The Brook rearrangement has emerged as one of the most pivotal transformations in organic chemistry, with broad applications spanning organic synthesis, drug design, and materials science. Since its discovery in the 1950s, the anion-mediated Brook rearrangement has been extensively studied, laying the groundwork for the development of numerous innovative reactions. In contrast, the radical Brook rearrangement has garnered comparatively less attention, primarily due to the challenges associated with the controlled generation of alkoxyl radicals under mild conditions.

The unique optical properties of perovskite quantum dots (PQDs), particularly the tunable photoluminescence (PL) across the visible spectrum, make them a promising tool for chlorinated detection. However, the correlation between the fluorescence emission shift behavior and the interface of phase transformation in PQDs has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we synthesized CsPbBr PQDs via the hot-injection method and demonstrated their ability to detect chlorinated volatile compounds such as HCl and NaOCl through a halide exchange process between the PQDs' solid thin film and the chlorinated vapor phase.

We extend our previous work on the energetics and mechanisms of fragmentation in the mass spectrometry of triacylglycerols (TAGs). Previously, we proposed viable mechanisms for the collision-induced fragmentation of lithiated tripropionylglycerol using triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. In this work, we used a QqLIT mass spectrometer to study both double- and triple-stage spectra from a range of TAGs having acid chains of types AAA (identical acid chains), AAB, ABA, and ABC, with chain lengths of 6-18 carbon atoms; we also studied some TAGs having a single double bond in the Δ-9 position.

Tracking atomic structural evolution along chemical transformation pathways is essential for optimizing chemical transitions and enhancing control. However, molecule-level knowledge of structural rearrangements during chemical processes remains a great challenge. Here, we couple infrared spectroscopy as a non-invasive method to probe molecular transformations, with a machine-learned protocol to immediately map the spectroscopic fingerprints to atomistic structures.

Photopolymerizable robust lipids towards reliability and their applications.

Synthetic lipids have been studied as components in membrane models and drug delivery systems. Polymerizable phospholipids, especially photosensitive ones, can form new bilayer bonds when UV light irradiates. These phospholipids have been known since the 1980s, but in the last few years, new applications have been highlighted.
