Abstract
This review reports the recent progress on ATR-far ultraviolet (FUV) spectroscopy in the condensed phase. ATR-FUV spectroscopy for liquids and solids enables one to explore various topics in physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, nanoscience and technology, materials science, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. In this review, we put particular emphasis on the three major topics: (1) studies on electronic transitions and structures of various molecules, which one cannot investigate via ordinary UV spectroscopy. The combined use of ATR-FUV spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations allows for the investigation of various electronic transitions, including σ, n-Rydberg transitions. ATR-FUV spectroscopy may open a new avenue for σ-chemistry. (2) ATR-FUV spectroscopy enables one to measure the first electronic transition of water at approximately 160 nm without peak saturation. Using this band, one can study the electronic structure of water, aqueous solutions, and adsorbed water. (3) ATR-FUV spectroscopy has its own advantages of the ATR method as a surface analysis method. ATR-FUV spectroscopy is a powerful technique for exploring a variety of top surface phenomena (∼50 nm) in adsorbed water, polymers, graphene, organic materials, ionic liquids, and so on. This review briefly describes the principles, characteristics, and instrumentation of ATR-FUV spectroscopy. Next, a detailed description about quantum chemical calculation methods for FUV and UV regions is given. The recent application of ATR-FUV-UV spectroscopy studies on electronic transitions from σ orbitals in various saturated molecules is introduced first, followed by a discussion on the applications of ATR-FUV spectroscopy to studies on water, aqueous solutions, and adsorbed water. Applications of ATR-FUV spectroscopy in the analysis of other materials such as polymers, ionic liquids, inorganic semiconductors, graphene, and carbon nanocomposites are elucidated. In addition, ATR-FUV-UV-vis spectroscopy focusing on electrochemical interfaces is outlined. Finally, FUV-UV-surface plasmon resonance studies are discussed.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is one of the most killing cancers and this has become a global problem. Current treatment and anticancer drugs cannot specifically target the cancerous cells, thus causing toxicity towards surrounding non-cancer cells. Hence, there is an urgent need to discover a more target-specific therapeutic agent to overcome this problem. Core-shell nanoparticles have emerged as good candidate for anticancer treatment. This study aimed to synthesize core-shell nanoparticles via green method which utilised crude peels extract of Garcinia mangostana as reducing and stabilising agents for drug delivery. Gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles (Au-AgNPs) were synthesized through seed germination process in which gold nanoparticles acted as the seed. A complete coating was observed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) when the ratio of AuNPs and AgNPs was 1:9. The size of Au-AgNPs was 38.22 ± 8.41 nm and was mostly spherical in shape. Plant-based drug, protocatechuic acid (PCA) was loaded on the Au-AgNPs to investigate their anticancer activity. In HCT116 colon cancer cells, PCA-loaded Au-AgNPs (IC50 = 10.78 μg/ml) showed higher inhibitory action than the free PCA (IC50= 148.09 μg/ml) and Au-AgNPs alone (IC50= 24.36 μg/ml). Up to 80% inhibition of HCT116 cells was observed after the treatment of PCA-loaded Au-AgNPs at 15.63 μg/ml. The PCA-loaded Au-AgNPs also showed a better selectivity towards HCT116 compared to CCD112 colon normal cells when tested at the same concentrations. These findings suggest that Au-AgNPs system can be used as a potent nanocarrier to combat cancerous cells by offering additional anticancer properties to the loaded drug.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to demonstrate advances, challenges and perspectives of quantum chemical approaches in molecular spectroscopy of the condensed phase. Molecular spectroscopy, particularly vibrational spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy, has been used extensively for a wide range of areas of chemical sciences and materials science as well as nano- and biosciences because it provides valuable information about structure, functions, and reactions of molecules. In the meantime, quantum chemical approaches play crucial roles in the spectral analysis. They also yield important knowledge about molecular and electronic structures as well as electronic transitions. The combination of spectroscopic approaches and quantum chemical calculations is a powerful tool for science, in general. Thus, our article, which treats various spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, should have strong implications in the wider scientific community. This review covers a wide area of molecular spectroscopy from far-ultraviolet (FUV, 120-200 nm) to far-infrared (FIR, 400-10 cm-1)/terahertz and Raman spectroscopy. As quantum chemical approaches, we introduce several anharmonic approaches such as vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) and the combination of periodic harmonic calculations with anharmonic corrections based on finite models, grid-based techniques like the Numerov approach, the Cartesian coordinate tensor transfer (CCT) method, Symmetry-Adapted Cluster Configuration-Interaction (SAC-CI), and the ZINDO (Semi-empirical calculations at Zerner's Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap). One can use anharmonic approaches and grid-based approaches for both infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, while CCT methods are employed for Raman, Raman optical activity (ROA), FIR/terahertz and low-frequency Raman spectroscopy. Therefore, this review overviews cross relations between molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, and provides various kinds of close-reality advanced spectral simulation for condensed phases.

Abstract
A vibrating nozzle approach was used to produce uniform (∼2 μm) hybrid droplets containing gold-graphene oxide (Au-GO), doxorubicin (DOX), and zwitterionic chitosan (ZC) for assembly of Au-GO@ZC-DOX stealth nanovesicles (NVs) via a single-pass diffusion drying process without any hydrothermal reactions, separations, or purifications. NVs were prepared with a lateral dimension of ∼53.0 nm, a pH-triggered high DOX release profile, and strong photothermal effects. Macrophage opsonization was prevented, resulting in anti-cancer and anti-migration effects, with high intracellular uptake in PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells. PANC-1 tumor uptake was greater for NVs having the ZC configuration than that for NVs without the ZC configuration, resulting in better anti-tumor effects with minimal toxicities. The vibrating nozzle approach offers significant potential to assemble multi-componential NVs for more efficient anti-tumor treatment and easy user-defined manufacturing of multifunctional nanomedicines.

Abstract
The comparison between two kinds of single-layer reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets, obtained by reduction of graphene oxide (GO) with the electrochemical method and hydrazine vapor reduction, referred to as E-rGO and C-rGO, respectively, is systematically studied. Although there is no morphology difference between the E-rGO and C-rGO films adsorbed on solid substrates observed by AFM, the reduction process to obtain the E-rGO and C-rGO films is quite different. In the hydrazine vapor reduction, the nitrogen element is incorporated into the obtained C-rGO film, while no additional element is introduced to the E-rGO film during the electrochemical reduction. Moreover, Raman spectra show that the electrochemical method is more effective than the hydrazine vapor reduction method to reduce the GO films. In addition, E-rGO shows better electrocatalysis towards dopamine than does C-rGO. This study is helpful for researchers to understand these two different reduction methods and choose a suitable one to reduce GO based on their experimental requirements.
