Enzymatic cis-dihydroxylation of benzo[b]thiophene, benzo[b]furan and several methyl substituted derivatives was found to occur in both the carbocyclic and heterocyclic rings. Relative and absolute configurations and enantiopurities of the resulting dihydrodiols were determined. Hydrogenation of the alkene bond in carbocyclic cis-dihydrodiols and ring-opening epimerization/reduction reactions of heterocyclic cis/trans-dihydrodiols were also studied. The relatively stable heterocyclic dihydrodiols of benzo[b]thiophene and benzo[b]furan showed a strong preference for the trans configuration in aqueous solutions. The 2,3-dihydrodiol metabolite of benzo[b]thiophene was utilized as a precursor in the chemoenzymatic synthesis of the unstable arene oxide, benzo[b]thiophene 2,3-oxide.

Owing to the improved charge separation and maximized redox capability of the system, Step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunctions have garnered significant research attention for efficient photocatalysis of H evolution. In this work, an innovative linear donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymer fluorene-alt-(benzo-thiophene-dione) (PFBTD) is coupled with the CdS nanosheets, forming the organic-inorganic S-scheme heterojunction. The CdS/PFBTD (CP) composite exhibits an impressed hydrogen production rate of 7.

High-efficiency adsorption of aromatic sulfur-containing compounds from liquid hydrocarbon fuels over metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is challenging because of inert metal sites. A new method, the Ce-enhanced modulation of MOFs' microenvironment, is proposed to modulate the -COO···Cu(II)- coordination microenvironment of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST-1) using Ce(III) as a molecular scalpel for fabricating abundant high-efficiency Cu(I) and Cu-coordination-unsaturated sites and improving the pore structures around adsorptive sites. The optimal CH-250 thus exhibits adsorptive capacities for 20.

The introduction of MINFLUX nanoscopy allows single molecules to be localized with one nanometer precision in as little as one millisecond. However, current applications have so far focused on increasing this precision by optimizing photon collection, rather than minimizing the localization time. Concurrently, commonly used fluorescent switches are specifically designed for stochastic methods (e.

The installation of (benzo)thiophene-containing biaryls via coupling reactions has become a staple in designing photoelectric materials. Undeniably, C-H/C-H cross-coupling reactions between two (hetero)aromatics would be a shortcut toward these structural fragments. While more reliable cross-coupling technologies are well-established to provide C2-arylated (benzo)thiophenes, efficient methods that arylate the C3-position remain underdeveloped.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying special chemicals called quinoidal thiophene derivatives that help with electricity movement in organic materials.
- They looked at three different types of these chemicals to see how their structure affects how well they can transport electricity.
- The findings show that certain structures work better, and one type called benzothiophene is the best at moving electricity compared to the others.
