Active control of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement shows great potential for realizing smart detection of different molecules. However, conventional methods usually involve time-consuming structural design or a sophisticated fabrication process. Herein, we reported an electrically tunable field effect transistor (FET) comprising a WO/MoO hybrid as the SERS active layer.

It was found for the first time that organic alkali metal compounds serve as highly efficient precatalysts for the hydrophosphonylation reactions of aldehydes and unactivated ketones with dialkyl phosphite under mild conditions. For ketone substrates, a reversible reaction was observed, and the influence of catalyst loading and reaction temperature on the reaction equilibrium was studied in detail. Overall, the hydrophosphonylation reactions catalyzed by 0.

Four novel heterobimetallic complexes [REL2]{[(THF)3Li]2(μ-Cl)} stabilized by chiral phenoxy-functionalized prolinolate (RE = Yb (1), Y (2), Sm (3), Nd (4), H2L = (S)-2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-[[2-(hydroxydiphenylmethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl]methyl]phenol have been synthesized and characterized. These readily available complexes are highly active in catalyzing the epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones, while the enantioselectivity varies according to the ionic radii of the rare earth center. A series of chalcone derivatives were converted to chiral epoxides in 80 → 99% ee at 0 °C using TBHP as the oxidant in the presence of 10 mol % of 1.

Lanthanide anilido complexes stabilized by the 2,6-diisopropylanilido ligand have been synthesized and characterized, and their catalytic activity for hydrophosphonylation reaction was explored. A reaction of anhydrous LnCl3 with 5 equivalents of LiNHPh-(I)Pr2-2,6 in THF generated the heterobimetallic lanthanide-lithium anilido complexes (2,6-(I)Pr2PhNH)5LnLi2(THF)2 [Ln = Sm(1), Nd(2), Y(3)] in good isolated yields. These complexes are well characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (for complex ) and single-crystal structure determination.
