Correlation of the solvent effects through application of the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation to the solvolysis of isopropyl chlorothioformate results in a sensitivity value of 0.38 towards changes in solvent nucleophilicity (l) and a sensitivity value of 0.72 towards changes in solvent ionizing power (m). This tangible l value coupled with the negative entropies of activation observed indicates a favorable predisposition towards a modest rear-side nucleophilic solvation of a developing carbocation. Only in 100% ethanol was the bimolecular pathway dominant. These observations are very different from those obtained for the solvolysis of isopropyl chloroformate, where dual reaction channels were proposed, with the addition-elimination reaction favored in the more nucleophilic solvents and a unimolecular fragmentation-ionization mechanism favored in the highly ionizing solvents.

- A new asynchronous cross-linking strategy using divinyl sulfone (DVS) improves perovskite crystallization and creates a durable network through post-treatment with glycerinum.
- This method boosts the efficiency of PSCs to over 25%, enhances their water resistance, reduces stress, and improves durability, marking a significant advancement in their performance and longevity.
Theoretical study of Ni(0)-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of branched 1,3-dienes: reaction mechanism, regioselectivity, enantioselectivity, and prediction of the ligand.

College of Chemistry and Material Science, Shandong Agricultural University, Taian, Shandong, 271018, People's Republic of China.
Context: Nickel-catalyzed hydroamination of dienes with phenylmethanamines was studied theoretically to investigate reaction mechanism. These calculated results revealed that Ni-catalyzed hydroamination began with the O - H bond activation of trifluoroethanol, including three important elementary steps: the ligand-to-ligand hydrogen migration, the nucleophilic attack of phenylmethanamine, and hydrogen migration. The nucleophilic attack of phenylmethanamine was the rate-determining step, and the branched product of 3,4-addition with (S)-chirality was the most dominant.

State Key Laboratory of Powder Metallurgy, Central South University, Changsha 410083, PR China.
Article Synopsis
- The study addresses challenges in aqueous Zn-ion batteries (AZIBs) caused by low coulombic efficiency and Zn dendrite formation, which limit their lifespan and use.
- A new additive, 2-amino-5-guanidino-pentanoic acid (AGPA), is introduced as a zinc flux regulator to enhance the performance and durability of Zn anodes by creating a protective adsorption layer.
- The use of AGPA helps achieve a significant improvement in cycle life, allowing Zn//Zn cells to last 5500 hours and full batteries to sustain 6000 cycles at high currents, thus supporting the potential commercialization of AZIBs.

Department of Chemistry, University of Connecticut, 55 N Eagleville Rd, Storrs, CT, 06269.
Article Synopsis
- - The study presents a new method for forming C-N bonds without the use of transition-metal catalysts, which can be costly and toxic.
- - The process utilizes solvated electrons generated from granulated lithium and sonication to activate aryl halides, allowing for efficient reactions at near ambient conditions.
- - This innovative approach not only expands the types of aryl compounds that can be used in these reactions, including aryl fluorides, but also examines the underlying mechanisms of the process, revealing a competitive path for reductive dehalogenation.
Unveiling the Role of Solvent in Solution Phase Chemical Reactions using Deep Potential-Based Enhanced Sampling Simulations.

We have used a deep learning-based active learning strategy to develop level accurate machine-learned (ML) potential for a solution-phase reactive system. Using this ML potential, we carried out enhanced sampling simulations to sample the reaction process efficiently. Multiple transitions between the reactant and product states allowed us to calculate the converged free energy surface for the reaction.
