Published: January 2012

Rare examples of C(sp(3))-F reductive elimination were observed from several cis-F(2)Au(R)(IPr) intermediates generated by oxidation of (IPr)AuR complexes with XeF(2). For R groups bearing β-hydrogens, β-hydride elimination was competitive with C(sp(3))-F reductive elimination. For strained cyclic R groups and most acyclic R groups lacking β-hydrogens, carbocation-like rearrangements occurred prior to C(sp(3))-F reductive elimination. Kinetics of the decay of one cis-F(2)Au(R)(IPr) species, stereochemical analysis of reductive elimination with a chiral R group, and DFT analysis collectively suggest C(sp(3))-F reductive elimination proceeding through transient cationic [(IPr)Au(F)(R)](+) intermediates with significant ionization of the Au-alkyl bonds.

Pertussis is an important public health and clinical issue in China currently. Macrolide resistance in is a serious challenge to prevent and manage pertussis in China. Early, timely and effective antimicrobial therapy plays an important role in alleviating disease, reducing complications and severe diseases, eliminating carriers and reducing secondary transmission, and implementing post-exposure chemoprophylaxis in special scenarios is also necessary to protect individuals at high risk of severe diseases.

The prevalence and death due to cancer have been rising over the past few decades, and eliminating tumour cells without sacrificing healthy cells remains a difficult task. Due to the low specificity and solubility of drug molecules, patients often require high dosages to achieve the desired therapeutic effects. Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) can effectively deliver therapeutic agents to targeted sites in the body, addressing these challenges.

ConspectusMolecular photoelectrocatalysis, which combines the merits of photocatalysis and organic electrosynthesis, including their green attributes and capacity to offer novel reactivity and selectivity, represents an emerging field in organic chemistry that addresses the growing demands for environmental sustainability and synthetic efficiency. This synergistic approach permits access to a wider range of redox potentials, facilitates redox transformations under gentler electrode potentials, and decreases the use of external harsh redox reagents. Despite these potential advantages, this area did not receive significant attention until 2019, when we and others reported the first examples of modern molecular photoelectrocatalysis.
