AB  - An expanding web of adverse impacts on people and the environment has been steadily linked to anthropogenic chemicals and their proliferation. Central to this web are the regulatory structures intended to protect human and environmental health through the control of new molecules. Through chronically insufficient and inefficient action, the current chemical-by-chemical regulatory approach, which considers regulation at the level of chemical identity, has enabled many adverse impacts to develop and persist. Recognizing the link between fundamental physicochemical properties and hazards, we describe a new paradigm─property-based regulation. By regulating physicochemical properties, we show how governments can delineate and enforce safe chemical spaces, increasing the scalability of chemical assessments, reducing the time and resources to regulate a substance, and providing transparency for chemical designers. We highlight sparse existing property-based approaches and demonstrate their applicability using bioaccumulation as an example. Finally, we present a path to implementation in the United States, prescribing roles and steps for government, nongovernmental organizations, and industry to accelerate this transition, to the benefit of all.

AB  - The electrochemical reductive cleavage of the C–O bond in the lignin α-O-4 model compound benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) at room temperature was investigated using earth-abundant nickel as a catalyst in methanol. Experiments using a divided cell setup using either NiCl2·6H2O salt or pre-deposited Ni on a carbon paper cathode (Ni/CP) under an inert atmosphere revealed the essential role of freshly and uniformly deposited Ni0 on the electrode surface for the reductive, catalytic cleavage to yield phenol and toluene. To better understand the reaction mechanism, the surface morphology and composition of the Ni/CP electrode were investigated by SEM, XRD, and XPS. Additionally, the role of methanol as a proton donor was established, and electrochemical hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis (ECH) experiments of BPE with sterically hindered substituents revealed that the reaction mechanism shares similarities with Pd/C hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis chemistry. DFT calculations further supported this mechanistic route and were consistent with the experimental observations. Based on both experimental and calculation results, a mechanism including (1) the interaction of the benzylic side of BPE with the catalyst surface, (2) adsorbed hydrogen interacting with the benzylic carbon to induce C–O bond scission, and (3) proton transfer to the phenoxy anion from the methanol was proposed.

AB  - Current catalytic hydrogenolysis of lignin C–O bonds, which is crucial for lignin valorization, often requires a noble metal catalyst or/and harsh conditions such as elevated temperatures and high pressures. Herein, we report a highly selective electrochemical protocol to reductively cleave the benzylic C–O bond of the α-O-4 lignin model compound benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) at room temperature and ambient pressure. Nearly complete conversion of BPE to toluene and phenol in methanol was achieved in an undivided cell using Ni foam at both the anode and cathode, with yields of 97% and 30%, respectively. Using a divided cell, yields of 90% (toluene) and 84% (phenol) could be achieved using inexpensive carbon paper as the cathode when Ni(II) salts were added to the cathode chamber. Notably, other divalent metal salts did not lead to any product formation, suggesting a unique role of Ni ions in benzylic C–O bond cleavage. Further, a substrate scope study revealed the suitability of the method for a variety of substituted BPEs. This work provides an economical and environmentally friendly method for selective cleavage of C–O bonds in benzylic ethers as model compounds for lignin.

AB  - The ability of transition metal chitosan complexes (TMCs) of varying valence and charge to selectively adsorb As(III) and As(V) over their strongest adsorptive competitor, phosphate is examined. Fe(III)-chitosan, Cu(II)-chitosan, Al(III)-chitosan, Ni(II)-chitosan, and Zn(II)-chitosan are synthesized, characterized via Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), and their selective sorption capabilities towards arsenite and arsenate over phosphate are evaluated. It was found that the stability of the metal-chitosan complexes varied, with Al(III)- and Zn(II)-chitosan forming unstable complexes resulting in precipitation of gibbsite, and Wulfingite and zincite, respectively. Cu(II)-, Ni(II)-, and Fe(III)- chitosan formed a mixture of monodentate and bidentate complexes. The TMCs which formed the bidentate complex (Cu(II)-, Ni(II)-, and Fe(III)-) showed greater adsorption capability for arsenate in competitive systems with phosphate. Using the binary separation factor ∝t/c, it can be shown that only Fe(III)-chitosan is selective for As(V) and As(III) over phosphate. Density Functional Theory (DFT) modeling and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) determined that Fe(III)-chitosan and Ni(II)-chitosan adsorbed As(V) and As(III) via inner-sphere complexation, while Cu(II)-chitosan formed mainly outer-sphere complexes with As(V) and As(III). These differences in complexation likely result in the observed differences in selective adsorption capability towards As(V) and As(III) over phosphate.

The TMCs which formed the bidentate complex (Cu(II)-, Ni(II)-, and Fe(III)-) showed greater adsorption capability for arsenate in competitive systems with phosphate. Using the binary separation factor ∝t/c, it can be shown that only Fe(III)-chitosan is selective for As(V) and As(III) over phosphate. Density Functional Theory (DFT) modeling and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) determined that Fe(III)-chitosan and Ni(II)-chitosan adsorbed As(V) and As(III) via inner-sphere complexation, while Cu(II)-chitosan formed mainly outer-sphere complexes with As(V) and As(III). These differences in complexation likely result in the observed differences in selective adsorption capability towards As(V) and As(III) over phosphate.",

AB  - We report a novel method for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated enones to the corresponding fully saturated alcohols in a single procedure. Remarkably, the method employs a heterogeneous copper catalyst in water and only requires resin-treatment for isolation of C-glycosidic alcohols as pure, diastereomeric mixtures. Our methodology was applied to the reduction of aromatic and aliphatic enones which furnished a library of C-glycosidic saturated alcohols from renewable sugars via a green and sustainable approach.

AB  - Disordered materials with resilient and soft-templated functional units bear the
potential to fill the pipeline of robust catalysts for renewable energy storage.
However, for novel materials lacking long-range order, the ability to discern
local structure with atomic resolution still pushes the boundaries of current
analytical and modeling approaches. We introduce a two-pillar strategy to
monitor the formation and unravel the structure of the first disordered onedimensional cobalt coordination polymer catalyst, Co-dppeO2. This target
material excels through proven high performance in commercial alkaline
electrolyzers and organic transformations. We demonstrate that the key architecture behind this activity is the unconventional embedding of hydrated
{H2O-Co2(OH)2-OH2} edge-site motifs, nested into a flexible organic matrix of
highly oxidized and bridging hydrophobic dppeO2 ligands. Our combination
of in situ spectroscopy and computational modeling of X-ray scattering and
absorption spectra, backed with complementary experimental techniques,
holds the key to understanding the atomic-range structure of important
disordered materials.
