A steric control on the reductive capacity of ytterbocenes towards iminopyridine ligands is described. The reaction of (η(5)-C(9)H(7))(2)Yb(THF)(2) with a series of 6-organyl-2-(aldimino)pyridyl ligands (IPy) takes place with the replacement of two THF molecules by one IPy unit. In contrast to the rich reductive ytterbocene chemistry described in the presence of the unsubstituted (aldimino)pyridyl ligand, all 6-aryl substituted IPys scrutinized hereafter are involved into the metal coordination as neutral bidentate {N,N} or tridentate {N,N,S; N,N,O} ligands, with no changes of the metal oxidation state in the final complexes. A series of Yb(II) metallocene complexes of general formula (η(5)-C(9)H(7))(2)Yb(II)(η(2) or η(3))[2,6-(i)Pr(2)(C(6)H(3))N=CH(C(5)H(3)N)-6-R)] have been isolated and completely characterized. The stereo-electronic role of the aryl substituents in the IPy ligands on the ytterbocene redox chemistry has also been addressed.

The utilization of low-dimensional perovskites (LDPs) as interlayers on three-dimensional (3D) perovskites has been regarded as an efficient strategy to enhance the performance of perovskite solar cells. Yet, the formation mechanism of LDPs and their impacts on the device performance remain elusive. Herein, we use dimensional engineering to facilitate the controllable growth of 1D and 2D structures on 3D perovskites.

Well-defined single-atom catalysts (SACs) serve as ideal model systems for directly comparing experimental results with theoretical calculations, offering profound insights into heterogeneous catalytic processes. However, precisely designing and controllably synthesizing SACs remain challenging due to the unpredictable structure evolution of active sites and generation of embedded active sites, which may bring about steric hindrance during chemical reactions. Herein, we present the precious nonpyrolysis synthesis of Re SACs with a well-defined phenanthroline coordination supported by NiO (Re-phen/NiO).

A generalizable methodology for predicting retention time of small molecule pharmaceutical compounds across reversed-phase HPLC columns.

J Chromatogr A

Quantitative structure retention relation (QSRR) is an active field of research, primarily focused on predicting chromatography retention time (Rt) based on molecular structures of an input analyte on a single or limited number of reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) columns. However, in the pharmaceutical chemistry manufacturing and controls (CMC) settings, single-column QSRR models are often insufficient. It is important to translate retention time across different HPLC methods, specifically different stationary phases (SP) and mobile phases (MP), to guide the HPLC method development, and to bridge organic impurity profiles across different development phases and laboratories.

Fine-Tuning of the Sequential Self-Assembly of Entangled Polyhedra by Exploiting the Side-Chain Effect.

The control of the sequential self-assembly processes of highly entangled (AgL) (n=2,4,6,8) and AgL coordination polyhedra using side-chain effects was studied via the introduction of linear or branched side chains into the tripodal ligands. In addition to changes in the intermediate polyhedral species affording the multi- pathway process, disruption of the kinetic control of the sequential self-assembly was observed, thus demonstrating the utility of steric control for the construction of 3D-entangled molecular materials on the 5 nm scale with high molecular complexity.
