The MOF was thoroughly characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric and N-2 sorption analyses. The activated material (1') retained its structural integrity in water, acetic acid and 1 M HCl solution. XPS investigation reveals the presence of both Ce(III) and Ce(IV) ions in 1. Owing to the presence of mixed-valence cerium ions, 1' was able to oxidize the chromogenic peroxidase substrate 3,3', 5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) or 2,2'azinobis.3- ethylbenzothizoline-6-sulfonic acid) (AzBTS) in the absence of an external oxidizing agent. Thus, it showed inherent oxidase-like catalytic properties. Inspired by the excellent oxidase-mimicking activity of 1', a protocol was developed for the rapid colorimetric sensing of biothiols in NaAc buffer (0.2 M, pH = 4). The sensing ability of 1' towards cysteine was also demonstrated in human blood plasma. Furthermore, the redox-active cerium ions enabled 1' to exhibit excellent heterogeneous catalytic performance in aerobic oxidation catalysis of thiol compounds. The material is reusable (both as a sensor and as a catalyst), lowcost and highly stable, which renders it a promising candidate for the monitoring of biothiols in immunoassays and medical diagnosis as well as for industrial oxidation catalysis.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.474</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reddy, Kasala Prabhakar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dama, Srikanth</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mhamane, Nitin B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosalya, Manoj K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raja, Thirumalaiswamy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Satyanarayana, Chilukuri V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gopinath, Chinnakonda S.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"> Molybdenum carbide catalyst for the reduction of CO2 to CO: surface science aspects by NAPPES and catalysis studies </style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalton Transactions</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12199-12209</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Carbon dioxide is &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; greenhouse gas, and needs &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt; be converted into one &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;hitHilite&quot;&gt;the&lt;/span&gt; useful feedstocks, such as carbon monoxide and methanol.
