We present pair potentials for fluorinated methanes and their dimers with CO(2) based on ab initio potential energy surfaces. These potentials reproduce the experimental second virial coefficients of the pure fluorinated methanes and their mixtures with CO(2) without adjustment. Ab initio calculations on trimers are used to model the effects of nonadditive dispersion and induction. Simulations using these potentials reproduce the experimental phase-coexistence properties of CH(3)F within 10% over a wide range of temperatures. The phase coexistence curve of the mixture of CH(2)F(2) and CO(2) is reproduced with an error in the mole fractions of both phases of less than 0.1. The potentials described here are based entirely on ab initio calculations, with no empirical fits to improve the agreement with experiment.

Compared to liquid electrolytes, gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) offer enhanced safety and represent an up-and-coming option for high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs). However, several challenges hindered the practical application of GPEs for LMBs, such as low ionic conductivity at room temperature, decomposition at high voltage, and poor interfacial compatibility with lithium anode. In this study, a non-flammable fluorinated GPE was synthesized using 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (TFEA) and ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) as precursor materials, with succinonitrile (SN) incorporated as a plasticizer and a dual-salt system of lithium bis(trifluoro-methane) sulfonimide and lithium difluoroxalate borate.

Diarylmethanes play, in part, a pivotal role in the design of highly potent, chiral, nonracemic drugs whose bioactivity is typically affected by the substitution pattern of their arene units. In this context, certain arenes such as -substituted benzenes or unsubstituted heteroarenes cause particular synthetic challenges, since such isosteric residues at the central methane carbon atom are typically indistinguishable for a chiral catalyst. Hence, the stereoselective incorporation of isosteric (hetero)arenes into chiral methane scaffolds requires the use of stoichiometrically differentiated building blocks, which is typically realized through preceding redox-modifying operations such as metalation or halogenation and thus associated with disadvantageous step- and redox-economic traits.

In this mixed computational and experimental study, we report a catalytic system for alkane C-C functionalization in which the responsible step for C-H bond activation shows no barrier in the potential energy path. DFT modeling of three silver-based catalysts and four diazo compounds led to the conclusion that the TpAg═C(H)CF (Tp = fluorinated trispyrazolylborate ligand) carbene intermediates interact with methane without a barrier in the potential energy surface, a prediction validated by experimentation using N═C(H)CF as the carbene source. The array of alkanes from propane to -hexane led to the preferential functionalization of the primary sites with unprecedented values of selectivity for an acceptor diazo compound.

The routine monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in drinking water has become an important task in the field of public health. In this study, a fluorinated covalent organic framework (COF) was synthesized at room temperature using tetra-(4-aminophenyl) methane (TAM) and 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro-terephthalal (TFTA) as building blocks and named as TAM-TFTA-COF. The adsorption characteristics of PFASs on the TAM-TFTA-COF were investigated through adsorption model-fitting and molecular calculation.

The application of traditional isocyanate-based polyimide (PI) foams is highly hindered due to limited flame retardancy, poor mechanical properties, and relatively single functionality. Herein, we propose an effective method to fabricate dual cross-linked polyimide/bismaleimide (PI-BMI) foams with outstanding heat resistance and enhanced mechanical properties by incorporating bis(3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-maleimidophenyl)methane (ME-BMI) as the interpenetrating network. The results show that the prepared PI-BMI composite foams exhibit enhanced mechanical properties with lightweight characteristics (23-80 kg·m).
