Topological Transformation and Dimensional Reduction in Multicomponent Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Separations.

Multicomponent MOFs have offered a wide range of opportunities to harness new properties. However, the synthesis of multicomponent MOFs remains challenging. This work demonstrates the synthesis of a family of multicomponent MOFs by topological transformation from well-established multicomponent partitioned acs (pacs) structures.

Homoleptic Organolanthanum-Catalyzed Carbohalogenation.

Metal-halogen exchange reactions are fundamental processes in chemistry that transform organic halides into organometallic reagents. However, using these reactions to build intricate structures in a cascade manner, especially in a catalytic mode, has been a challenge. In this study, we introduce a homoleptic organolanthanum catalyst to initiate lanthanum-halogen exchange and intramolecular carbohalogenation.

Tailoring the catalytic activity and selectivity on CO to C products by the synergistic effect of reactive molecules: A DFT study.

The conversion of CO to CO is one of the crucial pathways in the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR). Iron and nitrogen co-doped carbon matrix (FeN) is a promising catalyst for converting COto CO with excellent activity and selectivity. However, the reactive mechanism of CORR on the FeN catalyst is not fully unveiled.

Electrooxidation enables highly regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives.

The dearomatization of arenes represents a powerful synthetic methodology to provide three-dimensional chemicals of high added value. Here we report a general and practical protocol for regioselective dearomative annulation of indole and benzofuran derivatives in an electrochemical way. Under undivided electrolytic conditions, a series of highly functionalized five to eight-membered heterocycle-2,3-fused indolines and dihydrobenzofurans, which are typically unattainable under thermal conditions, can be successfully accessed in high yield with excellent regio- and stereo-selectivity.
