Abstract
A novel Mg-based bimetal reagent (Mg/Cu) was used as an enhanced reductive system to degrade insensitive munition 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN), a contaminant found in energetic-laden waste. Degradation of DNAN was significantly impacted by dissolved oxygen and studied in anoxic and oxic bimetal systems (i.e., purging with N2, air, or O2 gas). Degradation occurred through sequential nitroreduction: first one nitro group was reduced (ortho or para) to form short-lived intermediates 2-amino-4-nitroanisole or 4-amino-2-nitroanisole (2-ANAN or 4-ANAN), and then subsequent reduction of the other nitro group formed 2,4-diaminoanisole (DAAN). The nitro-amino intermediates demonstrated regioselective reduction in the ortho position to 2-ANAN; Regioselectivity was also impacted by the anoxic/oxic environment. Under O2-purging DNAN degradation rate was slightly enhanced, but most notably O2 significantly accelerated DAAN generation. DAAN also further degraded only in the oxygenated Mg/Cu system. Adsorption of DNAN byproducts to the reagent occurred regardless of anoxic/oxic condition, resulting in a partition of carbon mass between the adsorbed phase (27%-35%) and dissolved phase (59%-72%). Additional surface techniques were applied to investigate contaminant interaction with Cu. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations identified preferential adsorption structures for DNAN on Cu with binding through two O atoms of one or both nitro groups. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements determined the oxidation state of catalytic metal Cu and formation of a Cu-O-N bond during treatment. Laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) measurements also identified intermediate 2-ANAN adsorbed to the bimetal surface.

Abstract
The O-H stretching vibration of surface hydroxyls remained at 3691 cm-1 for gold structures ranging in size from clusters to nanoparticles, to non-flat bulk surfaces. In contrast, this vibration was not observed on flat gold surfaces. Therefore, this vibration can serve as an indicator of the roughness of the gold surface and associated functional properties, such as catalytic activity.

Abstract
Interactions between oxygen and silver are important in many areas of science and technology, including materials science, medical, biomedical and environmental applications, spectroscopy, photonics, and physics. In the chemical industry, identification of oxygen structures on Ag catalysts is important in the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies that utilize gas-phase oxygen as the oxidizing reagent without generating byproducts. Gas-phase oxygen adsorbs on Ag atomically by breaking the O-O bond and molecularly by preserving the O-O bond. Atomic O structures have Ag-O vibrations at 240-500 cm-1. Molecular O2 structures have O-O vibrations at significantly higher values of 870-1150 cm-1. In this work, we identify hybrid atomic-molecular oxygen structures, which form when one adsorbed O atom reacts with one lattice O atom on the surface or in the subsurface of Ag. Thus, these hybrid structures require dissociation of adsorbed molecular oxygen into O atoms but still possess the O-O bond. The hybrid structures have O-O vibrations at 600-810 cm-1, intermediate between the Ag-O vibrations of atomic oxygen and the O-O vibrations of molecular oxygen. The hybrid O-O structures do not form by a recombination of two adsorbed O atoms because one of the O atoms in the hybrid structure must be embedded into the Ag lattice. The hybrid oxygen structures are metastable and, therefore, serve as active species in selective oxidation reactions on Ag catalysts.

Abstract
![]()
In late 2019, hundreds
of users of electronic products that aerosolize
a liquid for inhalation were hospitalized with a variety of respiratory
and gastrointestinal symptoms. While some investigations have attributed
the disease to the presence of vitamin E acetate in liquids that also
contained tetrahydrocannabinol, some evidence suggests that chronic
inhalation of two common solvents used in electronic nicotine delivery
systems (ENDS), propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG),
can interfere with the lipid components of pulmonary surfactant and
cause or exacerbate pulmonary injury. The interaction between PG,
VG, and lung surfactant is not yet understood. This study presents
an examination of the molecular interactions of PG and VG with lung
surfactant mimicked by 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
(DPPC). The interaction of DPPC and PG-VG is studied by attenuated
total reflectance fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results
showed that PG and VG altered the molecular alignment of the DPPC
surfactant. The orientation of the surfactant at the surface of the
lung affects the surface tension at the air–water interface,
thereby influencing breathing. These findings suggest that chronic
aerosolization of the primary solvents in ENDS might alter the function
of pulmonary surfactant.
