The in vitro hepatic microsomal metabolism of N-1'-benzylnornicotine, N-l'-(p-chlorobenzyl)nornicotine, N-1'-benzoylnornicotine and N-1'-(p-chlorobenzoyl) nornicotine was studied using hepatic washed rat microsomal preparations fortified with NADPH. Substrates and their potential metabolites were synthesized, characterised by spectral methods, and separated using a reverse phase HPLC system consisted of a C18 column and a mobile phase composition of acetonitrile: phosphate buffer. Substrates and their potential metabolites were extracted from biological systems with dichloromethane. Metabolites detected were compared with retention times and uv spectra of authentic standards. Metabolic experiments indicated that oxidative dealkylation leading to the formation of nornicotine and the corresponding aldehydes was a major route of metabolism for N-alkylnornicotine substrates. In addition, N-1'-(p-chlorobenzyl)nornicotine produced the corresponding lactam and amide metabolites. N-Acylnornicotines were hydrolysed to nornicotine.

Bismuth oxyselenide (BiOSe) stands as a highly promising layered semiconductor with outstanding optical, electrical, and thermal properties. For the practical application of the material toward the devices, growing BiOSe directly on the amorphous substrate at low temperatures (<400 °C) is essential; however, the negatively charged bottom Se layer originating from alternating stacks of Se and [BiO] has hindered this process. In this work, we report the method for synthesizing a BiOSe film on amorphous alumina (AlO) directly at 350 °C by using chemical solution deposition.

Enzymes are the cornerstone of biocatalysis, biosynthesis and synthetic biology. However, their applicability is often limited by low substrate selectivity. A prime example is the bifunctional linalool/nerolidol synthase (LNS) that can use both geranyl diphosphate (GPP) and farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to produce linalool and nerolidol, respectively.

Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane B(CF)·HO is reported as a catalyst for dehydrative amidation of carboxylic acids and amines. This protocol is applicable across a wide range of >35 substrates, including aromatic and aliphatic amines and acids, resulting in amides in ≤92% yields. The scalability of the reaction up to 10 mmol, along with the synthesis of drugs such as ibuprofen amide, moclobemide, and phenacetin, demonstrates the industrial potential of our protocol.

The development of environmentally friendly, high-efficiency, stable, earth-abundant and non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts with fast kinetics and low overpotential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of exceeding significance but still challenging. Herein, a bifunctional electrode of unique hierarchical NiFe-LDH/Ni/NiCoS/NF (NiFe-LDH = nickel-iron layered double hydroxide and NF = nickel foam) electrocatalytic architecture, which is built up from NiFe-LDH nanosheets, Ni nanoparticles and NiCoS nanoneedles sequentially arrayed on a porous NF substrate, has been prepared by a facile hydrothermal and electrodeposition method. This electrocatalytic architecture is binder-free and its outer NiFe-LDH nanosheets can effectively prevent the oxidation of inner Ni nanoparticles and corrosion of NiCoS nanoneedles during water electrolysis.

High-entropy metal oxides (HEOs) have recently received growing attention for broad energy conversion and storage applications due to their tunable properties. HEOs typically involve the combination of multiple metal cations in a single oxide lattice, thus bringing distinctive structures, controllable elemental composition, and tunable functional properties. Many synthesis methods for HEOs have been reported, such as solid-state reactions and carbon thermal shock methods.
