributions would generally be below the threshold for concern. However, mercury pollution, particularly from burning fossil fuels such as coal, is providing dramatic and increasing emissions into the environment. Because of this, the environmental chemistry and toxicology of mercury are of growing importance, with the fate of mercury being vitally dependent upon its speciation. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides a powerful tool for in situ chemical speciation, but is severely limited by poor spectroscopic energy resolution. Here, we provide a systematic examination of mercury Lα1 high energy resolution fluorescence detected XAS (HERFD-XAS) as an approach for chemical speciation of mercury, in quantitative comparison with conventional Hg LIII-edge XAS. We show that, unlike some lighter elements, chemical shifts in the Lα1 X-ray fluorescence energy can be safely neglected, so that mercury Lα1 HERFD-XAS can be treated simply as a high-resolution version of conventional XAS. We present spectra of a range of mercury compounds that may be relevant to the environmental and life science research and show that density functional theory can produce adequate simulations of the spectra. We discuss strengths and limitations of the method and quantitatively demonstrate improvements both in speciation for complex mixtures and in background rejection for low concentrations.

Abstract
Binding of Lewis acidic metal ions and Brønsted acid at the metal-oxo group of high-valent metal-oxo complexes enhances their reactivities significantly in oxidation reactions. However, such a binding of Lewis acids and proton at the metal-oxo group has been questioned in several cases and remains to be clarified. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity studies of a mononuclear manganese(IV)-oxo complex binding triflic acid, {[(dpaq)MnIV(O)]-HOTf}+ (1-HOTf). First, 1-HOTf was synthesized and characterized using various spectroscopic techniques, including resonance Raman (rRaman) and X-ray absorption spectroscopy/extended X-ray absorption fine structure. In particular, in rRaman experiments, we observed a linear correlation between the Mn-O stretching frequencies of 1-HOTf (e.g., νMn-O at ∼793 cm-1) and 1-Mn+ (Mn+ = Ca2+, Zn2+, Lu3+, Al3+, or Sc3+) and the Lewis acidities of H+ and Mn+ ions, suggesting that H+ and Mn+ bind at the metal-oxo moiety of [(dpaq)MnIV(O)]+. Interestingly, a single-crystal structure of 1-HOTf was obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis, but the structure was not an expected Mn(IV)-oxo complex but a Mn(IV)-hydroxide complex, [(dpaq)MnIV(OH)](OTf)2 (4), with a Mn-O bond distance of 1.8043(19) Å and a Mn-O stretch at 660 cm-1. More interestingly, 4 reverted to 1-HOTf upon dissolution, demonstrating that 1-HOTf and 4 are interconvertible depending on the physical states, such as 1-HOTf in solution and 4 in isolated solid. The reactivity of 1-HOTf was investigated in hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reactions and then compared with those of 1-Mn+ complexes; an interesting correlation between the Mn-O stretching frequencies of 1-HOTf and 1-Mn+ and their reactivities in the OAT and HAT reactions is reported for the first time in this study.

Abstract
Methanotrophic bacteria catalyze the aerobic oxidation of methane to methanol using Cu-containing enzymes, thereby exerting a modulating influence on the global methane cycle. To facilitate the acquisition of Cu ions, some methanotrophic bacteria secrete small modified peptides known as "methanobactins," which strongly bind Cu and function as an extracellular Cu recruitment relay, analogous to siderophores and Fe. In addition to Cu, methanobactins form complexes with other late transition metals, including the Group 12 transition metals Zn, Cd, and Hg, although the interplay among solution-phase configurations, metal interactions, and the spectroscopic signatures of methanobactin-metal complexes remains ambiguous. In this study, the complexation of Zn, Cd, and Hg by methanobactin from Methylocystis sp. strain SB2 was studied using a combination of absorbance, fluorescence, extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. We report changes in sample absorbance and fluorescence spectral dynamics, which occur on a wide range of experimental timescales and characterize a clear stoichiometric complexation dependence. Mercury L3-edge EXAFS and TD-DFT calculations suggest a linear model for HgS coordination, and TD-DFT suggests a tetrahedral model for Zn2+ and Cd2+. We observed an enhancement in the fluorescence of methanobactin upon interaction with transition metals and propose a mechanism of complexation-hindered isomerization drawing inspiration from the wild-type Green Fluorescent Protein active site. Collectively, our results represent the first combined computational and experimental spectroscopy study of methanobactins and shed new light on molecular interactions and dynamics that characterize complexes of methanobactins with Group 12 transition metals.

A combination of Pt L3-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS and XANES) and DFT (TPSS) calculations have been performed on powder samples of the archetypal platinum porphyrinoid complexes PtII[TpCF3PP], PtIV[TpCF3PP]Cl2, and PtIV[TpCF3PC](Ar)(py), where TpCF3PP2- = meso-tetrakis(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)porphyrinato and TpCF3PC3- = meso-tris(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)corrolato. The three complexes yielded Pt L3-edge energies of 11 566.0 eV, 11 567.2 eV, and 11 567.6 eV, respectively. The 1.2 eV blueshift from the Pt(ii) to the Pt(iv) porphyrin derivative is smaller than expected for a formal two-electron oxidation of the metal center. A rationale was provided by DFT-based Hirshfeld which showed that the porphyrin ligand in the Pt(iv) complex is actually substantially oxidized relative to that in the Pt(ii) complex. The much smaller blueshift of 0.4 eV, going from PtIV[TpCF3PP]Cl2, and PtIV[TpCF3PC](Ar)(py), is ascribable to the significantly stronger ligand field in the latter compound.

Abstract
Selenium is in many ways an enigmatic element. It is essential for health but toxic in excess, with the difference between the two doses being narrower than for any other element. Environmentally, selenium is of concern due to its toxicity. As the rarest of the essential elements, its low levels often provide challenges to the analytical chemist. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides a powerful tool for in situ chemical speciation but is severely limited by poor spectroscopic resolution arising from core-hole lifetime broadening. Here we explore selenium Kα1 high energy resolution fluorescence detected XAS (HERFD-XAS) as a novel approach for chemical speciation of selenium, in comparison with conventional Se K-edge XAS. We present spectra of a range of selenium species relevant to environmental and life science studies, including spectra of seleno-amino acids, which show strong similarities with S K-edge XAS of their sulfur congeners. We discuss strengths and limitations of HERFD-XAS, showing improvements in both speciation performance and low concentration detection. We also develop a simple method to correct fluorescence self-absorption artifacts, which is generally applicable to any HERFD-XAS experiment.

Abstract
Biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (BDOM), which has a substantial impact on the environmental behavior of heavy metals, is critical for understanding the environmental efficacy of biochar. Here, we used a suite of advanced spectroscopic and mass spectroscopic methods to investigate the relationship among the pyrolysis temperature of biochar, composition of BDOM, and interactions of BDOM with Cu. The binding affinity of BDOM and Cu showed incredibly increase, with the increasing pyrolysis temperature (300-500 °C) which promoted the release of condensed aromatic compounds and oxygen-containing functional groups from biochar into dissolved phase. A notable difference in the sequences binding with Cu was occurred during the changing pyrolysis temperature. The amide only involved in the binding process between Cu and BDOM at low-temperature (300 and 400 °C), whereas phenolic only associated with the such binding process at high-temperature (500 °C). Apart from this, the carboxyl and polysaccharides took part in the binding process of Cu with BDOM, no matter how higher the temperature is. A further analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed that bidentate carboxylic-Cu complexes appear to be the predominant binding pattern for Cu to BDOM. Our results might contribute to provide novel information for the environment applications of biochar.

Abstract
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes both the synthesis and the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). Its catalytic site contains Ni at the core of cofactor F430. The Ni ion, in its low-valent Ni(I) state, lights the fuse leading to homolysis of the C-S bond of methyl-coenzyme M (methyl-SCoM) to generate a methyl radical, which abstracts a hydrogen atom from coenzyme B (HSCoB) to generate methane and the mixed disulfide CoMSSCoB. Direct reversal of this reaction activates methane to initiate anaerobic methane oxidation. On the basis of the crystal structures, which reveal a Ni-thiol interaction between Ni(II)-MCR and inhibitor CoMSH, a Ni(I)-thioether complex with substrate methyl-SCoM has been transposed to canonical MCR mechanisms. Similarly, a Ni(I)-disulfide with CoMSSCoB is proposed for the reverse reaction. However, this Ni(I)-sulfur interaction poses a conundrum for the proposed hydrogen-atom abstraction reaction because the >6 Å distance between the thiol group of SCoB and the thiol of SCoM observed in the structures appears to be too long for such a reaction. The spectroscopic, kinetic, structural, and computational studies described here establish that both methyl-SCoM and CoMSSCoB bind to the active Ni(I) state of MCR through their sulfonate groups, forming a hexacoordinate Ni(I)-N/O complex, not Ni(I)-S. These studies rule out direct Ni(I)-sulfur interactions in both substrate-bound states. As a solution to the mechanistic conundrum, we propose that both the forward and the reverse MCR reactions emanate through long-range electron transfer from the Ni(I)-sulfonate complexes with methyl-SCoM and CoMSSCoB, respectively.

Abstract
PBT2 (5,7-dichloro-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline) is a small Cu(II)-binding drug that has been investigated in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, namely, Alzheimer's disease (AD). PBT2 is thought to be highly effective at crossing the blood-brain barrier and has been proposed to exert anti-Alzheimer's effects through the modulation of metal ion concentrations in the brain, specifically the sequestration of Cu(II) from amyloid plaques. However, despite promising initial results in animal models and in clinical trials where PBT2 was shown to improve cognitive function, larger-scale clinical trials did not find PBT2 to have a significant effect on the amyloid plaque burden compared with controls. We propose that the results of these clinical trials likely point to a more complex mechanism of action for PBT2 other than simple Cu(II) sequestration. To this end, herein we have investigated the solution chemistry of Cu(II) coordination by PBT2 primarily using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), high-energy-resolution fluorescence-detected XAS, and electron paramagnetic resonance. We propose that a novel bis-PBT2 Cu(II) complex with asymmetric coordination may coexist in solution with a symmetric four-coordinate Cu(II)-bis-PBT2 complex distorted from coplanarity. Additionally, PBT2 is a more flexible ligand than other 8HQs because it can act as both a bidentate and a tridentate ligand as well as coordinate Cu(II) in both 1:1 and 2:1 PBT2/Cu(II) complexes.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyquinolines (8HQs) are a family of lipophilic metal ion chelators that have been used in a range of analytical and pharmaceutical applications over the last 100 years. More recently, CQ (clioquinol; 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline) and PBT2 (5,7-dichloro-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline) have undergone clinical trials for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease. Because CQ and PBT2 appear to redistribute metals into cells, these compounds have been redefined as copper and zinc ionophores. Despite the attention surrounding the clinical trials and the clear link between 8HQs and metals, the fundamental solution chemistry of how these compounds bind divalent metals such as copper and zinc, as well as their mechanism(s) of action in mammalian systems, remains poorly understood. In this study, we used a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), high-energy resolution fluorescence detected (HERFD) XAS, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and UV-visible absorption spectroscopies to investigate the aqueous solution chemistry of a range of 8HQ derivatives. To circumvent the known solubility issues with 8HQ compounds and their complexes with Cu(II), and to avoid the use of abiological organic solvents, we have devised a surfactant buffer system to investigate these Cu(II) complexes in aqueous solution. Our study comprises the first comprehensive investigation of the Cu(II) complexes formed with many 8HQs of interest in aqueous solution, and it provides the first structural information on some of these complexes. We find that halogen substitutions in 8HQ derivatives appear to have little effect on the Cu(II) coordination environment; 5,7-dihalogenated 8HQ conformers all have a pseudo square planar Cu(II) bound by two quinolin-8-olate anions, in agreement with previous studies. Conversely, substituents in the 2-position of the 8HQ moiety appear to cause significant distortions from the typical square-planar-like coordination of most Cu(II)-bis-8HQ complexes, such that the 8HQ moieties in the Cu(II)-bis-8HQ complex are rotated approximately 30-40° apart in a "propeller-like" arrangement.

Abstract
Acid effects on the chemical properties of metal-oxygen intermediates have attracted much attention recently, such as the enhanced reactivity of high-valent metal(IV)-oxo species by binding proton(s) or Lewis acidic metal ion(s) in redox reactions. Herein, we report for the first time the proton effects of an iron(V)-oxo complex bearing a negatively charged tetraamido macrocyclic ligand (TAML) in oxygen atom transfer (OAT) and electron-transfer (ET) reactions. First, we synthesized and characterized a mononuclear nonheme Fe(V)-oxo TAML complex (1) and its protonated iron(V)-oxo complexes binding two and three protons, which are denoted as 2 and 3, respectively. The protons were found to bind to the TAML ligand of the Fe(V)-oxo species based on spectroscopic characterization, such as resonance Raman, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The two-protons binding constant of 1 to produce 2 and the third protonation constant of 2 to produce 3 were determined to be 8.0(7) × 108 M-2 and 10(1) M-1, respectively. The reactivities of the proton-bound iron(V)-oxo complexes were investigated in OAT and ET reactions, showing a dramatic increase in the rate of sulfoxidation of thioanisole derivatives, such as 107 times increase in reactivity when the oxidation of p-CN-thioanisole by 1 was performed in the presence of HOTf (i.e., 200 mM). The one-electron reduction potential of 2 (Ered vs SCE = 0.97 V) was significantly shifted to the positive direction, compared to that of 1 (Ered vs SCE = 0.33 V). Upon further addition of a proton to a solution of 2, a more positive shift of the Ered value was observed with a slope of 47 mV/log([HOTf]). The sulfoxidation of thioanisole derivatives by 2 was shown to proceed via ET from thioanisoles to 2 or direct OAT from 2 to thioanisoles, depending on the ET driving force.

Abstract
Industrial release of mercury into the local Minamata environment with consequent poisoning of local communities through contaminated fish and shellfish consumption is considered the classic case of environmental mercury poisoning. However, the mercury species in the factory effluent has proved controversial, originally suggested as inorganic, and more recently as methylmercury species. We used newly available methods to re-examine the cerebellum of historic Cat 717, which was fed factory effluent mixed with food to confirm the source. Synchrotron high-energy-resolution fluorescence detection-X-ray absorption spectroscopy revealed sulfur-bound organometallic mercury with a minor β-HgS phase. Density functional theory indicated energetic preference for α-mercuri-acetaldehyde as a waste product of aldehyde production. The consequences of this alternative species in the "classic" mercury poisoning should be re-evaluated.

Abstract
The activation of dioxygen by FeII(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) is reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 at -135 °C in 2-MeTHF generates a thiolate-ligated (peroxo)diiron complex FeIII2(O2)(Me3TACN)2(S2SiMe2)2 (2) that was characterized by UV-vis (λmax = 300, 390, 530, 723 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.53, |ΔEQ| = 0.76 mm s-1), resonance Raman (RR) (ν(O-O) = 849 cm-1), and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopies. Complex 2 is distinct from the outer-sphere oxidation product 1ox (UV-vis (λmax = 435, 520, 600 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.45, |ΔEQ| = 3.6 mm s-1), and EPR (S = 5/2, g = [6.38, 5.53, 1.99])), obtained by one-electron oxidation of 1. Cleavage of the peroxo O-O bond can be initiated either photochemically or thermally to produce a new species assigned as an FeIV(O) complex, FeIV(O)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (3), which was identified by UV-vis (λmax = 385, 460, 890 nm), Mössbauer (δ = 0.21, |ΔEQ| = 1.57 mm s-1), RR (ν(FeIV═O) = 735 cm-1), and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, as well as reactivity patterns. Reaction of 3 at low temperature with H atom donors gives a new species, FeIII(OH)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (4). Complex 4 was independently synthesized from 1 by the stoichiometric addition of a one-electron oxidant and a hydroxide source. This work provides a rare example of dioxygen activation at a mononuclear nonheme iron(II) complex that produces both FeIII-O-O-FeIII and FeIV(O) species in the same reaction with O2. It also demonstrates the feasibility of forming Fe/O2 intermediates with strongly donating sulfur ligands while avoiding immediate sulfur oxidation.

Abstract
[NiFe]-hydrogenase enzymes catalyze the reversible oxidation of hydrogen at a bimetallic cluster and are used by bacteria and archaea for anaerobic growth and pathogenesis. Maturation of the [NiFe]-hydrogenase requires several accessory proteins to assemble and insert the components of the active site. The penultimate maturation step is the delivery of nickel to a primed hydrogenase enzyme precursor protein, a process that is accomplished by two nickel metallochaperones, the accessory protein HypA and the GTPase HypB. Recent work demonstrated that nickel is rapidly transferred to HypA from GDP-loaded HypB within the context of a protein complex in a nickel selective and unidirectional process. To investigate the mechanism of metal transfer, we examined the allosteric effects of nucleotide cofactors and partner proteins on the nickel environments of HypA and HypB by using a combination of biochemical, microbiological, computational, and spectroscopic techniques. We observed that loading HypB with either GDP or a nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue resulted in a similar nickel environment. In addition, interaction with a mutant version of HypA with disrupted nickel binding, H2Q-HypA, does not induce substantial changes to the HypB G-domain nickel site. Instead, the results demonstrate that HypB modifies the acceptor site of HypA. Analysis of a peptide maquette derived from the N-terminus of HypA revealed that nickel is predominately coordinated by atoms from the N-terminal Met-His motif. Furthermore, HypA is capable of two nickel-binding modes at the N-terminus, a HypB-induced mode and a binding mode that mirrors the peptide maquette. Collectively, these results reveal that HypB brings about changes in the nickel coordination of HypA, providing a mechanism for the HypB-dependent control of the acquisition and release of nickel by HypA.

Sorption mechanisms of diphenylarsinic acid on ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite using sequential extraction, FTIR measurement and XAFS spectroscopy. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 669:991-1000.

Abstract
Diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) is an organoarsenic compound derived from abandoned chemical weapons. DPAA sorption by iron (hydr)oxides is of considerable importance but remains largely unexplored. The current study aimed at investigating the sorption mechanisms of DPAA on ferrihydrite, goethite and hematite using both macroscopic sorption kinetics and sequential extraction procedure (SEP) as well as microscopic Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopic techniques. Sorption kinetics studies show that >93% of added DPAA (4-100 mg L-1) was sorbed on ferrihydrite and hematite within 5 min, while only 84% of added DPAA (100 mg L-1) was sorbed on goethite after 24 h. The sequential extraction results and FTIR measurements reveal that DPAA formed simultaneously inner- and outer-sphere complexes on goethite and hematite, but predominantly inner-sphere complexes on ferrihydrite with limited formation of outer-sphere complexes (<15%). A combination of SEP, FTIR and EXAFS techniques further enables identification of the interfacial reactions between DPAA and solid surfaces of iron (hydr)oxides and the mechanisms involved. Results indicate that DPAA interacted with these iron (hydr)oxides via (1) electrostatic attraction or hydrogen bonding, (2) surface complexation and (3) complexation embedded inside the mineral particles. EXAFS studies further demonstrate that DPAA formed mainly bidentate binuclear corner-sharing (2C) complexes regardless of the iron substrate, with As-Fe distances at 3.19-3.32 Å. Comparison of these results with available data in the literature on inorganic, methyl and phenyl arsenics (As) suggests that it is the phenyl group substitution that finally determines the predominance of 2C complexes. Results from the present study will improve our knowledge of DPAA interaction with solid surfaces and may help in the prediction of the environmental fate and environmental risk management of DPAA in the soil-water system.

Abstract
The phase purity of a series of ZnAl4(OH)12SO4· nH2O layered double hydroxides (ZnAl4-LDH) obtained from a reaction of bayerite (Al(OH)3) with an excess of zinc(II) sulfate under hydrothermal conditions was investigated as a function of the reaction temperature, the duration of the hydrothermal treatment, and the zinc(II) concentration. The product quality, i.e., crystalline impurities, Al impurities, and bulk Zn:Al ratio, were assessed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), 27Al MAS NMR, and elemental analysis. Structural characterization of a stoichiometric ZnAl4-LDH (120 °C, 9 days, and 2.8 M Zn(II)) showed a well-defined structure of the metal ion layer as evidenced by a single, well-defined Zn environment: i.e., no Zn substitution on the Al sites according to Zn k-edge EXAFS and PXRD. Furthermore, nearly all of the 12 different 1H atoms in the -OH groups and 4 27Al resonances could be assigned using 1H,27Al NMR correlation experiments recorded with ultrafast MAS. The interlayer water content is variable on the basis of thermogravimetric analysis and changes in the 1H MAS NMR spectra with temperature. A composition of ZnAl4(OH)12(SO4)·2.6H2O was obtained from a combination of these techniques and confirmed that ZnAl4-LDH is isostructural with the mineral nickelalumite (NiAl4(OH)12SO4·3H2O).

Abstract
Reaction of the mononuclear nonheme complex [FeII(CH3CN)(N3PyS)]BF4 (1) with an HNO donor, Piloty's acid (PhSO2NHOH, P.A.), at low temperature affords a high-spin ( S = 2) FeII-P.A. intermediate (2), characterized by 57Fe Mössbauer and Fe K-edge X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopies, with interpretation of both supported by DFT calculations. The combined methods indicate that P.A. anion binds as the N-deprotonated tautomer (PhSO2NOH-) to [FeII(N3PyS)]+, leading to 2. Complex 2 is the first spectroscopically characterized example, to our knowledge, of P.A. anion bound to a redox-active metal center. Warming of 2 above -60 °C yields the stable {FeNO}7 complex [Fe(NO)(N3PyS)]BF4 (4), as evidenced by 1H NMR, ATR-IR, and Mössbauer spectroscopies. Isotope labeling experiments with 15N-labeled P.A. confirm that the nitrosyl ligand in 4 derives from P.A. In contrast, addition of a second equivalent of a strong base leads to S-N cleavage and production of an {FeNO}8 species, the deprotonated analog of an Fe-HNO complex. This work has implications for the targeted delivery of HNO/NO-/NO· to nonheme Fe centers in biological and synthetic applications, and suggests a new role for nonheme FeII complexes in the assisted degradation of HNO donor molecules.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a Co(II) dithiolato complex Co(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (1) are reported. Reaction of 1 with O2 generates a rare thiolate-ligated cobalt-superoxo species Co(O2)(Me3TACN)(S2SiMe2) (2) that was characterized spectroscopically and structurally by resonance Raman, EPR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies as well as density functional theory. Metal-superoxo species are proposed to S-oxygenate metal-bound thiolate donors in nonheme thiol dioxygenases, but 2 does not lead to S-oxygenation of the intramolecular thiolate donors and does not react with exogenous sulfur donors. However, complex 2 is capable of oxidizing the O-H bonds of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-ol derivatives via H atom abstraction. Complementary proton-coupled electron-transfer reactivity is seen for 2 with separated proton/reductant pairs. The reactivity studies indicate that 2 can abstract H atoms from weak X-H bonds with bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) ≤ 70 kcal mol-1. DFT calculations predict that the putative Co(OOH) product has an O-H BDFE = 67 kcal mol-1, which matches the observed pattern of reactivity seen for 2. These data provide new information regarding the selectivity of S-oxygenation versus H atom abstraction in thiolate-ligated nonheme metalloenzymes that react with O2.

Abstract
CuA is a binuclear copper site acting as electron entry port in terminal heme-copper oxidases. In the oxidized form, CuA is a mixed valence pair whose electronic structure can be described using a potential energy surface with two minima, σu* and πu, that are variably populated at room temperature. We report that mutations in the first and second coordination spheres of the binuclear metallocofactor can be combined in an additive manner to tune the energy gap and, thus, the relative populations of the two lowest-lying states. A series of designed mutants span σu*/πu energy gaps ranging from 900 to 13 cm-1. The smallest gap corresponds to a variant with an effectively degenerate ground state. All engineered sites preserve the mixed-valence character of this metal center and the electron transfer functionality. An increase of the Cu-Cu distance less than 0.06 Å modifies the σu*/πu energy gap by almost 2 orders of magnitude, with longer distances eliciting a larger population of the πu state. This scenario offers a stark contrast to synthetic systems, as model compounds require a lengthening of 0.5 Å in the Cu-Cu distance to stabilize the πu state. These findings show that the tight control of the protein environment allows drastic perturbations in the electronic structure of CuA sites with minor geometric changes.

[PMID: 29227935 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.12.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2017] [Revised: 12/01/2017] [Accepted: 12/04/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Cerium is the most abundant rare earth element (REE) within the waste product of alumina production (red mud), but its speciation in this complex material is still barely understood. Previous studies showed evidence for a correlation between Ce and the main constituent of red mud, iron oxides, which led us to investigate the most abundant iron oxide in red mud, hematite, as possible carrier phase for Ce. Synthetic hematite can incorporate up to 1.70±0.01wt% Ce, which leads to a systematical increase of all unit cell parameters. Investigations by extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy suggest an incorporation of Ce4+O6 into the hematite structure by a novel atomic arrangement, fundamentally different from the close-range order around Fe3+ in hematite. Samples of red mud were taken in Lauta (Saxony), Germany and analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma mass and optical emission spectrometry, electron microprobe analysis and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy. Red mud samples consist of hematite (Fe2O3) (34-58wt%), sodalite (Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2) (4-30wt%), gibbsite (Al(OH)3) (0-25wt%), goethite (FeOOH) (10-23wt%), böhmite (AlOOH) (0-11wt%), rutile (TiO2) (4-8wt%), cancrinite (Na6Ca2Al6Si6O24(CO3)2) (0-5wt%), nordstrandite (Al(OH)3) (0-5wt%) and quartz (SiO2) (0-4wt%). While the main elemental composition is Fe>Al>Na>Ti>Ca (Si not included), the average concentration of REE is 1109±6mg/kg with an average Ce concentration of 464±3mg/kg. The main carrier of Ce was located in the Fe-rich fine-grained fraction of red mud (0.10wt% Ce2O3), while other potential Ce carriers like monazite, lead oxides, secondary Ce-minerals and particles of potentially anthropogenic origin are of subordinated relevance. Cerium in red mud occurs predominantly as Ce4+, which further excludes Ce3+ minerals as relevant sources.

Abstract
A series of one-dimensional CuFe2O4 (CFO) nano/submicron wires possessing different diameters, crystal phases, and crystal sizes have been successfully generated using a facile template-assisted coprecipitation reaction at room temperature, followed by a short postannealing process. The diameter and crystal structure of the resulting CuFe2O4 (CFO) wires were judiciously tuned by varying the pore size of the template and the postannealing temperature, respectively. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were incorporated to generate CFO-CNT binder-free anodes, and multiple characterization techniques were employed with the goal of delineating the relationships between electrochemical behavior and the properties of both the CFO wires (crystal phase, wire diameter, crystal size) and the electrode architecture (binder-free vs conventionally prepared approaches). The study reveals several notable findings. First, the crystal phase (cubic or tetragonal) did not influence the electrochemical behavior in this CFO system. Second, regarding crystallite size and wire diameter, CFO wires with larger crystallite sizes exhibit improved cycling stability, whereas wires possessing smaller diameters exhibit higher capacities. Finally, the electrochemical behavior is strongly influenced by the electrode architecture, with CFO-CNT binder-free electrodes demonstrating significantly higher capacities and cycling stability compared to conventionally prepared coatings. The mechanism(s) associated with the high capacities under low current density but limited electrochemical reversibility of CFO electrodes under high current density were probed via X-ray absorption spectroscopy mapping with submicron spatial resolution for the first time. Results suggest that the capacity of the binder-free electrodes under high rate is limited by the irreversible formation of Cu0, as well as limited reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+, not Fe0. The results (1) shed fundamental insight into the reversibility of CuFe2O4 materials cycled at high current density and (2) demonstrate that a synergistic effort to control both active material morphology and electrode architecture is an effective strategy for optimizing electrochemical behavior.

Abstract
[NiFe]-hydrogenase, which catalyzes the reversible conversion between hydrogen gas and protons, is a vital component of the metabolism of many pathogens. Maturation of [NiFe]-hydrogenase requires selective nickel insertion that is completed, in part, by the metallochaperones SlyD and HypB. Escherichia coli HypB binds nickel with sub-picomolar affinity, and the formation of the HypB-SlyD complex activates nickel release from the high-affinity site (HAS) of HypB. In this study, the metal selectivity of this process was investigated. Biochemical experiments revealed that the HAS of full length HypB can bind stoichiometric zinc. Moreover, in contrast to the acceleration of metal release observed with nickel-loaded HypB, SlyD blocks the release of zinc from the HypB HAS. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) demonstrated that SlyD does not impact the primary coordination sphere of nickel or zinc bound to the HAS of HypB. Instead, computational modeling and XAS of HypB loaded with nickel or zinc indicated that zinc binds to HypB with a different coordination sphere than nickel. The data suggested that Glu9, which is not a nickel ligand, directly coordinates zinc. These results were confirmed through the characterization of E9A-HypB, which afforded weakened zinc affinity compared to wild-type HypB but similar nickel affinity. This mutant HypB fully supports the production of [NiFe]-hydrogenase in E. coli. Altogether, these results are consistent with the model that the HAS of HypB functions as a nickel site during [NiFe]-hydrogenase enzyme maturation and that the metal selectivity is controlled by activation of metal release by SlyD.

Abstract
The iron oxide magnetite, Fe3O4, is a promising conversion type lithium ion battery anode material due to its high natural abundance, low cost and high theoretical capacity. While the close packing of ions in the inverse spinel structure of Fe3O4 enables high energy density, it also limits the kinetics of lithium ion diffusion in the material. Nanosizing of Fe3O4 to reduce the diffusion path length is an effective strategy for overcoming this issue and results in improved rate capability. However, the impact of nanosizing on the multiple structural transformations that occur during the electrochemical (de)lithiation reaction in Fe3O4 is poorly understood. In this study, the influence of crystallite size on the lithiation-conversion mechanisms in Fe3O4 is investigated using complementary X-ray techniques along with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and continuum level simulations on electrodes of two different Fe3O4 crystallite sizes. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were utilized to track the changes to the crystalline phases during (de)lithiation. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements at multiple points during the (de)lithiation processes provided local electronic and atomic structural information. Tracking the crystalline and nanocrystalline phases during the first (de)lithiation provides experimental evidence that (1) the lithiation mechanism is non-uniform and dependent on crystallite size, where increased Li+ diffusion length in larger crystals results in conversion to Fe0 metal while insertion of Li+ into spinel-Fe3O4 is still occurring, and (2) the disorder and size of the Fe metal domains formed when either material is fully lithiated impacts the homogeneity of the FeO phase formed during the subsequent delithiation.

Abstract
Activation of dioxygen (O2) in enzymatic and biomimetic reactions has been intensively investigated over the past several decades. More recently, O-O bond formation, which is the reverse of the O2-activation reaction, has been the focus of current research. Herein, we report the O2-activation and O-O bond formation reactions by manganese corrole complexes. In the O2-activation reaction, Mn(V)-oxo and Mn(IV)-peroxo intermediates were formed when Mn(III) corroles were exposed to O2 in the presence of base (e.g., OH-) and hydrogen atom (H atom) donor (e.g., THF or cyclic olefins); the O2-activation reaction did not occur in the absence of base and H atom donor. Moreover, formation of the Mn(V)-oxo and Mn(IV)-peroxo species was dependent on the amounts of base present in the reaction solution. The role of the base was proposed to lower the oxidation potential of the Mn(III) corroles, thereby facilitating the binding of O2 and forming a Mn(IV)-superoxo species. The putative Mn(IV)-superoxo species was then converted to the corresponding Mn(IV)-hydroperoxo species by abstracting a H atom from H atom donor, followed by the O-O bond cleavage of the putative Mn(IV)-hydroperoxo species to form a Mn(V)-oxo species. We have also shown that addition of hydroxide ion to the Mn(V)-oxo species afforded the Mn(IV)-peroxo species via O-O bond formation and the resulting Mn(IV)-peroxo species reverted to the Mn(V)-oxo species upon addition of proton, indicating that the O-O bond formation and cleavage reactions between the Mn(V)-oxo and Mn(IV)-peroxo complexes are reversible. The present study reports the first example of using the same manganese complex in both O2-activation and O-O bond formation reactions.

Abstract
The structure of pristine AgFeO2 and phase makeup of Ag0.2FeO1.6 (a one-pot composite comprised of nanocrystalline stoichiometric AgFeO2 and amorphous γ-Fe2O3 phases) was investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. A new stacking-fault model was proposed for AgFeO2 powder synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The lithiation/de-lithiation mechanisms of silver ferrite, AgFeO2 and Ag0.2FeO1.6 were investigated using ex situ, in situ, and operando characterization techniques. An amorphous γ-Fe2O3 component in the Ag0.2FeO1.6 sample is quantified. Operando XRD of electrochemically reduced AgFeO2 and Ag0.2FeO1.6 composites demonstrated differences in the structural evolution of the nanocrystalline AgFeO2 component. As complimentary techniques to XRD, ex situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) provided insight into the short-range structure of the (de)lithiated nanocrystalline electrodes, and a novel in situ high energy X-ray fluorescence nanoprobe (HXN) mapping measurement was applied to spatially resolve the progression of discharge. Based on the results, a redox mechanism is proposed where the full reduction of Ag+ to Ag0 and partial reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ occur on reduction to 1.0 V, resulting in a Li1+yFeIIIFeIIyO2 phase. The Li1+yFeIIIFeIIyO2 phase can then reversibly cycle between Fe3+ and Fe2+ oxidation states, permitting good capacity retention over 50 cycles. In the Ag0.2FeO1.6 composite, a substantial amorphous γ-Fe2O3 component is observed which discharges to rock salt LiFe2O3 and Fe0 metal phase in the 3.5-1.0 V voltage range (in parallel with the AgFeO2 mechanism), and reversibly reoxidizes to a nanocrystalline iron oxide phase.

Abstract
Arsenite oxidase is thought to be an ancient enzyme, originating before the divergence of the Archaea and the Bacteria. We have investigated the nature of the molybdenum active site of the arsenite oxidase from the Alphaproteobacterium Rhizobium sp. str. NT-26 using a combination of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and computational chemistry. Our analysis indicates an oxidized Mo(VI) active site with a structure that is far from equilibrium. We propose that this is an entatic state imposed by the protein on the active site through relative orientation of the two molybdopterin cofactors, in a variant of the Rây-Dutt twist of classical coordination chemistry, which we call the pterin twist hypothesis. We discuss the implications of this hypothesis for other putatively ancient molybdopterin-based enzymes.

Abstract
Materials science and device studies have, when implemented jointly as "operando" studies, better revealed the causal link between the properties of the device's materials and its operation, with applications ranging from gas sensing to information and energy technologies. Here, as a further step that maximizes this causal link, the paper focuses on the electronic properties of those atoms that drive a device's operation by using it to read out the materials property. It is demonstrated how this method can reveal insight into the operation of a macroscale, industrial-grade microelectronic device on the atomic level. A magnetic tunnel junction's (MTJ's) current, which involves charge transport across different atomic species and interfaces, is measured while these atoms absorb soft X-rays with synchrotron-grade brilliance. X-ray absorption is found to affect magnetotransport when the photon energy and linear polarization are tuned to excite FeO bonds parallel to the MTJ's interfaces. This explicit link between the device's spintronic performance and these FeO bonds, although predicted, challenges conventional wisdom on their detrimental spintronic impact. The technique opens interdisciplinary possibilities to directly probe the role of different atomic species on device operation, and shall considerably simplify the materials science iterations within device research.

Abstract
This study demonstrates an optimization procedure for the development of an Hg-specified adsorbent able to comply with the regulation limit for drinking water of 1μg/L. On this purpose, the synthesis of Mn(IV)-feroxyhyte was modified to achieve high negative charge density by combining alkaline and extreme oxidizing conditions. In particular, precipitation of FeSO4 at pH9 and excess of KMnO4 follows a very fast nucleation step providing a product with very small nanocrystal size (1-2nm), high specific surface area (300m2/g) and maximum negative charge density (1.8mmol H+/g). The adsorbent was validated for Hg removal in batch experiments and column tests using natural-like water indicating an adsorption capacity as high as 2.5μg/mg at equilibrium concentration 1μg/L under reliable conditions of application. Importantly, the adsorption is an exothermic spontaneous process, resulting in the formation of inner sphere complexes by sharing both A-type and B-type oxygen atoms with the metal surface octahedral as revealed by the X-ray absorption fine structure results.

Abstract
X-ray magnetic circular dichroism is measured at the Fe K pre-edge in yttrium iron garnet using two different procedures that allow reducing the intrinsic broadening due to the 1s corehole lifetime. First, deconvolution of XMCD data measured in total fluorescence yield (TFY) with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio enables a factor of 2.4 to be gained in the XMCD intensity. Ligand field multiplet calculations performed with different values of intrinsic broadening show that deconvolving such high quality XMCD data is similar to reducing the lifetime broadening from a 1s corehole to a 2p corehole. Second, MCD is measured by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectroscopy as a function of incident energy and emission energy. Selection of a fixed emission energy, instead of using the TFY, allows enhancing the MCD intensity up to a factor of ∼4.7. However, this significantly changes the spectral shape of the XMCD signal, which cannot be interpreted any more as an absorption spectrum.

Abstract
Technetium (99Tc) is a problematic fission product for the long-term disposal of nuclear waste due to its long half-life, high fission yield, and to the environmental mobility of pertechnetate, the stable species in aerobic environments. One approach to preventing 99Tc contamination is using sufficiently durable waste forms. We report the incorporation of technetium into a family of synthetic spinel ferrites that have environmentally durable natural analogs. A combination of X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and chemical analysis reveals that Tc(IV) replaces Fe(III) in octahedral sites and illustrates how the resulting charge mismatch is balanced. When a large excess of divalent metal ions is present, the charge is predominantly balanced by substitution of Fe(III) by M(II). When a large excess of divalent metal ions is absent, the charge is largely balanced by creation of vacancies among the Fe(III) sites (maghemitization). In most samples, Tc is present in Tc-rich regions rather than being homogeneously distributed.

Abstract
This study investigates the mechanisms of Cr(VI) adsorption on natural clay (illite and kaolinite) and synthetic (birnessite and ferrihydrite) minerals, including its speciation changes, and combining quantitative thermodynamically based mechanistic surface complexation models (SCMs) with spectroscopic measurements. Series of adsorption experiments have been performed at different pH values (3-10), ionic strengths (0.001-0.1M KNO3), sorbate concentrations (10(-4), 10(-5), and 10(-6)M Cr(VI)), and sorbate/sorbent ratios (50-500). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy were used to determine the surface complexes, including surface reactions. Adsorption of Cr(VI) is strongly ionic strength dependent. For ferrihydrite at pH <7, a simple diffuse-layer model provides a reasonable prediction of adsorption. For birnessite, bidentate inner-sphere complexes of chromate and dichromate resulted in a better diffuse-layer model fit. For kaolinite, outer-sphere complexation prevails mainly at lower Cr(VI) loadings. Dissolution of solid phases needs to be considered for better SCMs fits. The coupled SCM and spectroscopic approach is thus useful for investigating individual minerals responsible for Cr(VI) retention in soils, and improving the handling and remediation processes.

Abstract
A mononuclear non-heme manganese(V)-oxo complex, [Mn(V)(O)(TAML)](-) (1), was synthesized by activating dioxygen in the presence of olefins with weak allylic C-H bonds and characterized structurally and spectroscopically. In mechanistic studies, the formation rate of 1 was found to depend on the allylic C-H bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of olefins, and a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) value of 16 was obtained in the reactions of cyclohexene and cyclohexene-d10. These results suggest that a hydrogen atom abstraction from the allylic C-H bonds of olefins by a putative Mn(IV)-superoxo species, which is formed by binding O2 by a high-spin (S = 2) [Mn(III)(TAML)](-) complex, is the rate-determining step. A Mn(V)-oxo complex binding Sc(3+) ion, [Mn(V)(O)(TAML)](-)-(Sc(3+)) (2), was also synthesized in the reaction of 1 with Sc(3+) ion and then characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. The binding site of the Sc(3+) ion was proposed to be the TAML ligand, not the Mn-O moiety, probably due to the low basicity of the oxo group compared to the basicity of the amide carbonyl group in the TAML ligand. Reactivity studies of the Mn(V)-oxo intermediates, 1 and 2, in oxygen atom transfer and electron-transfer reactions revealed that the binding of Sc(3+) ion at the TAML ligand of Mn(V)-oxo enhanced its oxidizing power with a positively shifted one-electron reduction potential (ΔEred = 0.70 V). This study reports the first example of tuning the second coordination sphere of high-valent metal-oxo species by binding a redox-inactive metal ion at the supporting ligand site, thereby modulating their electron-transfer properties as well as their reactivities in oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Aggregation of nanosized materials in composite lithium-ion-battery electrodes can be a significant factor influencing electrochemical behavior. In this study, aggregation was controlled in magnetite, Fe3O4, composite electrodes via oleic acid capping and subsequent dispersion in a carbon black matrix. A heat treatment process was effective in the removal of the oleic acid capping agent while preserving a high degree of Fe3O4 dispersion. Electrochemical testing showed that Fe3O4 dispersion is initially beneficial in delivering a higher functional capacity, in agreement with continuum model simulations. However, increased capacity fade upon extended cycling was observed for the dispersed Fe3O4 composites relative to the aggregated Fe3O4 composites. X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements of electrodes post cycling indicated that the dispersed Fe3O4 electrodes are more oxidized in the discharged state, consistent with reduced reversibility compared with the aggregated sample. Higher charge-transfer resistance for the dispersed sample after cycling suggests increased surface-film formation on the dispersed, high-surface-area nanocrystalline Fe3O4 compared to the aggregated materials. This study provides insight into the specific effects of aggregation on electrochemistry through a multiscale view of mechanisms for magnetite composite electrodes.

Abstract
Iron sulfates represent an essential sink for the toxic element arsenic in arid and semi-arid mining areas with high evaporation rates. Information about the structural incorporation of As(5+) in iron sulfates, however, remains scarce. Here we present evidence for the heterogeneous substitution of S(6+) by As(5+) in the crystal structure of rhomboclase ((H5O2)Fe(3+)(SO4)2 · 2H2O) and its dehydration product (H3O)Fe(SO4)2. Rhomboclase (Rhc) was synthesized in the presence of As(5+) with molar As/Fe ratios of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0, resulting in As loads of 0.0, 0.93, 1.44, 1.69 and 1.87 wt.%, respectively. The unit cell parameters of Rhc increase from 9.729(6), 18.303(2), and 5.432(1) Å for a, b, and c, to 9.745(9), 18.332(5), and 5.436(8) Å when Rhc is crystallized at a molar As/Fe ratio of 1. Simultaneously, the crystallite size decreased from 304 to 176 nm. In situ dehydration of Rhc to (H3O)Fe(SO4)2, investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, shows that Rhc starts to dehydrate at 76 °C, which is completed at 86 °C. The presence of As(5+) does not impact the start or end temperatures of Rhc dehydration but does accelerate the dehydration. X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EXAFS) reveals that S(6+), in the Rhc and (H3O)Fe(SO4)2 structure, is replaced by As(5+), while the polymerization of AsO4-tetrahedra and FeO6-octahedra during the formation of (H3O)Fe(SO4)2 results in a strong distortion of the AsO4-tetrahedron.
