Well-defined single-atom catalysts (SACs) serve as ideal model systems for directly comparing experimental results with theoretical calculations, offering profound insights into heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, precisely designing and controllably synthesizing SACs remain challenging due to the unpredictable structure evolution of active sites and generation of embedded active sites, which may bring about steric hindrance during chemical reactions. Herein, we present the precious nonpyrolysis synthesis of Re SACs with a well-defined phenanthroline coordination supported by NiO (Re-phen/NiO).

This study aimed to evaluate the cholesterol-regulatory effects of lauric-acid-esterified octacosanol (LEO) and oleic-acid-esterified octacosanol (OEO) compared to their unmodified counterparts and to investigate the underlying mechanisms by partially substituting the fat content in obese C57BL/6J mice induced with a high-fat diet (HFD). Rice bran oil and coconut oil were also investigated as they are rich in oleic acid and lauric acid, respectively. The results showed that all supplemented groups significantly inhibited weight gain induced by the HFD, but the groups treated with esterified octacosanol exhibited a more pronounced effect.

Germanium is known to occupy tetrahedral sites by substituting silicon in germanosilicate zeolites. In this study, we present pioneering findings regarding the synthesis of zeolites with an MFI structure (GeMFI) incorporating a high germanium amount (16% Ge). Remarkably, the germanium atoms feature a slight electron deficiency with respect to GeO, and the typical coordination number of 4, as usually reported for the germanosilicate zeolites, is exceeded, giving rise to Ge dimers in a double-bridge configuration.

GABA receptors (GABARs) are the major elements of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system (CNS). They are established targets for regulation by endogenous brain neuroactive steroids (NASs) such as pregnanolone. However, the complexity of de novo synthesis of NAS derivatives has hindered attempts to circumvent the principal limitations of using endogenous NASs, including selectivity and limited oral bioavailability.

Cannabichromene (CBC), a valuable but extremely low-abundance component of cannabinoids in L., is known for its ability to promote neurogenesis. The scarcity of CBC in natural is primarily attributed to the inefficiency of the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate/2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4 phosphate (DOXP/MEP) and fatty acid metabolism pathways, along with the limited competitive advantage of cannabichromenic acid synthetase (CBCAS) compared to other cannabinoid synthases.
