Three isomeric o-fluoronaphthaldehydes, 9-fluorophenanthrene, and three previously unreported o-fluorophenanthrene aldehydes were analyzed in detail by multiple NMR techniques to provide unambiguous assignment of structures and resonances. The six aldehydes serve as the key starting materials for novel chiral ligands used in highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions.

Objectives: Mixed reality (MixR) is an innovative visualization tool that presents virtual elements in a real-world environment, enabling real-time interaction between the user and the combined digital/physical reality. We aimed to explore the feasibility of MixR in enhancing preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance for the correction of various complex congenital heart defects (CHDs).
Methods: Patients underwent cardiac computed tomography or cardiac magnetic resonance and segmentation of digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images was performed.

Thirteen new meroterpenoids, acremorins A-M (1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9-16), together with three known analogues (3, 5 and 8) were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Acremonium sclerotigenum LW14 guided by the genomic and OSMAC strategy. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, Rh(OCOCF)-induced ECD experiments, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment. Compounds 2, 4, 6 and 9 represent the rare brominated ascochlorins.

is an important source of natural β-carotene (containing and isomers) for industrial production. The phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) has been proven to have impacts on the stress resistance of higher plants, but research on microalgae is currently unclear. In this study, the effects of SA on the growth, biochemical composition, antioxidant enzyme activity, key enzymes of β-carotene synthesis, and cis-and trans-isomers of β-carotene in under different salt concentrations were investigated.

A series of triphenylene (TP) compounds-denoted 3,6-THTP-DiCOH-bearing four hexyloxy ancillary chains and two variable-length alkoxy chains terminally functionalized with hydroxyl groups have been synthesized and characterized. The shorter homologs revealed mesogenic characteristics, giving rise to thermotropic mesophases in which π-stacked columns of H-bound dimers self-organize yielding superstructures. Molecular-scale models are proposed to account for their structural features.

We describe a workshop that prompts chemistry students in the final 2 years of secondary school to apply their understanding of modern analytical chemistry techniques to a 'real world' example. The scenario used is that of a forensic science laboratory that has been asked to determine the structure of an illicit compound, Revisomed (methamphetamine) being sold as a revision aid, and seized by police. Over the course of an hour, the students use a combination of infrared (IR) spectroscopy, liquid chromatography (LC), high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy data to determine the structure of Revisomed from first principles.
