Changes in Americans’ prejudices during the presidency of Donald Trump

Ruisch and Ferguson examine changes in prejudice in the United States during Trump’s presidency. They find both increases in prejudice amongst Trump’s supporters and decreases amongst those opposed to Trump, changes that seem to stem from perceived social norms.

Negative cooperativity upon hydrogen bond-stabilized O₂ adsorption in a redox-active metal–organic framework

Oxygen capture is attractive for catalysis, sensing, and separations, but engineering stable and selective adsorbents is challenging. Here the authors combine metal-based electron transfer with secondary coordination sphere effects in a metal-organic framework, leading to strong and reversible O₂ adsorption that also exhibits negative cooperativity.

Efficient and tunable one-dimensional charge transport in layered lanthanide metal–organic frameworks

High electrical conductivities in metal–organic frameworks—attractive for applications in sensing and energy storage—typically arise in layered MOFs from metal–ligand bonds with strong covalent character. Now, lanthanide-based MOFs have shown high out-of-plane conductivities originating instead from the π-stacking of organic ligands.

Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) are generally viewed as noncatalytic readers of acetylated lysines within proteins. Specific inhibitors of class IIa HDACs, based on a new zinc-binding scaffold, offer chemical probes to explore the biological function and potential druggability of this enzyme subclass.
