Abstract Eurasian permafrost soils contain large amounts of organic carbon (OC) and mercury (Hg), sequestered by vegetation during past and present interglacial periods. Lake sediment archives may help understand past OC and Hg dynamics and how they interact with climate‐related variables.

A history of strategies and a tapestry of triumphant tales in tackling plant fungal diseases
Here we review several major historical triumphs made by plant pathologists and breeders to tackle fungal diseases predominantly of the top five food crops—rice, wheat, maize, soybean and potato. Abstract Ever since the first crops were domesticated over 10,000 years ago, pests and pathogens have wreaked havoc on crop production.

Green Metrics and Sustainability in Photocatalysis
Lights and shadows in photocatalysis. This Review analyzes the sustainability of photoredox catalytic processes in the context of mass‐based metrics, highlighting significant sustainability issues in photocatalysts synthesis and in catalytic protocols, primarily driven by energy demanding preparations and by solvent intensive work‐up and purification ...

Complexity-generating hydration reactions via gold-catalyzed addition of boronic acids to alkynes [PDF]
Boronic acids can serve as organic soluble substitutes for water molecules in the metal-catalyzed hydration of alkynes. The Au-catalyzed addition of boronic acids to alkynes provides an alternative method for enolate generation, which proceeds under ...

Mercury was safely caged into a dibenzyldiazabicyclononane scaffold to ensure the stable preparation of organomercurials for later radiotracer applications in nuclear medicine. The chosen synthesis route opens the easy introduction of different leaving groups for the mercuration process.

Selectivity Enhancement for Chloride Ion by In(III)‐Porphyrin‐Based Polymeric Membrane Electrode Operated in Pulsed Chronopotentiometric Mode [PDF]
A robust selectivity enhancement of an In(III)‐porphyrin ionophore‐based chloride‐selective electrode under pulsed chronopotentiometric measurement mode that enables the detection of chloride ions in the presence of a normally interfering concentration ...

Abstract Birds are used as bioindicators of environmental mercury (Hg) contamination, and toxicity reference values are needed for injury assessments. We conducted a comprehensive review, summarized data from 168 studies, performed a series of Bayesian hierarchical meta‐analyses, and developed new toxicity reference values for the effects of ...

We investigated the impact of melting glaciers and wastewater in the Arctic on the aquatic resistome. Plasmids, small genetic carriers known for transferring antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria were our target. By studying these genetic elements in glacial ice and nearby waters of Svalbard, we uncovered the presence of the unique as well ...

Mechanism of efficient anti-Markovnikov olefin hydroarylation catalyzed by homogeneous Ir(III) complexes [PDF]
The mechanism of the hydroarylation reaction between unactivated olefins (ethylene, propylene, and styrene) and benzene catalyzed by [(R)Ir(μ-acac-O,O,C^3)-(acac-O,O)_2]_2 and [R-Ir(acac-O,O)_2(L)] (R = acetylacetonato, CH_3, CH_2CH_3, Ph, or CH_2CH_2Ph,
