Abstract
Direct removal of trivalent arsenic, As(III), arsenite, or H3AsO3, is a great challenge in accessing clean sources of water. Different methodologies and materials were applied in this regard, but among them, direct removal of As(III) species using a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based adsorbent shows a great deal of potential. Although some studies were conducted on As(III) removal using MOFs, studies of functional groups are still quite rare. For this purpose, three novel functionalized defective Zr-MOFs, using UiO-66 [Zr6(OH)4O4(BDC)6, where BDC2- = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate], were fabricated to investigate the competitive or cooperative roles of the free -NH2 and/or -SH site in the removal of As(III). UiO-66 was functionalized with monocarboxylate linkers, including glycine (Gly, NH2-CH2-COOH), cysteine [Cys, SH(CH2)-NH2(CH)-COOH], and mercaptopropionic acid [Mer, SH-(CH2)2-COOH]. Gly@UiO-66, Cys@UiO-66, and Mer@UiO-66 were applied for the direct removal of As(III) species. Although Cys@UiO-66 is functionalized with both amine and thiol functional groups, Gly@UiO-66 has a higher adsorption capacity (301.4 mg g-1) with respect to As(III), which is among the best reported values. This is due to the fact that (1) the affinity of amine sites in Gly@UiO-66 for As(III) is higher than that of thiol sites in Mer@UiO-66 and (2) Cys@UiO-66 has a very small surface area compared to that of Gly@UiO-66. Mechanistic studies using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy reveal that not only the functionalization and chemical nature of the function but also other parameters such as the protonation-deprotonation mechanisms and chemical state of the function are other critical factors for designing a functional MOF-based adsorbent with high affinity for and maximum capacity with respect to the target analyte.

Abstract
Functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), especially those based on sulfur and nitrogen atoms, were frequently applied for the removal of Hg(II) ions. However, a systematic study on the cooperative or competitive roles of -SH and -NH2 functions in the presence of secondary mechanisms (proton transfer and redox) is still rare. In this work, the UiO-66 framework (Zr6(OH)4O4(BDC)6, BDC2- = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate) was decorated with functional monocarboxylate linkers including glycine (Gly), mercaptopropionic acid (Mer), and cysteine (Cys). Due to the molecular similarity of these functional linkers, the coordination affinity between the amine and thiol sites with Hg(II) ions can be compared, and the effect of proton transfer and redox mechanisms on the possible thiol···Hg(II) and amine···Hg(II) interactions can be investigated. The results show that the Cys@UiO-66 framework can adsorb 1288 mg g-1 of Hg(II), while Mer@UiO-66 and Gly@UiO-66 can adsorb 593 and 313 mg g-1 at pH = 7 and 500 ppm, respectively. This is due to the facts that both the amine and the thiol functions of the Cys@UiO-66 framework show synergism in Hg(II) removal, and the secondary mechanisms reduce the affinity of thiol in Mer@UiO-66 and amine in Gly@UiO-66 frameworks in the removal process of Hg(II) ions. Free -SH sites in Mer@UiO-66 undergo a redox convert to -SO3H groups, and free protonated -NH2 sites in Gly@UiO-66 do not fully deprotonate during Hg(II) removal. Yet, in the case of Cys@UiO-66, free protonated -NH2 sites are fully deprotonated, and free SH sites did not convert to -SO3H groups during Hg(II) removal. These observations show that the redox and proton transfer mechanisms can negatively affect the adsorption capacity of functional MOFs containing free -SH and -NH2 groups. So, not only the functionalization but also control over secondary mechanisms in the removal process are necessary parameters to improve the affinity between functional MOFs and Hg(II) ions.

Abstract
An electrochemical sensor has been developed based on ion imprinted polymer (IIP) and nanoporous gold (NPG) modified gold electrode (IIP/NPG/GE) for determination of arsenic ion (As3+) in different kinds of water. NPG with high conductivity, large specific surface area, and high biocompatibility was prepared by a green electrodeposition method. Then a layer of IIP was synthesized in situ on NPG surface by electropolymerization, in which As3+ was used as template ion and o-phenylenediamine as functional monomer. We used potassium ferricyanide and potassium ferrocyanide chelates as electrochemical probes to generate signals. The electrochemical behavior of IIP/NPG/GE (vs. Ag/AgCl) was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The linear range for As3+ was 2.0 × 10-11 to 9.0 × 10-9 M, and the lower detection limit was 7.1 × 10-12 M (S/N = 3). This newly developed sensor has good stability and selectivity, and has been successfully applied to the As3+ determination of four kinds of water quality.

Abstract
Phytotoxicity of inorganic contaminants is influenced by the presence of competing ions at the site of uptake. In this study, interaction of soil pore-water constituents with arsenate toxicity was investigated in cucumber (Cucumis sativa L) using 10 contrasting soils. Arsenate phytotoxicity was shown to be related to soluble carbonate and phosphate. The data indicated that dissolved phosphate and carbonate had an antagonistic impact on arsenate toxicity to cucumber. To predict arsenate phytotoxicity in soils with a diverse range of soil solution properties, both carbonate and phosphate were required. The relationship between arsenic and pore-water toxicity parameters was established initially using multiple regression. In addition, based on the relationship with carbonate and phosphate we successively applied a terrestrial biotic ligand-like model (BLM) including carbonate and phosphate. Estimated effective concentrations from the BLM-like parametrization were strongly correlated to measured arsenate values in pore-water (R2 = 0.76, P < 0.001). The data indicates that an ion interaction model similar to the BLM for arsenate is possible, potentially improving current risk assessments at arsenic and co-contaminated soils.
