Biomedical Applications of Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles: A Review
Metal nanoparticles are widely applied in various biomedical applications because of their unique physicochemical properties. The new and unique properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) including, biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and optical properties, make them valuable for applications of biomedical fields including, biosensing, bioimaging, cancer therapy of cancer, and drug delivery. Utilization of AuNPs in radiotherapy and photothermal therapy has created a novel platform for primary diagnosis and cancer therapy. Owing to AuNPs' large surface area, chemical functional groups or biological molecules like drug molecules can be immobilized on gold surface. Thus, the surface functionalization of AuNPs makes them a good carrier for targeted drug delivery. This review focuses on new progress in processes of the functionalization of AuNPs and their possible biomedical applications.

Terminology of metal–organic frameworks and coordination polymers (IUPAC Recommendations 2013)
A set of terms, definitions, and recommendations is provided for use in the
classification of coordination polymers, networks, and metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs). A hierarchical terminology is recommended in which the most general term
is coordination polymer. Coordination networks are a subset of coordination
polymers and MOFs a further subset of coordination networks. One of the criteria
an MOF needs to fulfill is that it contains potential voids, but no physical
measurements of porosity or other properties are demanded per se. The use of
topology and topology descriptors to enhance the description of crystal
structures of MOFs and 3D-coordination polymers is furthermore strongly
recommended.

Molecules that amaze us
\"The world is composed of molecules. Some are synthetic while many others are products of nature. Molecules That Amaze Us presents the stories behind many of the most famous and infamous molecules that make up our modern world. Examples include the molecule responsible for the spicy heat in chilies (capsaicin), the world's first synthetic painkiller (aspirin), the pigment responsible for the color of autumn leaves (carotene), the explosive in dynamite (nitroglycerine), the antimalarial drug (quinine), the drug known as \"speed\" (methamphetamine), and many others. Other molecules discussed include caffeine, adrenaline, cholesterol, cocaine, digitalis, dopamine, glucose, insulin, methane, nicotine, oxytocin, penicillin, carbon dioxide, limonene, and testosterone. In all, the book includes 67 sections, each describing a different molecule, what it does, how it is made, and why it is so interesting.Written by experts in the field, the book is accessible and easy to read. It includes amusing anecdotes, historical curiosities, and entertaining facts about each molecule, thereby balancing educational content with entertainment. The book is heavily illustrated with relevant photographs, images, and cartoons--the aim being both to educate and entertain. \"-- Provided by publisher.

The structure-based reaction mechanism of urease, a nickel dependent enzyme: tale of a long debate
This review is an attempt to retrace the chronicle that starts from the discovery of the role of nickel as the essential metal ion in urease for the enzymatic catalysis of urea, a key step in the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen on Earth, to the most recent progress in understanding the chemistry of this historical enzyme. Data and facts are presented through the magnifying lenses of the authors, using their best judgment to filter and elaborate on the many facets of the research carried out on this metalloenzyme over the years. The tale is divided in chapters that discuss and describe the results obtained in the subsequent leaps in the knowledge that led from the discovery of a biological role for Ni to the most recent advancements in the comprehension of the relationship between the structure and function of urease. This review is intended not only to focus on the bioinorganic chemistry of this beautiful metal-based catalysis, but also, and maybe primarily, to evoke inspiration and motivation to further explore the realm of bio-based coordination chemistry.

Bismuth oxyhalides
This reference text covers the recent developments in the synthesis of BiOX and their applications in the production of energy and the purification of wastewater. The book begins with an overview of bismuth as well as bismuth oxyhalides and the fabrication process. It then reviews the state-of-the-art improvements in bismuth oxyhalides including elemental doping, surface modification and many others. Photocatalytic applications of bismuth oxyhalides along with their experimental and theoretical studies are discussed. The book also explores bismuth oxyhalides for wastewater treatment, reduction of carbon dioxide, and nitrogen fixation and finally, the various issues and potential solutions that could help with the development of effective photocatalytic bismuth oxyhalides.
