Currently, novel technologies are highly prerequisite as an outstanding approach in the field of photocatalytic water splitting (PWS). Previous research has shown that copolymerization technology could improve the photocatalytic performance of pristine carbon nitride (CN) more efficiently. As this technology further allows the charge carrier recombination constraints, due to novel monomer-incorporated highly abundant surface-active sites of metals in polymeric carbon nitride-based heterojunction.

-Stereomutation of phosphine oxides is extremely slow. We show that it is catalysed by chlorophosphonium salts (CPS) which can directly be formed in the system . The racemization of phosphine oxides at ambient conditions catalysed by 1 mol% of CPS takes 1-2 hours and can be arrested by additon of a primary alcohol.

Chiral separation, the process of isolating enantiomers from a racemic mixture, holds paramount importance in diverse scientific disciplines. Using chiral separation methods like chromatography and electrophoresis, enantiomers can be isolated and characterized. This study emphasizes the significance of chiral separation in drug development, quality control, environmental analysis, and chemical synthesis, facilitating improved therapeutic outcomes, regulatory compliance, and enhanced industrial processes.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel nanocomposite, stannous oxide@hafnium carbide (SnO@HfC), was developed using a hydrothermal method for effectively degrading bisphenol A (BPA) through photocatalytic processes stimulated by peroxymonosulfate (PMS).
  • Characterization techniques confirmed the successful preparation of the nanocomposite, while DFT analysis provided insights into its crystal and electronic properties, highlighting the advantages gained from forming a heterojunction.
  • The SnO@HfC nanocomposite demonstrated high efficiency in degrading BPA, strong self-cleaning capabilities, and excellent durability over multiple cycles, making it a promising candidate for treating pharmaceutical wastewater.

The complex fluxional interconversions between otherwise very similar phosphonium bromides and chlorides R PX X (R=Alk, Ar, X=Cl or Br) were studied by NMR techniques. Their energy barriers are typically ca. 11 kcal mol , but rise rapidly as bulky groups are attached to phosphorus, revealing the importance of steric factors.
