Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer Ring Opening of Cycloalkanols Followed by a Giese Radical Addition Enabled by an Electron Donor-Acceptor Complex.
Org Lett

Organic Chemistry Department (Módulo 1), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Calle Francisco Tomás y Valiente 7, 28049 Madrid, Spain.
Herein, we describe the formation of an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex between electron-rich cycloalkanols and electron-deficient alkenes that triggers the proton-coupled electron transfer ring opening of strained and unstrained cycloalkanols without the need for an external photocatalyst. This activation generates a remote alkyl radical that undergoes a Giese reaction with the Michael acceptor in an efficient manner. Mechanistic investigations corroborate both the formation of the EDA complex and the consecutive Giese reaction.

Article Synopsis
- Precise control over polymer microstructure allows researchers to tailor material properties, but creating complex stereoblock polyesters from certain monomers has been challenging in polymer chemistry.
- The study introduces irreversible chain-transfer ring-opening polymerization (ICT-ROP), which uses two catalysts with different stereoselectivities to achieve better control in synthesizing these complex polymers.
- The researchers successfully produced atactic-syndiotactic stereoblock polyesters and polyhydroxyalkanoates, with notable control over various attributes that affect the physical properties of the final polymers.
Initial Decomposition Mechanism of NHOHN Crystal under Thermal and Shock Loading: A First-Principles Study.
J Phys Chem A
March 2024
School of Environmental and Safety Engineering, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, PR China.
NHOHN is a novel energetic material (EM) which has attracted much interest for its promising performances, including high energy density, high density, low sensitivity, and low toxicity. In this study, the initial decomposition mechanism of NHOHN crystal was investigated under thermal and shock loading by molecular dynamics simulation. First, programmed heating and constant temperature simulations were carried out by molecular dynamics simulation on the basis of density functional theory (DFT-MD).

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of tourism ecological security for sustainable tourism development, specifically in the Huizhou Cultural and Ecological Reserve, a crucial area for ecological protection in China.
- Using the DPSIR model and analysis tools like entropy value-TOPSIS and ArcGIS, the research found that tourism ecological safety in the area has shown an overall increasing trend from 2010 to 2021, with stable improvements in related subsystems.
- The differences in ecological safety levels among different counties in the area initially increased but later narrowed, with some counties like Shexian and Yixian showing faster improvements than others.
Surface Chain-Transfer Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization.

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, 800 Dongchuan Road, Shanghai 200240, China.
Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) is a powerful method to graft various types of polymer chains to a given surface. While surface-initiated ROMP (SI-ROMP) serves as an efficient tool for surface modification and is therefore widely reported, the method requires grafting (1) the olefin substrate and (2) the metathesis catalyst to the surface prior to the polymerization with multiple synthetic and work up steps. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed the use of the chain-transfer reaction as an alternative method for surface modification.
