The sustainable development of sports facilities and their integration with the ecological environment are crucial in addressing global environmental challenges. This study examines the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment in nine prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province, China, from 2013 to 2020, within the framework of China's "Dual Carbon" strategy. Using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates economics, sociology, and geography, the study employs the entropy method and coupling coordination models to analyze the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment.

Article Synopsis
  • Developing new methods for assembling supramolecular compounds has been a challenging area of research.
  • This study combines B-C coupling reactions with a process called "cage walking" to create supramolecular cages using dipyridine linkers.
  • By varying the length of the linkers, researchers can control the size and type of structures formed, which could lead to innovative applications in supramolecular chemistry.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed rectangular carborane-based metallacycles that can effectively separate -pentane from mixtures with -pentane and -pentane, addressing challenges in distinguishing alkanes with similar structures.
  • The metallacycles achieve a high purity level of 97% in the separation process, thanks to their ability to selectively interact with -pentane through size matching and specific chemical interactions.
  • The carborane-based metallacycles can be recycled for repeated use after separation, and their design allows for potential applications in various separation challenges across different chemical compounds.

The controllable B-H bond activation of carboranes has long been a compelling challenge. However, as the symmetry of -carborane places the same charge on all of its ten boron atoms, controlling the regiochemistry of B-H bond activation in these molecules has remained out of reach ever since their discovery. Herein, we describe how to use steric effects to achieve a regioselective process for B-H activation of -carborane.

The introduction of the 2-pyridylsulfenyl directing group to o-carboranes allowed either B(3)-Ir or B(4)-Ir bond formation using a steric effect strategy. Moreover, the reactivity of the B(4)-Rh o-carborane complexes with small molecules was probed by reactions with N-bromosuccinimide, N-iodosuccinimide and O. Rhodium-mediated B(4)-hydroxylation and B(4)-halogenation which are seldom reported have been achieved under practical and mild conditions.

Herein, we describe the synthesis of tetraphenylphosphonium o-carboranyl dithiocarboxylate (Ligand 1) and methyldithiocarboxyl-o-carborane (Ligand 2). The complexes [Cp*M(o-CBHCS)Cl] (M = Ir (3); Rh (4)) and [Cp*M(o-CBHCS)] (M = Ir (5); Rh (6)) have been synthesized based on Ligand 1. The selective B-H bond activation of Ligand 2 has also been explored, leading to the synthesis of the B-H activated complex [Cp*Ir(o-CBHCSCH)Cl] (7) and four of its substituted derivatives (8, 9, 10 and 11).

In this work, a pincer-type complex [Cp*Ir-(SNPh)(SNHPh)(C B H )] (2) was synthesized and its reactivity studied in detail. Interestingly, molecular hydrogen can induce the transformation between the metalloradical [Cp*Ir-(SNPh) (C B H )] (5 ) and 2. A mixed-valence complex, [(Cp*Ir) -(SNPh) (C B H )] (7 ), was also synthesized by one-electron oxidation.

Iridium(iii)-induced selective B(2,3)-H and C-H bond activations at mono- and bi-p-methoxybenzeneazo-substituted m-carboranes have been investigated. A powerful methodology is introduced for the preparation of unique polynuclear complexes featuring m-carboranyl ligands in a single step. The experimental results highlight that the base employed in the reaction plays a key role in the formation and the structures of the complexes.

A binuclear iridium complex, (Cp2*Ir2(CH2O)C2B10H8) (6), with a unique metal-metal bond has been synthesized and fully characterized. Importantly, this complex is constructed via selective C-H and B(3)-H bond activation on the carborane precursor. Additionally, when the proligand (2-pyridine)(o-carboranyl)methanol ligand was combined with a half-sandwich iridium complex, selective B(6)-H bond activation or metal-carbon bond formation can be induced by the use of different bases.
