Abstract
Recent advancements in electron microscopy techniques have revolutionized the ability to directly visualize and understand the intricate world of supramolecular chemistry. This paper provides a concise overview of a study delving into the atomic-scale imaging of monolayer clay mineral nanosheets and their associated supramolecular complexes. The imaging is conducted by harnessing the power of aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Clay mineral nanosheets, with their anionic charge and ultrathin thickness (of 1 nm), serve as a stable Coulombic host material for cationic guest molecules through electrostatic interactions, facilitating exceptional stability and control during observation. By incorporation of heavy-metal atom markers coordinated within the target molecules, high-angle annular dark field STEM enables a clear visualization of these supramolecular complexes. This approach helps to overcome the limitations of graphene-based systems and expands the possibilities of atomic-scale imaging of nonperiodic molecular assemblies formed by weak supramolecular interactions. The fusion of electron microscopy techniques with the principles of supramolecular and material chemistry offers exciting opportunities for studying the structure, behavior, and properties of complex supramolecular systems. It sheds light on the intricate molecular architectures and design principles governing these systems. This study showcases the immense potential of electron microscopy in supramolecular chemistry and invites researchers from various disciplines to explore the transformative possibilities of atomic-scale imaging in the field.

Solvothermal synthesis of organoclay/Cu-MOF composite and its application in film modified GCE for simultaneous electrochemical detection of deoxyepinephrine, acetaminophen and tyrosine. RSC Adv 2023; 13:20816-20829. [PMID: 37441040 PMCID: PMC10334263 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra03850e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
An organoclay/copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) composite was synthesized using a solvothermal method by growing a Cu-BTC (copper(ii) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) MOF from a mixture of the MOF precursor solution in which various amounts of organoclay had been dispersed. The organoclay was obtained by intercalating a cationic dye, namely thionin, into a natural Cameroonian clay sampled in Sagba deposit (North West of Cameroon). The organoclay and the as-synthesized composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) techniques. From Scherrer's equation, the crystallite size of the composite was found to be between 55 and 58 nm, twice as large as the pristine MOF's crystallite size. The organoclay/Cu-MOF composite (Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2) exhibiting a BET surface area of 192 m2 g-1, about twice that of pristine clay and about one seventh that of pristine MOF, was then utilized to form a stable thin film onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCE) by drop coating (Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2/GCE). These electrodes demonstrated electrocatalytic behavior toward deoxyepinephrine (DXEP) and thus enabled selective and simultaneous sensitive detection of three analytes: DXEP, acetaminophen (AC) and tyrosine (TYR) compared with bare GCE and clay modified electrode. Under optimum conditions, Sa-TN50/Cu3(BTC)2/GCE exhibited good performance including large calibration curves ranging from 5.0 μM to 138.0 μM for DXEP, 4.0 μM to 153.0 μM for AC and 1.0 μM to 29.4 μM for TYR. The detection limits were found to be, 0.4 μM, 0.7 μM and 0.2 μM for DXEP, AC and TYR, respectively. The developed sensors have been applied successfully in the quantification of AC in a commercial tablet of AC, and DXEP, AC and TYR in tap water.

Abstract
Clay minerals are historically among the most used materials with a wide variety of applications. In pharmaceutical and biomedical fields, their healing properties have always been known and used in pelotherapy and therefore attractive for their potential. In recent decades, the research has therefore focused on the systematic investigation of these properties. This review aims to describe the most relevant and recent uses of clays in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field, especially for drug delivery and tissue engineering purposes. Clay minerals, which are biocompatible and non-toxic materials, can act as carriers for active ingredients while controlling their release and increasing their bioavailability. Moreover, the combination of clays and polymers is useful as it can improve the mechanical and thermal properties of polymers, as well as induce cell adhesion and proliferation. Different types of clays, both of natural (such as montmorillonite and halloysite) and synthetic origin (layered double hydroxides and zeolites), were considered in order to compare them and to assess their advantages and different uses.

Ghavamifar S, Naidu R, Mozafari V, Li Z. Can calcite play a role in the adsorption of glyphosate? A comparative study with a new challenge. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 311:136922.

Abstract
Calcite as a sorbent can interact with both inorganic and organic substances through their functional groups. To measure its adsorption ability, another sorbent, saponite was selected because it can sorb glyphosate, an organic compound with a polar molecule and widely used as a herbicide. In this study, the two sorbents calcite and saponite were saturated by calcium chloride, and characterized by SEM-EDX, X-ray diffraction, and Zeta Potential Analyzer to investigate their capacity to sorb glyphosate. After saturation, the saponite became homoionic Ca-saponite with minor changes in morphology and specific surface area. But, the morphology of calcite transformed from rhombohedron to scalenohedron, with an increase of 75-folds in its specific surface, and the zeta potential became positive in alkaline pH, which contradicts the results of all previous research. The modified sorbents (Ca-calcite and Ca-saponite) were added to two soil samples to investigate each sorbent's effect on glyphosate sorption. Adsorption isotherm and percentage of glyphosate desorbed revealed the difference in binding and adsorption sites. The Langmuir and Temkin models fitted isotherm data in low concentrations better and suggested chemosorption for the uptake of glyphosate. FTIR analyses of samples with and without glyphosate were compared and results suggested that the bulk of adsorption happened in siloxane groups and on calcium carbonates surfaces.

Abstract
Water quality and disposability are among the main challenges that governments and societies will outside during the next years due to their close relationship to population growth and urbanization and their direct influence on the environment and socio-economic development. Potable water suitable for human consumption is a key resource that, unfortunately, is strongly limited by anthropogenic pollution and climate change. In this regard, new groups of compounds, referred to as emerging contaminants, represent a risk to human health and living species; they have already been identified in water bodies as a result of increased industrialization. Pesticides, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, and other man-made chemicals indispensable for modern society are among the emerging pollutants of difficult remediation by traditional methods of wastewater treatment. However, the majority of the currently used waste management and remediation techniques require significant amounts of energy and chemicals, which can themselves be sources of secondary pollution. Therefore, this review reported newly advanced, efficient, and sustainable techniques and approaches for water purification. In particular, new advancements in sustainable membrane-based filtration technologies are discussed, together with their modification through a rational safe-by-design to modulate their hydrophilicity, porosity, surface characteristics, and adsorption performances. Thus, their preparation by the use of biopolymer-based gels is described, as well as their blending with functional cross-linkers or nanofillers or by advanced and innovative approaches, such as electrospinning.

Abstract
Transition-metal compounds (oxides, sulfides, hydroxides, etc.) as lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes usually show extraordinary capacity larger than the theoretical value due to the transformation of LiOH into Li2O/LiH. However, there has rarely been a report relaying the transformation of LiOH into Li2O/LiH as the main reaction for LIBs, due to the strong alkalinity of LiOH leading to battery deterioration. In this work, layered silicate MgAl saponite (MA-SAP) is applied as a -OH donor to generate LiOH as the anode material of LIBs for the first time. The MA-SAP maintains a layered structure during the (dis)charging process and has zero-strain characteristic on the (001) crystal plane. In the discharging process, Mg, Al, and Si in the saponite sheets become electron-rich, while the active hydroxyl groups escape from the sheets and combine with lithium ions to form LiOH in the "caves" on sheets, and the LiOH continues to decompose into Li2O and LiH. Consequently, the MA-SAP delivers a maximum capacity of 536 mA h·g-1 at 200 mA·g-1 with a good high-current discharging ability of 155 mA h·g-1 after 1000 cycles under 1 A·g-1. Considering its extremely low cost and completely nontoxic characteristics, MA-SAP has great application prospects in energy storage. In addition, this work has an enlightening effect on the development of new anodes based on extraordinary mechanisms.

Impregnation of Synthetic Saponites with Aldehydes: A Green Approach in the Intercalation of Bioactive Principles. INORGANICS 2022.

Abstract
Synthetic saponite clay was impregnated with either linear saturated or unsaturated aldehydes through an incipient-wetness deposition approach. To increase the aldehyde loading, saponite was also intercalated with positively charged cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) species, aiming to expand the clay gallery and to increase the hydrophobic character of the host solid. A multitechnique, physicochemical investigation was performed on the organic–inorganic hybrid solids. The analyses revealed that the aldehydes are mainly adsorbed on the clay particles’ surface, with a small fraction inside the interlayer space. In CTA+-modified saponites, the concentration of saturated aldehydes was higher than the one observed in the pure clay. These features are quite promising for the development of novel layered solids containing bioactive molecules for ecocompatible and economically sustainable applications, especially in agriculture, for the development of innovative hybrid materials for crop protection.

Abstract
This manuscript deals with the thermal and chemical modification of a natural kaolinite that shows excellent performance in the capture of a cationic organic pollutant from the aqueous phase. Kaolinite was calcined at 700 °C and treated with HCl to remove aluminium and to obtain a siliceous material. The structural changes and the physico-chemical properties of the materials at different stages of thermal and chemical modification were investigated with several techniques, including XRPD, MAS-NMR, SEM-EDX, FT-IR, and N2 physisorption at 77 K. The ability of the parent kaolinite and siliceous material to capture the organic dye, Rhodamine B, from the aqueous phase was investigated by means of UV-Vis spectroscopy. The siliceous material exhibited better adsorption capacity with respect to the parent kaolinite. Finally, the functional stability of the siliceous material was tested over three cycles of regeneration and adsorption.

Abstract
Laponite is a clay-based material composed of synthetic disk-shaped crystalline nanoparticles with highly ionic, large surface area. These characteristics enable the intercalation and dissolution of biomolecules in Laponite-based drug delivery systems. Furthermore, Laponite's innate physicochemical properties and architecture enable the development of tunable pH-responsive drug delivery systems. Laponite's coagulation capacity and cation exchangeability determine its exchange capabilities, drug encapsulation efficiency, and release profile. These parameters are exploited to design highly controlled and efficacious drug delivery platforms for sustained drug release. In this review, they provide an overview of how to design efficient delivery of therapeutics by leveraging the properties and specific interactions of various Laponite-polymer composites and drug moieties.

Abstract
Kaolinite functionalized by the μ-oxo Fe3+-phenanthroline complex (Fe+3Phen) was selected to test its ability to efficiently remove and store gaseous heptanethiol (HPT). Spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, and thermal analysis coupled with evolved gas mass spectrometry were employed to characterize the material before and after the exposure to the gas and to define the adsorption process. The amount of HPT trapped by the functionalized kaolinite after 60 days is 0.10940 moles per 100 g of kaolinite which, considering the amount of adsorbed Fe+3Phen (0.00114 moles per 100 g of kaolinite), means a thiol/Fe3+Phen molar ratio of about 100:1, a value much higher than those found in the past for Fe+3Phen functionalized montmorillonite and sepiolite. In addition, the process was found to be efficient also beyond 60 days. This significant removal of the smelly gas was explained by considering a continuous catalytic activity of Fe3+ toward the oxidation of thiol to disulfide.

Abstract
To date, nanotechnology has increasingly been identified as a promising and efficient means to address a number of challenges associated with public health. In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) biomaterials, as a unique nanoplatform with planar topology, have attracted explosive interest in various fields such as biomedicine due to their unique morphology, physicochemical properties and biological effect. Motivated by the progress of graphene in biomedicine, dozens of types of ultrathin 2D biomaterials have found versatile bio-applications, including biosensing, biomedical imaging, delivery of therapeutic agents, cancer theranostics, tissue engineering, as well as others. The effective utilization of 2D biomaterials stems from the in-depth knowledge of structure-property-bioactivity-biosafety-application-performance relationships. A comprehensive summary of 2D biomaterials for biomedicine is still lacking. In this comprehensive review, we aim to concentrate on the state-of-the-art 2D biomaterials with a particular focus on their versatile biomedical applications. In particular, we discuss the design, fabrication and functionalization of 2D biomaterials used for diverse biomedical applications based on the up-to-date progress. Furthermore, the interactions between 2D biomaterials and biological systems on the spatial-temporal scale are highlighted, which will deepen the understanding of the underlying action mechanism of 2D biomaterials aiding their design with improved functionalities. Finally, taking the bench-to-bedside as a focus, we conclude this review by proposing the current crucial issues/challenges and presenting the future development directions to advance the clinical translation of these emerging 2D biomaterials.

Abstract
A novel bifunctional saponite clay incorporating gadolinium (Gd3+) and europium (Eu3+) in the inorganic framework was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis. The material exhibited interesting luminescent and paramagnetic features derived from the co-presence of the lanthanide ions in equivalent structural positions. Relaxometry and photoluminescence spectroscopy shed light on the chemical environment surrounding the metal sites, the emission properties of Eu3+, and the dynamics of interactions between Gd3+ and the inner-sphere water placed in the saponite gallery. The optical and paramagnetic properties of this solid make it an attractive nanoplatform for bimodal diagnostic applications.

Abstract
For the present work, calcite nanocrystals were grown by annealing precursors at 500 °C. These precursors were obtained by three different thermal schemes. Among these schemes, two involve heating at 100 °C for 16 h and 16 + 24 h, respectively. In the third scheme, heating was performed at 100 °C for 16 h, followed by annealing at 300 °C for 24 h. X-ray diffraction studies, followed by Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopic studies, exhibited the formation of calcite phase of calcium carbonate. Transmission electron microscopy showed that particle sizes of synthesized calcite nanocrystals were in the range of 25–40 nm. Onsets of shape change were also observed with different thermal schemes, using these measurements. X-ray absorption spectroscopy envisaged that the coordination numbers of Ca-O and Ca-Ca shell were not influenced by the thermal schemes; however, bond lengths of these shells were modified. This study in the near edge region evidenced the manifestation of a local electronic structure of calcite when kept in an open environment, depending upon different thermal schemes.

Abstract
For the first time, the co-presence in the saponite structure of luminescent EuIII and catalytic NbV metal sites was exploited for the simultaneous detection and catalytic abatement of sulfur-containing blister chemical warfare agents. Metal centers were introduced in structural positions of the saponite (in the interlayer space or inside the inorganic framework) following two different synthetic methodologies. The functionalized saponites were able to reveal the presence of a sulfur mustard simulant (2-chloroethyl)ethyl sulfide (CEES) after few seconds of contact time and more than 80 % of the substrate was catalytically decomposed after 24 h in the presence of aqueous hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions were encapsulated for the first time in the inorganic layers of a synthetic saponite clay following a one-pot synthetic approach. The co-presence of the two metal ions led to tuneable light-emitting properties, promoted by an efficient Tb3+ → Eu3+ energy transfer and enhanced Stokes shift character. To our knowledge, the so-prepared luminescent material was tested for the first time as an optical sensor for the detection of chromate anions in water.

Abstract
Positively charged Gd(iii) and Y(iii) complexes were intercalated in the gallery of a synthetic saponite. A combination of solid-state NMR and 1H NMR relaxometric investigations has been employed to characterize these hybrid systems. This enabled us to gain atomic level insights into the local environment of the chelates and to evaluate the interactions of the metal species with the co-intercalated water molecules.
