Although compounds that feature 3-centre 2-electron (3c-2e) bonds are well known, there has been no previous effort to classify the interactions according to the number of electrons that each atom contributes to the bond...
3- And 9-component Pd(0) catalysed assembly of allenes, aryl iodides and N-nucleophiles with concomitant installation of trisubstituted Z-alkenes is readily achieved.
A second polymorphic form of a 1 : 2 : 3 pamoate : DABCO : water salt has been obtained by liquid-assisted grinding, and it is shown that interconversion between this salt and a salt with 1 : 1 : 2 stoichiometry is facil...
CO2-switchable gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by functionalizing AuNPs with CO2-switchable polymers. Their dispersion-re-dispersion in and separation from aqueous solution can be easily and reproducibly adjuste...
2,2'-Dipyridylamine and anthracene units were linked to afford highly emissive compounds whose Cu2+ ensembles were developed as effective fluorescence turn-on CN- probes.
Nitrogen-enriched porous carbon materials made via the carbonization of polyacrylonitrile containing block copolymer act as efficient and highly selective CO2 sorbents. Nitrogen content and surface area, which are both i...
Addition of anions derived from dialkyl methylphosphonates to (Ss)-N-tert-butanesulfinyl (3,3,3)-trifluoroacetaldimine afforded (Ss, R) addition adducts in moderate to good yield (53-75%) with excellent diastereoselectiv...
An efficient one-step synthesis of multi-functionalized oxazole derivatives is achieved in high yield by dirhodium(II)-catalyzed reactions of styryl diazoacetate with aryl oximes.
In this work, we report a novel surface modification which can improve the desorption of a hydrodesulfurization product (H2S) from mesoporous TiO2. The corresponding catalyst exhibits a significantly enhanced hydrodesulf...
The copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) was used for the first time to attach a biologically active carbon monoxide delivery agent to modified nanodiamond (ND) as a highly biocompatible carrie...
We report the chiral diene ligated rhodium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) of racemic secondary allylic trichloroacetimidates with a variety of N-methyl anilines, providing allylic N-methyl ar...
A tetraphenylethylene-derivative fluorescent probe for the one-step detection of histone deacetylases (HDAC) was developed. The deacetylation of the probe triggers electrostatic interaction between the molecules and auto...
A novel in situ time-resolved synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was introduced for the dynamic studies during fast chemical and electrochemical delithiation of LiFePO4. The lithium diffusion in LiFePO4 and ...
In this communication, we describe the covalent assembly of gold nanoparticles into core-satellite clusters using the "cream of the crop" Click reaction, namely, azide-alkyne Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Surface en...
The use of NH2 on the (Pt(C C)(2)(PBu3)(2))(n)/anthraquinone diimine)(n) polymer induces a tautomeric species which leads to a mixed-valent form reminiscent of emaraldine in polyaniline.
The concomitant operation of dynamic covalent frameworks and metallodynamers results in the formation of selective Zn2+-based dynameric membranes for restrictive facilitated and selective transport of CO2.
