Abstract
In this work, Cu-vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) bonded to 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine produced a bioconjugated dendrimer giving rise to the visible-light photocatalytic activity of nanocrystalline TiO2. XPS spectra uncovered the coexistence of Cu(II)/Cu(I) oxidation states with a predominant contribution of Cu(I). The new heterogeneous bio-relevant Cu-photocatalyst (Cu(I) Cu(II) [PTAPA G2-B5] @TiO2) revealed a band gap value [Eg = (2.8 eV)] less than those of Cu free components [PTAPA G1-B5]@TiO2 (3.04) and [PTAPA G2-B5]@TiO2 (3.06) and particularly the bare TiO2 (3.15 eV). The reactions showed to be light-dependent with the best performance under room light bulbs. The photocatalytic efficiency of the as-prepared heterojunction photocatalyst was exploited in the aerobic Csp2-Csp2 homocoupling of phenylboronic acid and Csp-Csp homocoupling of phenyl acetylenes under visible-light irradiation to prepare structurally and electronically different biaryls. A radical pathway relying on the photogenerated e- and h+ and involving the Cu(I)-Cu(II) synergistic cooperation was postulated. The reusability and stability of the catalyst were verified by the recycling test, FT-IR spectra, and ICP-OES analysis.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the interaction between corn grain processing and protein source on feed intake, growth performance, rumen fermentation, and blood metabolites of dairy calves. Seventy-two 3-day-old Holstein calves with an initial weight of 39.1 ± 3.24 kg were randomly assigned (n = 12 calves (6 male and 6 female) per treatment) to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments with the factors of physical form of the corn grain [coarsely ground (CG) and steam-flaked (SF)] and protein type [canola meal (CAN), canola meal + soybean meal (CASY), and soybean meal (SOY)] were assigned. The study showed a significant correlation between corn grain processing method and protein source on calf performance, including starter feed intake, total dry matter intake (DMI), body weight, average daily gain (ADG), and feed efficiency (FE). The CG-CAN and SF-SOY treatments resulted in the highest feed intake and DMI in the post-weaning and total period, respectively. Interestingly, corn processing did not affect feed intake, ADG, and FE, but the highest ADG was observed at SF-SOY and CG-CAN. In addition, the interaction between corn processing method and protein source improved FE in calves fed CG-CAN and SF-SOY during the preweaning period and throughout the period. Although skeletal growth parameters were unchanged, calves fed SOY and CASY had greater body length and withers height than calves fed CAN during the preweaning period. Rumen fermentation parameters were also not affected by the treatments, except that calves fed CAN had a higher molar proportion of acetate than calves fed SOY and CASY. Corn grain processing and protein source did not affect glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), or β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations, except for the highest blood glucose level observed in the CAN treatment and the highest BUN level observed in the preweaned calves fed SOY. However, a two-way interaction was observed for BHB concentration, suggesting that ground corn grain resulted in higher BHB concentration during the preweaning and postweaning periods than steam-flaked corn. In summary, it is recommended to incorporate canola meal with ground corn or soybean meal with steam-flaked corn in calf starters to enhance calf growth.

Abstract
In this work, the construction of two heterojunction photocatalysts by coordinative anchoring of M(salophen)Cl complexes (M = Fe(III) and Mn(III)) to rutile TiO2 through a silica-aminopyridine linker (SAPy) promotes the visible-light-assisted photodegradation of organic dyes. The degradation efficiency of both cationic rhodamine B (RhB) and anionic methyl orange (MO) dyes by Fe- and Mn-TiO2-based catalysts in the presence of H2O2 under sunlight and low-wattage visible bulbs (12-18 W) is investigated. Anionic MO is more degradable than cationic RhB, and the Mn catalyst shows more activity than its Fe counterpart. Action spectra demonstrate the maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) at 400-450 nm, confirming the visible-light-driven photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity might be attributed to the improved charge transfer in the heterojunction photocatalysts evidenced by photoluminescence (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses. A radical pathway for the photodegradation of dyes is postulated based on scavenging experiments and spectral data. This work provides new opportunities for constructing highly efficient catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, the effect of Keggin polyoxometalates encapsulated in Keplerate {Mo72Fe30} shell (K shell) on the visible light-assisted catalase-like activity (H2O2 dismutation) of the resulting core-shell clusters PMo12@K, SiMo12@K, and BW12@K was investigated. Superior photodismutation activity of PMo12@K compared to that of K shell and two other core-shell clusters was discovered. The homogeneity of PMo12@K and its improved oxidative stability, increased redox potential, and reduced band gap caused by a synergistic effect between the Keplerate shell and Keggin core seem reasonable to explain such a superiority. The light-dependent photocatalytic performance of PMo12@K evaluated by action spectra revealed a maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) at 400 nm, demonstrating the visible light-driven photocatalytic reaction. A first-order rate constant of 2 × 10-4 s-1 and activation energy of 108.8 kJ mol-1 alongside a turnover frequency of 0.036 s-1 and a total turnover number of up to ∼3800 approved the effective photocatalytic activity and improved the oxidative stability of PMo12@K. A nonradical photocatalytic mechanism through a Fe-OOH intermediate was proposed. Thus, the structure, optical activity, and oxidative stability of a host Keplerate-type nanocluster can be tuned significantly by encapsulation of a guest, like "cluster-in-cluster" structures, which opens the scope for introducing new visible light-sensitive hierarchical nanostructures.

Abstract
In this study, a novel heterogeneous visible light-driven nanocatalyst was produced via the complexation of Co(ii) with g-C3N4-imine-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles. It was characterized using different techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalyst promoted several different transformations in a one-pot reaction sequence: aerobic photooxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and then the tandem synthesis of benzimidazoles through the dehydrogenative coupling of primary benzylic alcohols and aromatic diamines. The photocatalyst proved to be highly active, robust, selective, and recyclable under organic reaction conditions and provided affordable products with good to high yields. The results proposed that the improved photoactivity predominantly benefits from the synergistic effects of the heterojunction of Co-carbon nitride on TiO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, this protocol provides standard conditions avoiding undesirable additives and limitations of oxidation methods, and may help to develop a new strategy for the development of photocatalysis based organic transformations. The Co-g-C3N4-imine/TiO2 nanohybrid promotes different transformations in a one-pot reaction sequence: aerobic photooxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes, and then the tandem synthesis of benzimidazoles.![]()

Abstract
In this work, the photocatalytic efficiency of Cu(ii)–vitamin C complex immobilized on titanium dioxide nanoparticles was exploited in the photo-assisted homocoupling reaction of aryl boronic acids under heterogeneous conditions. The homocoupling reaction affords the corresponding symmetrical biaryls in 50–97% yields at ambient temperature in the air under visible light irradiation without any need for any additive such as base or oxidant. This method tolerates various substituents on the aryl boronic acids such as halogen, carbonyl, and a nitro group. The light-dependent photocatalytic performance of the title catalyst evaluated by action spectra revealed a maximum apparent quantum efficiency (AQYs) at 410 nm demonstrating the visible-light-driven photocatalytic reaction. The as-prepared nano biophotocatalyst proved to be reusable at least six times without losing its activity. Thus this work exhibits a favorable method from the environmental and economic point of view which enables the industrially important reactions such as coupling reactions, to be carried out efficiently under photocatalytic and practically attainable conditions. TiO2–ascorbic acid (AA)–Cu(ii), nanohybrid is active in the selective aerobic oxidative homocoupling of aryl boronic acids under heterogeneous conditions in air and visible light conditions.![]()

Abstract
An unprecedented visible-light-driven photocatalytic system consisting of Pd nanoparticles stabilized on g-C3N4-imine-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles was discovered for photoassisted hydrogen generation followed by olefin hydrogenation under mild conditions. The structural integrity of the as-synthesized photocatalyst was corroborated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller measurements, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Transmission electron microscopy and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy revealed the nanoscopic nature of the catalyst. The photocatalyst promoted several different transformations in a one-pot reaction sequence: hydrogen evolution through photocatalytic acceptorless formation of benzimidazoles as important therapeutic agents followed by visible-light-driven photocatalytic reduction of olefins with a high hydrogen utilization efficiency of up to 92% under mild conditions. A significant volume of H2 was produced under blue light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation during the selective formation of benzimidazole, while the selectivity reduced significantly under a Xe lamp or in the dark. The in situ-generated H2 could be activated by the as-prepared Pd-C3N4-imine/TiO2 photocatalyst to effectively hydrogenate olefins under mild conditions at appropriate time exposed to blue LED irradiation. The light-dependent photocatalytic performance of the title catalyst was assessed using action spectra by calculating the apparent quantum efficiency (AQE), which exhibited the maximum AQEs at 410 and 550 nm, at which the highest performance for styrene hydrogenation was obtained. The improved photoredox activity of the title nanohybrid could be caused by the synergistic effects of the heterojunction of carbon nitride-Pd on TiO2 nanoparticles evidenced by photoluminescence spectra and catalytic reactions. The catalyst proved to be air-stable, robust, recyclable, and very active in the absence of any undesirable additives and reducing agents. Thus, this work presents a new protocol for improving the photocatalytic properties of semiconducting materials for various photocatalytic applications under environmentally friendly conditions.

Abstract
The photocatalytic efficiencies of bimetallic MOFs, namely STA-12-Mn–Fe, for the reductive removal of Cr(vi) were explored. The best effective variable values were obtained and correlation between the response and influential variables was optimized via experimental design methodology. Complete Cr(vi) removal was achieved under natural sunlight and fluorescent 40 W lamp radiation at pH 2, with an initial Cr(vi) concentration of 20 mg L−1, and 10 mg of photocatalyst within 30 min. A pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.132 min−1 at T = 298 K was obtained for the Cr(vi) reduction reaction. The title catalysts revealed high performance in the visible region based on photoefficiency measurements, while improved activity was observed compared to the corresponding single-metal MOFs under natural sunlight, highlighting the synergistic effect between the two metal ions. Trapping experiment results proved that direct electron transfer is the main pathway during the photocatalytic Cr(vi) reduction process. The photocatalytic efficiencies of bimetallic MOFs for the reductive removal of Cr(vi) were explored. The catalysts revealed higher performance compared to the corresponding single-metal MOFs, highlighting the synergistic effect between the two metal ions.![]()

Abstract
The exoskeleton of nearly all insects consists of a flexible core and a stiff shell. The transition between these two is often characterized by a gradual change in the stiffness. However, the functional significance of this stiffness gradient is unknown. Here by combining finite-element analysis and multi-objective optimization, we simulated the mechanical response of about 3000 unique gradients of the elastic modulus to normal contacts. We showed that materials with exponential gradients of the elastic modulus could achieve an optimal balance between the load-bearing capacity and resilience. This is very similar to the elastic modulus gradient observed in insect cuticle and, therefore, suggests cuticle adaptations to applied mechanical stresses; this is likely to facilitate the function of insect cuticle as a protective barrier. Our results further indicate that the relative thickness of compositionally different regions in insect cuticle is similar to the optimal estimation. We expect our findings to inform the design of engineered materials with improved mechanical performance.

Abstract
The incorporation of Cu(OAc)2 into ascorbic acid coated TiO2 nanoparticles easily provided a new heterogeneous visible-light active titania-based photocatalyst (TiO2-AA-Cu(ii)) which was characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, XPS, ICP-AES, TGA and TEM. A red-shift of the band-edge and a reduction of the band-gap (2.8 eV vs. 3.08 for TiO2) were demonstrated by UV-DRS and Tauc plots. The combination of the as-prepared TiO2-AA-Cu(ii) nanoparticles with TEMPO and molecular oxygen (air) afforded an active catalytic system for the selective oxidation of diverse set of benzylic alcohols under solvent-free conditions. A photoassisted pathway was confirmed for oxidation reactions evidenced by good correlation between apparent quantum yield (AQY) and diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) of the as-prepared nanohybrid. The spectral data and recycling experiments demonstrated the structural stability of the title copper photocatalyst during oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Nature has evolved structures with high load-carrying capacity and long-term durability. The principles underlying the functionality of such structures, if studied systematically, can inspire the design of more efficient engineering systems. An important step in this process is to characterize the material properties of the structure under investigation. However, direct mechanical measurements on small complex-shaped biological samples involve numerous technical challenges. To overcome these challenges, we developed a method for estimation of the elastic modulus of insect cuticle, the second most abundant biological composite in nature, through simple light microscopy. In brief, we established a quantitative link between the autofluorescence of different constituent materials of insect cuticle, and the resulting mechanical properties. This approach was verified using data on cuticular structures of three different insect species. The method presented in this study allows three-dimensional visualisation of the elastic modulus, which is impossible with any other available technique. This is especially important for precise finite-element modelling of cuticle, which is known to have spatially graded properties. Considering the simplicity, ease of implementation and high-resolution of the results, our method is a crucial step towards a better understanding of material-function relationships in insect cuticle, and can potentially be adapted for other graded biological materials.

Abstract
In this study, a new heterobimetallic Mo(VI)-V(V) organosilicon Schiff base complex has been prepared and characterized by different techniques, such as FTIR, Raman, MS, ICP-AES, TGA, and XPS. The bimetallic nanocomplex, revealed by TEM images, showed high oxidation stability and desired activity in the aerobic oxidation of a structurally diverse set of benzylic alcohols in ethanol as a safe solvent. Further, oxidation of benzylic hydrocarbons successfully occurred, producing the target compounds in high yields and excellent selectivities. Our results demonstrated a cooperative effect between Mo(VI) and V(V) as redox active sites in an organosilicon Schiff base framework. A facile and practical reusability of the solid catalyst at the end of the reaction was observed.

Abstract
In this study, the catalytic efficiency of amorphous {Mo72Fe30} nanocapsules as a safe Keplerate polyoxometalate in organic synthesis was exploited. The easy-made solid catalyst exhibited high efficiency using a very low dosage (0.02–0.05 mol%) in the catalyzed condensation of various aromatic 1,2-diamines and aldehydes for the aerobic synthesis of benzimidazoles with very small E-factor values (0.11–0.33). The superior catalytic activity of amorphous nanoclusters compared to that of its crystalline counterpart was demonstrated. The high activity and recyclability of heterogeneous catalysts in a green reaction media under oxygen atmosphere, make this environmentally benign organic process appropriate for our applied goals. Catalytic activity of amorphous {Mo72Fe30} nanoclusters as a safe Keplerate polyoxometalate in aerobic synthesis of benzimidazoles was described.![]()

Abstract
Insect cuticle is a biological composite with a high degree of complexity in terms of both architecture and material composition. Given the complex morphology of many insect body parts, finite-element (FE) models play an important role in the analysis and interpretation of biomechanical measurements, taken by either macroscopic or nanoscopic techniques. Many previous studies show that the interpretation of nanoindentation measurements of this layered composite material is very challenging. To develop accurate FE models, it is of particular interest to understand more about the variations in the stiffness through the thickness of the cuticle. Considering the difficulties of making direct measurements, in this study, we use the FE method to analyse previously published data and address this issue numerically. For this purpose, sets of continuous or discontinuous stiffness profiles through the thickness of the cuticle were mathematically described. The obtained profiles were assigned to models developed based on the cuticle of three insect species with different geometries and layer configurations. The models were then used to simulate the mechanical behaviour of insect cuticles subjected to nanoindentation experiments. Our results show that FE models with discontinuous exponential stiffness gradients along their thickness were able to predict the stress and deformation states in insect cuticle very well. Our results further suggest that, for more accurate measurements and interpretation of nanoindentation test data, the ratio of the indentation depth to cuticle thickness should be limited to 7% rather than the traditional '10% rule'. The results of this study thus might be useful to provide a deeper insight into the biomechanical consequences of the distinct material distribution in insect cuticle and also to form a basis for more realistic modelling of this complex natural composite.

Abstract
The stereo electronic effects as well as hydrogen bonding effects of imidazole, pyridine and 2,6-dimethylpyridine as N-donor axial ligands on the C–H oxidation activity of high-valent manganese(V)–oxo meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and meso-tetrakis(pentaflourophenyl)porphyrin (TPFPP), are investigated by DFT calculations. The electronic and steric properties of axial donors and porphyrin ligands affected on the activation energy of cyclohexane hydroxylation as well as the Mn–O bond strength of the oxo species in transition state. Imidazole with the strong [Formula: see text]-donating ability and the least steric hindrance showed greater co-catalytic activity than those of pyridine and in particularly hindered 2,6-Me2 pyridine in the presence of simple [(TPP)MnO][Formula: see text]. Nevertheless, the C–H bond activation by hindered and electron-deficient perfluorinated catalyst [(TPFPP)MnO][Formula: see text] is in the order of pyridine >2, 6-Me2 pyridine >imidazole. AIM analysis showed hydrogen bonding (HB) between the C–H [Formula: see text] bonds of pyridine (C[Formula: see text]-H of ring) and 2,6-Me2Py (C[Formula: see text]-H of methyl groups) with ortho-C–F bond of phenyl rings of TPFPP in Mn[Formula: see text]O species (C–H…..F–C hydrogen bond) which might be responsible for this unusual behavior. These results are supported by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.

Abstract
The structure and properties of the N[Formula: see text]–Mn–O bonds of high valent manganese-oxo of the second and third generation porphyrins in the presence of imidazole have been studied by means of density functional (DFT) method with 6-31G* basis set in the gas phase as well as water solution. The geometric structures, frontier molecular orbitals, thermodynamic parameters, aromaticity indices and physical properties such as chemical potential and chemical hardness of [(TPP)(ImH)MnO][Formula: see text] and its derivatives were calculated. The obtained results showed that [(TPP)(ImH)MnO][Formula: see text] bearing halogen atoms at the [Formula: see text]-pyrrole positions had a saddle conformation with low Mn–O strength. The electron density ([Formula: see text] and Laplacian ([Formula: see text] properties at critical points of the N[Formula: see text]–Mn–O bonds, estimated by AIM calculations, indicate that Mn–O bonds in third generation porphyrins have lower [Formula: see text] and Mn–N[Formula: see text] distances have higher [Formula: see text] than the second generation ones. The calculations of aromaticity indices for chelated rings at the porphyrin center show that HOMA and NICS in third generation porphyrins are generally lower than that of second ones which is in agreement with their saddle conformation. These results are supported by natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis.

Abstract
The effect of different electronic and structural nitrogen donors (L) on the N ( ax )- Mn - O properties in the high valent manganese-oxo meso-tetraphenylporphyrin intermediate is investigated by the density functional B3LYP method with 6-31g* basis set. The geometric structures, frontier molecular orbitals, thermodynamic parameters and physical properties such as chemical potential and chemical hardness of [( TPP )( L ) MnO ]+ complexes in the gas phase as well as water solution are calculated. Our theoretical results confirm that the Mn - O distances in [( TPP )( L ) MnO ]+ species decrease by replacing imidazoles with pyridines, amins as well as electron-poor and hindered nitrogen donors resulting from extending the Mn – N ( ax ) bonds. These results are supported by vibrational frequencies, atoms in molecules (AIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. It is worth mentioning that the co-catalytic activity trend of different nitrogen donors observed experimentally in the presence of title Mn porphyrin is consistent with the calculated Mn – N ( ax ) and Mn – O bond lengths in this work.
