Strong Magneto-Chiroptical Effects through Introducing Chiral Transition-Metal Complex Cations to Lead Halide.

The interplay between chirality with magnetism can break both the space and time inversion symmetry and have wide applications in information storage, photodetectors, multiferroics and spintronics. Herein, we report the chiral transition-metal complex cation-based lead halide, R-CDPB and S-CDPB. In contrast with the traditional chiral metal halides with organic cations, a novel strategy for chirality transfer from the transition-metal complex cation to the lead halide framework is developed.

Wafer-Scale Patterning Integration of Chiral 3D Perovskite Single Crystals toward High-Performance Full-Stokes Polarimeter.

Chiral three-dimensional (3D) perovskites exhibit exceptional optoelectronic characteristics and inherent chiroptical activity, which may overcome the limitations of low-dimensional chiral optoelectronic devices and achieve superior performance. The integrated chip of high-performance arbitrary polarized light detection is one of the aims of chiral optoelectronic devices and may be achieved by chiral 3D perovskites. Herein, we first fabricate the wafer-scale integrated full-Stokes polarimeter by the synergy of unprecedented chiral 3D perovskites (/-PyEA)PbBr and one-step capillary-bridge assembly technology.

Transformer fault diagnosis based on adversarial generative networks and deep stacked autoencoder.

Establishing a deep learning model for transformer fault diagnosis using transformer oil chromatogram data requires a large number of fault samples. The lack and imbalance of oil chromatogram data can lead to overfitting, lack of representativeness of the model, and unsatisfactory prediction results on test set data, making it difficult to accurately diagnose transformer faults. A conditional Wasserstein generative adversarial network with gradient penalty optimization (CWGAN-GP) is adopted in this paper, which based on gradient penalty optimization and expand the oil chromatography fault samples of 500 sets of transformer oil chromatography data with 5 types of faults.

Formaldehyde-Mediated Hydride Liberation of Alkylamines for Intermolecular Reactions in Hexafluoroisopropanol.

The ability of alkylamines to spontaneously liberate hydride ions is typically restrained, except under specific intramolecular reaction settings. Herein, we demonstrate that this reactivity can be unlocked through simple treatment with formaldehyde in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) solvent, thereby enabling various intermolecular hydride transfer reactions of alkylamines under mild conditions. Besides transformations of small molecules, these reactions enable unique late-stage modification of complex peptides.

Peptide Stapling by Crosslinking Two Amines with α-Ketoaldehydes through Diverse Modified Glyoxal-Lysine Dimer Linkers.

α-Ketoaldehydes play versatile roles in the ubiquitous natural processes of protein glycation. However, leveraging the reactivity of α-ketoaldehydes for biomedical applications has been challenging. Previously, the reactivity of α-ketoaldehydes with guanidine has been harnessed to design probes for labeling Arg residues on proteins in an aqueous medium.

Stereoselective Synthesis of C-Vinyl Glycosides via Palladium-Catalyzed C-H Glycosylation of Alkenes.

C-vinyl glycosides are an important class of carbohydrates and pose a unique synthetic challenge. A new strategy has been developed for stereoselective synthesis of C-vinyl glycosides via Pd-catalyzed directed C-H glycosylation of alkenes with glycosyl chloride donors using an easily removable bidentate auxiliary. Both the γ C-H bond of allylamines and the δ C-H bond of homoallyl amine substrates can be glycosylated in high efficiency and with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity.

Synthetic Studies toward Leucosceptroid Family of Natural Products.

Leucosceptroids are sesterterpenoids with potent antifeedant and antifungal activities. In this paper, efforts on two synthetic strategies toward stereoselective total synthesis of the leucosceptroid family of natural products are reported. Intramolecular addition cyclization strategy could lead to a stereochemically mismatched core structure, while intermolecular addition/ring-closing metathesis cyclization strategy successfully furnished an advanced common intermediate bearing eight contiguous stereogenic centers, including three tetra-substituted ones, which fully matches all the stereochemistry on the tricyclic framework in leucosceptroid H.

Stereoselective Construction of the Highly Congested Tricyclic Core Structure in Leucosceptroid H.

Leucosceptroids are sesterterpenoids with potent antifeedant and antifungal activities. An efficient stereoselective construction of the highly congested [5,6,5] tricyclic framework of leucosceptroid H is presented. This framework bearing eight contiguous stereogenic centers, including three tetrasubstituted ones, could serve as a common intermediate for the collective total synthesis of the leucosceptroid family of natural products.

Total Syntheses of Norrisolide-Type Spongian Diterpenes Cheloviolene C, Seconorrisolide B, and Seconorrisolide C.

The first total syntheses of three unusual norrisolide-type rearranged spongian diterpenes, cheloviolene C, seconorrisolide B, and seconorrisolide C, have been accomplished via a common intermediate through late-stage ring-scissoring. The synthesis features a Wolff ring contraction for the synthesis of the trans-hydrindane system, and a crucial retro Diels-Alder reaction/intramolecular ene cyclization for the rapid stereoselective construction of the furo[2,3-b]furan system, which is commonly seen in rearranged spongian diterpenes.
