The optical rotation sign/absolute configuration relationships of several alpha-methyl-alpha-arylglycines have been reinvestigated by crystallographic methods, as they have been found to be inconsistent in recent literature. Assignments previously made by enzymatic resolution, by analogy with natural tertiary aminoacids were found to be erroneous in the case of these quaternary aminoacids.

In recent years, the morphology control of semiconductor nanomaterials has been attracting increasing attention toward maximizing their functional properties and reaching their end use in real-world devices. However, the development of easy and cost-effective methods for preparing large-scale patterned semiconductor structures on flexible temperature-sensitive substrates remains ever in demand. In this study, vapor post-treatment (VPT) is investigated as a potential, simple and low-cost post-preparative method to morphologically modify gravure-printed zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticulate thin films at low temperatures.

Synthesis of Atropisomeric Quinazolin-4-one Derivatives Based on Remote H/D and C/C Discrimination.

Both enantiomers of 2-ethylquinazolin-4-ones bearing -CHO/CDO and CHO/CHO phenyl groups at the N3 position were prepared. These are isotopic atropisomeric compounds based on a remote and conformationally flexible H/D and C/C discrimination, and it was found that a CHCl solution of -CHO/CDO derivative shows a slight specific optical rotation. Furthermore, diastereomeric quinazolinone derivatives bearing a chiral carbon were prepared, and their stereochemical purities and rotational stability as well as the isotopic atropisomerism were verified by H NMR and chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses.

Weyl semimetals are a novel class of topological materials with unique electronic structures and distinct properties. HfRhGe stands out as a noncentrosymmetric Weyl semimetal with unconventional superconducting characteristics. Using muon-spin rotation and relaxation (µSR) spectroscopy and thermodynamic measurements, a fully gapped superconducting state is identified in HfRhGe that breaks time-reversal symmetry at the superconducting transition.
