Visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of ofloxacin by g-C3N4/NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) heterostructure: Mechanisms, DFT calculation, degradation pathway and toxicity evolution

Qi Su et al.

Summary: In this study, g-C3N4/NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (MCN-x) heterostructures were successfully prepared and exhibited excellent degradation performance towards ofloxacin under visible light. The introduction of g-C3N4 in MCN-60 composite notably promoted the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to efficient photocatalytic activity.

Bayesian reaction optimization as a tool for chemical synthesis

Benjamin J. Shields et al.

Summary: Reaction optimization and parameter optimization are crucial in synthetic chemistry and artificial intelligence, respectively. Bayesian optimization algorithm has shown exceptional performance in tuning machine learning models and has been applied in chemistry. However, its application in reaction optimization in synthetic chemistry has not been explored. Adopting Bayesian optimization methods into everyday laboratory practices could lead to more efficient synthesis of functional chemicals.
