Either silver trifluoromethanesulfonate or a mixture of gold(I) chloride, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, and triphenylphosphine catalyze the formation of pyrroles from substituted beta-alkynyl ketones and amines. The reactions proceed by using 5 mol % of catalyst with yields of isolated pyrroles ranging from 13% to 92%. Sixteen examples are used to compare the effectiveness of each catalyst.

Covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) have attracted tremendous attention with respect to their rich nitrogen content, functional triazine units, and high porosity. However, efficient and simple preparation of CTF monoliths is still a challenge. Here, we propose a novel and facile approach for the in situ preparation of CTF aerogels.

The reduction of CO to synthetic fuels is a valuable strategy for energy storage. However, the formation of energy-dense liquid fuels such as methanol remains rare, particularly under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions that can be coupled to renewable electricity sources via electrochemistry. Here, a multicatalyst system pairing an electrocatalyst with a thermal organometallic catalyst is introduced, which enables the reduction of CO to methanol at ambient temperature and pressure.

Controllable engineering of thin lithium (Li) metal is essential for increasing the energy density of solid-state batteries and clarifying the interfacial evolution mechanisms of a lithium metal negative electrode. However, fabricating a thin lithium electrode faces significant challenges due to the fragility and high viscosity of Li metal. Herein, through facile treatment of Ta-doped LiLaZrO (LLZTO) with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, its surface LiCO species is converted into a lithiophilic layer with LiCFSO and LiF components.

Article Synopsis
- PFASs are a group of man-made chemicals, and ultrashort-chain PFAAs have become a focus due to their environmental impact and prevalence.
- A literature database from 1990 to 2024 reveals that these ultrashort-chain PFAAs, particularly TFA, are widely found in various environments and often at higher concentrations than longer-chain PFASs.
- The review also indicates that ultrashort-chain PFAAs are present in many living organisms, including humans, and emphasizes the need for research and regulation due to their increasing significance in environmental health discussions.
