aredness can take place national, provincial and hospital levels. Nursing professionals participate in hospital disaster preparedness and work with multidisciplinary teams to provide services. Nurses should be prepared for such participation, as their involvement, through tailored services for hospital disaster preparedness, can expand the literature on nursing knowledge to improve clinical outcomes.Polyoxometalates (POMs) have emerged as material of interest in many applications such as energy storage and conversion due to their redox activity and molecularly defined structure. However, especially for polyoxovanadates a lack of understanding between structural modifications and physicochemical properties remains. The present study leverages a lacunary dodecavanadate to systematically investigate the electronic effect of heterometal functionalization. While structural distortion affects the stability of the cluster, the redox potentials correlate with the overall cluster charge. Furthermore, we report the first bromide-templated analogue of this cluster family. While the halide anion is crucial for the formation of the cluster, no major effect on the electrochemical properties is observed. By improving the understanding of structure-property relationship in this work, we hope to enable a more predictable tuning of redox-properties of polyoxovandates. Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamides (PDCAMs) exhibit a certain extraction ability for tetravalent actinide ions, but quite limited information is available regarding the structures and reactivities of corresponding An -PDCAMs complexes. Neutral diamides can form multiply charged complexes with lanthanide and actinide cations, which are well suited for gas-phase investigations by using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in conjunction with theoretical calculation. Binary Th (TMPDCAM) /U (TMPDCAM) (TMPDCAM = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide) complexes were generated in the gas phase via electrospray ionization (ESI) of Th (ClO ) /U (ClO ) and TMPDCAM mixtures in acetonitrile, collision-induced dissociation (CID) was employed to reveal their fragmentation behaviors, the structure and bonding were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. An (TMPDCAM) (An = Th and U) tetracations dominated the ESI mass spectra of An (ClO ) and TMPDCAM mixtures inmistry of quadruply charged actinide-diamide complexes are affected by the metal centers with distinct properties. An4+ (An = Th and U) can form stable tetrapositive complexes in the gas phase upon coordination of three neutral TMPDCAM ligands. Structure and bonding analyses indicate that the two An (TMPDCAM)3 4+ complexes possess twisted tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry, the An4+ centers are coordinated by six Ocarbonyl and three Npyridine atoms while the interactions between An4+ and Ocarbonyl is stronger. The fragmentation chemistry of Th (TMPDCAM)3 4+ and U (TMPDCAM)3 4+ is quite different from each other, which reveals that the gas-phase chemistry of quadruply charged actinide-diamide complexes are affected by the metal centers with distinct properties.For the past few years, a new generation of energy storage systems with large theoretical specific capacity has been urgently needed because of the rapid development of society. Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for novel battery systems, since their resurgence at the end of the 20th century Li-S batteries have attracted ever more attention, attributed to their notably high theoretical energy density of 2600 W h kg-1 , which is almost five times larger than that of commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). One of the determining factors in Li-S batteries is how to design/prepare the sulfur cathode. For the sulfur host, the major technical challenge is avoiding the shuttling effect that is
