Abstract
NMR technique serves as a powerful analytical tool with diverse applications in fields such as chemistry, biology, and material science. However, the effectiveness of NMR heavily relies on data post-processing which is often modeled as regularized inverse problem. Recently, we proposed the Generally Regularized INversion (GRIN) algorithm and demonstrated its effectiveness in NMR data processing. GRIN has been integrated as a friendly graphic user interface-based toolbox which was not detailed in the original paper. In this paper, to make GRIN more practically accessible to NMR practitioners, we focus on introducing the usage of GRIN-Toolbox with processing examples and the corresponding processing graphic interfaces, and the user manual is attached as Supplementary Material. GRIN-Toolbox is versatile and lightweight, where various kinds of data processing tasks can be completed with one click, including but not limited to diffusion-ordered spectroscopy processing, magnetic resonance imaging under-sampling reconstruction, Laplace (diffusion or relaxation) NMR inversion, spectrum denoising, etc. In addition, GRIN-Toolbox could be extended to more applications with user-designed inversion models and freely available at https://github.com/EricLin1993/GRIN.

Abstract
Four homodinuclear rare earth metal (RE) complexes 1-4 bearing a multidentate diglycolamine-bridged bis(phenolate) ligand were synthesized. In addition, seven heterobimetallic RE-Zn complexes 5-11 were prepared through a one-pot strategy. In these heterobimetallic complexes, two RE centers are bridged by either Zn(OAc)2 or Zn(OBn)2 moieties. All complexes were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy (in the case of diamagnetic complexes 1, 4, 7 and 11). Moreover, the multi-nuclear structures of complexes 4 and 11 in solution were also studied by 1H DOSY spectroscopy. These complexes were applied in catalyzing the coupling reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with epoxides. Zn(OAc)2- and Zn(OBn)2-bridged heterobimetallic complexes showed comparable catalytic activities under ambient conditions and were more active than monometallic RE complexes. Significant synergistic effect in heterobimetallic complexes is observed. Mono-substituted epoxides were converted into cyclic carbonates under 1 atm CO2 at 25 °C in 88-96% yields, whereas di-substituted epoxides reacted under 1 atm CO2 at higher temperatures in 40-80% yields.

Abstract
31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra can be biased due to the hydrolysis of labile P species during sample treatment and NMR analysis. This paper offers an approach to circumvent this problem by performing sample preparation and analysis in 18O-enriched medium. Heavy 18O isotope atoms were introduced into the resulting artificial hydrolysis products. The NMR signal of 18O-labeled P was shifted upfield relative to the unlabeled P nuclei in natural metabolites. This isotope shift enabled an immediate differentiation of artificial hydrolysis products from natural metabolites. Moreover, the hydrolysis products could be accurately quantified. Our data suggest that the extent to which artificial hydrolysis alters NMR spectra varies among different types of environmental samples. For instance, 72-84% of the detected monoesters in the organic soils of this study were actually artificially hydrolyzed diesters. By contrast, artificial hydrolysis products in the mineral soils used for this study accounted for less than 6% of the total monoesters. Polyphosphate was also hydrolyzed to yield 18O-labeled products in algal biomass.

Abstract
Measuring accurate molecular self-diffusion coefficients, D, by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques has become routine as hardware, software and experimental methodologies have all improved. However, the quantitative interpretation of such data remains difficult, particularly for small molecules. This review article first provides a description of, and explanation for, the failure of the Stokes-Einstein equation to accurately predict small molecule diffusion coefficients, before moving on to three broadly complementary methods for their quantitative interpretation. Two are based on power laws, but differ in the nature of the reference molecules used. The third addresses the uncertainties in the Stokes-Einstein equation directly. For all three methods, a wide range of examples are used to show the range of chemistry to which diffusion NMR can be applied, and how best to implement the different methods to obtain quantitative information from the chemical systems studied.

Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life on Earth, with an important and oftentimes unaccounted organic biogeochemical component. Current methods for the quantification of different organic P compounds in environmental samples (e.g., soils, sediments) are based on extraction techniques and often associated with incomplete P recovery or sample changes. In this study, we present a protocol for the quantification of different organic and inorganic P species in soils using synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the P L2,3-edge. Its accuracy and precision was evaluated by analyzing 40 standard mixtures composed of seven different inorganic and organic P compounds (with a mean of R2 = 0.85). In addition, we quantified the P species of two soils and two agro-industrial byproducts using P L2,3-edge XANES spectroscopy and the results were compared with those obtained by P K-edge XANES or 31P NMR spectroscopy. Using the P L2,3-edge, we identified different organic P species, including those not identified by the common P K-edge XANES. However, there is a consistent underestimation of organic polyphosphates. Overall, the application of P L2,3-edge XANES provides a higher level of information than by P K-edge XANES, although the ubiquitous use of this novel methodology is still limited to samples with a phosphorus content above 3 mg g-1.
