Synergistic corrosion inhibition of 4-hydroxypyridine and halogen ions: Insights from interfacial nonlinear spectroscopy.

4-Hydroxypiridine (4-HPy) is a green chemistry corrosion inhibitor for low-carbon steel, valued for its environmental compatibility and low toxicity. Despite lower initial effectiveness than 4-mercapto/4-aminopyridine, 4-HPy's performance is markedly enhanced by halogen ions. By employing second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy combined with electrochemical methods, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and in situ UV spectroscopy, this study elucidates the synergistic enhancement mechanism of 4-HPy with Cl-, Br-, and I- in 0.

Triphenylamine-Based Covalent Organic Framework Films for Dopamine-Responsive Electrofluorochromism.

Covalent organic framework (COF) film with electrofluorochromic (EFC) and electrochromic (EC) properties has been synthesized by using triphenylamine-based monomers. The film exhibited a high maximum fluorescence contrast of 151 when subjected to a drive voltage of 0.75 V vs the Ag/AgCl electrode, causing the fluorescence to be quenched, which resulted in the EFC process's "fluorescence off" state.

Microemulsion-Assisted Self-Assembly of Indium Porphyrin Photosensitizers with Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy.

Designing and constructing supramolecular photosensitizer nanosystems with highly efficient photodynamic therapy (PDT) is vital in the nanomedical field. Despite recent advances in forming well-defined superstructures, the relationship between molecular arrangement in nanostructures and photodynamic properties has rarely been involved, which is crucial for developing stable photosensitizers for highly efficient PDT. In this work, through a microemulsion-assisted self-assembly approach, indium porphyrin (InTPP) was used to fabricate a series of morphology-controlled self-assemblies, including nanorods, nanospheres, nanoplates, and nanoparticles.

Constructing Stable Chromenoquinoline-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks via Intramolecular Povarov Reaction.

Chemically stable chromenoquinoline (CQ)-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) were constructed by postsynthetic conversion of imine COFs. The key step of an intramolecular Povarov reaction can transform a preintegrated alkyne group to bridge the benzene rings on both sides of the imine linkage via chemical bonds, affording a ladder-type CQ linkage. This novel approach achieves a high cyclization degree of 80-90%, which endows the CQ-COFs with excellent chemical stability toward strong acid, base, and redox reagents.

Sandmeyer-Type Reductive Disulfuration of Anilines.

A transition metal/ligand-free disulfuration of anilines with disulfur transfer reagents (dithiosulfonate or tetrasulfide) is reported herein. The reaction, which can be considered as a reductive disulfuration variation of the classic Sandmeyer reaction, is performed under mild conditions and exhibits broad scope across the aniline substrate and disulfur transfer reagent classes. The gram-scale synthesis of disulfides is successfully achieved through this method, rendering the approach highly valuable.

Direct Noncovalent Activation of α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes for the Stereodivergent Synthesis of Substituted Cyclohexenes.

HOMO-raising noncovalent activation of α-aryl α,β-unsaturated aldehydes using a bifunctional Brønsted base catalyst is achieved. The catalytically generated dienolate intermediate undergoes all-carbon [4+2] cyclizations with nitroolefins, leading to chiral cyclohexenes with four contiguous stereocenters in high yields and with excellent enantioseletivity. Furthermore, the diastereodivergent synthesis of the products is realized by introducing a second steric control to the bifunctional catalyst; 4 isomers out of 16 possible stereoisomers of the products were selectively produced by simple use of two catalysts and their (pseudo)enantiomers.
